SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
THE MASTER SERVICER
Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("Countrywide") will continue to act as
Master Servicer under the Agreement.
At September 30, 1998, Countrywide provided servicing for approximately
$196.9 billion aggregate principal amount of mortgage loans, substantially all
of which are being serviced for unaffiliated persons. At September 30, 1998,
Countrywide provided servicing for approximately $1.3 billion aggregate
principal amount of first and second lien mortgage loans originated under home
equity lines of credit.
FORECLOSURE AND DELINQUENCY EXPERIENCE
The following table summarizes the delinquency and foreclosure
experience, respectively, on the dates indicated, of home equity loans serviced
by the Master Servicer. Since Countrywide only began servicing home equity loans
in October 1994, the delinquency and foreclosure percentages may be affected by
the size and relative lack of seasoning of the servicing portfolio because many
of such loans were not outstanding long enough to give rise to some or all of
the periods of delinquency indicated in the chart below. Accordingly, the
information should not be considered as a basis for assessing the likelihood,
amount or severity of delinquency or losses on the Mortgage Loans and no
assurances can be given that the foreclosure and delinquency experience
presented in the table below will be indicative of such experience on the
Mortgage Loans:

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Master Servicer has made and will continue to make investments to
identify, modify or replace any computer systems which are not year 2000
compliant and to address other related issues associated with the change of the
millennium. In the event that computer problems arise out of a failure of such
efforts to be completed on time, or in the event that the computer systems of
the Master Servicer or the Trustee are not fully year 2000 compliant, the
resulting disruptions in the collection or distribution of receipts on the
Mortgage Loans could materially and adversely affect the holders of the
Certificates.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES
The Certificates will be allocated and entitled to receive interest and

REPORTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
The most recent monthly statement that has been furnished to
Certificateholders of record on the most recent Distribution Date is included
herein as Exhibit 2.
THE CERTIFICATE INSURER
Effective February 17, 1998, MBIA Inc., a New York Stock Exchange
listed company (the "Company"), acquired all of the outstanding stock of Capital
Markets Assurance Corporation ("CapMAC") through a merger with its parent CapMAC
Holdings Inc. Pursuant to a reinsurance agreement, CapMAC has ceded all of its
net insured risks (including any amounts due but unpaid from third party
reinsurers), as well as its unearned premiums and contingency reserves, to MBIA
Insurance Corporation, a New York Stock company ("MBIA"). MBIA is the principal
operating subsidiary of the Company. The Company is not obligated to pay the
debts of or claims against MBIA.
MBIA files annual, quarterly and special reports and other information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These documents may be
reviewed at the SEC's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., New York, New
York and Chicago, Illinois. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further
information on the public reference rooms. MBIA's SEC filings are also available
to the public at the SEC's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Prospective investors should consider carefully the income tax
consequences of an investment in the Certificates discussed under the sections
titled "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the Prospectus Supplement and the
Prospectus, which the following discussion supplements. Prospective investors
should consult their tax advisors with respect to those consequences.
On December 30, 1997 the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") issued
final regulations (the "Amortizable Bond Premium Regulations") dealing with
amortizable bond premium. These regulations specifically do not apply to
prepayable debt instruments subject to Section 1272(a)(6). Absent further
guidance from the IRS, the Trustee intends to account for amortizable bond
premium in the manner described in the Prospectus. It is recommended that
prospective purchasers of the Certificates consult their tax advisors regarding
the possible application of the Amortizable Bond Premium Regulations.
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and the IRS Restructuring and Reform
Act of 1998 reduced the capital gains tax rates for certain noncorporate
taxpayers. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors with respect
to these tax law changes.
<PAGE>
The Small Business and Job Protection Act of 1996 and Taxpayer Relief
Act of 1997 modified the definition of U.S. person with regard to trusts. A
trust is a "U.S. Person" if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United
States persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
In addition, U.S. Persons include certain trusts that can elect to be treated as
U.S. Persons.
Final regulations dealing with backup withholding and information
reporting on income paid to foreign persons and related matters (the "New
Withholding Regulations") were published in the Federal Register on October 14,
1997. In general, the New Withholding Regulations do not significantly alter the
substantive withholding and information reporting requirements, but do unify
current certification procedures and forms and clarify reliance standards. The
New Withholding Regulations generally will be effective for payments made after
December 31, 1999, subject to certain transition rules.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
Prospective purchasers of the Certificates should consider carefully
the ERISA consequences of an investment in the Certificates discussed under
"ERISA Considerations" in the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and herein,
and should consult their own advisors with respect to those consequences. As
described in the Prospectus Supplement and subject to the qualifications and
limitations set forth therein, it is believed that the Exemption will apply to
the acquisition and holding of the Certificates by Plans and that all conditions
of the Exemption other than those within the control of investors will be met.
RATINGS
The Certificates are currently rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's and
"Aaa" by Moody's. See "Ratings" in the Prospectus Supplement.
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION
The Supplement is to be used by Countrywide Securities Corporation, an
affiliate of CWABS, Inc. and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., in connection with
offers and sales relating to market making transactions in the Certificates in
which Countrywide Securities Corporation acts as principal. Countrywide
Securities Corporation may also act as agent in such transactions. Sales will be
made at prices relating to the prevailing prices at the time of sale.
