In a 'Shifting Interest' structure, what is the purpose of the 'Lockout Period' for subordinate classes?

  1. To allow the mortgage loan originator to repurchase only the worst-performing loans from the securitized collateral pool entirely.
  2. To ensure that all prepayment principal is used to retire senior bonds first, thereby increasing the senior class's relative credit support.
  3. To prevent subordinate class bondholders from freely selling or transferring their certificated positions in the secondary trading market at any time.
  4. To hedge the trust's overall cash flows against the risk of rising short-term interest rates on the pool's underlying fixed-rate mortgage collateral.
