BORROWERS RIGHT TO PREPAY I have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only is known as a Prepayment. When I make a Prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so. I may not designate a payment as a Prepayment if I have not made all the monthly payments due under the Note. I may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayments without paying a Prepayment charge. The Note Holder will use my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under this Note. However, the Note Holder may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount, before applying my Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of the Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes. LOAN CHARGES If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. If a refund reduces Principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial Prepayment. 5.

The amount of the charge will be 5.00 % of my overdue payment of principal and interest. I will pay this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment. (B) Default If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, I will be in default. (C) Notice of Default If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me that if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full amount of Principal which has not been paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the notice is mailed to me or delivered by other means. (D) No Waiver By Note Holder Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later time. (E) Payment of Note Holders Costs and Expenses If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

Adjustable Rate Notes: Data Certification & Document Review Lookback Period (#12)
Job Aid #1
The Lookback Period (expressed in number of days preceding the Interest Rate Change Date) is used to specify the date on which the Index Value that will be used to establish the next Interest Rate change is determined. Document Custodians are required to certify that the Lookback Period transmitted by the Seller matches the information contained in the individual mortgage loan documents for each loan in the pool. For example, if the Seller transmits the data with a code of 021, the Document Custodian must validate that the mortgage Note(s) for all mortgage loans in the pool have a standard Lookback Period of 21 days. Index Rounding Feature Code (#14) The Index Rounding Feature Code is transmitted by the Seller at the loan level as a three-digit number on the 2K file and is transmitted at the pool level on the Schedule of Mortgages, Form 2005. The Code indicates how the Index is rounded prior to the calculation of the new Interest Rate. Each Code has an associated Index Rounding Feature that provides the necessary translation to validate this field against the mortgage Note. The Index Rounding Feature Code and translation are summarized in the following table:
Index Rounding Feature Code 024 025 026 027 028 029 030 000 Index Rounding Feature / Translation th Nearest 1/4 th Up to nearest 1/4 th Down to nearest 1/4 th Nearest 1/8 th Up to nearest 1/8 th Down to nearest 1/8 Truncate to 2 decimals No rounding
Fannie Mae requires that Document Custodians certify that the Index Rounding Feature/Translation for each Index Rounding Feature Code in the Schedule of Mortgages, Form 2005, matches the information contained in the individual loan documents for each mortgage loan in the pool. For example, if the Seller transmits the data with a code of 027, the Document Custodian must validate that the mortgage Note(s) for all of the mortgage loans in the pool are rounded to the nearest 1/8th.

The Index Beginning with the first Change Date, my interest rate will be based on an Index. The Index is the weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board. The most recent Index figure available as of the date 45 days before each Change Date is called the Current Index. If the Index is no longer available, the Note Holder will choose a new index which is based upon comparable information. The Note Holder will give me notice of this choice.
Mortgage Margin ( 13 )
(C) Calculation of Changes Before each Change Date, the Note Holder will calculate my new interest rate by adding percentage points ( %) to the Current Index. The Note Holder will then round the result of this addition to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%). Subject to the limits stated in Section 4(D) below, this rounded amount will be my new interest rate until the next Change Date. The Note Holder will then determine the amount of the monthly payment that would be sufficient to repay the unpaid principal that I am expected to owe at the Change Date in full on the Maturity Date at my new interest rate in substantially equal payments. The result of this calculation will be the new amount of my monthly payment.

However, the Note Holder may apply my Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount, before applying my Prepayment to reduce the Principal amount of the Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due dates of my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes. My partial Prepayment may reduce the amount of my monthly payments after the first Change Date following my partial Prepayment.

Endorsements
Job Aid #2
ENDORSEMENTS
An Endorsement is a method by which the authorized signer transfers ownership of the instrument (i.e. Note) to another party. Fannie Mae requires all Notes to have a complete and uninterrupted chain of endorsements from originator to (blank). The Blank Endorsement must contain the following: Pay to (or Payable To) the Order of - Without Recourse language; A blank space should appear on the line between Pay (or Payable) To The Order Of and Without Recourse (insertion of a visible line is preferred but not necessary); Lender name; Authorized Signature; and Name and title of authorized signer (typed or legibly written). Below is an example of an acceptable way for the endorsing entity to endorse a Note sold to Fannie Mae: Pay to the Order of (Leave this line Blank) Without Recourse XYZ Mortgage, Inc. By: John Doe
Name of Authorized Signer Title of Authorized Signer
The signature on the Endorsement must be an original signature. The only exception to an original signature that Fannie Mae permits is a facsimile signature on the last Endorsement (to blank) when the endorsing entity provides a corporate resolution authorizing use of facsimile signatures and identifies the individuals and/or titles that are authorized to use facsimile signatures. o The Document Custodian must obtain a copy of the required resolution from endorsing entity. If an unsigned Endorsement has been crossed through, the Document Custodian does not need to have the Servicer initial the change. It is acceptable (but not preferable) for the Note Endorsement to contain more of a lender definition (i.e. DBA doing business as) than the lender identification section of the Note. However, the lender section of the Note cannot contain more information than the Note Endorsement.

ALLONGE
An Allonge is an addendum attached to a Note for the purpose of providing endorsements, usually when the original Note does not have enough space for endorsement. It may also be used to correct or complete an Intervening Endorsement or for the final Endorsement in Blank. The Endorsement generally must appear on the Note. However, an Allonge is acceptable to complete the Chain of Endorsements when: (1) the form and manner of Allonge used complies with applicable state, local, and federal laws governing the use of Allonges; (2) it results in a valid and enforceable endorsement to the Note; (3) it is permanently affixed to the Note; and, (4) it clearly identifies the Note. The Allonge must clearly identify the Note by referencing, at a minimum for Document Custodian certification purposes, (A) the amount of the Note and (B) either the Borrower(s) name(s) or the address of the security property. If all three data elements appear on the Allonge, the Document Custodian must confirm that the information listed does not contradict the Note. Any subsequent Endorsements should (but are not required to) be placed on the Allonge. Example: ALLONGE Borrower(s): Property Address: Note/Loan Amount: $ PAY TO THE ORDER OF: Without Recourse Endorsing Company Name By: Signature of Authorized Signer
Name of Authorized Signer Title of Authorized Signer
Please Note: If an Allonge is dated, the date must be on or after the Note date. INTERVENING ENDORSEMENT In addition to the requirements listed above for Endorsements, all Intervening Endorsements must:
Contain the company name and the authorized signature(s) of prior Note holder(s); and, Indicate (at least one of) either the printed name or printed title of the authorized person executing the Intervening Endorsement.
Please Note: If an Intervening Endorsement contains a facsimile signature, the Document Custodian is not required to obtain a Corporate Resolution from Intervening Endorsing entity. On a case-by-case basis please direct any questions regarding acceptable alternatives to Pay to or Payable to language on the Intervening Endorsement, to your regional Fannie Mae Legal Counsel.

BORROWER(S) SIGNATURE(S)
The Borrower is the party obligated to repay the indebtedness secured by the mortgaged premises. The Document Custodian must ensure that the Note has been signed by the Borrower(s) and that the signature(s) does not contradict the typed name(s) below the signature line(s). If the signature(s) varies from the typed name(s), the degree of variance determines whether the document is acceptable for certification.
Explanation
William T. Smith
Slight variations such as a missing middle initial or the omission or inclusion of Jr. or Sr. are generally acceptable
William Smith, Jr. William Smith, individually and as Trustee for the Smith Family Trust under trust instrument dated X,X XX for the benefit of William Smith
William Smith
Borrowers typed name indicates that William Smith has signed in both an individual and trust capacity per the requirements in the Selling Guide, Part IV, Chapter 5, Section 50

ASSIGNMENT FAQ
Q: Does Fannie Mae permit facsimile signatures on Assignments? A: The Document Custodian may accept a facsimile signature if they receive and maintain a copy of a legal opinion prepared by the Seller/Servicers attorney(s) that states facsimile signatures are valid on Assignments in all of the jurisdictions in which the Assignments would need to be recorded. Q: Who must be identified as the Assignee? A: The Assignment must show Fannie Mae as the assignee and must not contain a statement that the assignment is without recourse. Q: Is an Assignee address required? What address is acceptable? A: Yes, the following Assignee address should be used: Fannie Mae, Mail Drawer: Assignments, 3900 Wisconsin Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20016. Q: Who is responsible for maintaining intervening Assignments? A: The Servicer is responsible for maintaining possession of any intervening Assignments. Q: How do I know when an Assignment is required? A: An Assignment is required unless the Mortgage is registered with the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS). If the Seller indicates the Mortgage is registered with MERS, the Document Custodian must: Verify that the 18-digit MIN is all numeric and was transmitted on Schedule of Mortgages (Form 2005). If the Mortgage is not registered with MERS, the Document Custodian cannot certify the pool until the Servicer sends the Document Custodian the unrecorded Assignment to Fannie Mae. Q: Who must execute the Assignment to Fannie Mae? A: When the Seller and Servicer are the same entity, the Assignment typically runs from the Mortgage Seller to Fannie Mae. When the Mortgage Seller and the Mortgage Servicer are not the same entity, as in a concurrent transfer, Fannie Mae requires an Assignment from the Servicer to Fannie Mae (or MERS). If the Mortgage Seller is an affiliate of the originating lender or an investment banker acting as a conduit, and the originating lender will be servicing the Mortgage, the Assignment may be from the originating lender to Fannie Mae. Q: If the Legal Description says refer to Exhibit A for Legal Description, and Exhibit A is not attached, what is the action? A: The Document Custodian must fail the loan, if the Legal Description is not on the Assignment and the Assignment refers to an attachment that is not attached. This is an incomplete document.

AGREEMENT TO COMBINE NOTES AND MORTGAGES (A) By signing this Agreement, Lender and I are combining into one set of rights and obligations all of the promises and agreements stated in the Notes and Mortgages including any earlier agreements which combined, modified, or extended rights and obligations under any of the Notes and Mortgages. This means that all of Lenders rights in the Property are combined so that under the law Lender has one mortgage and I have one loan obligation which I will pay as provided in this Agreement. This combining of notes and mortgages is known as a Consolidation. (B) In the event that Exhibit A indicates that all of the Notes and Mortgages have already been combined by a previous agreement, then Lender and I agree to change the terms of Section II, paragraph (A) of this Agreement to the following: Lender and I agree that all of the promises and agreements stated in the Notes and Mortgages -including any earlier agreements which combined, modified, or extended rights and obligations under any of the Notes and Mortgages -- have been combined into one set of rights and obligations by an earlier agreement which is referred to in Exhibit A. This means that all of the Lenders rights in the Property have already been combined so that under the law Lender already has one mortgage and I have one loan obligation which I will pay as provided in this Agreement. The combining of notes and mortgages is known as a Consolidation. AGREEMENT TO CHANGE TERMS OF THE CONSOLIDATED NOTE Lender and I agree that the terms of the Notes are changed and restated to be the terms of the Consolidated Note which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C. The Consolidated Note contains the terms of payment for the amounts that I owe to Note Holder. I agree to pay the amounts due under the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Consolidated Note. The Consolidated Note will supersede all terms, covenants, and provisions of the Notes. IV. AGREEMENT TO CHANGE TERMS OF THE CONSOLIDATED MORTGAGE Lender and I agree that the terms of the Mortgages are changed and restated to be the terms of the Consolidated Mortgage which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D. The Consolidated Mortgage secures the Consolidated Note and will constitute in law a single lien upon the Property. I agree to be bound by the terms set forth in the Consolidated Mortgage which will supersede all terms, covenants, and provisions of the Mortgages. V. NO SET-OFF, DEFENSES I agree that I have no right of set-off or counterclaim, or any defense to the obligations of the Consolidated Note or the Consolidated Mortgage. VI. BORROWERS INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY I promise that I am the lawful owner occupying the Property and that I have the right to consolidate, modify, and extend the Notes and Mortgages. VII. WRITTEN TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF THIS AGREEMENT This Agreement may not be terminated, changed, or amended except by a written agreement signed by the party whose rights or obligations are being changed by that agreement. VIII. OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWERS AND OF PERSONS TAKING OVER BORROWERS OR LENDERS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS If more than one person signs this Agreement as Borrower, each of us is fully and personally obligated to keep all of Borrowers promises and obligations contained in this Agreement. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Agreement against each of us individually or against all of us together. The terms of the Consolidated Note and the Consolidated Mortgage may not allow any person to take over my rights or obligations under this Agreement. Lender and I agree that if any person is permitted to take over my rights and obligations under this Agreement, that person will have all of my rights and will be obligated to keep all of my promises and agreements made in this Agreement. Similarly, any person who takes over Lenders rights or obligations under this Agreement will have all of Lenders rights and will be obligated to keep all of Lenders agreements made in this Agreement. IX. LIEN LAW I will receive all amounts lent to me by Lender subject to the trust fund provisions of Section 13 of the New York Lien Law. This means that I will: (A) hold all amounts which I receive and which I have a right to receive from Lender under the Consolidated Note as a trust fund; and (B) use those amounts to pay for cost of improvement (as defined in the New York Lien Law) before I use them for any other purpose. The fact that I am holding those amounts as a trust fund means that for any building or other improvement located on the Property I have a special responsibility under the law to use the amount in the manner described in this Section IX.
