the "Trust Agreement").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of the Depositor has duly authorized
the formation of a trust (the "Trust") to issue a series of asset backed
certificates with an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance of
$460,000,100 to be known as the Saxon Asset Securities Trust 2000-4, Mortgage
Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2000-4 (the "Certificates"). The
Certificates in the aggregate evidence the entire beneficial ownership in the
Trust. The Certificates consist of the following: the Class AF-1, Class AF-2,
Class AF-3, Class AF-4, Class AF-5, Class AF-6, Class MF-1, Class MF-2, Class
BF-1, Class AV-1, Class MV-1, Class MV-2, Class BV-1, Class A-IO, Class PF-1,
Class PV-1, Class C and Class R Certificates.
In accordance with Section 10.01 of the Standard Terms, the Trustee
will make elections to treat each of the segregated pools of assets described
below as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (each a "REMIC" or, in the
alternative, the POOLING REMIC, the SECOND-TIER REMIC, and the ISSUING REMIC).
The Certificates, other than the Class R Certificates, represent ownership of
the regular interests in the ISSUING REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The Class R Certificates represents ownership of the sole class of residual
interest in each of the POOLING REMIC, the SECOND-TIER REMIC, and the ISSUING
REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The ISSUING REMIC shall hold as its
assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in the
SECOND-TIER REMIC, other than the Class LT2-R Interest, and each such Lower Tier
Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in the SECOND-TIER REMIC for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The SECOND-TIER REMIC shall hold as its assets
the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in the POOLING REMIC,
other than the Class LT1-R Interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby
designated as a regular interest in the POOLING REMIC. The POOLING REMIC shall
hold as its assets the property of the Trust Estate other than the Lower Tier
Interests in the POOLING REMIC and the SECOND-TIER REMIC, the Prefunding
Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, the Cap Agreement and the Group II
Reserve Fund. The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each
REMIC created hereby is the Distribution Date in January 2033.

SECTION 2.04. GROUP II RESERVE FUND
(a) The depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trust, the Cap Agreement and authorizes the Trustee to
perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the
terms of the Cap Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall enter into
the Cap Agreement, on behalf of the Trust, with the Cap Provider and establish
and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Group
II Certificates, the Group II Reserve Fund. The Group II Reserve Fund shall be
an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including
without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
The Group II Reserve Fund shall be treated as an "outside reserve fund" under
applicable Treasury regulations and will not be part of any REMIC created
hereunder. For tax purposes, any investment earnings on the Group II Reserve
Fund will be treated as owned by the Master Servicer and will be taxable to the
Master Servicer. For tax purposes, distributions made to any outside reserve
fund under this document shall be treated as made to the owner of such fund.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Group II Reserve Fund shall be
invested in Permitted Investments. Any earnings on such amounts shall be for the
benefit of the Group II Certificateholders, and shall remain on deposit in the
Group II Reserve Fund for distribution pursuant to Section 3.03(i). The Master
Servicer shall be deemed the owner of the Group II Reserve Fund for federal tax
purposes only and shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of
amounts on deposit therein.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the
Group II Reserve Fund from amounts received in respect of the Cap Agreement an
amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of LIBOR over 6.97%, (ii)
the lesser of (A) the Scheduled Notional Amount and (B) the aggregate
certificate principal balance of the Group II Certificates and (iii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed from the previous
Distribution Date to but excluding the current Distribution Date (or, for the
first Distribution Date, the actual number of days elapsed from the Closing Date
to but excluding the first Distribution Date), and the denominator of which is
360. One each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute any amounts
received on such Distribution Date in respect of the Cap Agreement in excess of
the amount described in the immediately preceding sentence directly to the
Master Servicer.
49
(d) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute amounts
on deposit in the Group II Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 3.03(i) of
this Agreement.
(e) On the Group II Reserve Fund Release Date, the Trustee shall
distribute amounts remaining on deposit in the Group II Reserve Fund to the
Master Servicer.
(f) Each holder of the Group II Certificates, by its acceptance of
the related Group II Certificate, acknowledges and agrees that it has no present
interest in the Group II Reserve Fund and the amounts on deposit or to be
deposited therein, but shall have only a contingent interest in related amounts
distributable on the Group II Certificates as provided in this Agreement. The
Depositor, the Seller and each Residual Certificateholder, by its acceptance of
the Class R Certificate, acknowledges and agrees that it has no interest in the
Group II Reserve Fund and the amounts on deposit or to be deposited therein.

Trustee with notice acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Servicer is
entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Servicer shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided
in Section 3.06(b). Such notice from the Advancing Servicer must specify the
amount of the reimbursement and must specify which Section of this Agreement
permits the Advance to be reimbursed. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
without independent investigation on the Advancing Servicer's statement with
respect to the amount of any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 3.06 and
with respect to the Advancing Servicer's statement with respect to the Section
of this Agreement permits the Advance to be reimbursed. An Advancing Servicer
whose obligations are limited to the making will not be deemed to be a
Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Servicer
shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.01(c) of the
Standard Terms prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the
Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee
made pursuant to Section 3.02(a) of the Standard Terms. The Trustee is hereby
authorized to pay to the Advancing Servicer, reimbursements for Advances from
the Asset Proceeds Account to the same extent (except as provided below) the
Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances in
accordance with Section 3.01(c) of the Standard Terms had the Servicer itself
58
funded such Advance. An Advancing Servicer is NOT entitled to be reimbursed by
the Trustee from the Asset Proceeds Account for any reimbursed Advances from
funds held in the Asset Proceeds Account for future distribution pursuant to
Section 3.04 of the Standard Terms. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay
directly to the Advancing Servicer such portion of the Servicing Fee as the
parties to any advancing facility agree.
(c) All Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first-in-first out" (FIFO)
basis; except to the extent that the Trustee is acting as Successor Servicer its
Advances shall be reimbursed first.
