         On November 13, 2002, a single series of certificates, entitled

equal to approximately $299,978,211.00 with funds on deposit in the pre-funding
account (the "Pre-Funding Account") established pursuant to the Agreement at a
purchase price equal to the principal balance thereof, which Subsequent Mortgage
Loans were conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to a Subsequent Transfer Instrument,
dated December 13, 2002, between the Depositor and the Trustee (the
"Instrument"). Attached to the Instrument is the Mortgage Loan Schedule listing
the Subsequent Mortgage Loans that are the subject of such Instrument.
