The loans were sold by RFC to RASC, the depositor. Prior to assignment to the depositor, RFC reviewed the underwriting standards for the mortgage loans and purchased all the mortgage loans from mortgage collateral sellers who participated in or whose loans were in substantial conformity with the standards set forth in RFC's AlterNet program. The AlterNet program was established primarily for the purchase of mortgage loans made to borrowers that may have imperfect credit histories, higher debt to income ratios or mortgage loans that present certain other risks to investors. The depositor, a special purpose corporation, deposited the loans in the trust, which then issued the certificates. For federal income tax purposes, an election will be made to treat the trust as one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).
