MANAGEMENT'S ASSERTION

As of and for the year ended November 30, 2004, EMC Mortgage Corporation (the "Company")
(a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bear Stearns Companies, Inc.), has complied, in all material
respects, with the Company's established minimum servicing standards, except as discussed
below, for residential mortgage loans as set forth in Appendix A (the "Standards"). The Standards
are based on the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers.

During the year ended November 30, 2004, the Company determined it was materially
noncompliant with regards to resolving reconciling items within ninety (90) calendar days of their
original identification as specified by its established minimum servicing standards. Twenty three
reconciling items in three of the twenty custodial bank account reconciliations selected for testing
during the accountants' examination were resolved after 90 calendar days from their original
identification.

As of and for this same period, the Company had in effect a fidelity bond in the amount of
$100,000,000 and $210,000,000 for the periods from December 1, 2003 to September 29, 2004
and from September 30, 2004 to November 30, 2004, respectively, and an errors and omissions
policy in the amount of $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 for the periods from December 1, 2003 to
January 31, 2004 and from February 1, 2004 to November 30, 2004, respectively.
