Option One Mortgage Corporation as master servicer and Wells Fargo Bank

certificates (collectively, the "Certificates"), designated as the "Class A
Certificates," the "Class S Certificates," the "Class P Certificates," the
"Class BIO Certificates," the "Class X Certificates" and the "Class R

greater than 30 years (the "Mortgage Loans"). The Mortgage Pool consists of
Mortgage Loans having an aggregate principal balance of $237,001,865 as of
October 1, 2000 (the "Cut-off Date"). The Mortgage Loans were purchased pursuant
to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated October 1, 2000, between the
Depositor and UBS Principal Finance LLC. The Class A Certificates (the
"Underwritten Certificates") were sold by the Depositor to Greenwich Capital
Markets, Inc. (the "Underwriter"), an affiliate of the Depositor, pursuant to an
Underwriting Agreement, dated October 27, 2000, between the Depositor and the
Underwriter.
The Underwritten Certificates, and the Mortgage Loans are more
particularly described in the Prospectus Supplement, dated October 27, 2000, and

and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). The Class S Certificates, the
