                        available funds cap and feature an interest shortfall
                        reimbursement, in which any interest shortfall due to
                        movements in one-month LIBOR will be carried forward,
                        with accrued interest at the coupon rate, and paid from
                        excess cash flow in a later period. The Class A-1
                        Certificates are also subject to a hard cap of [14%]. 
                        Class A-2 and A-3 are fixed-rate certificates backed by
                        fixed-rate home equity mortgage loans ("Loan Group 2").

                         of the loans are less than 10% of Cutoff Date Pool
                         Principal Balance (which includes both Loan Group 1
                         and Loan Group 2).

Form of Certificates:    Book entry form, same day funds (through DTC, CEDEL
                         or Euroclear).

Master Servicer:         Countrywide Home Loans, Inc.

Servicing Fee:           50 basis points per annum.

Trustee:                 The Bank of New York.

Payment Date:            The 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a
                         business day, the next succeeding business day,
                         beginning on December 26, 1996.

Payment Delay:           24 days for Certificate Classes A-2 and A-3. There
                         will be no delay for Certificate Class A-1.

Interest Accrual
Period:                  For Certificate Class A-1, interest will accrue from
                         the 25th date of the preceeding month until the 24th
                         day of the current month based on an actual/360 day
                         count. The Class A-1 Certificates will accrue interest
                         from the settlement date [November   , 1996]. Interest
                         will accrue from the 1st day of the preceeding month
                         until the 30th day of the preceeding month for
                         Certificate Classes A-2 and A-3.

Certificate Ratings:     The Certificates will be rated AAA/Aaa by Standard &
                         Poor's and Moody's, respectively.  These ratings will
                         not address the interest shortfall reimbursement.

Certificate Insurer:     Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation
                         ("MBIA").  MBIA's claims-paying ability is rated
                         AAA/Aaa by Standard and Poor's and Moody's.

Certificate Insurance:   Timely interest and eventual principal payments on the
                         Certificates will be 100% guaranteed by MBIA.  The
                         insurance policy does not include the interest
                         shortfall reimbursement for the Class A-1
                         Certificates.

ERISA
Considerations:          All of the Certificates will be ERISA eligible.
                         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.

Taxation:                REMIC.

Legal Investment:        The Certificates will not be SMMEA eligible.

Credit Enhancement:      1) 100% wrap from MBIA guarantees timely payment of
                            interest and eventual principal (excluding interest
                            shortfall reimbursement).
                         2) Overcollateralization.
                         3) Cross-Collateralization.
                         4) Ongoing spread.

Overcollateralization:   The subordination provisions of the Trust are intended
                         to provide for limited acceleration of the
                         Certificates relative to the amortization of the
                         related collateral, generally in the early months of
                         the transaction.  The accelerated amortization is
                         achieved by applying certain excess interest collected
                         on the collateral to the payment of principal on the
                         Certificates.  This acceleration feature is intended
                         to create, with respect to each Collateral Pool, an
                         amount ("Overcollateralization") resulting from, and
                         equal to, the excess of the aggregate principal
                         balances of the Collateral Pool over the principal
                         balance of the related Certificates.  Once the
                         required Overcollateralization level is reached, the
                         acceleration feature will cease, unless necessary to
                         maintain the required level of Overcollateralization.

                         CERTIFICATE CLASS A-1 (supported by adjustable-rate
                         home equity mortgage loans): Excess spread will be
                         used to build the Spread Amount to an initial target
                         of [TBD]% of the original principal balance.  After
                         30 months, the Spread Amount requirement will be
                         changed to the lesser of [TBD]% of original principal
			 balance or [TBD]% of current principal balance,
                         subject to a floor of [TBD]% of original principal
