                       Series 1996-5 Class A Certificates


                            ALL CERTIFICATES (cont.)
                            ------------------------

Overcollateralization:   The  credit  enhancement  provisions  of the  Trust are
                         intended to provide for the limited acceleration of the
                         Certificates   relative  to  the  amortization  of  the
                         related  collateral,  generally  in the early months of
                         the transaction.  Accelerated  amortization is achieved
                         by applying  certain excess  interest  collected on the
                         collateral   to  the  payment  of   principal   on  the
                         Certificates,    resulting   in   the   build   up   of
                         overcollateralization   ("O/C").  By  paying  down  the
                         principal  balance of the certificates  faster than the
                         principal  amortization  of the  respective  collateral
                         pool,  an  overcollateralization  amount  equal  to the
                         excess  of  the  aggregate  principal  balance  of  the
                         Collateral  Pool  over  the  principal  balance  of the
                         related  Certificates is created.  Excess cashflow will
                         be  directed  to build  the O/C  amount  until the pool
                         reaches its  required  O/C target.  Upon this event the
                         acceleration  feature  will  cease,  unless  it is once
                         again necessary to maintain the required O/C level.

Certificate Insurer:     MBIA
                         MBIA's  claims-paying  ability is rated  AAA/Aaa/AAA by
                         Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch.

Certificate Ratings:     The Class A Certificates  will be rated AAA by Standard
                         & Poor's, Aaa by Moody's Investors Service

Clean-up Calls:          The Residual  Holder has the option to excercise a call
                         when the outstanding  Certificate Balance equals 10% or
                         less  of  the   original   principal   balance  of  the
                         Certificates.  If  such  call  is  not  exercised,  the
                         Servicers will have the option to purchase the mortgage
                         loans  when the  outstanding  Certificate  Balance  has
                         declined  to  5%  of   original.   Each  call  will  be
                         excercised at par plus accrued interest.

ERISA                    Consideration:  The Class A Certificates  will be ERISA
                         eligible  following the  expiration  of the  Prefunding
                         Period.  However,  investors  should consult with their
                         counsel  with respect to the  consequences  under ERISA
                         and the Internal Revenue Code of the Plan's acquisition
                         and ownership of such Certificates.

SMMEA Considerations:    All Class A Certificates will be SMMEA eligible.

Taxation:                REMIC.

Prospectus:              The  Certificates  are  being  offered  pursuant  to  a
                         Prospectus  which  includes  a  Prospectus   Supplement
                         (together, the "Prospectus"). Complete information with
                         respect  to the  Certificates  and  the  Collateral  is
                         contained in the Prospectus. The foregoing is qualified
                         in its  entirety by the  information  appearing  in the
                         Prospectus.   To  the  extent  that  the  foregoing  is
                         inconsistent with the Prospectus,  the Prospectus shall
                         govern in all respects.  Sales of the  Certificates may
                         not be consumated unless the purchaser has received the
                         Prospectus.
