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

binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns
of the parties hereto.

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.
