     Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.
     Litigation concerning Option One Mortgage Corporation

     In July 2004, Option One Mortgage Corporation was named as defendant and
     served with a class action complaint filed by Larry and Brandi Freitag,
     as plaintiffs, in the Third Judicial Circuit Court in Madison County,
     Illinois.  The complaint alleges breach of contract, or in the
     alternative unjust enrichment, and violation of the Illinois Consumer
     Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Specifically, the plaintiffs
     allege that Option One Mortgage Corporation improperly retained an extra
     day of per diem interest on residential mortgage loans by charging per
     diem interest up to and including the date of payoff. The class is defined
     as all persons in the United States who paid interest on or after the day
     of payoff and who did not receive a refund from Option One Mortgage
     Corporation of the interest charged on or after the day of payoff.  This
     action is one of several actions filed earlier against other lenders
     by the same attorneys on a similar basis in the same court. In one such
     action, the court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the
     plaintiff's claims of defendant's violation of the Illinois Consumer
     Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Plaintiffs have agreed to
     settle their individual claims; plaintiffs' counsel has a motion pending
     to continue prosecution of the class action.  Plaintiff's counsel filed
     a motion to substitute Larry and Pamela Smith as plaintiffs, which was
     granted.  Option One Mortgage Corporation filed a motion to compel
     arbitration.  In a similar action before the same judge in the Third
     Judicial Circuit Court in Madison County, Illinois, the Court ruled in
     favor of the defendants on the underlying per diem interest claim.

     On January 31, 2006, the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois County
     Department, Chancery Division, certified a nationwide class action against
     Option One Mortgage Corporation on a complaint brought by Erin and Earl
     Austria, in which the Austria' allege that Option One impermissibly
     assessed them a reconveyance fee and authorized the assessment of a
     title indemnity fee on certain mortgage loans that have been paid-in-full.
     The Court has granted Option One's motion for an interlocutory appeal
     of the order of class certification.
