UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
Dated: [___________]
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.
383 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10179
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. INTRODUCTION. Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities I LLC, a
Delaware
limited liability company (the "Depositor"), from time to time
proposes to issue
and sell Asset-Backed Certificates ("Certificates") in various
series (each a
"Series"), and, within each Series, in various classes, in one or
more offerings
on terms determined at the time of sale. The Certificates of each
series will be
issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement (each, a
"Pooling and
Servicing Agreement") among the Depositor, as depositor, EMC
Mortgage
Corporation, as seller and in certain instances, as company, one or
more master
servicers, a third party trustee (the "Trustee") and, in certain
instances, a
securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator"). Upon
issuance, the
Certificates of each series will evidence undivided interests in
the Trust Fund
(as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) established for
such series
containing mortgages or, in the event the Trust Fund, or a portion
thereof,
constitutes a real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC"),
the Trust Fund
may contain interests issued by a trust which will contain
mortgages, all as
described in the Prospectus (as defined below). Terms not defined
herein which
are defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have the
meanings
ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Whenever the Depositor determines to make an offering of a Series
of
Certificates (an "Offering") through you or an underwriting
syndicate managed or
co managed by you, it will offer to enter into an agreement ("Terms
Agreement")
providing for the sale of such Certificates to, and the purchase
and offering
thereof by, you and such other co managers and underwriters, if
any, which have
been selected by you and have authorized you to enter into such
Terms Agreement
and other related documentation on their behalf (collectively,
the
"Underwriters," which term shall include you whether acting alone
in the sale of
Certificates or as a co manager or as a member of an underwriting
syndicate).
The Terms Agreement relating to each Offering shall specify the
principal amount
of Certificates to be issued and their terms not otherwise
specified in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the price at which the
Certificates are to be
purchased by each of the Underwriters from the Depositor and the
initial public
offering price or the method by which the price at which the
Certificates are to
be sold will be determined. The Terms Agreement, which shall be
substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto, may take the form of an exchange of
any standard
form of written telecommunication between you and the Depositor.
Each Offering
governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms
Agreement,
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Depositor and
each of the
Underwriters participating in the Offering of such
Certificates.
The Depositor hereby agrees with the Underwriters as follows:
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE DEPOSITOR. The
Depositor
represents and warrants to you as of the date hereof, and to each
Underwriter
named in the applicable Terms Agreement as of the date of such
Terms Agreement,
as follows:
(a) A
registration statement on Form S-3, including a prospectus, and
such
amendments thereto as may have been required to the date hereof,
relating to the
Certificates and the offering thereof from time to time in
accordance with Rule
415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), have
been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
such
registration statement as amended has become effective. Such
registration
statement as amended and the prospectus relating to the sale of
Certificates
constituting a part thereof as from time to time amended or
supplemented
(including any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424 of the
rules and regulations of the Commission (the "Rules and
Regulations") under the
Act, including any documents incorporated by reference therein
pursuant to Item

Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") on or before the Effective
Date of the
Registration Statement or the date of the Prospectus Supplement,
are
respectively referred to herein as the "Registration Statement" and
the
"Prospectus"; provided, however, that a supplement to the
Prospectus (a
"Prospectus Supplement") prepared pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof
shall be
deemed to have supplemented the Prospectus only with respect to the
Offering of
the Series of Certificates to which it relates. The conditions of
Rule 415 under
the Act have been satisfied with respect to the Depositor and the
Registration
Statement. The Depositor further proposes to prepare, after the
final terms of
all classes of the Certificates have been established, either a
Free Writing
Prospectus that will contain substantially all information that
will appear in
the Prospectus Supplement, to the extent that such information is
known at that
time and minus specific sections including the Method of
Distribution section or
an Iterative Information Package (such Free Writing Prospectus,
together with
the Basic Prospectus, or any Iterative Information Package, the
"Definitive Free
Writing Prospectus"). The Definitive Free Writing Prospectus must
be provided to
each investor prior to the time of Contract of Sale (as defined
herein). An
"Iterative Information Package" shall mean with respect to any
class of
Certificates, collectively the following documents: (i) one or more

(other than any
Underwriter Derived Information) as known at the time of such term
sheet, and
the tax, ERISA and SMMEA characteristics of that class of
Certificates as known
at the time of such term sheet, (ii) a term sheet supplement,
containing
relevant risk factors and additional information similar to the
information in
the Prospectus Supplement to the extent known at the time of such
term sheet
supplement, and (iii) the Prospectus, which may be provided by a
link to a
website. Each of the items described in (i) and (ii) in the
preceding sentence
shall constitute a Free Writing Prospectus.
(b) On the effective date of the Registration Statement, the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any static pool
information
provided by the Depositor pursuant to Regulation AB Item 1105(a),
(b) and (c),

the

include any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required

and the
Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the
requirements of the Act

Item 1105(a),
(b) and (c), but deemed excluded from the Registration Statement
and the
Prospectus pursuant to Regulation AB Item 1105(d) will not include
any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;
provided, however,
that the foregoing does not apply to any information contained in
or omitted
from the portions of the Prospectus set forth under the caption
"Method of
Distribution" relating to the Certificates and the stabilization
legend required
by Item 502(d)(1) under Regulation S-K of the Act (the
"Underwriter
Information"). In addition, the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus,
as of the
date thereof and as of the Closing Date, did not and will not
contain an untrue
statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to state
a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
effective date
shall mean the earlier of the date by which the Prospectus
Supplement is first
used and the time of the first Contract of Sale to which such
Prospectus
Supplement relates.
(c) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus except as otherwise
stated therein,

binding instrument
enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms,
subject, as to
the enforceability of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of
creditors
generally, and to general principles of equity and the discretion
of the court
(regardless of whether enforceability of such remedies is
considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(f) At the applicable Closing Date, each applicable Terms
Agreement
will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Depositor and will
be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor
enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy,
insolvency,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws affecting the
rights of
creditors generally, and to general principles of equity and the
discretion of
the court (regardless of whether enforceability of such remedies is
considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(g) The issuance of the Certificates has been duly authorized by
the
Depositor and, when such Certificates are executed and
authenticated in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and delivered
against
payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Certificates will be
validly issued and
outstanding; and the Certificates will be entitled to the benefits
provided by
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates are in all
material
respects in the form contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

such
"affiliated person"), as such terms are defined in the Investment
Company Act.

Agreement in
Federal Funds by wire or check. Unless delivery is made through the
facilities

such offers,
solicitations and sales by it shall be made in compliance with all
applicable
laws and regulations. Prior to the date hereof, you have not
offered, pledged,

security
backed by the Mortgage Loans, any interest in any Certificate or
such security
or any Mortgage Loan.
(b) It is understood that each Underwriter will solicit offers
to
purchase the Certificates as follows:
(1) Prior to the time you have received the Definitive Free
Writing Prospectus you may, in compliance with the provisions of
this
Agreement, solicit offers to purchase Certificates; provided that,
you
shall not accept any such offer to purchase a Certificate or
any
interest in any Certificate or Mortgage Loan or otherwise enter
into
any Contract of Sale for any Certificate, any interest in any
Certificate or any Mortgage Loan prior to the investor's receipt of
the
Definitive Free Writing Prospectus.
(2) Any Free Writing Prospectus (other than the Definitive
Free Writing Prospectus) relating to the Certificates used by
an
Underwriter in compliance with the terms of this Agreement prior to
the
time such Underwriter has entered into a Contract of Sale for
Certificates shall prominently set forth substantially the
following
statement:
The information
in this free writing prospectus is
preliminary, and will
be superseded by the
Definitive
Free
Writing Prospectus.
This free writing prospectus is being
delivered to you solely to provide you with information
about
the offering
of the Certificates referred to in this free
writing prospectus
and to solicit an
offer to purchase
the
Certificates, when,
as and if issued. Any such offer to
purchase made
by you will not be accepted and will not
constitute a contractual commitment by you to purchase any
of
the Certificates until we have accepted your offer to purchase
Certificates.
We will not accept any
offer by you to purchase
Certificates, and you will not have any contractual commitment
to purchase
any of the
Certificates
until after you have
received the
Definitive
Free Writing Prospectus. You may
withdraw your offer to purchase Certificates at any time prior
to our acceptance of your offer.

defined in

the Certificates

prominently set forth substantially the following statement:
The Certificates referred to in these materials are being sold
when, as and if issued. You are advised that Certificates may
not be issued that have the characteristics described in these
materials. Our obligation to sell such Certificates to you is
conditioned on the mortgage loans and certificates having the
characteristics described in these materials. If for any
reason we do not deliver such Certificates, we will notify
you, and neither the issuer nor any underwriter will have any
obligation to you to deliver all or any portion of the
Certificates which you have committed to purchase, and none of
the issuer nor any underwriter will be liable for any costs or
damages whatsoever arising from or related to such
non-delivery.
(c) It is understood that you will not enter into a Contract of
Sale
with any investor until the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus has
been conveyed
to the investor. For purposes of this Agreement, "Contract of Sale"
shall have

Commission
guidance relating to Rule 159. The Definitive Free Writing
Prospectus shall
prominently set forth substantially the following statement:
This Definitive
Free Writing Prospectus supersedes the

to
prospective investors certain Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined

Underwriter, to the effect that such accountants have performed
certain
specified procedures, all of which have been agreed to by the
Depositor
and the
Underwriter, as a result of which they determined that all

(8) The Depositor shall not be obligated to file any Free
Writing Prospectuses that have been determined to contain any
material
error or omission, unless the Depositor is required to file the
Free
Writing Prospectus pursuant to Section 5(b) below. In the event
that an
Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the date on which an
investor
entered into an agreement to purchase any Certificates, any
Free
Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of that Underwriter
and
delivered to such investor contained any untrue statement of a
material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the
statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under
which
they were made, not misleading (such Free Writing Prospectus, a
"Defective Free Writing Prospectus"), such Underwriter shall notify
the
Depositor
thereof as soon as practical but in any event within one
business day after discovery.
(9) If any Underwriter does not provide any Free Writing
Prospectuses to the Depositor pursuant to subsection (5) above,
that
Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as of the
Closing

any
information in written or electronic form in connection with
the
offering of the Certificates that is required to be filed with
the
Commission by the Depositor as a Free Writing Prospectus (other
than
the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus) in accordance with the 1933
Act
Regulations.
(10) In the event of any delay in the delivery by the
Underwriter to the Depositor of any Free Writing Prospectuses
required
to be delivered in accordance with subsection (5) above, or in
the
delivery of the accountant's comfort letter in respect thereof
pursuant
to subsection (6) above, the Depositor shall have the right to
delay
the release of the Prospectus to investors or to the Underwriter,
to
delay the Closing Date and to take other appropriate actions in
each
case as necessary in order to allow the Depositor to comply with
its
agreement set forth in Section 5(b) to file the Free Writing
Prospectuses by the time specified therein.
(11) Each Underwriter represents that it has in place, and
covenants that it shall maintain internal controls and procedures
which
it reasonably believes to be sufficient to ensure full compliance
with
all applicable legal requirements of the 1933 Act Regulations
with
respect to the generation and use of Free Writing Prospectuses
in
connection with the offering of the Certificates. In addition,
each
Underwriter shall, for a period of at least three years after the
date
hereof, maintain written and/or electronic records of any Free
Writing
Prospectus used to solicit offers to purchase Certificates to
the
extent not filed with the Commission.
(12) It is understood and agreed that all information provided
by any Underwriter to or through Bloomberg or Intex or similar
entities
for use by prospective investors, or imbedded in any CDI file
provided
to prospective investors, to the extent constituting a Free
Writing
Prospectus, shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be a
Free
Writing Prospectus not containing Issuer Information. In
connection
therewith, the Underwriter agrees that it shall not provide any
information constituting Issuer Information through the foregoing
media
unless that information is contained either in the Definitive
Free
Writing Prospectus or in a Free Writing Prospectus delivered in
compliance with Section 4(d)(5).
(e) Each Underwriter covenants with the Depositor that after the
final
Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any
written
information concerning the Certificates to a prospective investor
unless such
information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus. It
is understood
and agreed that the use of written information in accordance with
the preceding
sentence is not a Free Writing Prospectus and is not otherwise
restricted or
governed in any way by this Agreement.
(f) Each Underwriter shall file any Free Writing Prospectus that
has
been distributed by that Underwriter in a manner that could lead to
its broad,
unrestricted dissemination not later than the date of first use;
provided that,
if that Free Writing Prospectus contains only information of a type
included
within the definition of ABS Informational and Computational
Materials then such
filing shall be made within the later of (i) two business days
after the
Underwriter first provides this information to investors and (ii)
the date upon
which the Depositor is required to file the Prospectus Supplement
with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the 1933 Act Regulations;
provided
further, that the Depositor shall not be required to file any Free
Writing
Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or
additions to a Free
Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.
(g) Each Underwriter further agrees that (i) if the Prospectus is
not
delivered with the confirmation in reliance on Rule 172, it will
include in
every confirmation sent out the notice required by Rule 173
informing the
investor that the sale was made pursuant to the Registration
Statement and that
the investor may request a copy of the Prospectus from such
Underwriter; (ii) if
a paper copy of the Prospectus is requested by a person who
receives a
confirmation, such Underwriter shall deliver a paper copy of such
Prospectus;
(iii) if an electronic copy of the Prospectus is delivered by an
Underwriter for
any purpose, such copy shall be the same electronic file containing
the
Prospectus in the identical form transmitted electronically to such
Underwriter
by or on behalf of the Depositor specifically for use by such
Underwriter
pursuant to this Section 4(h); for example, if the Prospectus is
delivered to an
Underwriter by or on behalf of the Depositor in a single electronic
file in .pdf
format, then such Underwriter will deliver the electronic copy of
the Prospectus
in the same single electronic file in .pdf format. Each Underwriter
further
agrees that (i) if it delivers to an investor the Prospectus in
.pdf format,
upon such Underwriter's receipt of a request from the investor
within the period
for which delivery of the Prospectus is required, such Underwriter
will promptly
deliver or cause to be delivered to the investor, without charge, a
paper copy
of the Prospectus and (ii) it will provide to the Depositor any
Free Writing
Prospectuses, or portions thereof, which the Depositor is required
to file with
the Commission in electronic format and will use reasonable efforts
to provide
to
