Financial Guaranty Insurance Company  ("Financial  Guaranty"),  a New York stock

to the extent set forth in the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  (as  defined

The  term  "Deficiency  Amount"  shall  mean  with  respect  to the  Class  A-II
Certificates as of any Distribution Date, (i) any shortfall in amounts available
in the  Certificate  Account on that  Distribution  Date to pay interest for the
related  Interest  Accrual Period on the  Certificate  Principal  Balance of the
Class A-II  Certificates at the  then-applicable  Pass-Through  Rate, net of any
interest shortfalls relating to the Relief Act, any Group II Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls  and  any  Basis  Risk   Shortfalls   allocated  to  the  Class  A-II
Certificates, (ii) the principal portion of any Realized Losses allocated to the

<PAGE>


The term "Scheduled  Final  Distribution  Date" for the Class A-II  Certificates
means the Distribution Date occurring in December, 2031.

Financial  Guaranty will pay a Deficiency  Amount with respect to the Class A-II
Certificates  by 12:00 noon (New York City Time) in immediately  available funds
to the Trustee on the later of (i) the Business Day  following  the Business Day
on which Financial  Guaranty shall have received Notice that a Deficiency Amount
is due in respect of the Class A-II  Certificates and (ii) the Distribution Date
on which the related  Deficiency  Amount is  distributable to the Holders of the
Class A-II  Certificates  pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement,  for
disbursement to the Holders of the Class A-II Certificates in the same manner as
other  payments with respect to the Class A-II  Certificates  are required to be
made. Any Notice  received by Financial  Guaranty after 12:00 noon New York City
time on a given  Business  Day or on any day that is not a Business Day shall be
deemed  to have been  received  by  Financial  Guaranty  on the next  succeeding
Business Day.

Upon  payment  of  a  Deficiency  Amount,  Financial  Guaranty  shall  be  fully
subrogated  to the  rights of the  Holders  of the Class  A-II  Certificates  to
receive the amount so paid. Financial Guaranty's obligations with respect to the
Class A-II  Certificates  hereunder with respect to each Distribution Date shall
be discharged to the extent funds  consisting of the related  Deficiency  Amount
are  received  by the  Trustee  on  behalf  of the  Holders  of the  Class  A-II
Certificates  for  payment to such  Holders,  as  provided  in the  Pooling  and
Servicing  Agreement and herein,  whether or not such funds are properly applied
by the Trustee.

If any  portion  or all of  any  amount  that  is  insured  hereunder  that  was
previously distributed to a holder of Class A-II Certificates is recoverable and
recovered  from such Holder as a voidable  preference by a trustee in bankruptcy
pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to a final  non-appealable  order
of a court exercising proper jurisdiction in an insolvency  proceeding (a "Final
Order") (such recovered amount, a "Preference Amount"),  Financial Guaranty will
pay on the guarantee described in the first paragraph hereof, an amount equal to
each such Preference  Amount by 12:00 noon on the next  Distribution  Date after
the Business Day following receipt by Financial Guaranty of (x) a certified copy
of the Final  Order,  (y) an  assignment,  in form  reasonably  satisfactory  to
Financial Guaranty,  irrevocably  assigning to Financial Guaranty all rights and
claims of the Trustee and/or such Holder of the Class A-II Certificates relating
to or arising under such Preference Amount and appointing  Financial Guaranty as
the agent of the  Trustee  and/or  such  Holder in  respect  of such  Preference
Amount, and (z) a Notice appropriately  completed and executed by the Trustee or
such  Holder,  as the case may be. Such payment  shall be made to the  receiver,
conservator,  debtor-in-possession  or trustee in bankruptcy  named in the Final
Order  and not to the  Trustee  or Holder of Class  A-II  Certificates  directly
(unless  the  Holder  has   previously   paid  such  amount  to  such  receiver,
conservator,  debtor-in-possession or trustee named in such Final Order in which

                                        2

<PAGE>


case payment  shall be made to the Trustee for  distribution  to the Holder upon
proof  of  such  payment   reasonably   satisfactory  to  Financial   Guaranty).
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in no event  shall  Financial  Guaranty be (i)
required to make any payment under this Surety Bond in respect of any Preference
Amount to the extent such Preference  Amount is comprised of amounts  previously
paid by Financial Guaranty  hereunder,  or (ii) obligated to make any payment in
respect of any  Preference  Amount,  which  payment  represents a payment of the
principal  amount of any Class A-II  Certificates,  prior to the time  Financial
Guaranty otherwise would have been required to make a payment in respect of such
principal,  in which  case  Financial  Guaranty  shall  pay the  balance  of the
Preference Amount when such amount otherwise would have been required.

Any of the  documents  required  under  clauses (x) through (z) of the preceding
paragraph that are received by Financial Guaranty after 12:00 noon New York City
time on a given  Business  Day or on any day that is not a Business Day shall be
deemed  to have been  received  by  Financial  Guaranty  on the next  succeeding
Business  Day. All payments made by Financial  Guaranty  hereunder in respect of
Preference Amounts will be made with Financial Guaranty's own funds.

This Surety Bond is non-cancelable for any reason,  including  nonpayment of any
premium.  The  premium on this  Surety  Bond is not  refundable  for any reason,
including the payment of any Class A-II  Certificates  prior to their respective
maturities.  This Surety Bond shall expire and  terminate  without any action on
the part of Financial Guaranty or any other Person on the date that is the later
of (i) the date  that is one year and one day  following  the date on which  the
Class A-II Certificates  shall have been paid in full and (ii) if any insolvency
proceeding  with respect to which the Depositor is the debtor has been commenced
on or prior to the date  specified  in clause (i) above,  the 30th day after the
entry of a final,  non-appealable  order in  resolution  or  settlement  of such
proceeding.

A monthly premium shall be due and payable in arrears as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

This Surety Bond is subject to and shall be governed by the laws of the State of
New York.  The proper  venue for any action or  proceeding  on this  Surety Bond
shall be the County of New York,  State of New York.  The insurance  provided by
this  Surety  Bond is not  covered by the New York  Property/Casualty  Insurance
Security Fund (New York Insurance Code, Article 76).

"Notice"  means a written notice in the form of Exhibit A to this Surety Bond by
registered or certified mail or telephonic or telegraphic  notice,  subsequently
confirmed by written notice delivered via telecopy,  telex or hand delivery from
the Trustee to Financial Guaranty  specifying the information set forth therein.
"Holder" means, as to a particular  Class A-II  Certificate,  the person,  other
than the Master Servicer, any subservicer retained by the Master Servicer or the

                                        3

Depositor who, on the applicable  Distribution Date, is entitled under the terms
of such Class A-II Certificate to a distribution thereon. "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement" means the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement relating to the Class A-II
Certificates  by  and  among  Residential  Asset  Securities   Corporation,   as
Depositor,  Residential Funding Corporation,  as Master Servicer,  and Bank One,
National Association, as Trustee, dated as of December 1, 2000.

In the event that payments  under any Class A-II  Certificate  are  accelerated,
nothing herein contained shall obligate  Financial  Guaranty to make any payment
of principal or interest on such Class A-II Certificate on an accelerated basis,
unless such acceleration of payment by Financial  Guaranty is at the sole option
of Financial  Guaranty;  it being understood that a payment shortfall in respect
of the redemption of any Class A-II Certificates by reason of the termination of
the Trust Fund  pursuant to Article IX of the Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement
does not constitute acceleration for the purposes hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Financial Guaranty has caused this Surety Bond to be affixed
with its  corporate  seal and to be signed  by its duly  authorized  officer  in
facsimile to become  effective and binding upon Financial  Guaranty by virtue of
the countersignature of its duly authorized representative.

pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to a final  non-appealable  order

proof  of  such  payment   reasonably   satisfactory  to  Financial   Guaranty).
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in no event  shall  Financial  Guaranty be (i)
required to make any payment under this Surety Bond in respect of any Preference
Amount to the extent such Preference  Amount is comprised of amounts  previously

Guaranty otherwise would have been required to make a payment in respect of such

the part of Financial Guaranty or any other Person on the date that is the later
of (i) the date  that is one year and one day  following  the date on which  the

entry of a final,  non-appealable  order in  resolution  or  settlement  of such
proceeding.

In the event that  payments  under any Class A-I  Certificate  are  accelerated,
nothing herein contained shall obligate  Financial  Guaranty to make any payment
of principal or interest on such Class A-I Certificate on an accelerated  basis,
unless such acceleration of payment by Financial  Guaranty is at the sole option

of the redemption of any Class A-I  Certificates by reason of the termination of
the Trust Fund  pursuant to Article IX of the Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement
