(2)   Interest   will accrue on these REMIC III Regular   Interests   at a per annum
     rate equal to the least of (i) LIBOR plus the   Pass-Through   Margin for the
     Corresponding   Class of Certificates,   (b) 10.50% and (c) the Group I REMIC

     For   purposes   of the REMIC   Provisions,   with   respect   to each   REMIC III
     Regular   Interest,   each   reference   to a Net   Rate   Cap in the   applicable
     Pass-Through   Rate of the   Corresponding   Class   of   Certificates   shall be
     deemed   to be a   reference   to the   Group I REMIC   Cap;   therefore,   on any
     Distribution   Date on which   the   Pass-Through   Rate for the   Corresponding
     Class of   Certificates   exceeds   the Group I REMIC Cap,   interest   accruals
     based on such excess   shall be treated as having been paid from the related

     is based on the   applicable   Net Rate   Cap,   the   excess   of the   amount of

     I REMIC   Cap   were   substituted   for the   applicable   Net Rate Cap over the
     interest   accrued on such Class of   Certificates   based on the   related Net
     Rate Cap shall be   treated   as having   been   paid by the   related   Class of
     Certificates to the   Supplemental   Interest   Trust,   all pursuant to and as
     further provided in Section 8.04 herein.

(3)   For federal income tax purposes, the Class I-C-1 REMIC III Regular Interest
     will have an initial   Uncertificated   Balance   equal to the Group I Initial
     Overcollateralization   Amount.   The Class I-C-1 REMIC III Regular   Interest
      will   bear   interest   at its   variable   Pass-Through   Rate on its   Notional
     Amount. The Class I-C-1 REMIC III Regular Interest will not accrue interest

(4)   The Class P REMIC III Regular Interest will not bear interest.

(5)   For federal   income tax   purposes,   the Class   I-Swap-IO   REMIC III Regular
     Interest will not have an Uncertificated   Balance,   but will be entitled to
     100% of the   amounts   received   in   respect   of REMIC II   Regular   Interest
