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

  1. To allow the originator to repurchase the worst-performing loans from the pool.
  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 bondholders from selling their positions in the secondary market.
  4. To hedge against the risk of rising interest rates on fixed-rate mortgage loans.
