Certificates, (iv) the Class A-3 Certificates, (v) the Class A-4

REMIC 1
As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to
treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage
Loans and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement
(exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the Basis
Risk Cap Agreements, any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amounts, the Swap Account, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, and such segregated pool of assets shall be designated as
“REMIC 1.” The Class R-1 Interest shall represent the
sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC 1 for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following
table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated
REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal
Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity
