their undersigned counsel, Sbearman 8 Sterling LLP, hereby remove this action from the

Supreme Court ofthe State ofNew York, County ofNew York to the United States District

Court for the Southern District ofNew York pursuant to 28 U.S.C;.§ 1332,. as amended by the

Class Action Fairness Act of2005, 28 U.S.C.- § 1446, and '28 U.S.C. § 1453.' In support oftheir

Notice ofRemoval, the RALI Defendants state as follows:

L On or about September 22, 2008, plaintiffNew Jersey Carpenters . Health

Fund ("Plaintiff') filed this . putative class actson.in the Supreme Court ofthe State ofNew York,

County ofNew York, Index No. 0602727, on behalf ofitself and all others who purchased

certificates -pursuant or traceable to thirteen offerings ofRALI Mortgage AssetBacked Pass-

Through Certificates.

2. 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 ofSecion. 11, Section 12(a)(2), and Section 15 of

the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77k, 771(a)(2), 77o. (Complaint'" 107-138.)

3. This Notice ofR=oyal is timely -under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(x) and (b). It is

being tiled within thirty days ofthe filing and service ofthe Summons and Complaint. The

Complaint was filed on September22, 2008, and none ofthe RALI Defendants was served

before October 1, 2008.

I By removing tb4s matter, the BALI I]c'cn&ats do not wive, and =pr=91y preerve, any and all, defenses thattheymay have including, but not limited to, lack ofpersonal juu risd ion and =vice ofprocess.

Class Action Riess Act

4. This Corot has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to the Class Action

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 ofthe 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 ofCAFA.

(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 behalfof a class consisting ofall 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 ofthe filing ofthis 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 ofthe putative

class. Here, the Complaint alleges that the Defendants made false anti misleading statements in

connection with certificate offerings ofover $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

costs.

$. The state court action satisfies, CAFA's diversity-of-citizenship

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 ofNew

Jersey. (Complaint ¶ 7.) Allofthe RALI Defendants are citizens of a dif ent state as they

maintain offices in Minnesota and are organized under the laws of the State ofNew 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

10. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 144.5(a), attached hereto as Exhibit A is a:

file-stamped copy ofall process, pleadings and orders served on'the RALI:Defendanta, namely

the Summons and Complaint

11. The BALI Defence will promptly serve a copy ofthe Notice of

Removal on Piainti ' s counsel and file with the Clerk ofthe Supreme Court of the State ofNew

York, County ofNewYork, a Notice ofFibbg of Notice of Removal, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

Class and has retained Sch, old, Sporn, Laitman & Lometti, P.C., counsel competent and

sE enced in class and securities litigaLion.

47. 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

to the statutory mewofdamages.

4S. A .class action is superior to all other available methods for the fair and efficient

adjudication of this controversy since joinder of all members is impracticable. P eimore, as

the damages suffered by individual Class members may be relatively small, the Mpense and

burden of individual. litigation make it impossible for members of the Class to individually

r ess the wrongs done to them, There will be no di$icu ly in the dement ofthis action as

a class action.

If specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, a mortgage pool mayinclude mortgage loans that have been underwritten pint to a streamlineddocumentation refinancing program:, Such program permits some mortgage loansto be refinanced with only limited verification or updating of the underwritinginformation that was obtained at the time that. the original mortgage lam wasoriginated . For ammple, a new appraisal, of a mortgaged property may not berequired if the related original mortgage low was on d up to 24 monthsprior to the refinance. In addition, a mortgagor's income may not be verified,although continued employment is required to be verified . In certaincircumstances a mortgagor may be permitted to borrow up to 100°!0 of theoutstanding principal amount of the original mortgage loan. Each mortgage loanmenpursuant to this program will be treated as having been underwrittenpursuant to the same un&xwriting documentation prim as the mortgage loanthat it refinanced, including for pmpnses of the disclosure. in the accompanying

pro's supplement.

If specified in the accompanying prospectus suppled sore mortgage Roansmay h : been on ted under limited docwn on," "scatted documentation"or "no documentation ' programs that require less documentation and verificationthan do traditional "full docum entation" programs. Under a Fnnitaddamson, stated documentation or no documentation program, minimalinvestigation into the mortgages credit history and income profile is undertakenby the originator and theOngmay be based primarily or entirely on anappraisal 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 orindependent appraisers selected in accordance with pre-etablished guidelinesestablished by or suable to the originator. The appraisal procedure guidelines

will have required the appraiser or no agent on its behalfto personally inspect the

prop y and to verify whether the proparty was in good condition and thatconstruction, if new, had been substantially completed. The appraisal will haveconsidered a mazes data analysis of recent sales of comparable properties and,when deemed applicabIe, an analysis based on income generated from theproperty or replacement cost analysis based on. the cuucat cost of constructing orpingasimilar property.

The underwriting standards applied by an orb typically require that theunderwriting officers of the originator be smeted that the value of the propertybeing financed, as indicated by an appraisal or other accepUble valuation methodas described below, currently supports and is anticipated to support in the # rethe outstanding loan balance.

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 ofthese 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,

if required to be stated, would be sufficient to a Ie the mortgagor to meet ita

monthly obligations on the mortgage loan and other expenses related to the

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, includ

those mentioned above and meter fixed obligations, would equal no more than

specified percentages ofthe 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 ofthe 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

With respect to the depositor's undwwriting standards, as well as any airerw riling studs that may be applicable to any mortgage loans, such

underwriting standards typically include a set of specific criteria by which theunderwriting evaluation is made. However, the application of the underwritingstandards does not imply that each specific criterion was satisfied individually.Romer, a mortgage loan will be, ide red to be originated in accordance with agiven set of underwriting staindards if, based on an overall qualitative evaluation,the loan is in substantial compliance with the underwriting standards. Forexampl,e,.&-mortgzge loan may be considered tQ comply With a set of underwritingstandards, even if one or more specs c criteria included in the underwritingstandards were not sahsfie4 if other factors compensated for the trite .a that werenot 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 theoriginator of the mortgage loans and will be described in the accompanyingprospectus supplement.

There can be no assurance thatthe edit Scores of'the mortgagors will be an accurate predictor of the likelihoodof repayment of'the related mortgage loans or that any mortgagor's Credit Scorewould not be lower if obtained as of the date of the accon panying prospectusSUMIMent.

Xn the case of certain borrowerswith acceptable payment histories, no income . will be required to be stated (orverified) in co=aection with the loan application.

Based on the data provided in the applipation and certain verification sfrequired)a determ ination is made by the original leader that the mortgagor' s monthlyincome ("ifrequired to be stated) will be su inient to enable the mortgagor to meetits monthly obligations on the mortgage loan and other expenses related to theproperty such as property taxes, utility costs, standard hard insurance and otherfixed obligations other than housing expenses. Generally, scheduled payments ona mortgage loan during the first year of its term plus taxes and insurance and allscheduled payments on obligations that . extend beyond ten months equal no morethan a specified percentage of the prospective mortgagor's gross income. Thepercentage applied varies on a case by case basis depending on a number ofunderwriting criteria, including the LTV ratio of the mortgage loan.

4utarr ed Underwriting

In recent years, the use of automated undawriting: systems has becomecommonplace in the residential, mortgage market Residential Funding Corpowtion

evaluates many of the mortgage loans that it pi=hases through the use of one ormore automated underwriting systems. In goal,. these systems are programmed

to review most of the information set forth in Residential Funding Corporation's

Seller Guide as the underwriting criteria necessary to satisfy each and itiq

program. In the case of the F deed Criteria Program, the system.may makeadjustments for some c prating factors, which could result in a mortgage loan

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 ora 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,

and ting pasonnel may perform a xnamal review of the mortgage Icondocumentation before Residential Funding Corporation will accept. or reject themortgage loan. For most mortgagee collateral seller Residential Funding

Corporation will conduct a limited review of the mortgage loan do on. If

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 theautomated underwriting system. Mortgage loans that have been approved by the

womated , g. system, and submitted to Reside2dial Funding Corporation

for purchase may be revii to verify that the infommation entered by the

mortgage caHawal seller accurately reflects information wed in theunderwriting domuatiffion. For most mortgage collateral sell, ResidentialFunding Corporation will verify the accuracy of the information with respect to a

sample ofthatmortgage collateral seller`s mortgage looms.

Because an automated underwriting system will only consider the information thatit. is programmed to review, which may be .mare limited than the information thatcould be consider in the course of a manual review, the results of an automatedunderwriting review may not :be consistent with ' results ofa manual view In

addition, there could be propm=ing inconsistencies between an automatedunderwriting system and the u nderwriiing cxiteda set forth in Residential FinadangCorporation's Seller Guide, which could, in turn, be applied to numerous mortgageloans the system reviews; We cannot assure you that an automated underwritingreview will in all cases result in the same d uination as a manual review withrespect to whet s' a mortgage loam satisfies Residential Funding Corporation's

de°rwriting criteria.

An exception may also be allowed if the applicant places a down paymentthrough escrow of at; least 20% ofthe purchase price ofthemortgaged property orif the new loan reduces the ap icsnfa monthly aggregate mortgage payment by25% or more, Accordingly, a mortgagor may qualify in a more favorable risk

category than, in the absence of compensating f`actors,, would satisfy only thecriteria of a. less favorable risk category. It is expected that a substantial portion of

the New Centurymortgage lows. will represent these kinds of exceptions.

mortgages were approved - on either Ent or second payments and long before any adjustable

.kicked up the rates on t mortgages.

89. Having recognized the gross inadequacy of the mortgage eolla etal that they had

pe h d from various leaders around the country, CSS, through its wholly owned subsidiary

DLJ Mortgage ("DLI") filed several lawsuits in New York Federal District Court, Southern

District. throughout 2007, against the lenders from which CSS had purchased the des;

DLJ Mortgage Capita4 Inc. Y. Sunset Direct Lendin& LAC, at a!., Civ. No. 07-01418, filed February 27,2007;

90. These lawsuits asseited by CSS alleged breach of contract for failure to

repurchase looms due to early Payment defaults; failing to repurchase loans arising out of

breaches ofdoss and v unties; and failing to reimburse CSS, or DLI, for losses

incurred due to early payment defaults,

91. Each agreement that DLI entered into with the respective mortgage lenders

contained clauses which required the lenders to repurchase: the mortgage obligations or

reimburse DLI for losses in the event that defaults occurred within a certain time pear"od afkr

DLPs original purchases.

92. By way of example, according to the Complaint filed by DLT against Sunset

Direct Leading, LLC, UL] incurred over $20,000,000 in losses due to defaults on loans

purcha from Sunset Direct between late July 2006 and early January 2007.

93., As the mortgage crisis in the United Smites grew over the fast half of 2007, the

problems facing DLJ spread throughout CSS and its affiliates, ultimately resulting in massive

write-downs and losses onihe company ' s underwriting. leading and investing arms, all ofwhich

were intricately involved in the mortgage backed securities Wsiness.

94. On October 1 ? 2007, CSS annvanced that its financial results . have been "hurt by

rat market events" ink the U.S. housing market Analysts immediately took this

announcement as a `profit warning for the Company's third quarter results.

95. On or about November 1, 2007, tae. Associated Press reported that CSS suffered a

33 percent decline in earnings due to writ owns related to the U. S. housing market.

96. " *e-after, the Associated Press, on or about February 12, 2009, reported that

CSS had announced that the Company's ftmth quarter profit declined 72 percent due to write-

downs of $130 billion on debt and leveraged looms.

97. On or about February 20, 2008, an article published in the Now York Post

rted that CSS was forced to take an additional $2.85 billion te-down resulting from the

use ofoutdated pricing Mmnation in connection with the valuation of their US. mortgage

securities. On the same day, CSS anno nced that the additional write-downs and use ofoutdated

pricing . models resulted in an internal investigation of a handful of its tsnders.

98. In an April 24, 2008 Associated Press article, it was reported that CSS was forced

to incur write-downs due to the U.S. mortgage crisis of over $5.30 billion, resulting in a net loss

for the first quarter 2008 of over $2.D billion.

99. Not long after, in an article published by the Amexican Banker, it was disclosed

that CSS' losses in the first quarter of 2008 were maixily* due to CSS' losses resulting from

massive write-downs related to the U.S. mortgage meltdown.

100. In conaaection with t 2407-QO1 Offering, CSS failed to conduct meaningful due

diligence; including in connection with the underwriting standards used to originate the

Certificate collaterai.

101. DBS also played a key role in the subprime m ap mkt and its ultimate

collapse. DBS, in its 2005 Mtnuaal Review, stated that it had "coxmlidated its position as a Top

3 player in the global. Commercial, Mortgage Backed Securities market and in Real Estate CDOs.

Deutsche Bank was the No. 1 Commercial Real Estate Bank in Euromoney's ix al Real

Estate: pall." However, like Wachovia and RBS, DBS played a role in the downf of those

markets. DBS r forced to write down $3.1 billion in subpirime-related investments in the third

quarter of 2007. In late April 2008, DBS marked down EUR 2.7 billion (apprnx;^y $6

billion) in connection with. "levee loans and loan commitments, commercial real estate and

residential mortgage-backed s cities."

102. Furthermore, DBS also was caught up in governmental investigations of the

collapse of the subprime market. On December 7, 2007, as reported in The Wall Street Journal,

46

Page 55: New Jersey Carpenters Health Fund, et al. v. RALI Series ...securities.stanford.edu/filings-documents/1041/... · DefendantsRAMSeries2006-QO1Tr , BALISeries 2006-Q02Trust,RALI Series2006-Q03TrustBALISeries2®6-QO4Trust,BALISeries2006-QO5Trust,.RALI

the office of the New York State Attorney General served subpoenas to several Wall Street finns

- including DBS -- s icing infotmalion related to the packaging and selling of debt tied. to high

risk mortgages. According. to the toumal, "Tf a review ... is. examining how adequately the

invest ent banks reviewed the quality of mortgages before packaging them into products that

were then sold to investors... The subpoenas also requested infoimaticn about how the debt was

pooled into securities, including the bates'. relationship with creditnatWg fem."

103. In connection with the 2007-Q02. O .g, DBS conducted substandkd and

deficient due diligence, including in connection with. the underwriting standards used to originate

the Certificate collateral.

104. As set forth above, throughout early 2004, O AC in an attempt to bolster

outlook on ResCap's financial condition, provided three massive capital infusions its subsidiary

in order to quell doubts as to its viabiliity. Such infusions did not slow.the decline of the large t

privately held U.S. ho= lender, w.}d on April 18, 2008, IRrsCap borrowed an additiotm . $468

million from the Company's credit line from GI C. On April 24, 2008, S&P lowered its

nongs on ResCap by two. not from. B to CCC+. In motion, Moody's expressed its concern

that ResCap would falter On a $1.75 billion bank loan due to mature in July 2008 and an $875
