PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

     WHEREAS, the Depositor will acquire all of the rights, title and interest of the Sellers in certain conventional, first priority lien, fixed rate and adjustable rate, residential mortgage loans identified in Schedule I hereto on a servicing-released basis from the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, and at the Closing Date will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund;

     WHEREAS, the Depositor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund;

     WHEREAS, on the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates as consideration for its transfer to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund;

     The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of eighteen classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class AV-1 Certificates, (ii) the Class AV-2 Certificates, (iii) the Class AV-3 Certificates, (iv) the Class M-1 Certificates, (v) the Class M-2 Certificates, (vi) the Class M-3 Certificates, (vii) the Class M-4 Certificates, (viii) the Class M-5 Certificates, (ix) the Class M-6 Certificates, (x) the Class M-7 Certificates, (xi) the Class M-8 Certificates, (xii) the Class M-9 Certificates, (xiii) the Class M-10 Certificates, (xiv) the Class M-11 Certificates, (xv) the Class P Certificates, (xvi) the Class C Certificates, (xvii) the Class R Certificates and (xviii) the Class R-X Certificates.
