Basis Risk Carryover Amounts, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account,
(v) the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Supplemental Interest

(each a “ REMIC ” or, in the alternative,
“REMIC 1,” REMIC 2” and “REMIC 3,”
REMIC 3 also being referred to herein as the “ Upper Tier
REMIC .”) Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this
Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be
resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC
election.
Each Certificate, other than the Class R

Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition,
each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class X and Class P
Certificates, represents (i) the right to receive payments with
respect to any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts and (ii) the obligation
to pay Class I Shortfalls. The Class R Certificate represents
ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC
1, REMIC 2 and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions.
The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets
the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, other than the
Class LT2-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby
designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the
uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, other than the
Class LT1-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby
designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as
its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the Lower Tier
Interests in REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 and the Excluded Trust
Assets.

The Class LT1-R
interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear
interest. The Class LT1-R interest is hereby designated as the sole
class of residual interest in REMIC 1.
|
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall first pay or charge as an expense of REMIC 1
all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date, other
than any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment required to
be made from the Trust Fund.
On each Distribution Date the Securities
Administrator shall distribute the Interest Remittance Amount (net
of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect to
each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 based on the
above-described interest rates.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall distribute the Principal Remittance Amount with
respect to the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, first to the Class
LT1-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero, and
then sequentially, to the other Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in
ascending order of their numerical class designation, and, with
respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical
designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the
principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. All losses
on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier
Interests in REMIC 1 in the same manner that principal
distributions are allocated.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums collected
during the preceding Prepayment Period to the Class LT1-F42 and
Class LT1-V42 Lower Tier Interests, respectively.
REMIC
2:
The following table sets forth the designations,
principal balances and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 2,
each of which (other than the Class LT2-R interest) is hereby
designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 (the “REMIC 2

___________________________
|

(1)
|
For any
Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) the
interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 is
a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest
rates on the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 for such Distribution
Date; provided, however , that (i) for any Distribution Date
on which the Class LT2-IO Interest is entitled to a portion of the
interest accruals on a Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 having an
“F” in its class designation, as described in footnote
two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first
subjecting the rate on such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 to a cap
equal to Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.
|
|
|
(2)
|
The Class
LT2-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal
balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first
column in the table below, the Class LT2-IO shall be entitled to
interest accrued on the Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 listed in
second column in the table below at a per annum rate equal to the
excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for such Lower Tier
Interest in REMIC 1 for such Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR
for such Distribution Date.
|
|
|
(3)
|
The Class LT2-R
interest is the sole class of residual interests in REMIC 2. It
does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.
|
|
|
(4)
|
This Lower Tier
Interest shall have an initial class principal amount equal to
one-half of the initial Class Principal Amount of its Corresponding
Class of Certificates.
|
|
|
(5)
|
This Lower Tier
Interest shall have an initial class principal amount equal to the
excess of (i) the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off
Date, over (ii) the aggregate initial Class Principal Amount of
each other regular interest in REMIC 2 (other than any
interest-only Lower Tier Interest).
|
On each Distribution Date, interest shall be
distributed on the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 based on the
above-described interest rates; provided, however , that
interest that accrues on the Class LT2-Q Interest shall be deferred
in an amount equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the
Overcollateralization Amount for such Distribution Date. Any
interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest
rate for the Class LT2-Q Interest. An amount equal to the interest
so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the
other Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 having a principal balance in
the manner described under priority (a) below.
On each Distribution Date principal shall be
distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in the following order of
priority:
(a) First, to the Class LT2-I-A-1, Class LT2-I-A-2,
Class LT2-II-A1, Class LT2-II-A2, Class LT2-II-A3, Class LT2-II-A4,
Class LT2-M1, Class LT2-M2, Class LT2-M3, Class LT2-M4, Class
LT2-M5, Class LT2-M6, Class LT2-M7, Class LT2-M8, Class LT2-M9, and
Class LT2-M10 Interests until the principal balance of each such
Lower Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Amount
of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such
Distribution Date; and
(b) Second, to the Class LT2-Q Interests, any
remaining amounts.
On each Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall be deemed to have distributed the Prepayment
Premiums passed through with respect to the Class LT1-F42 and Class
LT1-V42 Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 on such Distribution Date
to the Class LT2-Q Interest.
Upper
Tier REMIC
The Upper Tier REMIC shall issue the following
Classes of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interests and each such
interest, other than the Class R Interest, is hereby designated as
a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.

The Class I-A-1
Interest will bear interest during each Interest Accrual Period at
a per annum rate equal to (a) on or prior to the Optional
Termination Date, the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable
Interest Margin and (ii) the Group I Available Funds Cap or
(b) after the Optional Termination Date, the lesser of
(i) LIBOR plus the applicable Interest Margin and
(ii) the Group I Available Funds Cap. For purposes of the
REMIC Provisions, the reference to “Group I Available Funds
Cap” in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be deemed
a reference to the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap; therefore, on any
Distribution Date on which the Interest Rate for the Class I-A-1
Certificates exceeds the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap, interest accruals
based on such excess shall be treated as having been paid from the
Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as
applicable; on any Distribution Date on which the Interest Rate on
the Class I-A-1 Certificates is based on the Group I Available
Funds Cap, the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
Class I-A-1 Certificates if the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap were
substituted for the Group I Available Funds Cap shall be treated as
having been paid by the Class I-A-1 Certificateholders to the
Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further
provided in Section 8.11 hereof.

Certificates exceeds the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap, interest accruals
based on such excess shall be treated as having been paid from the
Excess Reserve Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as
applicable; on any Distribution Date on which the Interest Rate on
the Class II-A-4 Certificates is based on the Group II Available
Funds Cap, the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
Class II-A-4 Certificates if the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap were
substituted for the Group II Available Funds Cap shall be treated
as having been paid by the Class II-A-4 Certificateholders to the

during each Interest Accrual Period at a per annum rate equal to
(a) on or prior to the Optional Termination Date, the lesser
of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable Interest Margin and
(ii) the Class M Available Funds Cap or (b) after the
Optional Termination Date, the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus the
applicable Interest Margin and (ii) the Class M Available
Funds Cap. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the reference to
Class M Available Funds Cap in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the REMIC 2 Net Funds

for the Class M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5, M-6, M-7, M-8, M-9 and M-10
Certificates, as applicable, exceeds the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap,
interest accruals based on such excess shall be treated as having

accrued on each such Class of Certificates if the REMIC 2 Net Funds
Cap were substituted for the Class M Available Funds Cap shall be
treated as having been paid by the Class M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5,
M-6, M-7, M-8, M-9 and M-10 Certificateholders, as applicable, to
the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further

For purposes of
the REMIC Provisions, the Class X Interest shall have an initial
principal balance of $21,536,821.65 (initial overcollateralization
of $21,536,921.65 less $100.00 attributable to the Class P
Principal Amount), and the right to receive distributions of such
amount represents a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The
Class X Certificate shall also comprise two notional components,
each of which represents a regular interest in the Upper Tier
REMIC. The first such component has a notional balance that will at
all times equal the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, and, for each Distribution Date
(and the related Interest Accrual Period) this notional component
shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if
any, of (i) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower
Tier Interests in REMIC 2 (other than any interest-only regular
interest) over (ii) the Adjusted Lower Tier WAC. The second
notional component represents the right to receive all
distributions in respect of the Class LT2-IO in REMIC 2 (the
“LT3-I” interest). In addition, for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions, the Class X Certificate shall represent
beneficial ownership of (i) the Excess Reserve Fund Account; (ii)
the Supplemental Interest Trust, including the Swap Agreement, Swap
Account, Cap Agreement, and Cap Account, and (iii) an interest in
the notional principal contracts described in Section 8.11
hereof.

|
|
The
Class R Interest is the sole Class of residual interest in the
Upper Tier REMIC. The Class R Interest is issued without a
principal amount does not bear a stated Interest Rate. The Class R
Certificate will be issued as a single certificate evidencing the
initial Percentage Interest of such Class, and shall represent
ownership of each of the Class R, Class LT1-R, and Class LT2-R
Interests.
|
|
|
The Class P
Interest shall not bear interest at a stated Interest Rate.
Prepayment Charges paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be
paid to the Class P Certificateholders as provided in Section
4.02(b). For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class P Interest
shall represent a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The
Class P Certificate will have a Class P Principal Amount of
$100.
|
|
|
Each of these
Certificates will represent not only the ownership of the
Corresponding Class of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest but
also the right to receive payments from (i) the Excess Reserve Fund
Account in respect of any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts and (ii) the
Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of proceeds from the
Derivative Agreements. For federal income tax purposes, the
Securities Administrator will treat a Certificateholder’s
right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund Account as
payments made pursuant to an a notional principal contract written
by the Class X Certificateholders.
|
The minimum denomination for each Class of
Certificates, other than the Class P, Class R and the
Class X Certificates, will be $25,000 of Certificate Balance
($100,000 with respect to initial investors resident in a Member
State of the European Economic Area subject to the EU Prospectus
Directive 2003/71/EC) with integral multiples of $1 in excess
thereof, except that one Certificate in each Class may be
issued in a different amount. The minimum denomination for each of
the Class P and Class X Certificates will be a 10.00%
Percentage Interest in such Class, and the minimum denomination for
the Class R Certificates shall be 100% Percentage Interest in
such Class.
