PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell

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 Cap Contracts and the Reserve Fund) as a
REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of
assets will be designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R-I
Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests”

herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the initial

determined in accordance with the definition of Cut-off Date
herein.
“Mortgage Note”: The
original executed note or other evidence of the indebtedness of a
Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan.
“Mortgage Rate”: With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the annual rate at which interest

Date shall be the rate set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as

Regular Interest I-LTM10, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTB1, REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTB2, REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTB3 and any Interest Accrual
Period therefor, the rate determined by the Securities
Administrator on the related Interest Determination Date on the
basis of the offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits, as
such rate appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London
time) on such Interest Determination Date; provided that if such
rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for such date
will be determined on the basis of the offered rates of the
Reference Banks for one-month U.S. dollar deposits, as of 11:00
a.m. (London time) on such Interest Determination Date. In such
event, the Securities Administrator will request the principal
London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation
of its rate. If on such Interest Determination Date, two or more
Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, One-Month LIBOR
for the related Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic
mean of such offered quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to
the nearest whole multiple of 1/16). If on such Interest
Determination Date, fewer than two Reference Banks provide such
offered quotations, One-Month LIBOR for the related Interest
Accrual Period shall be the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on
the previous Interest Determination Date and (ii) the Reserve
Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, under the
priorities described above, LIBOR for an Interest Determination
Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous Interest
Determination Date for the third consecutive Interest Determination
Date, the Securities Administrator shall select an alternative
comparable index (over which the Securities Administrator has no
control), used for determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates
that is calculated and published (or otherwise made available) by
an independent party. The establishment of One-Month LIBOR by the
Securities Administrator and the Securities Administrator’s
subsequent calculation of the One-Month LIBOR Pass-Through Rates
for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be final and binding.
