POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT,
dated as of August 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, a
“Seller”) and as master servicer (in such capacity, the
“Master Servicer”) and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, 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 and the
Swap Account) as a REMIC (as defined herein) 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 (as defined herein) 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 in the month
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 III Regular
Interest.
|
|
(2)
|
This Class of Certificates represents ownership
of a Regular Interest in REMIC III. Any amount distributed on this
Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date in excess of the
amount distributable on the related Regular Interest in REMIC III
on such Distribution Date shall be treated for federal income tax
purposes as having been paid from the Reserve Fund or the Swap
Account, as applicable, and any amount distributable on the related
Regular Interest in REMIC III on such Distribution Date in excess
of the amount distributable on such Class of Certificates on such
Distribution Date shall be treated for such purposes as having been
distributed to the Holders of such Certificates and paid by such
Holders to the Swap Account, all pursuant to and as further
provided in Section 3.20 hereof.
|
|
(3)
|
Calculated in accordance with the definition of
“Pass-Through Rate” herein. Each Regular Interest in
REMIC III (other than the Class C Certificate and Class IO
Interest) which corresponds to a Certificate will have the same
Pass-Through Rate as such Certificate, except with respect to the
Net Rate Cap. The Net Rate Cap for each such Regular Interest in
REMIC III and Certificate is specified in the definition of
“Net Rate Cap”.
|
|
(4)
|
The Class C Certificate will accrue interest at
its variable Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of the Class
C Certificate outstanding from time to time which shall equal the
aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular
Interests. The Class C Certificate will not accrue interest on its
Certificate Principal Balance.
|
|
(5)
|
For federal income tax purposes, the Class IO
Interest will not have a Pass-Through Rate, but will be entitled to
100% of the amounts distributed on REMIC II Regular Interest
IO.
|
|
(6)
|
For federal income tax purposes, the Class IO
Interest will not have an Uncertificated Principal Balance, but
will have a notional amount equal to the Uncertificated Notional
Amount of REMIC II Regular Interest IO.
|
|
(7)
|
The Class IO Interest will be held as an asset
of the Swap Account established by the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust Fund.
|
|
|
|
The Trust Fund shall be named, and
may be referred to as, the “SACO I Trust 2005-6.” The
Certificates issued hereunder may be referred to as
“Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 2005-6”
(including for purposes of any endorsement or assignment of a
Mortgage Note or Mortgage).
