         POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 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

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.

___________________________

(1)       For purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury

         regulations, the Distribution Date immediately following the maturity

         date for the Mortgage Loan with the latest maturity date has been

         designated as the "latest possible maturity date" for each REMIC I

         Regular Interest.

(2)       Calculated in accordance with the definition of "Uncertificated REMIC I

         Pass-Through Rate" herein.

 

                                     REMIC II

                                    --------

 

         As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool

of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal

income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as

"REMIC II". The Class R-2 Certificates will be the sole class of "residual

interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The following table

irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC II 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 II Regular Interests (as defined herein).

None of the REMIC II Regular Interests will be certificated.
