this Agreement.

 

                                     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 Pre-Funding Account,

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" in REMIC I for

purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table

Date; provided that if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate
