     Although   the   Registrant  provided   the  Underwriter   with  certain

Notes
- -----
1.   All  class   sizes  and   ratings   are  subject   to  Rating   Agency
     confirmation.  The Class  A-1 Notes will be the  "Variable Rate Notes"
     based on  One Month LIBOR plus the Class A-1 pass-through margin.  The
     pass-through rate on the Variable Rate Notes will be subject  to a cap
     of  12.00%.   The  Class  A-2  through A-4,  M-1,  M-2  Notes and  the
     Certificates  will  be  the  "Fixed   Rate  Notes"  and   "Fixed  Rate
     Certificates", respectively.  See "Federal Tax Status" below.
2.   Based on 100%  Prepayment Assumption.  100% Prepayment Assumption:  3%
     CPR in month 1,  and an additional 1.00% CPR  in each month thereafter
     until month 12;  on and thereafter, 14% CPR.  The Class A-1 through A-
     3 Notes  are unaffected by the optional clean-up call.    The Class A-
     4, M-1  and  M-2 Notes  and  the Certificates  will be  priced to  the
     option  clean-up  call.    If  the  optional  clean-up   call  is  not
     exercised, the pass through rates on  the Class A-4, M-1 and M-2 Notes
     and the Certificates will increase by 50 basis points.

                           The  interest   accrual  period  for  the  first
                           Distribution Date  with respect to the  Variable

                           (actual/360).

Distribution Dates:        25th day of each month  (or the next  succeeding
                           business day), commencing July, 1997.

ERISA Eligibility:         The  Class A and  Class M  Notes are expected to
                           be ERISA eligible.   Prospective investors  must
                           review the Prospectus and  Prospectus Supplement
                           and  consult with  their  professional  advisors
                           for   a  more   detailed  description  of  these
                           matters  prior  to  investing  in  the  Class  A
                           and/or  Class M  Notes.   The Certificates  WILL
                           NOT be ERISA eligible.

Federal Tax Status:        It  is  anticipated  that   the  Notes  will  be
                           treated  as debt  instruments for Federal income
                           tax  purposes.     Each  Certificateholder,   by
                           acceptance  of  a  Certificate,  will  agree  to
                           treat the  Trust as a  partnership in  which the
                           Certificateholders  are  partners  for   Federal
                           income tax purposes.

SMMEA Treatment:           The Notes and  Certificates WILL  NOT constitute
                           "mortgage  related securities"  for purposes  of
                           SMMEA.

Optional Termination:      10%   optional   clean-up   call    (outstanding
                           collateral  principal balance  is less  than 10%
                           of the original collateral principal balance).

Credit Enhancement:        Credit enhancement  for the  Class A Notes  will
                           consist   of    (i)   excess   cashflow,    (ii)
                           subordination  of the  Class M-1  and Class  M-2
                           Notes and the Certificates  (initially (28.25%))
                           and  (iii)  overcollateralization (as  described
                           below).

                           Credit enhancement for the Class M-1  Notes will
                           consist   of    (i)   excess   cashflow,    (ii)
                           subordination  of the  Class M-2  Notes and  the
                           Certificates  (initially  (12.75%))  and   (iii)
                           overcollateralization (as described below).

                           Credit  enhancement for the Class M-2 Notes will
                           consist   of    (i)   excess   cashflow,    (ii)
                           subordination  of  the  Certificates  (initially
                           (5.50%))  and  (iii)  overcollateralization  (as
                           described below).

                           Credit  enhancement for  the  Certificates  will
                           consist   of    (i)   excess   cashflow,    (ii)
                           overcollateralization (as described below).

Overcollateralization:     The  Notes   and  Certificates  will   represent
                           approximately  100%  of   the  sum  of  (i)  the
                           aggregate  principal balance of  the Loans as of
                           the Cut-off  Date (the "Original Pool  Principal
                           Balance").   On each Distribution  Date prior to
                           the   Stepdown  Date   (defined  below)   excess
                           interest  will be  paid  as principal  until the
                           O/C  reaches the  greater of  (i) (8.0%)  of the
                           Original Pool  Principal  Balance  and (ii)  the
                           Net    Delinquency   Calculation    Amount   (as
                           described  below).   On and  after  the Stepdown
                           Date, O/C needs  to be maintained at the greater
                           of (i)  (16%) of  the current principal  balance
                           of  the  loans  and  (ii)  the  Net  Delinquency
                           Calculation  Amount (the  O/C  is subject  to  a
                           floor of (0.50%)  of the Original Pool Principal
                           Balance).

Stepdown Date:             The  first  Distribution  Date  occurring  after
                           June  2000 as  to which  the credit  enhancement
                           for  the  Class  A  Notes  reaches its  targeted
                           level.

Net Delinquency
  Calculation Amount:      The Net Delinquency Calculation Amount  is equal
                           to the  difference between  (A) (2.5) times  the
                           average  of  60+   day  delinquencies   for  the
                           previous six months and (b) excess  cashflow for
                           the previous three Distribution Dates.

Priority of 
  Distributions:           Available  funds will  be distributed  first, to
                           interest  on  the  Notes  and  Certificates  and
                           second,   as   principal  of   the   Notes   and
                           Certificates   in   the   following   order   of
                           priority:

     Interest
     --------
     1.             Class  A Notes,  current interest  and unpaid  interest
                    shortfalls
     2.             Class M-1 Notes,  current interest and unpaid  interest
                    shortfalls
     3.             Class  M-2 Notes, current  interest and unpaid interest
                    shortfalls
     4.             Certificates,  current  interest  and  unpaid  interest
                    shortfalls
     5.             Excess interest will be paid  as principal, subject  to
                    the O/C  target, based on  the principal  payment rules
                    described below.
