*It has been the Company's experience that, with respect to the first
Distribution Date after the closing of a securitization containing a large
number of recently originated or acquired Mortgage Loans, the number of Mortgage
Loans 30-59 days delinquent may be inflated due to the borrowers sending monthly
payments to the wrong location or delays by the Company in inputting the
Mortgage Loans on its servicing system. It has also been the Company's
experience that for the majority of such Mortgage Loans the routing of
borrowers' monthly payments has corrected itself by the second Distribution
Date. However, the Company makes no assurances as to the level of delinquent
Mortgage Loans for future Distribution Dates.
