POOLING
AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of January 1, 2005, among
BEAR
STEARNS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES I LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, as
depositor (the "Depositor"), EMC MORTGAGE
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation,
as seller (in such capacity, the "Seller")
and as master servicer (in such
capacity, the "Master Servicer") and
LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a
national banking association, not in its
individual capacity, but solely as
trustee (the "Trustee").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The
Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed
to
the Trustee in return for the
Certificates.
REMIC I
As
provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of
assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and
certain other related assets subject
to this Agreement (other than the Reserve
Fund, the Swap Agreement, the Swap
Account and any rights or obligations in
respect of the Swap Administration
Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income
tax purposes, and such segregated pool
of assets will be designated as "REMIC I".
The Class R-1 Certificates will be
the sole class of "residual interests" in
REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions (as defined herein). The
following table irrevocably sets forth the
Class designation, the Uncertificated REMIC
I 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 date" for
each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as
defined herein). None of the REMIC I
Regular Interests will be certificated.

Each
