| CERTIFICATE HOLDER
(CD) CONCURRENT DATE
In this type of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) pool, all the pooled loans have monthly installments
paid up through the same date as the issue date of the pool. If mortgagor payments for
dates prior to the issue date are delinquent, they are due to the prior holder of the loan, not the
pool. For example, in a pool with an April 1 issue date, all the loans are pooled with interest and
principal installments paid through April 1. The May 1 installments are the initial payments due the
pool. Form HUD 11710A, submitted for the April reporting month, reports installment collections that
are due on or after May 1. All pools under GNMA II (except manufactured home pools or, possibly, pools
converted from GNMA I) are concurrent date pools.
CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT
GNMA I
The servicer sets up the pool and all Certificate Holders. The servicer disburses the funds
collected in Loan Servicing to each Certificate Holder.
GNMA II
The loan payments collected by the servicer are remitted directly to GNMA. GNMA retains all
information for each Certificate Holder, and disburses funds to them.
GUARANTY FEE
Fannie Mae's charge to lenders for guaranteeing to an investor the timely payment of principal
and interest from all the mortgages underlying a Fannie Mae MBS.
IR (INTERNAL RESERVE)
In this type of MBS pool, all the pooled loans have their monthly installments paid up
through the first day of the month prior to the month of issue. For example, in a pool with an April
1 issue date, the loans are pooled with interest and principal installments paid through March 1. The
April 1 installments are the initial payments due the pool. Form HUD 11710A submitted for the April
reporting month reports installment collections that are due on or after April 1. All manufactured
home pools are Internal Reserve Pools.
ISSUE DATE
The first day of the month in which securities backed by an MBS pool are issued; for instance,
if the pool settlement date is November 14, the issue date is considered to be November 1.
LOOK BACK PERIOD
The date on which the index value that will be used to establish the next interest rate charge
for an ARM is determined. It is a specified number of days (usually 30 to 45) before the interest rate
change date.

Rate Mortgage (ARM) or a Graduated Payment Adjustable Rate Mortgage (GPM/ARM).
MBS EXPRESS®

us on the fourth business day of the month and "scheduled" principal and interest
payments on the 18th calendar day.
MBS POOL MORTGAGE
MC OFFICE
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITY (FANNIE MAE MBS)
Security issued against a pool of mortgages with similar characteristics. The security is an
investment instrument that represents an undivided interest in a pool of mortgages. Cash flows generated
by the underlying mortgages are passed through each month from the servicers of the mortgages
to the investors.
Information on each Certificate Holder is retained by Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae disburses funds to
each Certificate Holder. The servicer passes the funds directly to Fannie Mae.
MULTIPLE POOL
An MBS pool that consists of groups of whole mortgages delivered by more than one lender; also
called Fannie Majors.
NET NOTE RATE
The mortgage interest rate after the applicable servicing fee and any guaranty fee for our
various product types have been subtracted.
PARTICIPATION POOL
The group of mortgages that backs a participation certificate. We purchase only a percentage
interest in each of the mortgages for our portfolio. That interest is the same percentage that is specified
on the participation certificate.
PARTICIPATION POOL MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGH RATE
For MBS, this is the interest rate of the security issued pursuant to a Pool Purchase Transaction.

- the pass-through rate.
POOL EXCESS FUNDS REPORT
The amount of prepayment, liquidations, and curtailments that are in the P&I custodial
account at the time the checks are written. These excess funds cannot be used toward the remittance
to the certificate holders.
POOL PURCHASE CONTRACT

A method of sending monthly mortgage payments that requires the lender to remit the scheduled
interest due and the scheduled principal due (whether or not payments are collected from mortgagors).
SECURITY
An ownership interest in a pool of mortgages, which is evidenced by either a definitive certificate
that is authenticated by the certificate registrar or a book-entry account within the Federal Reserve's
book-entry system.
SECURITY BALANCE
For an MBS pool mortgage (or a participation interest in an MBS pool mortgage), this is determined
by reducing Fannie Mae's share of the issue date principal balance of the mortgage by our share of
any principal distribution amounts included in subsequent monthly remittances. For the MBS pool itself,
the aggregate security balance of all the mortgages (or participation interests) in the pool as of
any date is equal to the aggregate issue date principal balances of the mortgages (or participation
interests) less any subsequent principal distribution amounts.
SECURITY HOLDER
SERIAL POOL
A pool set up where the funds are paid to the certificate holder in serial number order. The
certificate holder receives interest only until the redemption date of the serial certificate.
WEIGHTED-AVERAGE ACCRUAL RATE
The weighted-average (rounded to three decimal places) of the accrual rates for the mortgages
in an ARM Flex MBS pool (or any other weighted-average coupon MBS pool). It is the rate at which interest
will accrue on the securities.
WHOLE LOAN
The purchaser of a loan buys 100% of the loan. The note is endorsed over to the new owner and
an assignment of rights is executed and recorded.
