thereunder.
6. Recognition of Assignee and Assigns. From and after the date
hereof, the Company shall recognize the Assignee as the owner of the Mortgage
Loans, having the status and rights of "Purchaser" under the Sale Agreement. The
Company acknowledges that, in order to effect a securitization of the Mortgage
Loans, the Assignee intends to transfer the Mortgage Loans to a trust fund (the
"Trust Fund"). From and after the date of any such transfer, the Company shall
recognize the Trust Fund as the owner of the Mortgage Loans, having the status

of this Assignment and of the Sale Agreement, having the right to enforce
directly against the Company the provisions hereof and thereof.

herein, all terms and provisions of the Sale Agreement are hereby ratified,
affirmed and remain in full force and effect unmodified hereby.

shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.
9. Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed simultaneously
in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an

11. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by

12. Survival. This Assignment shall survive the conveyance of the
Mortgage Loans and the assignment of the Sale Agreement by (a) the Assignor to
the Assignee and (b) by the Assignee to the Trust Fund as contemplated in
Section 6 above.
13. Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties
that the Assignee is purchasing, and the Assignor is selling, the Mortgage Loans
and not a debt instrument of the Assignor or another security. Accordingly, the
parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction for federal income tax
purposes as a sale by the Assignor, and a purchase by the Assignee, of the
Mortgage Loans.
It is not the intention of the parties that such conveyances be
deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent
of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Assignor or if
for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security
interest in either such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State of New York and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Assignor to the Assignee of a
security interest in all of the assets transferred, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired.
