                                   then,  as an incentive to exercise the call,
                                   (i)  the  Class  A-4  and  A-5   pass-through

Note:  (1)  Prepayment  scenarios are quoted as a percentage  of the  prepayment
assumption "PPC" (a 100% PPC prepayment  assumption has prepayments  starting at
3.0% CPR in month 1, increasing by approximately 1.545% CPR per month to 20% CPR
in month 12, and remaining at 20% CPR thereafter), with regard to the fixed rate
group. The fixed rate group assumes 100% PPC.

of   the    prepayment assumption   "PPC" (a  100% PPC prepayment assumption
has prepayments starting at 3.0% CPR in  month 1, increasing by  approximately
1.545% CPR per month to 20% CPR in month  12, and remaining at 20% CPR
thereafter), with   regard  to  the  fixed   rate group.  The fixed rate group
