The Securities Administrator shall elect that five segregated

(ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iii)
the Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account and (v)
the right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts

comprising five REMICs (each, a "Trust REMIC," or in the alternative,
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Class X REMIC, respectively). The Class X Interest, Class IO
Interest and each Class of LIBOR Certificates (other than the right of each
Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive (i) Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and,
without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and (ii) the obligation to
pay Class IO Shortfalls) represents ownership of a regular interest in a REMIC
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

The Class RX Certificates represent ownership of the sole class
of residual interest in the Class X REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The Class RC Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual
interest in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class
R Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in
each of Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Start-up Day for each Trust REMIC is the
Closing Date. The latest possible maturity date for each regular interest is the

The Class X REMIC shall hold as assets the Class UT-X Interest,
the Class UT-IO Interest and the Class UT-3 Interest as set out below. The
Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated
Lower-Tier Regular Interests, set out below. The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as

shall hold as assets the assets of the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the
Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate
Cap Agreement, (iii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the Excess Reserve
Fund Account and (v) the right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive Basis Risk
Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts
and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls). Each such Lower Tier Regular
Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. The
