                  This Pooling and Servicing   Agreement,   is dated and effective

as of February 1, 2005, among PARK PLACE SECURITIES,   INC., as Depositor,   HOMEQ

SERVICING   CORPORATION,   as Master   Servicer   and WELLS   FARGO   BANK,   N.A.,   as

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

 

                  The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates

(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,

which in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest

in each REMIC (as defined herein) created hereunder. The Trust Fund shall

consist of a segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and

certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.

 

                                     REMIC I

                                     -------

 

                  As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the

segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other

related assets (other than any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment

Amounts, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the Swap Account and the

Interest Rate Swap Agreement) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal

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

"REMIC I." The Class R-I Interest shall 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 REMIC I

Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated 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 shall be certificated.
