Legal Proceedings Regarding Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC

In addition to the matters described below, in the normal course of
business, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC ("the Company") has
been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions.
Certain of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for
substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate
amounts of damages.

Regulatory and Governmental Investigations: The Company and its affiliates
are currently responding to subpoenas and requests for information from
certain regulatory and governmental entities concerning the origination,
purchase, securitization and/or servicing of subprime and non-subprime
residential mortgages and related issues.

Civil Litigation re American Business Financial Services, Inc. The Company
has been named as one of a number of defendants in a matter styled Miller v.
Santilli, et al., which is pending in the Court of Common Pleas for
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The complaint in this action was filed on
July 13, 2006 and is being brought by the bankruptcy trustee for American
Business Financial Services, Inc. ("ABFS"). The complaint alleges, inter
alia, that the Company, certain of the Company's affiliates, and various
other financial institutions deepened the insolvency of ABFS, and aided and
abetted fraud and breaches of fiduciary duties committed by certain former
officers and directors of ABFS, by providing warehouse loans to ABFS and
participating in securitization transactions with ABFS. The complaint seeks
damages in excess of $750 million. The deepening insolvency claim has been
dismissed, and the case is currently in discovery.

Bauer, et al., v. Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., et al. is a matter filed on
December 1, 2004 in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans,
State of Louisiana, Case No. 2004-17015. On February 17, 2005, the
plaintiffs re-filed the case as two separate class action lawsuits, Bauer,
et al., v. Dean Morris, et al., filed as Case No. 05-2173 in the Civil
District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, and Patterson,
et al., v. Dean Morris, et al., filed as Case No. 05-2174 in the Civil
District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. On January 24,
2006, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana
granted the Company's motion to compel arbitration in Bauer, et al., v. Dean
Morris, et al. On January 25, 2006, the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana granted the Saxon Mortgage Services' motion to
compel arbitration in Patterson, et al., v. Dean Morris, et al. At the
present time, neither plaintiff has initiated arbitration.

Jumar Hooks and Diane Felder, et al., v. Saxon Mortgage, Inc. is a matter
filed on October 12, 2005 in the Common Pleas Court for Cuyahoga County,
Ohio as Case No. CV 05 574577. The plaintiffs filed this case as a class
action, on behalf of themselves and similarly situated Ohio borrowers,
alleging that the Company's subsidiary, Saxon Mortgage, Inc. ("Saxon
Mortgage") engaged in unlawful practices in originating and servicing the
plaintiffs' loans. During the second quarter of 2006, the court granted the
Saxon Mortgage's motion to compel individual arbitration as to each of the
two named plaintiffs and stayed the court proceedings with no class having
been certified.

Jones, et al., v. ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, et al. is a matter filed on
September 24, 2007 in the Court of Common Pleas for Berks County,
Pennsylvania as Civil Action-Law No. 07-10540. The plaintiffs allege that
the putative class members were not credited properly for payments made on
their mortgage loans which were allegedly collected by non-affiliated
intermediary entities and forwarded to the servicer defendants. Saxon
Mortgage Services services two loans for putative class members. Saxon
Mortgage Services and other defendants filed a consolidated motion to
dismiss the case.



Legal Proceedings Regarding Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc.

Because Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. (the "Company") and its affiliates
are subject to many laws and regulations, including but not limited to
federal and state consumer protection laws, it is regularly involved in
numerous lawsuits filed against it, some of which seek certification as
class action lawsuits on behalf of similarly situated individuals.

The Company and/or its affiliates are also involved, from time to time, in
other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by
governmental agencies regarding the Company's and/or its affiliates
businesses, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements,
fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief.

The Company contests liability and/or the amount of damages as appropriate
in each pending matter. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the
outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek
substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings
are in the early stages, the Company cannot predict with certainty the loss
or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters
will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the
eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be.
Subject to the foregoing, the following matters are potentially material to
the financial condition of the Company.

Regulatory and Governmental Investigations: The Company and its affiliates
are currently responding to subpoenas and requests for information from
certain regulatory and governmental entities concerning the origination,
purchase, and/or servicing of subprime and non-subprime residential
mortgages and related issues.

Bauer, et al., v. Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc., et al. is a matter filed on
December 1, 2004 in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans,
State of Louisiana, Case No. 2004-17015. On January 26, 2005, the plaintiffs
filed a motion to dismiss the case without prejudice, and the court entered
an order dismissing the case on January 31, 2005. On February 17, 2005, the
plaintiffs re-filed the case as two separate class action lawsuits, Bauer,
et al., v. Dean Morris, et al., filed as Case No. 05-2173 in the Civil
District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, and Patterson,
et al., v. Dean Morris, et al., filed as Case No. 05-2174 in the Civil
District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. On January 24,
2006, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana
granted the Company's motion to compel arbitration and stayed the court
proceedings as to named plaintiffs Keenan and Karen Duckworth in Bauer, et
al., v. Dean Morris, et al., filed as Case No. 05-2173 in the Civil District
Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. On January 25, 2006,
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana
granted the Saxon Mortgage Services's motion to compel arbitration and
stayed the court proceedings as to named plaintiff Debra Herron in
Patterson, et al., v. Dean Morris, et al., filed as Case No. 05-2174 in the
Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. The
court subsequently remanded the underlying court proceedings in both the
Bauer and Patterson cases to the Civil District Court for the Parish of
Orleans, State of Louisiana. At the present time, neither plaintiff has
initiated arbitration.

Jones, et al., v. ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, et al. is a matter filed on
September 24, 2007 in the Court of Common Pleas for Berks County,
Pennsylvania as Civil Action-Law No. 07-10540. The matter was subsequently
removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania as Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-04328-JG. The plaintiffs filed an
Amended Complaint on October 9, 2007 naming the Company as a defendant. The
plaintiffs allege that the putative class members were not credited properly
for payments made on their mortgage loans which were allegedly collected by
non-affiliated intermediary entities and forwarded to the servicer
defendants. The Company services two loans for putative class members. The
plaintiffs subsequently voluntarily dismissed all named plaintiffs except
for the Jones's. Saxon Mortgage Services and other defendants filed a
consolidated motion to dismiss the case.

Jumar Hooks and Diane Felder, et al., v. Saxon Mortgage, Inc. is a matter
filed on October 12, 2005 in the Common Pleas Court for Cuyahoga County,
Ohio as Case No. CV 05 574577. The plaintiffs filed this case as a class
action, on behalf of themselves and similarly situated Ohio borrowers,
alleging that the Company's affiliate, Saxon Mortgage, Inc. ("Saxon
Mortgage") engaged in unlawful practices in originating and servicing the
plaintiffs' loans. During the second quarter of 2006, the court granted the
Saxon Mortgage's motion to compel individual arbitration as to each of the
two named plaintiffs and stayed the court proceedings with no class having
been certified.
