Class A certificates..................................        %          $
</TABLE>

   The Class I certificates will be issued with an original notional principal
amount of $    . See "The Offered Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

Distribution Date

   The trust will distribute interest and principal on the offered certificates
on the fifteenth calendar day of each month or, if such day is not a business
day, on the next business day. The distributions will begin on       ,    and
will be made to holders of record of the offered certificates as of the record
date, which will be the last day of the collection period related to the
distribution date. The collection period with respect to any distribution date
is the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such
distribution date occurs. See "The Offered Certificates--Distributions on the
Offered Certificates" in this prospectus supplement and "Description of the
Certificates--Definitive Certificates" in the accompanying prospectus.

                                      S-5
<PAGE>

Interest on the Class A Certificates

   Interest on the Class A certificates will be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. See "Yield and Prepayment
Considerations" and "The Offered Certificates--Distributions on the Offered
Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

   Generally, the amount of monthly interest distributable to the Class A
certificateholders on each distribution date is the product of:

     (1) one-twelfth of  %; and

     (2) the aggregate outstanding certificate balance of the Class A
  certificates on the preceding distribution date (after giving effect to all
  distributions to certificateholders on such date) or, in the case of the
  first distribution date, from the closing date.

   See "The Certificates--Distributions on the Certificates" in this prospectus
supplement.

Distributions of Principal

   The trust will distribute principal on each distribution date to the Class A
certificateholders of record as of the record date. Generally, the amount of
monthly principal the trust will pay is equal to the decrease in the
outstanding principal balance of the receivables pool during the preceding
calendar month. See "The Offered Certificates--Distributions on the Offered
Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

   The trust must distribute an amount equal to the outstanding certificate
balance of the Class A certificates, to the extent not previously distributed,
by the final scheduled distribution date.

   Since the rate of distribution of principal on the Class A certificates
depends upon the rate of payment of principal on the receivables (including
voluntary prepayments and principal in respect of defaulted receivables and
purchased receivable), the final distribution in respect of the Class A
certificates could occur significantly earlier than the final scheduled payment
date. See "Risk Factors--You May Incur a Loss if there is a Default Under the
Policy" and "The Offered Certificates-- Distributions on the Offered
Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

The Class I Certificates

   The Class I certificates are interest only certificates which will not
receive any principal distributions. The pass-through rate for the Class I
certificates is  % per annum. Interest on the Class I certificates will accrue
on the notional principal amount of the Class I certificates at the Class I
pass-through rate. The notional principal amount represents a designated
notional principal component of the receivables. The notional principal amount
is $   as of the closing date and shall be reduced on each distribution date as
described below.

   Interest on the Class I certificates will be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Generally, the amount of
interest distributable to Class I certificateholders on each distribution date
is the product of one-twelfth of the Class I pass-through rate and the notional
principal amount as of the preceding distribution date or, in the case of the
first distribution date, the closing date (after giving effect to any reduction
of the notional principal amount on such distribution date). Such amount will
also be determined by assuming that the month of the closing date has 30 days.
Class I certificateholders will not be entitled to any distributions after the
notional principal amount has been reduced to zero.

Class I Notional Principal Amount

   The Class I certificates are interest only certificates based upon a planned
amortization of the notional principal amount of the Class I certificates. We
intend this amortization feature to reduce the uncertainty to Class I
certificateholders caused by prepayments on the receivables. We base the
reduction in the notional principal amount on an expected principal paydown
schedule rather than on the reduction in the actual principal balances of the
receivables. We expect the interest payments on the Class I certificates to
come from the excess of interest earned on the receivables over distributions
of monthly interest on the Class A certificates and the payment of the monthly
servicing fee. We divided the aggregate Class A certificate balance into two
notional principal components, the "PAC Component" and the "Companion
Component," for purposes of calculating the notional principal amount. The sum
of the PAC Component and the Companion Component at any time will equal the
then aggregate unpaid Class A certificate balance at

                                      S-6
<PAGE>

such time. The notional principal amount of the Class I certificates will equal
the principal balance of the PAC Component at all times as such amount is
calculated using the allocations of principal payments described below.

   The pooling and servicing agreement establishes the planned schedule for the
amortization of the notional principal amount (the "Planned Notional Principal
Amount Schedule") and we provide this schedule to you in this prospectus
supplement under "The Offered Certificates--The Class I Certificates--
Calculation of Notional Principal Amount."

   On each distribution date, the amount of monthly principal allocated to
Class A certificateholders will determine the reduction in the notional
principal amount as follows:

     (1) to the PAC Component, in an amount up to the amount necessary to
  reduce this amount to the amount specified in the Planned Notional
  Principal Amount Schedule for such distribution date;

     (2) to the Companion Component, until the outstanding principal amount
  is reduced to zero; and

     (3) to the PAC Component, without regard to the planned notional
  principal amount.

   The notional principal amount of the Class I certificates will be the same
amount as the outstanding amount of the PAC Component and will decline as the
PAC Component declines.

   The Planned Notional Principal Amount Schedule is based on the assumption
that the receivables prepay at a constant prepayment rate between  % and  % ABS
(which is an assumed constant rate of prepayments used in the ABS prepayment
model set forth in this prospectus supplement). The yield to maturity of the
Class I certificates will be sensitive to the rate and timing of principal
payments (including prepayments) on the receivables and may fluctuate
significantly during the actual term of the Class I certificates. If the
receivables prepay at a constant rate within the range of  % to  % ABS, the PAC
Component (and the notional principal amount of the Class I certificates) will
decline according to the Planned Notional Principal Amount Schedule. If the
receivables prepay at a constant rate higher than  % ABS, the yield on the
Class I certificates will be reduced because (1) the amount of the Companion
Component will be reduced to zero more quickly than scheduled, and (2) the
amount of the PAC Component (and the notional principal amount) will decline
more quickly than provided in the Planned Notional Principal Amount Schedule. A
rapid rate of principal prepayments (including liquidations due to losses,
repurchases and other dispositions) will have a material negative effect on the
yield to maturity of the Class I Certificates.

   The Planned Notional Principal Amount Schedule has been prepared on the
basis of certain assumptions, which are described in this prospectus supplement
under "The Offered Certificates--Class I Yield Considerations." You should
fully consider the risks associated with owning Class I certificates, including
the risk that a rapid rate of prepayments could prevent you from recovering
your initial investment in the Class I certificates. See "Risk Factors--
Prepayments May Reduce the Yield on the Class I Certificates" and "Yield and
Prepayment Considerations--The Class I Certificates" in this prospectus
supplement.

The Class IC Certificate

   In addition to the Class A and Class I certificates, the trust will issue a
Class IC certificate pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement. The Class
IC certificate will be retained by the depositor. We are not offering this
certificate for sale in this offering.

The Trust Assets

   The trust assets will include:

  .  a pool of simple and precomputed interest installment sale and
     installment loan contracts originated in various states in the United
     States of America, secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty
     trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, sport utility vehicles and
     vans;

  .  certain monies (including accrued interest) due in respect of the
     receivables after     ,   , but excluding accrued interest paid before
     the closing date;


                                      S-7
<PAGE>

  .  security interests in the related vehicles financed through the
     receivables;

  .  funds on deposit in a certificate account;

  .  any proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies relating to the
     financed vehicles or the related obligors;

  .  an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy issued by
     guaranteeing payments of principal and interest on the certificates; and

  .  certain rights under the agreements by which the receivables are sold
     from BVAC to the depositor and from the depositor to the trust.

   The receivables arise from:

     (1) motor vehicle installment sale contracts that were originated by
  dealers for assignment to BVAC or the Bank (directly or through Ultra
  Funding Corporation ("Ultra"), or Bay View Credit ("BVC"), both of which
  were wholly-owned subsidiaries of BVAC prior to being merged into BVAC on
  June 14, 1999, or California Thrift & Loan ("CTL"), which was renamed Bay
  View Credit on January 2, 1998) or

     (2) motor vehicle loan contracts that were solicited by dealers for
  origination by BVC, the Bank or CTL.

   BVAC will sell all the receivables to be included in the trust to the
depositor. The trust will acquire its assets from the depositor pursuant to the
pooling and servicing agreement. In addition, the depositor must sell
subsequent receivables to the trust (subject to availability) having an
aggregate principal balance or pre-funded amount equal to approximately $   .
The trust will be obligated to purchase the subsequent receivables from the
depositor (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) prior to the end
of a specific funding period. The depositor will designate as a subsequent
cutoff date each effective date that subsequent receivables are conveyed to the
trust. Each date during the funding period on which subsequent receivables will
be conveyed to the trust is a subsequent transfer date. See "The Certificates--
Sale and Assignment of Receivables; Subsequent Receivables" and "The
Receivables Pool" in this prospectus supplement and "Formation of the Trust"
and "The Receivables Pools" in the accompanying prospectus.

   Payment of the amount due to the registered lienholder under each receivable
is secured by a first perfected security interest in the related financed
vehicle. BVAC, BVC, the Bank (or its predecessor, Bay View Federal Bank) or CTL
is or will be the registered lienholder (the "Named Lienholders") on the
certificate of title of each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables were selected from the automobile receivable portfolio of
BVAC, based on the criteria specified in the pooling and servicing agreement
and described in this prospectus supplement under "The Receivables Pools," and
"Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of
Receivables" in the accompanying prospectus. The underwriting procedures and
standards employed with respect to the receivables are described under "The
Receivables Pools--Underwriting Procedures" in the accompanying prospectus.

   Subsequent receivables may be originated using credit criteria that differ
from those used for the initial receivables. Therefore, the initial receivables
may be of a different credit quality and seasoning. In addition, the transfer
of subsequent receivables to the trust may adversely affect the characteristics
of the entire pool of receivables. The provisions describing the transfer of
subsequent receivables and verification that subsequent receivables conform to
the requirements of the pooling and servicing agreement can be found in "The
Receivables Pool" and "The Certificates--Sale and Assignment of Receivables;
Subsequent Receivables" in this prospectus supplement. See also "Risk Factors--
Certain Risks Associated with Pre-Funding" and "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of Subsequent Receivables" in the
accompanying prospectus.

Pre-Funding Account

   The trustee will deposit and maintain the pre-funded amount in a pre-funding
account during the funding period from the closing date until the earliest of:


                                      S-8
<PAGE>

     (1) the date on which the amount on deposit in the pre-funding account
  is equal to or less than $   ;

     (2) the occurrence of an event of default under the pooling and
  servicing agreement;

     (3) the occurrence of certain events of insolvency of the depositor or
  the servicer; or

     (4) the [third] payment date.

   The funding period will not be more than three calendar months.

   The pre-funded amount initially will equal $    and will be reduced by the
amount used to purchase subsequent receivables. See "Description of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Accounts--Pre-Funding Account" in the
accompanying prospectus and "The Certificates--Sale and Assignment of
Receivables; Subsequent Receivables" in this prospectus supplement.

   The trustee will invest funds on deposit in the pre-funding account during
the funding period in eligible investments, subject to certain limitations. Any
investment income from such investments will be transferred from the pre-
funding account to the collection account on each payment date and will be
included in available funds for such payment date.

   If any pre-funded amount remains in the pre-funding account at the end of
the pre-funding period, the trustee will pay such amount to the
certificateholders on the payment date on or immediately following the last day
of the pre-funding period. The trustee will pay the amount to the
certificateholders pro rata, based on the initial certificate amounts of the
certificates held by the certificateholders. The amount the trustee pays to the
certificateholders will constitute a prepayment of the aggregate certificate
balance of the certificates and may reduce the certificateholders' anticipated
yield. See "The Certificates--Sale and Assignment of Receivables; Subsequent
Receivables" in this prospectus supplement. See also "Risk Factors--Certain
Risks Associated with Pre-Funding" and "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements--Accounts" in the accompanying prospectus.

Available Funds; Rights of the Class IC Certificateholder

   The amount of funds available for distribution to Class A and Class I
certificateholders on any distribution date will consist of funds from the
following sources:

     (1) payments received from obligors in respect of the receivables (net
  of any amount required to be deposited to the payahead account in respect
  of precomputed receivables);

     (2) any net withdrawal from the payahead account in respect of
  precomputed receivables;

     (3) interest earned on funds on deposit in the certificate account;

     (4) liquidation proceeds received in respect of receivables;

     (5) advances received from the servicer in respect of interest on
  certain delinquent receivables; and

     (6) amounts received in respect of required repurchases or purchases of
  receivables by BVAC or the servicer.

   The trustee will draw on the policy if the amount of available funds for any
distribution date is not sufficient to pay:

     (1) the amounts owed to the servicer (including the monthly servicing
  fee and reimbursement for advances made by the servicer to the trust); and

     (2) the required distributions of interest to the Class A and Class I
  certificateholders and principal to the Class A certificateholders.

   If there is a default under the policy, any losses on the receivables will
be borne directly by the Class A certificateholders and the Class I
certificateholders. See "Risk Factors--You May Incur a Loss if there is a
Default Under the Policy," "The Offered Certificates--Accounts" and "--
Distributions on the Offered Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

   Any amount on deposit in the certificate account on any distribution date
after all other required deposits to and withdrawals from the certificate
account have been made will be distributed to the Class IC certificateholder.
Any

                                      S-9
<PAGE>

such distribution to the Class IC certificateholder will no longer be an asset
of the trust.

   See "The Offered Certificates--Accounts" and "--The Policy" in this
prospectus supplement.

The Policy

   The depositor will obtain an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy.
Subject to the terms of the policy, the insurer will guarantee the payment of
the monthly servicing fee and the distribution of monthly interest and monthly
principal on the offered certificates up to the policy amount.

   In addition, the policy will cover any amount paid or required to be paid by
the trust to the Class A and Class I certificateholders, which amount is sought
to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy of BVAC or
the depositor under the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a
final nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction.

   See "The Offered Certificates--The Policy" in this prospectus supplement.

Policy Amount

   The policy amount with respect to any distribution date will be the sum of:

     (1) the monthly servicing fee;

     (2) monthly interest; and

     (3) the lesser of (a) the outstanding aggregate certificate balance of
  the Class A certificates on such distribution date (after giving effect to
  any distributions of available funds to distribute monthly principal on
  such distribution date) and (b) the initial aggregate certificate balance
  of the Class A certificates minus all amounts drawn on the policy with
  respect to monthly principal.

Insurer

          is the insurer and will guarantee the payment of monthly interest and
monthly principal under the terms of the policy. See "The Insurer" in this
prospectus supplement.

Optional Redemption

   The servicer has the right to purchase all of the receivables as of the last
day of any collection period on which (1) the aggregate balance of the
receivables on the related distribution date (after the distribution of all
amounts to be paid on such distribution date) will be equal to or less than 10%
of the initial aggregate balance of the receivables and (2) the notional
principal amount of the Class I certificates is zero (or will be reduced to
zero on or before the related distribution date). We will redeem the offered
certificates as a result of such a purchase of the receivables.

   The purchase price for the receivables will be equal to the fair market
value of the receivables; provided that such amount may not be less than the
sum of:

     (1) 100% of the outstanding aggregate certificate balance of the Class A
  certificates,

     (2) accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding certificate balance
  of the Class A certificates at the weighted average interest rate of the
  receivables, and

     (3) any amounts due the insurer.

Tax Status

   In the opinion of special tax counsel to the depositor, for federal income
tax purposes the trust will not be treated as an association taxable as a
corporation or as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation.

   The trustee and the certificateholders will agree to treat the trust as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the trust will
not be subject to federal income tax and the certificateholders will be
required to report their respective shares of the trust's taxable income,
deductions and other tax attributes. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in
the accompanying prospectus.

Ratings

   On the closing date, each class of offered certificates will be issued only
if such class receives ratings from      and     , as follows:

ERISA Considerations

   The Class A and Class I certificates may be eligible for purchase by
employee benefit plans subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Any benefit plan fiduciary
considering the purchase of Class A and Class I certificates should, among
other things, consult with experienced legal counsel in determining whether all
required conditions for such purchase have been satisfied. See "ERISA
Considerations" in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying
prospectus.

               THE DEPOSITOR AND BAY VIEW ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION

   BVAC is an automotive finance company engaged primarily in the indirect
financing (the purchase of loan contracts from dealers) of automobile purchases
by individuals. BVAC currently acquires receivables from over 3,800
manufacturer franchised automobile dealerships in 14 states. For the fiscal
years ended    ,    ,    ,    , [and the    months ended    ,    ,] BVAC and/or
the other Named Lienholders acquired motor vehicle loans aggregating $
million, $   million, $   million and $   million, respectively. At       ,
the servicing portfolio of BVAC (consisting of the principal balance of
receivables held to maturity and securitized receivables) totaled approximately
$   million. The depositor is a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary of
BVCC.

                             FORMATION OF THE TRUST

   The depositor will establish the trust by assigning the trust assets to the
trustee in exchange for the certificates. The depositor will sell the offered
certificates and retain the Class IC certificate. BVAC will service the
receivables pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement and will receive
compensation for acting as the servicer. To facilitate servicing and to
minimize administrative burden and expense, the servicer will serve as
custodian of the receivables for the trustee. However, the servicer will not
stamp the receivables to reflect the sale and assignment of the receivables to
the trust or the trustee or make any notation of the trustee's lien on the
certificates of title of the financed vehicles. In the absence of such notation
on the certificates of title, the trust or the trustee may not have perfected
security interests in the financed vehicles securing the receivables. Under the
terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, BVAC may delegate its duties as
servicer and custodian; however, any such delegation will not relieve BVAC of
its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties. See "Description
of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Servicing Compensation and
Distribution of Expenses" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables" in the
accompanying prospectus.

   The depositor will obtain the policy for the benefit of the
certificateholders. The trustee will draw on the policy, up to the policy
amount, if available funds (after paying amounts owed to the servicer) are not
sufficient to fully distribute monthly interest and monthly principal. If there
is a default under the policy, the trust will look only to the obligors on the
receivables and the proceeds from the repossession and sale of financed
vehicles that secure defaulted receivables for distributions of interest and
principal on the offered certificates. In such event, certain factors, such as
the trustee not having perfected security interests in some of the financed
vehicles, may affect the trust's ability to realize on the collateral securing
the receivables, and thus may reduce the proceeds to be distributed to the
certificateholders. See "The Offered Certificates--Accounts," "--Distributions
on the Offered Certificates" and "--The Policy" in this prospectus supplement
and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables" in the accompanying prospectus.

                              THE RECEIVABLES POOL

General

   The receivables were acquired by BVAC or a Named Lienholder from dealers or
originated by BVAC or a Named Lienholder through dealers in the ordinary course
of business. One of the Named Lienholders will be the registered lienholder on
the certificates of title to each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables were selected from the portfolio of BVAC for purchase by the
depositor according to several criteria, including that each receivable:

  .  is secured by a new or used vehicle;

  .  provides for level monthly payments (except for the initial down
     payment, which may be different from the level payments) that fully
     amortize the amount financed over the original term to maturity of the
     receivable;

                                      S-14
<PAGE>

  .  is a precomputed receivable or a simple interest receivable;

  .  has an original term to stated maturity of not more than   months and
     not less than   months;

  .  has a remaining term to stated maturity of not more than   months and
     not less than   months; and

  .  has a contract rate of interest (exclusive of prepaid finance charges)
     of not less than   %.

   The weighted average remaining term to stated maturity of the receivables
was approximately   months as of       ,   .

   Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the receivables as of
      ,    are simple interest contracts which provide for equal monthly
payments. Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the
receivables as of       ,    are precomputed receivables originated in the
State of California. All of such precomputed receivables are rule of 78's
receivables. Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the
receivables as of       ,    represent financing of new vehicles; the remainder
of the receivables represent financing of used vehicles.

   Receivables representing more than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of
the receivables as of       ,    were originated in the States of       ,
and     . The performance of the receivables in the aggregate could be
adversely affected in particular by the development of adverse economic
conditions in such states.

   The trust is obligated to purchase subsequent receivables on a subsequent
transfer date only if the subsequent receivables satisfy certain criteria,
including that:

  .  [describe criteria specific to the particular transaction].

   In addition, the trust is obligated to purchase the subsequent receivables
only if the weighted average remaining term of the receivables (including the
subsequent receivables) is not more than   months. The trust will determine
whether the receivables satisfy the above criteria based on the characteristics
of the initial receivables as of        and any subsequent receivables as of
the related subsequent cutoff date.

   The initial receivables will represent approximately  % of the initial
aggregate principal balance of the certificates. However, except for the
criteria described in the preceding paragraphs, the subsequent receivables are
not required to have any other specified criteria. Therefore, following the
transfer of subsequent receivables to the trust, the aggregate characteristics
of the entire receivables pool, including the composition of the receivables,
the distribution by contract rate and the geographic distribution, may vary
significantly from those of the initial receivables.

                      YIELD AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS

General

   Monthly interest will be distributed to Class A and Class I
certificateholders on each distribution date to the extent of the pass-through
interest rate applicable to each offered certificate applied to the aggregate
certificate balance or notional principal amount, as applicable, as of the
preceding distribution date or the closing date, as applicable (after giving
effect to payments of principal on such preceding distribution date). See "The
Offered Certificates--Distributions on the Offered Certificates" in this
prospectus supplement.

   Upon a full or partial prepayment on a receivable, Class A and Class I
certificateholders should receive interest for the full month of such
prepayment either:

     (1) through the distribution of interest paid on the receivables;

     (2) by an advance from the servicer; or

     (3) by a draw on the policy.

   The receivables will have different contract rates. The contract rate on a
small percentage of the receivables will generally not exceed the sum of:

     (1) the pass-through interest rate on the Class A certificates;

     (2) the Class I pass-through rate;

     (3) the per annum rate used to calculate the insurance premium paid to
  the insurer; and

     (4) the per annum rate used to calculate the monthly servicing fee.

   Disproportionate rates of prepayments between receivables with higher and
lower contract rates could affect the ability of the trust to distribute
monthly interest to you.

The Class I Certificates

   The Class I certificates are interest-only certificates. We intend the
planned amortization feature of the notional principal amount of the Class I
certificates to reduce the effect that prepayments will have on the Class I
certificates. However, the notional principal amount of the Class I
certificates may be reduced more quickly than provided in the Planned Notional
Principal Amount Schedule if the receivables prepay more quickly than  % ABS.
Such prepayments in excess of the rate assumed in the Planned Notional
Principal Amount Schedule will reduce the yield of the Class I certificates. As
such, the yield to maturity on the Class I certificates will be very sensitive
to the rate of prepayments, including voluntary prepayments and prepayments due
to liquidations and repurchases. See "Risk Factors--Prepayments May Reduce the
Yield on the Class I Certificates" and "The Offered Certificates--The Class I
Certificates--Calculation of Notional Principal Amount" and "--Class I Yield
Considerations" in this prospectus supplement.

Mandatory Repurchase

   If any pre-funded amount remains in the pre-funding account at the end of
the pre-funding period, the trustee will pay such amount to the Class A
certificateholders on the payment date on or immediately following the last day
of the pre-funding period. The trustee will pay the amount, which will be
applied as a principal prepayment of the Class A certificates, to the Class A
certificateholders pro rata, based on the initial certificate balances of the
Class A certificates held by the Class A certificateholders.

servicing agreement. You may request a copy of this agreement (without
exhibits) by contacting the servicer at the address set forth under "Reports to
Certificateholders" in this prospectus supplement. We do not claim that the
following summary is complete. For a more detailed description of the pooling
and servicing agreement, you should read the pooling and servicing agreement.

Sale and Assignment of Receivables; Subsequent Receivables

   We have described the conveyance of the initial receivables (1) from BVAC to
the depositor pursuant to the purchase agreement dated as of       , among BVAC
and the depositor and (2) from the depositor to the trust pursuant to the
pooling and servicing agreement in the accompanying prospectus under the
heading "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and
Assignment of Receivables." In addition, during the funding period, BVAC will
be obligated to sell to the depositor and the depositor will be obligated to
sell to the trust, subsequent receivables having an aggregate principal balance
equal to the pre-funded amount of approximately $     to the extent that
subsequent receivables are available.

   On each subsequent transfer date during the funding period, BVAC will sell
and assign to the depositor, and the depositor will sell and assign to the
trust, without recourse, its interest in the subsequent receivables. The
subsequent receivables will be designated by BVAC as of the related subsequent
cutoff date and identified in a schedule attached to a subsequent assignment
instrument relating to such subsequent receivables. Such instrument will be
executed and delivered on such subsequent transfer date by the seller for
delivery to the trustee pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement,
subject to the conditions described below.

   Any conveyance of subsequent receivables is subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions, among others, on or before the related subsequent
transfer date:

  .  each such subsequent receivable must satisfy the eligibility criteria
     specified in the pooling and servicing agreement and shall not have been
     selected from among such eligible receivables in a manner that BVAC or
     the depositor deems adverse to the interests of the certificateholders;

  .  as of the related subsequent cutoff date, the receivables in the trust
     at that time, including the subsequent receivables to be conveyed by the
     depositor as of such subsequent cutoff date, will satisfy the criteria
     described under "The Receivables Pool" in this prospectus supplement and
     under "The Receivables Pools" in the accompanying prospectus; and

  .  BVAC shall have executed and delivered to the depositor, and the
     depositor shall have executed and delivered to the trustee, a written
     assignment conveying such subsequent receivables to the seller and the
     trust, respectively (including a schedule identifying such subsequent
     receivables).

   Moreover, any such conveyance of subsequent receivables will also be subject
to the satisfaction of the following requirements within   days after the
termination of the funding period:

  .  the seller must deliver certain opinions of counsel to the trustee and
     the rating agencies with respect to the validity of the conveyance of
     the subsequent receivables to the trust;

  .  the trustee shall have received written confirmation from a firm of
     certified independent public accountants that the receivables, including
     the subsequent receivables, satisfy the criteria described under "The
     Receivables Pool" in this prospectus supplement and under "The
     Receivables Pools" in the accompanying prospectus; and

  .  the rating agencies shall have notified the seller in writing that,
     following the addition of the subsequent receivables to the trust, the
     certificates will continue to be rated by such rating agencies in at
     least the same rating categories in which they were rated on the closing
     date.

                                      S-20
<PAGE>

   Such confirmation of the ratings of the certificates may depend on factors
other than the characteristics of the subsequent receivables, including the
delinquency, repossession and net loss experience on the automobile, light duty
truck, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, sport utility vehicle and van
receivables in the portfolio serviced by the servicer. BVAC will immediately
repurchase from the trustee, at a price equal to the purchase amount, any
subsequent receivable that fails to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions
subsequent.

   Subsequent receivables may be or may have been originated or acquired by
BVAC at a later date using credit criteria different from those that were
applied to the initial receivables. See "The Receivables Pool" in this
prospectus supplement.

Accounts

   In addition to the certificate account, the property of the trust will
include the payahead account.

   Payahead Account. The servicer will establish a payahead account in the name
of the trustee on behalf of obligors on the receivables and the
certificateholders. The payahead account will initially be maintained with the
trustee. To the extent required by the pooling and servicing agreement, early
payments by or on behalf of obligors on precomputed receivables will be
deposited in the payahead account until such time as the payment becomes due.
Until such time as payments are transferred from the payahead account to the
certificate account, they will not constitute collected interest or collected
principal and will not be available for payment to certificateholders. We will
pay the interest earned on the balance in the payahead account to the servicer
each month. We will apply collections received on a precomputed receivable
during a collection period first to any overdue scheduled payment on such
receivable, then to the scheduled payment on such receivable due in such
collection period. If the amount collected on a precomputed receivable exceeds
the amount required for any overdue scheduled payment or scheduled payment, but
is insufficient to prepay the precomputed receivable in full, then generally
such excess collections will be transferred to and kept in the payahead account
until such amount may be applied either to a later scheduled payment or to
prepay such receivable in full.

Advances

   With respect to each receivable delinquent more than 30 days at the end of a
collection period, the servicer will make an advance in an amount equal to 30
days of interest but only if the servicer, in its sole discretion, expects to
recover the advance from subsequent collections on the receivable. The servicer
will deposit the advance in the certificate account on or before the second
business day before the distribution date. The servicer will recover its
advance from subsequent payments by or on behalf of the respective obligor from
insurance proceeds or, upon the servicer's determination that reimbursement
from the preceding sources is unlikely, will recover its advance from any
collections made on other receivables.

Distributions on the Offered Certificates

   Available Funds. The servicer will deposit in the certificate account the
aggregate principal and interest payments, including full and partial
prepayments (except certain prepayments in respect of precomputed receivables
as described above under "--Accounts") received on all receivables with respect
to the preceding collection period. The funds available for distribution on the
next distribution date ("Available Funds") will consist of:

  .  all payments on the simple interest receivables received during the
     related collection period;

  .  the scheduled payments received from obligors on precomputed
     receivables:

  .  interest earned on funds on deposit in the certificate account;

  .  the net amount to be transferred from the payahead account to the
     certificate account for the related distribution date;

                                      S-21
<PAGE>

  .  all advances for such collection period; and

  .  the purchase amount for all receivables that were purchased or
     repurchased by BVAC or the servicer during the preceding collection
     period.

   As an administrative convenience, the servicer will be permitted to make the
deposit of collections and aggregate advances and purchase amounts for or with
respect to the collection period net of distributions to be made to the
servicer with respect to the collection period (as described below). The
servicer, however, will account to the trustee and to the certificateholders as
if all deposits and distributions were made individually.

   The servicer will determine the amount of funds necessary to make
distributions of Monthly Principal and Monthly Interest to the holders of the
offered certificates and to pay the monthly servicing fee to the servicer. If
there is a deficiency with respect to Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal on
any distribution date, after giving effect to payments of the monthly servicing
fee and permitted reimbursements of outstanding advances to the servicer on
such distribution date, or if there is a deficiency with respect to the monthly
servicing fee, the servicer will notify the trustee of the remaining
deficiency, and the trustee will draw on the policy, up to the Policy Amount,
to pay Monthly Interest, Monthly Principal, and the monthly servicing fee.

   Distributions. On each distribution date, the trustee will use the Available
Funds (plus any amounts drawn on the policy) to make the following
distributions in the following priority:

     (a) without duplication, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the amount of
  outstanding advances in respect of receivables that became defaulted
  receivables during the prior collection period plus (2) the amount of
  outstanding advances in respect of receivables that the servicer determines
  to be unrecoverable, to the servicer;

     (b) the monthly servicing fee, including any overdue monthly servicing
  fee, to the servicer, to the extent not previously distributed to the
  servicer;

     (c) Monthly Interest (including any overdue amounts) to the Class A and
  Class I certificateholders;

     (d) Monthly Principal (including any overdue amounts) to the Class A
  certificateholders;

     (e) the insurance premium including any overdue insurance premium plus
  any accrued interest to the insurer;

     (f) the amount of recoveries of advances (to the extent such recoveries
  have not previously been reimbursed to the servicer pursuant to clause (a)
  above), to the servicer;

     (g) the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed draws on the policy payable
  to the insurer under the insurance and reimbursement agreement, for Monthly
  Interest, Monthly Principal and any other amounts owing to the insurer
  under the insurance and reimbursement agreement plus accrued interest
  thereon; and

     (h) the excess, if any, to the Class IC certificateholder.

   Payments due the insurer on a distribution date as described in clause (g)
above will be payable from Available Funds, after distribution of the amounts
described in clauses (a) through and including (f) above.

   Any amounts distributed to the Class IC certificateholder will no longer be
property of the trust and will not be available to make payments to you.

   Definitions. The following defined terms are used in this "Distributions on
the Offered Certificates" section.

   "Monthly Principal" for any distribution date will equal the sum of the
following:

     1. the amount by which the aggregate principal balance of the
  receivables pool declined during the related collection period; and

                                      S-22
<PAGE>

     2. the additional amount, if any, which is necessary to reduce the
  certificate balance of the Class A certificates to zero on its final
  maturity date.

   If there is a shortfall in Available Funds on any distribution date, the
amount of Monthly Principal otherwise distributable to Class A
certificateholders will be reduced by the lesser of: (1) the amount of such
shortfall or (2) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate outstanding
certificate balance of the Class A certificates as of the preceding
distribution date (after giving effect to all distributions of principal on
such date) was less than the aggregate principal balance of the receivables
pool as of the end of the related collection period. For the purpose of
determining Monthly Principal, the unpaid principal balance of a defaulted
receivable or a receivable required to be purchased or repurchased by BVAC or
the servicer will be zero as of the end of the collection period in which such
receivable became a defaulted receivable or a purchased receivable. In no event
will Monthly Principal exceed the aggregate outstanding certificate balance of
the Class A certificates.

   A defaulted receivable for any collection period is a receivable as to which
the earliest to occur of any of the following has occurred: (1) any payment, or
part thereof, is 120 days or more delinquent as of the last day of such
collection period; (2) the financed vehicle that secures the receivable has
been repossessed and liquidated; or (3) the receivable has been determined to
be uncollectable in accordance with the servicer's customary practices on or
prior to the last day of such collection period; provided, however, that any
receivable which the seller or the servicer is obligated to repurchase or
purchase pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement shall be deemed not to
be a defaulted receivable unless not repurchased within the time period
provided for in the pooling and servicing agreement.

   "Monthly Interest" for any distribution date will equal the sum of Class A
Monthly Interest and Class I Monthly Interest.

   "Class A Monthly Interest" means for any distribution date, the product of
the following:

     (a) one-twelfth of the Class A interest rate, and

     (b) the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A certificates as of
  the immediately preceding distribution date or, in the case of the first
  distribution date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
  distribution of principal made on such distribution date).

   "Class I Monthly Interest" means for any distribution date, the product of
the following:

     (a) one-twelfth of the Class I pass-through rate; and

     (b) the notional principal amount of the Class I certificates as of the
  immediately preceding distribution date or, in the case of the first
  distribution date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
  distribution of Monthly Principal made on such distribution date);

provided, however, that after the Class A Final Scheduled Distribution Date,
the Class I Monthly Interest shall be zero.

   Example of Distribution Date Activities. The following chart sets forth an
example of the application of the foregoing provisions to the first
distribution date on       :

      ,   ...................  Collection Period. The collection period for
                               each distribution date is the calendar month
                               preceding the distribution date. The servicer
                               receives monthly payments, prepayments, and
                               other proceeds in respect of the receivables
                               and deposits them in the certificate account.
                               The servicer may deduct the monthly servicing
                               fee from such deposits.


                                      S-23
<PAGE>

      ,   ...................  Determination Date. The determination date is
                               the tenth calendar day of the month, or if such
                               day is not a business day, the first business
                               day thereafter. On or before this date, the
                               servicer delivers the servicer's certificate to
                               the trustee setting forth the amounts to be
                               distributed on the distribution date and the
                               amounts of any deficiencies. If necessary, the
                               trustee notifies the insurer of any draws in
                               respect of the policy.

      ,   ...................  Record Date. The record date is the last day of
                               the collection period before the distribution
                               date. Payments on the distribution date are
                               made to certificateholders of record at the
                               close of business on this date.

      ,   ...................  Distribution Date. The distribution date is the
                               fifteenth calendar day of the month, or if such
                               day is not a business day, the first business
                               day thereafter. The trustee withdraws funds
                               from the certificate account and then draws on
                               the policy, if necessary, to pay Monthly
                               Interest and Monthly Principal to the
                               certificateholders as described in this
                               prospectus supplement, pays the monthly
                               servicing fee to the extent not previously
                               paid, pays the insurance premium and all other
                               amounts owing to the insurer.

The Class I Certificates--Calculation of Notional Principal Amount

   The Class I Certificates are entitled to receive interest at the Class I
pass-through rate on the notional principal amount of the Class I Certificates.
Solely for the purpose of calculating the amount payable to the Class I
certificateholders, the Class A certificate balance will be divided into two
notional principal components, the "PAC Component" and the "Companion
Component." The notional principal amount will be the same amount as the PAC
Component, originally $      . The sum of the PAC Component and the Companion
Component at any time will equal the then aggregate unpaid Class A certificate
balance at such time.

   The pooling and servicing agreement establishes the Planned Notional
Principal Amount Schedule under which principal will be allocated to the PAC
Component and the Companion Component. On each distribution date, the amount of
Monthly Principal allocated to Class A certificateholders will determine the
reduction in the notional principal amount as follows:

     (1) to the PAC Component up to the amount necessary to reduce the PAC
  Component to the amount specified in the Planned Notional Principal Amount
  Schedule for such Distribution Date;

     (2) to the Companion Component until the balance thereof is reduced to
  zero; and

     (3) to the PAC Component, without regard to the planned notional
  principal amount for such distribution date.

   As the PAC Component is reduced, the notional principal amount and payments
to the Class I certificateholders will also be reduced. The Class I
certificates are not entitled to receive any principal payments.

   The Class I certificates will not be entitled to any distribution after the
notional principal amount has been reduced to zero.

Class I Yield Considerations

   We intend the planned amortization feature of the Class I certificates to
reduce the uncertainty caused by prepayments of the receivables and the effect
of prepayments to the Class I certificates. However, the yield to maturity of
the Class I certificates will still be very sensitive to the prepayment
experience of the receivables,

                                      S-25
<PAGE>

including voluntary prepayments and prepayments due to liquidations and
repurchases. You should note that you will not be entitled to any
distributions on your Class I certificates after the notional principal amount
of the Class I certificates has been reduced to zero and that receivables may
be repurchased due to breaches of representations. See "Risk Factors--
Prepayments May Reduce the Yield on the Class I Certificates" in this
prospectus supplement.

   The following tables illustrate the significant effect that prepayments on
the receivables have upon the yield to maturity of the Class I certificates.
The first table assumes that the receivables have been aggregated into
hypothetical pools having the characteristics described therein and that the
level scheduled monthly payment for each of the seven pools (which is based on
its principal balance, weighted average contract rate, weighted average
remaining term as of        ,    and its weighted average original term) will
be such that such pool will be fully amortized by the end of its weighted
average remaining term. Based on such hypothetical pools, the second table
shows the approximate hypothetical pre-tax yields to maturity of the Class I
certificates, stated on a corporate bond equivalent basis, under five
different prepayment assumptions based on the assumed purchase price and the
ABS prepayment model described below.

</TABLE>

   For purposes of the table, it is also assumed that:

     (1) the purchase price of the Class I certificates is as set forth
  below;

     (2) the receivables prepay monthly at the specified percentages of ABS
  as set forth in the table below;

     (3) prepayments representing prepayments in full of individual
  receivables are received on the last day of the month and include a full
  month's interest;

     (4) the closing date for the offered certificates is     ,   ;

     (5) distributions on the offered certificates are made, in cash,
  commencing on     ,   , and on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter;

     (6) no defaults or delinquencies in the payment of the receivables are
  experienced; and

     (7) no receivable is repurchased for any breach of representation or
  warranty or for any other reason.

(1) Expressed as a percentage of the original notional principal amount.

   Based on the assumptions described above and assuming a purchase price of
 % at approximately  % ABS, the pre-tax yield to maturity of the Class I
certificates would be approximately 0%.

   We do not expect that the receivables will prepay at a constant rate until
maturity. In addition, we do not expect that the receivables will prepay at
the same rate. The foregoing table assumes that each receivable bears interest
at its specified contract rate, has the same remaining amortization term, and
prepays at the same rate. In fact, the receivables will prepay at different
rates and have different terms.

   The yields set forth in the preceding table were calculated by determining
the monthly discount rates which, when applied to the assumed stream of cash
flows to be paid on the Class I certificates, would cause the

                                     S-26
<PAGE>

discounted present value of such assumed cash flows to equal the assumed
purchase price of such Class I certificates. Then we convert such monthly
rates to corporate bond equivalent rates. Our calculations do not take into
account variations that may occur in the interest rates at which you may be
able to reinvest funds received as distributions on the Class I certificates
and we do not purport to reflect the return on any investment in the Class I
certificates when such reinvestment rates are considered.

   The receivables will not necessarily have the characteristics assumed above
and we cannot assure you that:

  (1) the receivables will prepay at any of the rates shown in the table or
      at any other particular rate or will prepay proportionately;

  (2) the pre-tax yield on the Class I certificates will correspond to any of
      the pre-tax yields shown above; or

  (3) the aggregate purchase price of the Class I certificates will be equal
      to the assumed purchase price.

   Because the receivables will include receivables that have remaining terms
to stated maturity shorter or longer than those assumed and contract rates
higher or lower than those assumed, the pre-tax yield on the Class I
certificates will differ from those set forth above, even if all of the
receivables prepay at the indicated constant prepayment rates.

   The ABS prepayment model was used in the preceding table to model the rate
of prepayment each month on the receivables.

Distributions on the Class IC Certificate

   The Class IC certificate will be initially issued to the depositor and will
entitle the depositor to receive all funds after payment of all amounts owed
to the Class A and Class I certificateholders, the servicer and the insurer.
On or after the termination of the trust, the Class IC certificateholder is
entitled to receive any amounts remaining in the trust (only after all
required payments to the insurer are made) after the payment of expenses and
payments to the Class A and Class I certificateholders. See "--Accounts" and
"--Distributions on the Offered Certificates" above.

The Policy

   On or before the closing date, the depositor, the trust, BVAC, in its
individual capacity and as servicer, and the insurer will enter into the
insurance and reimbursement agreement pursuant to which the insurer will issue
an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy. Subject to the terms of the
policy, the insurer will guarantee the payment of the monthly servicing fee,
Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal up to the Policy Amount. Under the
terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, the trustee will be authorized
to draw on the policy to pay a deficiency in the monthly servicing fee,
Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal, and credit the certificate account for
such draws as described above under "--Distributions on the Offered
Certificates."

   The maximum amount that may be drawn under the policy on any distribution
date is limited to the policy amount for such distribution date. The policy
amount with respect to any distribution date will equal the sum of:

  (1) the monthly servicing fee; and

  (2) Monthly Interest; and

  (3) the lesser of (a) the outstanding aggregate certificate balance of the
      Class A certificates on such distribution date (after giving effect to
      any distributions of Available Funds on such distribution date) and (b)
      the initial aggregate certificate balance of the Class A certificates
      minus all amounts drawn on the policy with respect to principal.

                                     S-27
<PAGE>

   The policy will also cover any amount paid or required to be paid by the
trust to Class A and Class I certificateholders that is sought to be recovered
as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy of BVAC or the depositor
pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.), as amended from time
to time, in accordance with a final nonappealable order of a court having
competent jurisdiction.

   The insurer will be entitled to receive the insurance premium and certain
other amounts on each distribution date as described under "--Distributions on
the Offered Certificates." Generally, the insurance premium for a distribution
date will be the product of one three hundred sixtieth ( 1/360th) of the policy
per annum fee rate (as set forth in the insurance and reimbursement agreement),
the actual days elapsed and the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A
certificates as of the preceding distribution date (after giving effect to all
payments of principal on such date). The insurer will not be entitled to
reimbursement of any amounts from the Class A and Class I certificateholders.
The insurer's obligation under the policy is irrevocable and unconditional. The
insurer will have no obligation to the Class A and Class I certificateholders
or the trustee, other than its obligations under the policy.

   If there has been a default under the policy, the trust will depend solely
on current collections on the receivables to make payments of principal and
interest on the offered certificates. In addition, because the market value of
motor vehicles generally declines with age and because of difficulties that may
be encountered in enforcing motor vehicle contracts as described in the
accompanying prospectus under "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables," the
servicer may not recover the entire amount due on such receivables in the event
of a repossession and resale of a financed vehicle securing a receivable in
default. In such event, the Class A and Class I certificateholders may suffer a
corresponding loss. Any such losses by the Class A and Class I
certificateholders will be borne based upon the aggregate outstanding
certificate balance of the Class A certificates or the notional principal
amount, as applicable. See "--Distributions on the Offered Certificates" above.

Rights of the Insurer upon Servicer Default, Amendment or Waiver

   Upon the occurrence of an event of default by the servicer under the pooling
and servicing agreement, the insurer, or the trustee upon the consent of the
insurer, will be entitled to appoint a successor servicer. In addition to the
events constituting an event of default as described in the accompanying
prospectus, the pooling and servicing agreement will also permit the insurer to
appoint a successor servicer and to redirect payments made under the
receivables to the trustee upon the occurrence of certain additional events
involving a failure of performance by the servicer or a material
misrepresentation made by the servicer under the insurance and reimbursement
agreement.

   The pooling and servicing agreement cannot be amended or any provisions
thereof waived without the consent of the insurer if such amendment or waiver
would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the insurer.

                         REPORTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

   Unless and until definitive certificates are issued (which will occur only
under the limited circumstances described in the accompanying prospectus),
     , as trustee, will provide monthly and annual statements concerning the
trust and the offered certificates to Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository
Trust Company, as registered holder of the offered certificates. Such
statements will not constitute financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A copy of the most recent monthly or
annual statement concerning the trust and the offered certificates may be
obtained by contacting the servicer at Bay View Acceptance Corporation, 818 Oak
Park Road, Covina, California 91724 (telephone (800) 524-9292).

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

   Subject to the considerations set forth under "ERISA Considerations" in the
accompanying prospectus, the Class A certificates and Class I Certificates may
be eligible for purchase by an employee benefit plan or an individual
retirement account (a "Benefit Plan") subject to Title I of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A fiduciary
of a Benefit Plan must determine that the purchase of a Class A or Class I
certificate is consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA and does not
result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code. Section 406 of ERISA prohibits parties in interest
or disqualified persons ("Parties in Interest") with respect to a Benefit Plan
from engaging in certain transactions (including loans) involving a Benefit
Plan and its assets unless a statutory or administrative exemption applies to
the transaction. Section 4975 of the Code imposes certain excise taxes (or, in
some cases, a civil penalty may be assessed pursuant to section 502(i) or
502(l) of ERISA) on Parties in Interest which engage in non-exempt prohibited
transactions or breaches of fiduciary duties.

   For additional information regarding treatment of the Class A and Class I
certificates under ERISA, see "ERISA Considerations" in the accompanying
prospectus.

   Generally, the amount of monthly interest distributable to the Class A and B
certificateholders on each distribution date is the product of:

     (1) one-twelfth of the interest rate applicable to the class of
  certificates; and

     (2) the aggregate outstanding certificate balance of the class on the
  preceding distribution date (after giving effect to all distributions to
  certificateholders on such date) or, in the case of the first distribution
  date, from the closing date.

   See "The Certificates--Distributions on the Certificates" in this prospectus
supplement.

Distributions of Principal

   The trust will distribute principal on each distribution date to the Class A
and Class B certificateholders of record as of the record date. Generally, the
amount of monthly principal the trust will pay is equal to the decrease in the
outstanding principal balance of the receivables pool during the preceding
calendar month. See "The Offered Certificates--Distributions on the Offered
Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

   Generally, on any payment date monthly principal will be distributed
proportionately between the Class A certificateholders and the Class B
certificateholders pro rata based upon the aggregate balances of the
certificates as of the preceding payment date. However, if there is a shortfall
in the funds available to pay monthly principal, no principal will be
distributed to the Class B certificateholders until the full amount of interest
on and principal of the Class A certificates payable on such payment date has
been distributed to the Class A certificateholders.

   The trust must distribute an amount equal to the outstanding certificate
balance of the Class A and the Class B certificates, as the case may be, to the
extent not previously distributed, by the final scheduled distribution date.

   Since the rate of distribution of principal of the Class A and Class B
certificates depends upon the rate of payment of principal on the receivables
(including voluntary prepayments and principal in respect of defaulted
receivables and purchased receivable), the final distribution in respect of the
Class A and Class B certificates could occur significantly earlier than the
final scheduled payment date. See "Risk Factors--You May Incur a Loss if there
is a Default Under the Policy" and "The Offered Certificates--Distributions on
the Offered Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

Subordination

   The rights of the Class B certificateholders to receive distributions of
monthly interest and monthly principal are subordinated to the rights of the
Class A certificateholders. See "The Certificates--Subordination of the Class B
Certificates," "--Distributions on the Certificates," "--Accounts--Spread
Account," "Risk Factors--Subordination" and "--You May Incur a Loss if there is
a Default Under the Policy" in this prospectus supplement.

The Class IC Certificate

   In addition to the Class A and Class B certificates, the trust will issue a
Class IC certificate pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement. The Class
IC certificate will be retained by the depositor. We are not offering this
certificate for sale in this offering.

The Trust Assets

   The trust assets will include:

  .  a pool of simple and precomputed interest installment sale and
     installment loan contracts originated in various states in the United
     States of America, secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty
     trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, sport utility vehicles and
     vans;

                                      S-6
<PAGE>


  .  certain monies (including accrued interest) due in respect of the
     receivables after       ,   , but excluding accrued interest paid before
     the closing date;

  .  security interests in the related vehicles financed through the
     receivables;

  .  funds on deposit in a certificate account and a spread account;

  .  any proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies relating to the
     financed vehicles or the related obligors;

  .  an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy issued by
     guaranteeing payments of principal and interest on the certificates; and

  .  certain rights under the agreements by which the receivables are sold
     from BVAC to the depositor and from the depositor to the trust.

   The receivables arise from:

     (1) motor vehicle installment sale contracts that were originated by
  dealers for assignment to BVAC or the Bank (directly or through Ultra
  Funding Corporation ("Ultra"), or Bay View Credit ("BVC"), both of which
  were wholly-owned subsidiaries of BVAC prior to being merged into BVAC on
  June 14, 1999, or California Thrift & Loan ("CTL"), which was renamed Bay
  View Credit on January 2, 1998) or

     (2) motor vehicle loan contracts that were solicited by dealers for
  origination by BVAC, BVC, the Bank or CTL.

   BVAC will sell all the receivables to be included in the trust to the
depositor. The trust will acquire its assets from the depositor pursuant to the
pooling and servicing agreement. In addition, the depositor must sell
subsequent receivables to the trust (subject to availability) having an
aggregate principal balance or pre-funded amount equal to approximately $   .
The trust will be obligated to purchase the subsequent receivables from the
depositor (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) prior to the end
of a specific funding period. The depositor will designate as a subsequent
cutoff date each effective date that subsequent receivables are conveyed to the
trust. Each date during the funding period on which subsequent receivables will
be conveyed to the trust is a subsequent transfer date. See "The Certificates--
Sale and Assignment of Receivables; Subsequent Receivables" and "The
Receivables Pool" in this prospectus supplement and "Formation of the Trust"
and "The Receivables Pools" in the accompanying prospectus.

   Payment of the amount due to the registered lienholder under each receivable
is secured by a first perfected security interest in the related financed
vehicle. BVC, the Bank (or its predecessor, Bay View Federal Bank) or CTL is or
will be the registered lienholder (the "Named Lienholders") on the certificate
of title of each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables were selected from the automobile receivable portfolio of
BVAC, based on the criteria specified in the pooling and servicing agreement
and described in this prospectus supplement under "The Receivables Pools," and
"Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of
Receivables" in the accompanying prospectus. The underwriting procedures and
standards employed are described under "The Receivables Pools--Underwriting
Procedures" in the accompanying prospectus.

   Subsequent receivables may be originated using credit criteria that differ
from those used for the initial receivables. Therefore, the initial receivables
may be of a different credit quality and seasoning. In addition, the transfer
of subsequent receivables to the trust may adversely affect the characteristics
of the entire pool of receivables. The provisions describing the transfer of
subsequent receivables and verification that subsequent receivables conform to
the requirements of the pooling and servicing agreement can be found in "The
Receivables Pool" and "The Certificates--Sale and Assignment of Receivables;
Subsequent Receivables" in this prospectus supplement. See also "Risk Factors--
Certain Risks Associated with Pre-Funding" and "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of Subsequent Receivables" in the
accompanying prospectus.

Pre-Funding Account

   The trustee will deposit and maintain the pre-funded amount in a pre-funding
account during the funding period from the closing date until the earliest of:

     (1) the date on which the amount on deposit in the pre-funding account
  is equal to or less than $   ;

     (2) the occurrence of an event of default under the pooling and
  servicing agreement;

     (3) the occurrence of certain events of insolvency of the depositor or
  the servicer; or

     (4) the [third] payment date.

   The funding period will not be more than three calendar months.

   The pre-funded amount initially will equal $    and will be reduced by the
amount used to purchase subsequent receivables. See "Description of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Accounts--Pre-Funding Account" in the
accompanying prospectus and "The Certificates--Sale and Assignment of
Receivables; Subsequent Receivables" in this prospectus supplement.

   The trustee will invest funds on deposit in the pre-funding account during
the funding period in eligible investments, subject to certain limitations. Any
investment income from such investments will be transferred from the pre-
funding account to the collection account on each payment date and will be
included in available funds for such payment date.

   If any pre-funded amount remains in the pre-funding account at the end of
the pre-funding period, the trustee will pay such amount to the
certificateholders on the payment date on or immediately following the last day
of the pre-funding period. The trustee will pay the amount to the
certificateholders pro rata, based on the initial principal amounts of the
certificates held by the certificateholders. The amount the trustee pays to the
certificateholders will constitute a prepayment of the aggregate principal
balance of the certificates and may reduce the certificateholders' anticipated
yield. See "The Certificates--Sale and Assignment of Receivables; Subsequent
Receivables" in this prospectus supplement. See also "Risk Factors--Certain
Risks Associated with Pre-Funding" and "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements--Accounts" in the accompanying prospectus.

Spread Account; Available Funds; Rights of the Class IC Certificateholder

   The depositor will establish a spread account on the closing date in the
name of the trustee for the benefit of the certificateholders and the insurer.
The spread account will hold the excess, if any, of the collections on the
receivables over the amounts which the trust is required to distribute to the
certificateholders, the servicer and the insurer.

   The amount of funds available for distribution to Class A and Class B
certificateholders on any distribution date will consist of funds from the
following sources:

     (1) payments received from obligors in respect of the receivables (net
  of any amount required to be deposited to the payahead account in respect
  of precomputed receivables);

     (2) any net withdrawal from the payahead account in respect of
  precomputed receivables;

     (3) interest earned on funds on deposit in the certificate account;

     (4) liquidation proceeds received in respect of receivables;

     (5) advances received from the servicer in respect of interest on
  certain delinquent receivables; and

     (6) amounts received in respect of required repurchases or purchases of
  receivables by BVAC or the servicer.

   The trustee will withdraw funds from the spread account (up to the amount on
deposit in the account) and, if necessary, draw on the policy if the amount of
available funds for any distribution date is not sufficient to pay:

     (1) the amounts owed to the servicer (including the monthly servicing
  fee and reimbursement for advances made by the servicer to the trust); and

                                      S-8
<PAGE>


     (2) the required distributions of interest and principal to the Class A
  and Class B certificateholders.

   If the amount on deposit in the spread account is zero after any withdrawals
for the benefit of the certificateholders, and there is a default under the
policy, any losses on the receivables will be borne directly pro rata first by
the Class B certificateholders (to the extent of the outstanding Class B
certificates at such time) and then pro rata by the Class A certificateholders.
See "Risk Factors--You May Incur a Loss if there is a Default Under the
Policy," "The Offered Certificates--Accounts" and "--Distributions on the
Offered Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

   Any amount on deposit in the spread account on any distribution date in
excess of the required spread amount (after all other required deposits to and
withdrawals from the spread account have been made) and any amount on deposit
in the certificate account on any distribution date (after all other required
deposits to and withdrawals from the certificate account have been made) will
be distributed to the Class IC certificateholder. Any such distribution to the
Class IC certificateholder will no longer be an asset of the trust.

   We intend for the amount on deposit in the spread account to grow over time
to the required spread amount through the deposit of the excess collections, if
any, on the receivables. However, we cannot assure you that the amount on
deposit in the spread account will actually grow to the required spread amount.

   The required spread amount with respect to any payment date will equal  % of
the aggregate principal balance of the certificates.

   See "The Offered Certificates--Accounts" and "--The Policy" in this
prospectus supplement.

The Policy

   The depositor will obtain an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy.
Subject to the terms of the policy, the insurer will guarantee the payment of
the monthly servicing fee and the distribution of monthly interest and monthly
principal on the offered certificates up to the policy amount.

   In addition, the policy will cover any amount paid or required to be paid by
the trust to the Class A and Class B certificateholders, which amount is sought
to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy of BVAC or
the depositor under the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a
final nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction.

   See "The Offered Certificates--The Policy" in this prospectus supplement.

Policy Amount

   The policy amount with respect to any distribution date will be:

    (A) the sum of:

      (1) the monthly servicing fee;

      (2) monthly interest; and

      (3) the lesser of (a) the outstanding aggregate certificate balance of
   the Class A and Class B certificates on such distribution date (after
   giving effect to any distributions of available funds and any funds
   withdrawn from the spread account to distribute monthly principal on such
   distribution date) and (b) the initial aggregate certificate balances of
   the Class A and Class B certificates minus all amounts drawn on the policy
   or withdrawn from the spread account with respect to monthly principal.

    (B) less

      all amounts on deposit in the spread account on such payment date
   (after giving effect to any funds withdrawn from the spread account to pay
   monthly principal on such payment date).

Insurer

        is the insurer and will guarantee the payment of monthly interest and
monthly principal under the terms of the policy. See "The Insurer" in this
prospectus supplement.

                                      S-9

Optional Redemption

   The servicer has the right to purchase all of the receivables as of the last
day of any collection period on which the aggregate balance of the receivables
on the related distribution date (after the distribution of all amounts to be
paid on such distribution date) will be equal to or less than 10% of the
initial aggregate balance of the receivables. We will redeem the offered
certificates as a result of such a purchase of the receivables.

   The purchase price for the receivables will be equal to the fair market
value of the receivables; provided that such amount may not be less than the
sum of:

     (1) 100% of the outstanding aggregate certificate balance of the Class A
  and Class B certificates,

     (2) accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding certificate balances
  of the offered certificates at the weighted average interest rate of the
  receivables, and

     (3) any amounts due the insurer.

Tax Status

   In the opinion of special tax counsel to the depositor, for federal income
tax purposes the trust will not be treated as an association taxable as a
corporation or as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation.

   The trustee and the certificateholders will agree to treat the trust as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the trust will
not be subject to federal income tax and the certificateholders will be
required to report their respective shares of the trust's taxable income,
deductions and other tax attributes. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in
the accompanying prospectus.

Ratings

   On the closing date, each class of offered certificates will be issued only
if such class receives ratings from     and    , as follows:

Class A certificates.....................................................

   A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the offered
certificates and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the
assigning rating agency. See "Risk Factors--A Change in the Certificate Ratings
May Adversely Affect the Offered Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

ERISA Considerations

   The Class A certificates may be eligible for purchase by employee benefit
plans subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Any benefit plan fiduciary considering the purchase
of Class A certificates should, among other things, consult with experienced
legal counsel in determining whether all required conditions for such purchase
have been satisfied. See "ERISA Considerations" in this prospectus supplement
and in the accompanying prospectus.

   Plans should not purchase Class B certificates, because the Class B
certificates are subordinate to the Class A certificates.

<PAGE>

                                  RISK FACTORS

   You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and in the
accompanying prospectus as well as the other investment considerations
described in such documents as you decide whether to purchase the offered
certificates.

You May Not be Able to Resell the Offered Certificates

   There is currently no secondary market for the offered certificates. The
underwriters currently intend to make a market to enable resale of the offered
certificates, but are under no obligation to do so. As such, we cannot assure
you that a secondary market will develop for your certificates or, if one does
develop, that such market will provide you with liquidity of investment or that
it will continue for the life of your certificates.

The Offered Certificates Are Interests in the Trust Only and are Not Guaranteed
by any Other Party

   The offered certificates are interests in the trust only and do not
represent an interest in or obligation of the depositor, BVAC, any of their
affiliates or any other party or governmental body. Except for the policy, the
offered certificates have not been insured or guaranteed by any party or
governmental body. See "The Offered Certificates--Distributions on the Offered
Certificates" and "--The Policy" in this prospectus supplement.

Subordination

   The rights of the Class B certificateholders to receive distributions of
monthly interest and monthly principal are subordinated to the rights of the
Class A certificateholders. See "The Certificates--Subordination of the Class B
Certificates," and "--Distributions on the Certificates" in this prospectus
supplement. No distribution of interest will be made to the Class B
certificateholders on any distribution date until the full amount of interest
distributable on the Class A certificates on such distribution date has been
distributed to the Class A certificateholders, and no distribution of principal
will be made to the Class B certificateholders on any payment date until the
full amount of Class A monthly interest and Class A monthly principal on such
distribution date has been distributed. Distributions of interest on the Class
B certificates will not be subordinated to distributions of principal on the
Class A certificates. Because the rights of the Class B certificateholders to
receive distributions of principal will be subordinated to the rights of the
Class A certificateholders to receive distributions of interest and principal,
the Class B certificates will be more likely than the Class A certificates to
suffer losses due to losses on the receivables. If the insurer defaults on the
policy, Class B certificateholders may not recover their initial investment in
the Class B certificates.

You May Incur a Loss if there is a Default Under the Policy

   If the insurer fails to make a required payment under the policy, the trust
will depend solely on payments on and proceeds from the receivables. If the
insurer fails to make a payment required under the policy to the trust when due
for any reason, such failure will constitute an insurer default under the
policy.

   If the trust does not have sufficient funds to fully make the required
distributions to Class A and Class B certificateholders on a distribution date
during a default by the insurer, distributions on the offered certificates on
such distribution date will generally be reduced in the following order:

     1. Class B monthly principal,

     2. Class A monthly principal,

     3. Class B monthly interest, and

     4. Class A monthly interest.

A Change in the Certificate Ratings May Adversely Affect the Offered
Certificates

       and     are the rating agencies rating the offered certificates. The
rating for the offered certificates will reflect only the view of the relevant
rating agency. We cannot assure you that any such rating will continue for any
period of time or that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by
such rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. A revision or
withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the

                                      S-11
<PAGE>

liquidity and market price of your offered certificates. A rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold the offered certificates.

Geographic Concentrations of the Receivables May Increase the Losses Realized
by the Trust

   As of      ,   , based upon billing address information provided to BVAC,
the obligors resided in 50 states and the District of Columbia, three of which
states,    ,     and    account for approximately  %,  % and %, respectively,
of the aggregate principal balance of the receivables. Adverse economic
conditions in    ,     or     could adversely affect the delinquency, loan loss
or repossession experience of the trust.

                                      S-12
<PAGE>

               THE DEPOSITOR AND BAY VIEW ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION

   BVAC is an automotive finance company engaged primarily in the indirect
financing (the purchase of loan contracts from dealers) of automobile purchases
by individuals. BVAC currently acquires receivables from over 3,800
manufacturer franchised automobile dealerships in 14 states. For the fiscal
years ended      ,   ,    ,    , [and the   months ended     ,    ,] BVAC
and/or the other Named Lienholders acquired motor vehicle loans aggregating
$    million, $    million, $    million and $    million, respectively. At
   ,     the servicing portfolio of BVAC (consisting of the principal balance
of receivables held to maturity and securitized receivables) totaled
approximately $    million. The depositor is a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote
subsidiary of BVCC.

                             FORMATION OF THE TRUST

   The depositor will establish the trust by assigning the trust assets to the
trustee in exchange for the certificates. The depositor will sell the offered
certificates and retain the Class IC certificate. BVAC will service the
receivables pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement and will receive
compensation for acting as the servicer. To facilitate servicing and to
minimize administrative burden and expense, the servicer will serve as
custodian of the receivables for the trustee. However, the servicer will not
stamp the receivables to reflect the sale and assignment of the receivables to
the trust or the trustee or make any notation of the trustee's lien on the
certificates of title of the financed vehicles. In the absence of such notation
on the certificates of title, the trust or the trustee may not have perfected
security interests in the financed vehicles securing the receivables. Under the
terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, BVAC may delegate its duties as
servicer and custodian; however, any such delegation will not relieve BVAC of
its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties. See "Description
of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Servicing Compensation and
Distribution of Expenses" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables" in the
accompanying prospectus.

   The depositor will establish the spread account for the benefit of the Class
A and Class B certificateholders and will obtain the policy for the benefit of
the certificateholders. The trustee will draw on the policy, up to the policy
amount, if available funds (after paying amounts owed to the servicer) are not
sufficient to fully distribute monthly interest and monthly principal. If there
is a default under the policy, the trust will look only to the obligors on the
receivables and the proceeds from the repossession and sale of financed
vehicles that secure defaulted receivables for distributions of interest and
principal on the offered certificates. In such event, certain factors, such as
the trustee not having perfected security interests in some of the financed
vehicles, may affect the trust's ability to realize on the collateral securing
the receivables, and thus may reduce the proceeds to be distributed to the
certificateholders. See "The Offered Certificates--Accounts," "--Distributions
on the Offered Certificates" and "--The Policy" in this prospectus supplement
and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables" in the accompanying prospectus.

                              THE RECEIVABLES POOL

General

   The receivables were acquired by BVAC or a Named Lienholder from dealers or
originated by BVAC or a Named Lienholder through dealers in the ordinary course
of business. One of the Named Lienholders will be the registered lienholder on
the certificates of title to each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables were selected from the portfolio of BVAC for purchase by the
depositor according to several criteria, including that each receivable:

    .  is secured by a new or used vehicle;

                                      S-13
<PAGE>

    .  provides for level monthly payments (except for the initial down
       payment, which may be different from the level payments) that fully
       amortize the amount financed over the original term to maturity of
       the receivable;

    .  is a precomputed receivable or a simple interest receivable;

    .  has an original term to stated maturity of not more than   months
       and not less than   months;

    .  has a remaining term to stated maturity of not more than   months
       and not less than   months; and

    .  has a contract rate of interest (exclusive of prepaid finance
       charges) of not less than  %.

   The weighted average remaining term to stated maturity of the receivables
was approximately   months as of        ,   .

   Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the receivables as of
      ,   are simple interest contracts which provide for equal monthly
payments. Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the
receivables as of     ,     are precomputed receivables originated in the State
of California. All of such precomputed receivables are rule of 78's
receivables. Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the
receivables as of     ,     represent financing of new vehicles; the remainder
of the receivables represent financing of used vehicles.

   Receivables representing more than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of
the receivables as of     ,     were originated in the States of    ,     and
   . The performance of the receivables in the aggregate could be adversely
affected in particular by the development of adverse economic conditions in
such states.

   The trust is obligated to purchase subsequent receivables on a subsequent
transfer date only if the subsequent receivables satisfy certain criteria,
including that:

  .  [describe criteria specific to the particular transaction].

   In addition, the trust is obligated to purchase the subsequent receivables
only if the weighted average remaining term of the receivables (including the
subsequent receivables) is not more than   months. The trust will determine
whether the receivables satisfy the above criteria based on the characteristics
of the initial receivables as of       and any subsequent receivables as of the
related subsequent cutoff date.

   The initial receivables will represent approximately  % of the initial
aggregate principal balance of the certificates. However, except for the
criteria described in the preceding paragraphs, the subsequent receivables are
not required to have any other specified criteria. Therefore, following the
transfer of subsequent receivables to the trust, the aggregate characteristics
of the entire receivables pool, including the composition of the receivables,
the distribution by contract rate and the geographic distribution, may vary
significantly from those of the initial receivables.

                      YIELD AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS

General

   Monthly interest will be distributed to Class A and Class B
certificateholders on each distribution date to the extent of the pass-through
interest rate applicable to each offered certificate applied to the aggregate
certificate balance as of the preceding distribution date or the closing date,
as applicable (after giving effect to payments of principal on such preceding
distribution date). See "The Offered Certificates--Distributions on the
Offered Certificates" in this prospectus supplement.

   Upon a full or partial prepayment on a receivable, Class A and Class B
certificateholders should receive interest for the full month of such
prepayment either:

     (1) through the distribution of interest paid on the receivables;

     (2) by an advance from the servicer;

     (3) from a withdrawal from the spread account; or

     (4) by a draw on the policy.

   The receivables will have different contract rates. The contract rate on a
small percentage of the receivables will generally not exceed the sum of:

     (1) the weighted average of the pass-through interest rates on the Class
  A and Class B certificates;

     (2) the per annum rate used to calculate the insurance premium paid to
  the insurer; and

     (3) the per annum rate used to calculate the monthly servicing fee.

   Disproportionate rates of prepayments between receivables with higher and
lower contract rates could affect the ability of the trust to distribute
monthly interest to you.

Mandatory Repurchase

   If any pre-funded amount remains in the pre-funding account at the end of
the pre-funding period, the trustee will pay such amount to the
certificateholders on the payment date on or immediately following the last
day of the pre-funding period. The trustee will pay the amount, which will be
applied as a principal prepayment of the certificates, to the
certificateholders pro rata, based on the initial principal amounts of the
certificates held by the certificateholders.

                           THE OFFERED CERTIFICATES

   The offered certificates will be issued pursuant to the pooling and
servicing agreement. You may request a copy of this agreement (without
exhibits) by contacting the servicer at the address set forth under "Reports
to Certificateholders" in this prospectus supplement. We do not claim that the
following summary is complete. For a more detailed description of the pooling
and servicing agreement, you should read the pooling and servicing agreement.

Sale and Assignment of Receivables; Subsequent Receivables

   We have described the conveyance of the initial receivables (1) from BVAC
to the depositor pursuant to the purchase agreement dated as of     , among
BVAC and the depositor and (2) from the depositor to the trust pursuant to the
pooling and servicing agreement in the accompanying prospectus under the
heading "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and
Assignment of Receivables." In addition, during the funding period, BVAC will
be obligated to sell to the depositor and the depositor will be obligated to
sell to the trust, subsequent receivables having an aggregate principal
balance equal to the pre-funded amount of approximately $     to the extent
that subsequent receivables are available.

                                     S-19
<PAGE>

   On each subsequent transfer date during the funding period, BVAC will sell
and assign to the depositor, and the depositor will sell and assign to the
trust, without recourse, its interest in the subsequent receivables. The
subsequent receivables will be designated by BVAC as of the related subsequent
cutoff date and identified in a schedule attached to a subsequent assignment
instrument relating to such subsequent receivables. Such instrument will be
executed and delivered on such subsequent transfer date by the seller for
delivery to the trustee pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement,
subject to the conditions described below.

   Any conveyance of subsequent receivables is subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions, among others, on or before the related subsequent
transfer date:

  .  each such subsequent receivable must satisfy the eligibility criteria
     specified in the pooling and servicing agreement and shall not have been
     selected from among such eligible receivables in a manner that BVAC or
     the depositor deems adverse to the interests of the certificateholders;

  .  as of the related subsequent cutoff date, the receivables in the trust
     at that time, including the subsequent receivables to be conveyed by the
     depositor as of such subsequent cutoff date, will satisfy the criteria
     described under "The Receivables Pool" in this prospectus supplement and
     under "The Receivables Pools" in the accompanying prospectus; and

  .  BVAC shall have executed and delivered to the depositor, and the
     depositor shall have executed and delivered to the trustee, a written
     assignment conveying such subsequent receivables to the seller and the
     trust, respectively (including a schedule identifying such subsequent
     receivables).

   Moreover, any such conveyance of subsequent receivables will also be subject
to the satisfaction of the following requirements within   days after the
termination of the funding period:

  .  the seller must deliver certain opinions of counsel to the trustee and
     the rating agencies with respect to the validity of the conveyance of
     the subsequent receivables to the trust;

  .  the trustee shall have received written confirmation from a firm of
     certified independent public accountants that the receivables, including
     the subsequent receivables, satisfy the criteria described under "The
     Receivables Pool" in this prospectus supplement and under "The
     Receivables Pools" in the accompanying prospectus; and

  .  the rating agencies shall have notified the seller in writing that,
     following the addition of the subsequent receivables to the trust, the
     certificates will continue to be rated by such rating agencies in at
     least the same rating categories in which they were rated on the closing
     date.

   Such confirmation of the ratings of the certificates may depend on factors
other than the characteristics of the subsequent receivables, including the
delinquency, repossession and net loss experience on the automobile, light duty
truck, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, sport utility vehicle and van
receivables in the portfolio serviced by the servicer. BVAC will immediately
repurchase from the trustee, at a price equal to the purchase amount, any
subsequent receivable that fails to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions
subsequent.

   Subsequent receivables may be or may have been originated or acquired by
BVAC at a later date using credit criteria different from those that were
applied to the initial receivables. See "The Receivables Pool" in this
prospectus supplement.

Accounts

   In addition to the certificate account, the property of the trust will
include the spread account and the payahead account.

   Spread Account. On the closing date, the trustee will establish the spread
account for the benefit of the certificateholders and the insurer, into which
the depositor will deposit an amount equal to  % of the initial aggregate
principal balance of the certificates. Thereafter, the amount held in the
spread account will increase up to the required spread amount by the deposit of
payments on the receivables not used to make payments to

                                      S-20
<PAGE>

the certificateholders (other than the Class IC certificateholder), the insurer
and the servicer for the monthly servicing fee and any permitted reimbursements
of outstanding advances on any payment date. Although we intend for the amount
on deposit in the spread account to grow over time to equal the required spread
amount through monthly deposits of any excess collections on the receivables,
we cannot assure you that such growth will actually occur. On each payment
date, any amounts on deposit in the spread account, after the payment of any
amounts owed to the certificateholders and the insurer, in excess of the
required spread amount will be distributed to the depositor.

   Under the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, the trustee will
withdraw funds from the spread account to the extent available and transfer
such funds to the certificate account for any deficiency of Monthly Interest or
Monthly Principal as further described below under "--Distributions on the
Certificates."

   If the balance of the spread account is reduced to zero and the insurer
defaults on the policy on any payment date, the trust will depend solely on
current distributions on the receivables to make distributions of principal and
interest on the certificates. In addition, because the market value of motor
vehicles generally declines with age and because of difficulties that may be
encountered in enforcing motor vehicle contracts as described in the
accompanying prospectus under "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables," the
servicer may not recover the entire amount due on such receivables in the event
of a repossession and resale of a financed vehicle securing a receivable in
default. In such event, you may suffer a corresponding loss which will be borne
first by the Class B certificateholders, pro rata up to the aggregate principal
balance of the Class B certificates, and then pro rata by the Class A
certificateholders.

   Payahead Account. The servicer will establish a payahead account in the name
of the trustee on behalf of obligors on the receivables and the
certificateholders. The payahead account will initially be maintained with the
trustee. To the extent required by the pooling and servicing agreement, early
payments by or on behalf of obligors on precomputed receivables will be
deposited in the payahead account until such time as the payment becomes due.
Until such time as payments are transferred from the payahead account to the
certificate account, they will not constitute collected interest or collected
principal and will not be available for payment to certificateholders. We will
pay the interest earned on the balance in the payahead account to the servicer
each month. We will apply collections received on a precomputed receivable
during a collection period first to any overdue scheduled payment on such
receivable, then to the scheduled payment on such receivable due in such
collection period. If the amount collected on a precomputed receivable exceeds
the amount required for any overdue scheduled payment or scheduled payment, but
is insufficient to prepay the precomputed receivable in full, then generally
such excess collections will be transferred to and kept in the payahead account
until such amount may be applied either to a later scheduled payment or to
prepay such receivable in full.

Subordination of the Class B Certificates

   The rights of the Class B certificateholders to receive distributions with
respect to the receivables will be subordinated to such rights of the Class A
certificateholders to the extent described in this prospectus supplement. This
subordination is intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by the
Class A certificateholders of the full amount of interest and principal
distributable to them on each payment date, and to afford the Class A
certificateholders limited protection against losses due to losses on the
receivables.

   No distribution of interest will be made to the Class B certificateholders
on any payment date until the full amount of interest payable on the Class A
certificates on such payment date has been distributed to the Class A
certificateholders, and no distribution of principal will be made to the Class
B certificateholders on any payment date until the full amount of Class A
Monthly Interest and Class A Monthly Principal payable on such payment date has
been paid. Distributions of interest on the Class B certificates will not be
subordinated to distributions of principal of the Class A certificates. Because
the rights of the Class B certificateholders to receive distributions of
principal will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A certificateholders
to receive distributions of interest and principal, the Class B certificates
will be more likely than the Class A certificates to suffer losses due to
losses on the receivables. If the aggregate amount of losses on the receivables
exceed the

                                      S-21
<PAGE>

amount on deposit in the spread account and the insurer defaults on the policy,
Class B certificateholders may not recover their initial investment in the
Class B certificates.

   The Class A certificateholders are protected by their rights to receive
distributions on the receivables before the Class B certificateholders receive
distributions, in the manner and to the extent described above. In addition, if
there are delinquencies or losses on the receivables, the Class A
certificateholders may be protected by the funds, if any, in the spread account
and by policy.

Advances

   With respect to each receivable delinquent more than 30 days at the end of a
collection period, the servicer will make an advance in an amount equal to 30
days of interest but only if the servicer, in its sole discretion, expects to
recover the advance from subsequent collections on the receivable. The servicer
will deposit the advance in the certificate account on or before the second
business day before the distribution date. The servicer will recover its
advance from subsequent payments by or on behalf of the respective obligor from
insurance proceeds or, upon the servicer's determination that reimbursement
from the preceding sources is unlikely, will recover its advance from any
collections made on other receivables.

Distributions on the Offered Certificates

   Available Funds. The servicer will deposit in the certificate account the
aggregate principal and interest payments, including full and partial
prepayments (except certain prepayments in respect of precomputed receivables
as described above under "--Accounts") received on all receivables with respect
to the preceding collection period. The funds available for distribution on the
next distribution date ("Available Funds") will consist of:

  .  all payments on the simple interest receivables received during the
     related collection period;

  .  the scheduled payments received from obligors on precomputed
     receivables:

  .  interest earned on funds on deposit in the certificate account;

  .  the net amount to be transferred from the payahead account to the
     certificate account for the related distribution date;

  .  all advances for such collection period; and

  .  the purchase amount for all receivables that were purchased or
     repurchased by BVAC or the servicer during the preceding collection
     period.

   As an administrative convenience, the servicer will be permitted to make the
deposit of collections and aggregate advances and purchase amounts for or with
respect to the collection period net of distributions to be made to the
servicer with respect to the collection period (as described below). The
servicer, however, will account to the trustee and to the certificateholders as
if all deposits and distributions were made individually.

   The servicer will determine the amount of funds necessary to make
distributions of Monthly Principal and Monthly Interest to the holders of the
offered certificates and to pay the monthly servicing fee to the servicer. If
there is a deficiency with respect to Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal on
any distribution date, after giving effect to payments of the monthly servicing
fee and permitted reimbursements of outstanding advances to the servicer on
such distribution date, or if there is a deficiency with respect to the monthly
servicing fee, the servicer will direct the trustee to withdraw amounts from
the spread account, up to the amount on deposit in such account. If there
remains a deficiency of Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal or the monthly
servicing fee after such a withdrawal, the servicer will notify the trustee of
the remaining deficiency, and the trustee will draw on the policy, up to the
Policy Amount, to pay Monthly Interest, Monthly Principal, and the monthly
servicing fee.

                                      S-22
<PAGE>

   Distributions. On each distribution date, the trustee will use the
Available Funds (plus any amounts withdrawn from the spread account or drawn
on the policy, as applicable) to make the following distributions in the
following priority:

     (a) without duplication, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the amount of
  outstanding advances in respect of receivables that became defaulted
  receivables during the prior collection period plus (2) the amount of
  outstanding advances in respect of receivables that the servicer determines
  to be unrecoverable, to the servicer;

     (b) the monthly servicing fee, including any overdue monthly servicing
  fee, to the servicer, to the extent not previously distributed to the
  servicer;

     (c) pro rata, Class A Monthly Interest (including any overdue amounts)
  to the Class A certificateholders;

     (d) pro rata, Class B Monthly Interest (including overdue amounts) to
  the Class B certificateholders;

     (e) pro rata, Class A Monthly Principal (including any overdue amounts)
  to the Class A certificateholders;

     (f) pro rata, Class B Monthly Principal (including any overdue amounts)
  to the Class B certificateholders;

     (g) the insurance premium including any overdue insurance premium plus
  any accrued interest to the insurer;

     (h) the amount of recoveries of advances (to the extent such recoveries
  have not previously been reimbursed to the servicer pursuant to clause (a)
  above), to the servicer;

     (i) the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed draws on the policy payable
  to the insurer under the insurance and reimbursement agreement, for Monthly
  Interest, Monthly Principal and any other amounts owing to the insurer
  under the insurance and reimbursement agreement plus accrued interest
  thereon; and

     (j) the balance into the spread account.

   Payments due the insurer on a distribution date as described in clause (i)
above will be payable from Available Funds, after distribution of the amounts
described in clauses (a) through and including (h) above. After all
distributions pursuant to clauses (a) through (j) above have been made for
each payment date, the amount of funds remaining in the spread account on such
date, if any, in excess of the required spread amount (after payment of all
amounts owed to the insurer), will be distributed to the Class IC
certificateholder.

   Any amounts distributed to the Class IC certificateholder will no longer be
property of the trust and will not be available to make payments to you.

   Definitions. The following defined terms are used in this "Distributions on
the Offered Certificates" section.

   "Monthly Principal" for any distribution date will equal the sum of Class A
Monthly Principal and Class B Monthly Principal.

   "Class A Monthly Principal" for any payment date will equal the amount
necessary to reduce the aggregate principal balance of the Class A
certificates to  % of the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the
receivables on the last day of the preceding collection period; provided,
however, that Class A Monthly Principal on the final scheduled payment date
will equal the aggregate principal balance of the Class A certificates on such
date.

   "Class B Monthly Principal" for any payment date will equal the amount
necessary to reduce the aggregate principal balance of the Class B
certificates to  % of the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal balances of
the receivables on the last day of the preceding collection period; provided,
however, that Class B

                                     S-23
<PAGE>

Monthly Principal on the final scheduled payment date will equal the aggregate
principal balance of the Class B certificates on such date.

   If there is a shortfall in Available Funds on any distribution date, the
amount of Monthly Principal otherwise distributable to Class A and Class B
certificateholders will be reduced by the lesser of: (1) the amount of such
shortfall or (2) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate outstanding
certificate balance of the Class A and Class B certificates as of the preceding
distribution date (after giving effect to all distributions of principal on
such date) was less than the aggregate principal balance of the receivables
pool as of the end of the related collection period. For the purpose of
determining Monthly Principal, Class A Monthly Principal and Class B Monthly
Principal, the unpaid principal balance of a defaulted receivable or a
receivable required to be purchased or repurchased by BVAC or the servicer will
be zero as of the end of the collection period in which such receivable became
a defaulted receivable or a purchased receivable. In no event will Monthly
Principal exceed the aggregate outstanding certificate balance of the Class A
and Class B certificates.

   A defaulted receivable for any collection period is a receivable as to which
the earliest to occur of any of the following has occurred: (1) any payment, or
part thereof, is 120 days or more delinquent as of the last day of such
collection period; (2) the financed vehicle that secures the receivable has
been repossessed and liquidated; or (3) the receivable has been determined to
be uncollectable in accordance with the servicer's customary practices on or
prior to the last day of such collection period; provided, however, that any
receivable which the seller or the servicer is obligated to repurchase or
purchase pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement shall be deemed not to
be a defaulted receivable unless not repurchased within the time period
provided for in the pooling and servicing agreement.

   "Monthly Interest" for any distribution date will equal the sum of Class A
Monthly Interest and Class B Monthly Interest.

   "Class A Monthly Interest" means for any distribution date, the product of
the following:

     (a) one-twelfth of the Class A interest rate, and

     (b) the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A certificates as of
  the immediately preceding distribution date or, in the case of the first
  distribution date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
  distribution of principal made on such distribution date).

   "Class B Monthly Interest" means for any distribution date, the product of
the following:

     (a) one-twelfth of the Class B interest rate, and

     (b) the aggregate certificate balance of the Class B certificates as of
  the immediately preceding distribution date or, in the case of the first
  distribution date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
  distribution of principal made on such distribution date).

   Example of Distribution Date Activities. The following chart sets forth an
example of the application of the foregoing provisions to the first
distribution date on      :

     ,   ................  Collection Period. The collection period for each
                           distribution date is the calendar month preceding
                           the distribution date. The servicer receives
                           monthly payments, prepayments, and other proceeds
                           in respect of the receivables and deposits them in
                           the certificate account. The servicer may deduct
                           the monthly servicing fee from such deposits.

     ,   ................  Determination Date. The determination date is the
                           tenth calendar day of the month, or if such day is
                           not a business day, the first business day
                           thereafter. On or before this date, the servicer
                           delivers the servicer's certificate to the trustee
                           setting forth the amounts to be distributed on the

                                      S-24
<PAGE>

                           distribution date and the amounts of any
                           deficiencies. If necessary, the trustee notifies
                           the insurer of any draws in respect of the policy.

     ,   ................  Record Date. The record date is the last day of the
                           collection period before the distribution date.
                           Payments on the distribution date are made to
                           certificateholders of record at the close of
                           business on this date.

     ,   ................  Distribution Date. The distribution date is the
                           fifteenth calendar day of the month, or if such day
                           is not a business day, the first business day
                           thereafter. The trustee withdraws funds from the
                           certificate account and, as necessary, from the
                           spread account and then draws on the policy, if
                           necessary, to pay Monthly Interest and Monthly
                           Principal to the certificateholders as described in
                           this prospectus supplement, pays the monthly
                           servicing fee to the extent not previously paid,
                           pays the insurance premium and all other amounts
                           owing to the insurer.

Distributions on the Class IC Certificate

   The Class IC certificate will be initially issued to the depositor and will
entitle the depositor to receive all funds after payment of all amounts owed to
the Class A and Class B certificateholders, the servicer and the insurer. On or
after the termination of the trust, the Class IC certificateholder is entitled
to receive any amounts remaining in the trust (only after all required payments
to the insurer are made) after the payment of expenses and payments to the
Class A and Class B certificateholders. See "--Accounts" and "--Distributions
on the Offered Certificates" above.

The Policy

   On or before the closing date, the depositor, the trust, BVAC, in its
individual capacity and as servicer, and the insurer will enter into the
insurance and reimbursement agreement pursuant to which the insurer will issue
an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy. Subject to the terms of the
policy, the insurer will guarantee the payment of the monthly servicing fee,
Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal up to the Policy Amount. Under the terms
of the pooling and servicing agreement, after withdrawal of any amounts in the
spread account with respect to a distribution date to pay a deficiency in
Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal, the trustee will be authorized to draw
on the policy to pay a deficiency in the monthly servicing fee, Monthly
Interest or Monthly Principal, and credit the certificate account for such
draws as described above under "--Distributions on the Offered Certificates."

   The maximum amount that may be drawn under the policy on any distribution
date is limited to the policy amount for such distribution date. The policy
amount with respect to any distribution date will equal:

     (A) the sum of:

       (1) the monthly servicing fee; and

       (2) Monthly Interest; and

       (3) the lesser of (a) the outstanding aggregate certificate balance
    of the Class A and Class B certificates on such distribution date
    (after giving effect to any distributions of Available Funds and any
    amounts withdrawn from the spread account on such distribution date)
    and (b) the initial aggregate certificate balances of the Class A and
    Class B certificates minus all amounts drawn on the policy or withdrawn
    from the spread account with respect to principal;

     (B) less:

       all amounts on deposit in the spread account on such distribution
    date (after giving effect to any funds withdrawn from the spread
    account to pay Monthly Principal on such distribution date).

                                      S-25
<PAGE>

   The policy will also cover any amount paid or required to be paid by the
trust to Class A and Class B certificateholders that is sought to be recovered
as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy of BVAC or the depositor
pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.), as amended from time
to time, in accordance with a final nonappealable order of a court having
competent jurisdiction.

   The insurer will be entitled to receive the insurance premium and certain
other amounts on each distribution date as described under "--Distributions on
the Offered Certificates" and to receive amounts on deposit under the spread
account as described under "--Accounts." Generally, the insurance premium for a
distribution date will be the product of one three hundred sixtieth (1/360th)
of the policy per annum fee rate (as set forth in the insurance and
reimbursement agreement), the actual days elapsed and the aggregate certificate
balance of the Class A and Class B certificates as of the preceding
distribution date (after giving effect to all payments of principal on such
date). The insurer will not be entitled to reimbursement of any amounts from
the Class A and Class B certificateholders. The insurer's obligation under the
policy is irrevocable and unconditional. The insurer will have no obligation to
the Class A and Class B certificateholders or the trustee, other than its
obligations under the policy.

   If the spread account balance has been reduced to zero and there has been a
default under the policy, the trust will depend solely on current collections
on the receivables to make payments of principal and interest on the offered
certificates. In addition, because the market value of motor vehicles generally
declines with age and because of difficulties that may be encountered in
enforcing motor vehicle contracts as described in the accompanying prospectus
under "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables," the servicer may not recover
the entire amount due on such receivables in the event of a repossession and
resale of a financed vehicle securing a receivable in default. In such event,
first, the Class B certificateholders and second, the Class A
certificateholders may suffer a corresponding loss. Any such losses by the
Class A and Class B certificateholders will be borne pro rata based upon the
relative certificate balances of the outstanding classes. See "--Distributions
on the Offered Certificates" above.

Rights of the Insurer upon Servicer Default, Amendment or Waiver

   Upon the occurrence of an event of default by the servicer under the pooling
and servicing agreement, the insurer, or the trustee upon the consent of the
insurer, will be entitled to appoint a successor servicer. In addition to the
events constituting an event of default as described in the accompanying
prospectus, the pooling and servicing agreement will also permit the insurer to
appoint a successor servicer and to redirect payments made under the
receivables to the trustee upon the occurrence of certain additional events
involving a failure of performance by the servicer or a material
misrepresentation made by the servicer under the insurance and reimbursement
agreement.

   The pooling and servicing agreement cannot be amended or any provisions
thereof waived without the consent of the insurer if such amendment or waiver
would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the insurer.

                         REPORTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

   Unless and until definitive certificates are issued (which will occur only
under the limited circumstances described in the accompanying prospectus),
     , as trustee, will provide monthly and annual statements concerning the
trust and the offered certificates to Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository
Trust Company, as registered holder of the offered certificates. Such
statements will not constitute financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A copy of the most recent monthly or
annual statement concerning the trust and the offered certificates may be
obtained by contacting the servicer at Bay View Acceptance Corporation, 818 Oak
Park Road, Covina, California 91724 (telephone (800) 524-9292).

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

   Subject to the considerations set forth under "ERISA Considerations" in the
accompanying prospectus, the Class A certificates may be eligible for purchase
by an employee benefit plan or an individual retirement account (a "Benefit
Plan") subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A fiduciary of a Benefit Plan must determine
that the purchase of a Class A certificate is consistent with its fiduciary
duties under ERISA and does not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction as
defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Section 406 of
ERISA prohibits parties in interest or disqualified persons ("Parties in
Interest") with respect to a Benefit Plan from engaging in certain transactions
(including loans) involving a Benefit Plan and its assets unless a statutory or
administrative exemption applies to the transaction. Section 4975 of the Code
imposes certain excise taxes (or, in some cases, a civil penalty may be
assessed pursuant to section 502(i) or 502(l) of ERISA) on Parties in Interest
which engage in non-exempt prohibited transactions or breaches of fiduciary
duties.

   For additional information regarding treatment of the Class A certificates
under ERISA, see "ERISA Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus.

   Benefit Plans should not purchase Class B certificates because the Class B
certificates are subordinate to the Class A certificates.

   See "The Notes" in this prospectus supplement.

Payment Date

   The trust will pay interest and principal on the notes on the fifteenth
calendar day of each month or, if such day is not a business day, on the next
business day. The payments will begin on        ,     and will be made to
holders of record of the notes as of the record date, which will be the day
before the payment date. However, if

                                      S-5
<PAGE>

definitive notes are issued, the record date will be the last day of the
collection period related to the payment date. The collection period with
respect to any payment date is the calendar month immediately preceding the
calendar month in which such payment date occurs. See "The Notes--Payments on
the Notes" in this prospectus supplement and "Description of the Notes--
Definitive Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

Interest on the Notes

   Interest on the Class A-1 notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year and the actual number of days from the previous payment date through the
day before the related payment date. Interest on all other classes of notes
will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months. See "Yield and Prepayment Considerations" and "The Notes--Payments on
the Notes" in this prospectus supplement.

   Class A-1 Monthly Interest. Generally, the amount of monthly interest
distributable to the Class A-1 noteholders on each payment date is the product
of:

      (1) 1/360th of the interest rate for the Class A-1 notes;

      (2) the actual number of days from the previous payment date through
  the day before the related payment date; and

      (3) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class A-1 notes
  on the preceding payment date (after giving effect to all payments to
  noteholders on such date).

   Monthly Interest for Other Notes. Generally, the amount of monthly interest
distributable to each class of noteholders (other than the Class A-1
noteholders) on each payment date is the product of:

      (1) one-twelfth of the interest rate applicable to such class of notes;
  and

      (2) the outstanding principal balance of such class on the preceding
  payment date (after giving effect to all payments to noteholders on such
  date).

   The amount of interest distributable on the first payment date of        ,
    will be based upon the initial aggregate principal balance of the
applicable class of notes and will accrue from the closing date until the day
before the first payment date (and in the case of all of the notes other than
the Class A-1 notes, assuming that the month of the closing date has 30 days).

Note Principal

   The trust will distribute principal on each payment date to the noteholders
of record as of the record date. Generally, the amount of monthly principal the
trust will pay is equal to the decrease in the outstanding principal balance of
the receivables pool during the preceding calendar month. Additional amounts of
available cash flow from the receivables will be used to reduce the outstanding
aggregate principal balances of the notes below the pool balance, until the
pool balance exceeds such aggregate note balances by  % of the initial
aggregate principal balance of the notes or $   . See "The Notes--Payments on
the Notes" in this prospectus supplement.

   Generally, principal will be distributed to the noteholders in the order of
the alpha-numeric designation of each class of the notes, starting with the
Class A-1 notes and ending with the Class B notes. For example, no principal
will be distributed to the Class A-2 noteholders until the outstanding
principal balance of the Class A-1 notes has been reduced to zero. No principal
will be distributed to the Class B noteholders until the principal of all of
the Class A notes has been paid in full.

   The trust must pay the outstanding principal amount of each class of notes,
to the extent not previously paid, by the final maturity date for such class of
notes as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                             Final Maturity Date
                                                             -------------------
<S>                                                          <C>
Class A-1 notes.............................................
Class A-2 notes.............................................
Class A-3 notes.............................................
Class A-4 notes.............................................
Class B notes...............................................
</TABLE>

   Since the rate of payment of principal of each class of notes depends
greatly upon the rate of

                                      S-6
<PAGE>

payment of principal on the receivables (including voluntary prepayments and
principal in respect of defaulted receivables and purchased receivables), the
final payment in respect of each class of notes could occur significantly
earlier than the respective final maturity dates. See "Risk Factors--You May
Incur a Loss if there is a Default Under the Policy" and "The Notes--Payments
on the Notes" in this prospectus supplement.

The Certificate

   In addition to the notes, the trust will issue an automobile receivable
backed certificate pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement. The
certificate represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the trust
and will be retained by the seller. We are not offering the certificate for
sale in this offering.

The Trust Assets

   The trust will pledge its assets to the indenture trustee as collateral for
the repayment of the notes. The trust assets will include:

  . a pool of simple and precomputed interest installment sale and
    installment loan contracts originated in various states in the United
    States of America, secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty
    trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, sport utility vehicles and
    vans;

  . certain monies due in respect of the receivables as of and after        ,
        ;

  . security interests in the related vehicles financed through the
    receivables;

  . funds on deposit in a collection account and a spread account;

  . any proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies relating to the
    financed vehicles or the related obligors;

  . an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy issued by
    guaranteeing payments of principal and interest on the notes; and

  . certain rights under the agreements by which the receivables are sold
    from BVAC to the seller and from the seller to the trust.

   The receivables arise from:

      (1) motor vehicle installment sale contracts that were originated by
  dealers for assignment to BVAC or the Bank (directly or through Ultra
  Funding Corporation ("Ultra"), or Bay View Credit ("BVC"), both of which
  were wholly-owned subsidiaries of BVAC prior to being merged into BVAC on
  June 14, 1999, or California Thrift & Loan ("CTL"), which was renamed Bay
  View Credit on January 2, 1998) or

      (2) motor vehicle loan contracts that were solicited by dealers for
  origination by BVC, the Bank or CTL.

   BVAC will sell all the receivables to be included in the trust to the
seller. The trust will acquire its assets from the seller pursuant to the trust
and servicing agreement. See "Formation of the Trust" in this prospectus
supplement.

   Payment of the amount due to the registered lienholder under each receivable
is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in the related
financed vehicle. BVAC, BVC, the Bank (or its predecessor, Bay View Federal
Bank) or CTL is or will be the registered lienholder (the "Named Lienholders")
on the certificate of title of each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables were selected from the automobile receivable portfolio of
BVAC, based on the criteria specified in the trust and servicing agreement and
described in this prospectus supplement under "The Receivables Pools," and
"Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of
Receivables" in the accompanying prospectus. The underwriting procedures and
standards employed with respect to the receivables are described under "The
Receivables Pools--Underwriting Procedures" in the accompanying prospectus.

Spread Account; Rights of the Certificateholder

   The trust will establish a spread account on the closing date for the
benefit of the noteholders and the insurer. The spread account will hold the
excess, if any, of the collections on the receivables over the

                                      S-7
<PAGE>

amounts which the trust is required to pay to the noteholders, the servicer and
the insurer. The amount of funds available for payment to noteholders on any
payment date will consist of funds from the following sources:

      (1) payments received from obligors in respect of the receivables (net
  of any amount required to be deposited to the payahead account in respect
  of precomputed receivables);

      (2) any net withdrawal from the payahead account in respect of
  precomputed receivables;

      (3) interest earned on funds on deposit in the collection account;

      (4) liquidation proceeds received in respect of receivables;

      (5) advances received from the servicer in respect of interest on
  certain delinquent receivables; and

      (6) amounts received in respect of required repurchases or purchases of
  receivables by BVAC or the servicer.

   The indenture trustee will withdraw funds from the spread account (up to the
amount on deposit in the account) and then draw on the policy, if the amount of
available funds for any payment date is not sufficient to pay:

      (1) the amounts owed to the servicer (including the monthly servicing
  fee and reimbursement for advances made by the servicer to the trust); and

      (2) the required payments of interest and principal to the noteholders.

   If the amount on deposit in the spread account is zero, after any
withdrawals for the benefit of the noteholders, and there is a default under
the policy, any remaining losses on the receivables will be borne directly by
the Class B noteholders (up to the full Class B note balance at the time a loss
is incurred) and then by the Class A noteholders pro rata (to the extent of the
outstanding class or classes of Class A notes at such time). See "Risk
Factors--You May Incur a Loss if there is a Default Under the Policy," "The
Notes--Accounts" and "--Payments on the Notes" in this prospectus supplement.

   The trust will be required to maintain a specified amount on deposit in the
spread account. The required deposit or required spread amount with respect to
any payment date will equal the lesser of:

      (1)  % of the initial principal balance of all classes of notes, or

      (2) the outstanding principal balance of all classes of notes as of the
  previous payment date (after giving effect to all payments of principal to
  noteholders on such date).

   Any amount on deposit in the spread account on any payment date in excess of
the required spread amount (after all other required deposits to and
withdrawals from the spread account have been made) will be distributed to the
certificateholder. Any such distribution to the certificateholder will no
longer be an asset of the trust.

   We intend for the amount on deposit in the spread account to grow over time
to the required spread amount through the deposit of the excess collections, if
any, on the receivables. However, we cannot assure you that the amount on
deposit in the spread account will actually grow to the required spread amount.

   If the average aggregate yield of the receivables in excess of losses falls
below the levels set forth in the insurance and reimbursement agreement among
the seller, the trust, BVAC, in its individual capacity and as servicer, and
the insurer, the required spread amount will be increased to  % of the
aggregate principal balance of the notes. The required spread amount may be
increased:

      (1) if the servicer defaults, fails to perform or breaches a material
  representation under the trust and servicing agreement or the insurance
  agreement; or

      (2) upon the occurrence of certain other events described in the
  insurance agreement generally involving the amount of losses on the
  receivables. See "The Notes--Accounts" and "--The Policy" in this
  prospectus supplement.


                                      S-8
<PAGE>

The Policy

   The seller will obtain an unconditional and irrevocable insurance policy.
Subject to the terms of the policy, the insurer will guarantee the payment of
monthly interest and monthly principal on the notes (exclusive of any
accelerated principal amount) up to the policy amount. See "The Notes--The
Policy" in this prospectus supplement.

Policy Amount

   The policy amount with respect to any payment date will be:

      (1) the sum of:

        (A) the lesser of: (i) the aggregate principal balances of the notes
    (after giving effect to any distribution of available funds and any
    funds withdrawn from the spread account to pay monthly principal on such
    payment date) and (ii) the initial principal balances of the notes minus
    all amounts previously drawn on the policy or withdrawn from the spread
    account with respect to monthly principal, plus

        (B) monthly interest, plus

        (C) the monthly servicing fee;

       less

      (2) all amounts on deposit in the spread account on such payment date
  (after giving effect to any funds withdrawn from the spread account to pay
  monthly principal on such payment date).

Insurer

          is the insurer and will guarantee the payment of monthly interest and
monthly principal (exclusive of any accelerated payments of principal) under
the terms of the policy. See "The Insurer" in this prospectus supplement.

Indenture Default; Control by the Insurer and Noteholders

   Certain events will cause events of default under the indenture. If an
indenture default occurs and the insurer is not in default under the policy,
the insurer may declare the indenture default and control the remedy. If an
indenture default occurs and the insurer is in default under the policy, the
noteholders holding notes evidencing at least two-thirds of the outstanding
principal balances of the notes may declare the indenture default and control
the remedy.

   The party that controls the remedy may give notice of acceleration,
accelerate the payment of principal in respect of the notes and declare the
principal of the notes to be immediately due and payable. The rights and
remedies of the insurer and the noteholders upon the occurrence of an indenture
default may include the right to direct the indenture trustee to liquidate the
property of the trust. The rights and remedies are further described under "The
Indenture--Default Under the Indenture" in the accompanying prospectus. See
also "Risk Factors--Noteholders Have a Limited Right to Declare Indenture
Defaults or Remedies" in this prospectus supplement.

Optional Redemption

   The certificateholder has the right to redeem all of the receivables as of
the last day of any collection period on which the aggregate principal balance
of the receivables pool is equal to or less than 10% of the original pool
balance.

   The purchase price for the optional redemption will be equal to the fair
market value of the receivables; provided that such amount is equal to or
greater than the sum of:

      (1) 100% of the outstanding principal balances of the notes,

      (2) accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balances
  of the notes at the weighted average contract rates of the receivables less
  any payments received but not applied to interest or principal, and

      (3) any amounts due the insurer.

[Increase of the Class A-4 Interest Rate and the Class B Interest Rate

   If the certificateholder does not exercise its rights with respect to the
optional redemption on the first payment date that the optional redemption is
permitted, the Class A-4 interest rate and the Class B interest rate will be
increased by 0.50% after such date.]

Tax Status

   In the opinion of special tax counsel to the seller, for federal income tax
purposes,

  . the Class A notes will be characterized as debt,

  . the Class B notes may be characterized as debt or as equity, and

  . the trust will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation
    or as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation.

   The owner trustee, the noteholders and the certificateholder will agree to
treat the notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes. Should the
Class B notes be characterized as equity, a non-U.S. person tax exempt entity
or an individual who is a Class B noteholder may suffer adverse tax
consequences. Accordingly, such persons may not be suitable investors for the
Class B notes. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in this prospectus
supplement and in the accompanying prospectus.

Ratings

   On the closing date, each class of notes will be issued only if such class
receives ratings from     and    , as follows:

   A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the notes and may be
subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
See "Risk Factors--A Change in the Note Ratings May Adversely Affect the Notes"
in this prospectus supplement.

ERISA Considerations

   The Class A notes may be eligible for purchase by employee benefit plans
subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"). Any benefit plan fiduciary considering the purchase of notes
should, among other things, consult with experienced legal counsel in
determining whether all required conditions for such purchase have been
satisfied. Neither an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code nor an individual retirement account may purchase Class B notes. See
"ERISA Considerations" in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying
prospectus.

                                  RISK FACTORS

   You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and in the
accompanying prospectus as well as the other investment considerations
described in such documents as you decide whether to purchase the notes.

You May Not be Able to         There is currently no secondary market for the
Resell the Notes               notes. The underwriters intend to make a market
                               to enable resale of the notes, but are not
                               obligated to do so. As such, we cannot assure
                               you that a secondary market will develop for
                               your notes or, if one does develop, that such
                               market will provide you with liquidity of
                               investment or that it will continue for the
                               life of your notes.

                               The amount on deposit in the spread account may
                               increase over time to an amount equal to the
                               required spread amount. We cannot assure you
                               that such growth will occur or that the balance
                               in the spread account will always be sufficient
                               to assure payment in full of monthly interest

                               classes of notes which pay principal to

                 THE SELLER AND BAY VIEW ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION

   BVAC is an automotive finance company engaged primarily in the indirect
financing (the purchase of loan contracts from dealers) of automobile purchases
by individuals. BVAC currently acquires receivables from over 3,800
manufacturer franchised automobile dealerships in 14 states. For the fiscal
years ended     ,   ,     ,    , and the     months ended     ,    ,    BVAC
and/or the other Named Lienholders acquired motor vehicle loans aggregating $
   million, $    million, $    million and $    million, respectively. At
       ,     the servicing portfolio of BVAC (consisting of the principal
balance of receivables held to maturity and securitized receivables) totaled
approximately $    million. The seller is a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote
subsidiary of BVCC.

                             FORMATION OF THE TRUST

   The trust is a business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware
under a trust and servicing agreement between the seller, the servicer and the
owner trustee. The trust was formed solely for the purpose of accomplishing the
transactions described in this prospectus supplement. Upon formation, the trust
will not engage in any business activity other than:

  . acquiring, managing and holding the receivables and related interests
    described in this prospectus supplement;

  . issuing the notes and the certificate;

  . making payments and distributions on the notes and the certificate; and

  . engaging in those activities, including entering into agreements, that
    are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the above listed
    activities or are incidental to those activities.

   Pursuant to an indenture between the trust and the indenture trustee, the
trust will grant a security interest in the trust assets in favor of the
indenture trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of the noteholders and the
insurer.

   The seller will transfer the trust assets to the owner trustee in exchange
for the cash proceeds of the notes and the certificate. The seller will retain
the certificate. BVAC will service the receivables pursuant to the trust

                                      S-13
<PAGE>

and servicing agreement and will receive compensation for acting as the
servicer. To facilitate servicing and to minimize administrative burden and
expense, the servicer will serve as custodian of the receivables for the owner
trustee. However, the servicer will not stamp the receivables to reflect the
sale and assignment of the receivables to the trust or the indenture trustee or
make any notation of the indenture trustee's lien on the certificates of title
of the financed vehicles. In the absence of such notation on the certificates
of title, the trust or the indenture trustee may not have perfected security
interests in the financed vehicles securing the receivables. Under the terms of
the trust and servicing agreement, BVAC may delegate its duties as servicer and
custodian; however, any such delegation will not relieve BVAC of its liability
and responsibility with respect to such duties. See "Description of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Servicing Compensation and Payment of
Expenses" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables" in the accompanying
prospectus.

   The trust will establish a spread account for the benefit of the noteholders
and the insurer and will obtain the policy. The indenture trustee will draw on
the policy, up to the Policy Amount, if Available Funds and the amount on
deposit in the spread account (after paying amounts owed to the servicer) are
not sufficient to fully distribute Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal. If
the spread account is reduced to zero and there is a default under the policy,
the trust will look only to the obligors on the receivables and the proceeds
from the repossession and sale of financed vehicles that secure defaulted
receivables for payments of interest and principal on the notes. In such event,
certain factors, such as the indenture trustee not having perfected security
interests in some of the financed vehicles, may affect the trust's ability to
realize on the collateral securing the receivables, and thus may reduce the
proceeds to be distributed to the noteholders. See "The Notes-- Accounts," "--
The Policy" and "--Payments on the Notes" in this prospectus supplement and
"Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables" in the accompanying prospectus.

                              THE RECEIVABLES POOL

General

   The receivables were acquired by BVAC or a Named Lienholder from dealers or
originated by BVAC or a Named Lienholder through dealers in the ordinary course
of business. One of the Named Lienholders will be the registered lienholder on
the certificates of title to each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables were selected from the portfolio of BVAC for purchase by the
seller according to several criteria, including that each receivable:

  . is secured by a new or used vehicle;

  . provides for level monthly payments (except for the initial down payment,
    which may be different from the level payments) that fully amortize the
    amount financed over the original term to maturity of the receivable;

  . is a precomputed receivable or a simple interest receivable;

  . has an original term to stated maturity of not more than   months and not
    less than   months;

  . has a remaining term to stated maturity of not more than   months and not
    less than   months; and

  . has a contract rate of interest (exclusive of prepaid finance charges) of
    not less than  %.

   The weighted average remaining term to stated maturity of the receivables
was approximately   months as of        ,    .

   Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the receivables as of
       ,     are simple interest contracts which provide for equal monthly
payments. Approximately  % of the aggregate principal balance of the
receivables as of BVAC are precomputed receivables originated in the State of
California. All of such precomputed receivables are rule of 78's receivables.

aggregate principal balance of the receivables as of BVAC represent financing
of new vehicles; the remainder of the receivables represent financing of used
vehicles.

   Receivables representing more than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of
the receivables as of     ,     were originated in the States of        ,
       and       . The performance of the receivables in the aggregate could be

                      YIELD AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS

   Monthly Interest will be distributed to noteholders on each payment date to
the extent of the interest rate applicable to each class of notes applied to
the aggregate principal balance for each class of notes, as of the preceding
payment date or the closing date, as applicable (after giving effect to
payments of principal on such preceding payment date). See "The Notes--Payments
on the Notes" in this prospectus supplement.

   Upon a full or partial prepayment on a receivable, noteholders should
receive interest for the full month of such prepayment either:

    (1) through the distribution of interest paid on the receivables;

    (2) from a withdrawal from the spread account;

    (3) by an advance from the servicer; or

    (4) by a draw on the policy.

   Although the receivables will have different contract rates, the contract
rate of each receivable generally will exceed the sum of:

  (1) the weighted average of the Class A-1 interest rate, the Class A-2
      interest rate, the Class A-3 interest rate, the Class A-4 interest rate
      and the Class B interest rate;

    (2) the per annum rate used to calculate the insurance premium paid to the
insurer; and

    (3) the per annum rate used to calculate the monthly servicing fee.

   However, the contract rate on a small percentage of the receivables will be
less than the foregoing sum. Disproportionate rates of prepayments between
receivables with higher and lower contract rates could affect the ability of
the trust to pay Monthly Interest to you.

                                   THE NOTES

   The notes will be issued by the trust pursuant to the indenture and the
certificate will be issued pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement. You
may request a copy of these agreements (without exhibits) by contacting the
servicer at the address set forth under "Reports to Noteholders" in this
prospectus supplement. We do not claim that the following summary is complete.
For a more detailed description of the agreements, you should read the
indenture and the trust and servicing agreement.

Sale and Assignment of Receivables

   We have described the conveyance of the receivables (1) from BVAC to the
seller pursuant to a purchase agreement between BVAC and the seller, (2) from
the seller to the trust pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement and (3)
from the trust to the indenture trustee pursuant to the indenture in the
accompanying prospectus under the heading "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of Receivables."

   In addition to the collection account, the property of the trust will
include the spread account and the payahead account.

   Spread Account. On the closing date, the indenture trustee will establish
the spread account for the benefit of the noteholders and the insurer. The
amount held in the spread account will increase up to the required spread
amount by the deposit of payments on the receivables not used to make payments
to the noteholders, the insurer and the servicer for the monthly servicing fee
and any permitted reimbursements of

                                      S-19
<PAGE>

outstanding advances on any payment date. Although we intend for the amount on
deposit in the spread account to grow over time to equal the required spread
amount through monthly deposits of any excess collections on the receivables,
we cannot assure you that such growth will actually occur. On each payment
date, any amounts on deposit in the spread account after the payment of any
amounts owed to the noteholders and the insurer in excess of the required
spread amount will be distributed to the certificateholder.

   Under the terms of the indenture, the indenture trustee will withdraw funds
from the spread account, up to the amount on deposit in such account, and
transfer such funds to the collection account for any deficiency of Monthly
Interest or Monthly Principal as further described below under "--Payments on
the Notes," prior to making any draw on the policy.

   In the event that the balance of the spread account is reduced to zero and
there is a default under the policy on any payment date, the trust will depend
solely on current distributions on the receivables to make payments of
principal and interest on the notes. In addition, because the market value of
motor vehicles generally declines with age and because of difficulties that may
been countered in enforcing motor vehicle contracts as described in the
accompanying prospectus under "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables," the
servicer may not recover the entire amount due on such receivables in the event
of a repossession and resale of a financed vehicle securing a receivable in
default. In such event, the Class B noteholders may suffer a corresponding loss
up to the extent of the outstanding principal balance of the Class B notes at
such time. Any remaining losses will be borne pro rata by the Class A
noteholders (based upon the then relative outstanding principal balance of each
class of Class A notes).

   Payahead Account. The servicer will establish a payahead account in the name
of the indenture trustee on behalf of obligors on the receivables and the
noteholders. The payahead account will initially be maintained with the
indenture trustee. To the extent required by the trust and servicing agreement,
early payments by or on behalf of obligors on precomputed receivables will be
deposited in the payahead account until such time as the payment becomes due.
Until such time as payments are transferred from the payahead account to the
collection account, they will not constitute collected interest or collected
principal and will not be available for payment to noteholders. We will pay the
interest earned on the balance in the payahead account to the servicer each
month. We will apply collections received with respect to a precomputed
receivable during a collection period first to any overdue scheduled payment on
such receivable, then to the scheduled payment on such receivable due in such
collection period. If the amount collected on a precomputed receivable exceeds
the amount required for any overdue scheduled payment or scheduled payment, but
is insufficient to prepay the precomputed receivable in full, then generally
such excess collections will be transferred to and kept in the payahead account
until such amount may be applied either to a later scheduled payment or to
prepay such receivable in full.

Advances

   With respect to each receivable delinquent more than 30 days at the end of a
collection period, the servicer will make an advance in an amount equal to 30
days of interest but only if the servicer, in its sole discretion, expects to
recover the advance from subsequent collections on the receivable. The servicer
will deposit the advance in the collection account on or before the second
business day before the payment date. The servicer will recover its advance
from subsequent payments by or on behalf of the respective obligor, from
insurance proceeds or, upon the servicer's determination that reimbursement
from the preceding sources is unlikely, will recover its advance from any
collections made on other receivables.

Payments on the Notes

   Available Funds. The servicer will deposit in the collection account the
aggregate principal payments, including full and partial prepayments (except
certain prepayments in respect of precomputed receivables as described above
under "--Accounts") received on all receivables with respect to the preceding
collection period. The funds available for distribution on the next payment
date ("Available Funds") will consist of:

  . all payments on the simple interest receivables;

  . the scheduled payments received from obligors on precomputed receivables;

                                      S-20
<PAGE>

  . interest earned on funds on deposit in the collection account;

  . the net amount to be transferred from the payahead account to the
    collection account for the related payment date;

  . all advances for such collection period; and

  . the purchase amount for all receivables that were purchased or
    repurchased by BVAC or the servicer during the preceding collection
    period.

   As an administrative convenience, the servicer will be permitted to make the
deposit of collections and aggregate advances and purchase amounts for or with
respect to the collection period net of distributions to be made to the
servicer with respect to the collection period (as described below). The
servicer, however, will account to the indenture trustee and to the noteholders
as if all deposits and distributions were made individually.

   The servicer will determine the amount of funds necessary to make payments
of Monthly Principal and Monthly Interest to the holders of the notes and to
pay the monthly servicing fee to the servicer. If there is a deficiency with
respect to Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal on any payment date, after
giving effect to payments of the monthly servicing fee and permitted
reimbursements of outstanding advances to the servicer on such payment date, or
if there is a deficiency with respect to the monthly servicing fee, the
servicer will direct the indenture trustee to withdraw amounts from the spread
account, up to the amount on deposit in such account. If there remains a
deficiency of Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal or the monthly servicing
fee after such a withdrawal, the servicer will notify the indenture trustee of
the remaining deficiency, and the indenture trustee will draw on the policy, up
to the Policy Amount, to pay Monthly Interest, Monthly Principal, and the
monthly servicing fee. Additionally, if the Available Funds for a payment date
are not sufficient to pay current and past due insurance premiums and other
amounts owed to the insurer pursuant to the insurance agreement, plus accrued
interest thereon, the servicer will notify the indenture trustee and the owner
trustee of such deficiency. The amount, if any, then on deposit in the spread
account (after giving effect to any withdrawal to satisfy a deficiency
described in this and the preceding sentences) will be available to cover such
deficiency.

   Payments. On each payment date, the indenture trustee will use the Available
Funds (plus any amounts withdrawn from the spread account or drawn on the
policy, as applicable) to make the following payments in the following
priority:

  (a) without duplication, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the amount of
      outstanding advances in respect of receivables that became defaulted
      receivables during the prior collection period plus (2) the amount of
      outstanding advances in respect of receivables that the servicer
      determines to be unrecoverable, to the servicer;

  (b) the monthly servicing fee, including any overdue monthly servicing fee,
      to the servicer, to the extent not previously distributed to the
      servicer;

  (c) Class A Monthly Interest to the Class A noteholders;

  (d) Monthly Principal to the Class A noteholders, in accordance with the
      Principal Payment Sequence;

  (e) Class B Monthly Interest to the Class B noteholders;

  (f) Monthly Principal to the Class B noteholders, in accordance with the
      Principal Payment Sequence (only after the principal balances of the
      Class A notes have been repaid in full);

  (g) the insurance premium, including any overdue insurance premium, plus
      any accrued interest to the insurer;

  (h) the amount of recoveries of advances (to the extent such recoveries
      have not previously been reimbursed to the servicer pursuant to clause
      (a) above), to the servicer;

                                      S-21
<PAGE>

  (i) the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed draws on the policy payable to
      the insurer under the insurance agreement, for Monthly Interest,
      Monthly Principal and any other amounts owing to the insurer under the
      insurance agreement, plus accrued interest thereon; and

  (j) the balance into the spread account.

   After all distributions pursuant to clauses (a) through (j) above have been
made for each payment date, the servicer will determine the amount of funds
remaining in the spread account on such date. If the funds in the spread
account exceed the required spread amount, the indenture trustee will
distribute any such excess to the owner trustee for distribution to the
certificateholder or will distribute such excess directly to the
certificateholder. Any amounts so distributed to the certificateholder will no
longer be property of the trust and will not be available to make payments to
you.

   Accelerated Payments Following Indenture Default. If the notes are
accelerated following an indenture default, amounts collected will be applied
in the following priority:

  (a) first, to pay any unpaid monthly servicing fee;

  (b) second, to pay any accrued and unpaid fees of the indenture trustee and
      the owner trustee without preference or priority of any kind;

  (c) third, to pay accrued interest on each class of Class A notes on a pro
      rata basis based on the interest accrued (including interest accrued on
      past due interest) on each class of Class A notes;

  (d) fourth, to pay principal on each class of Class A notes, on a pro rata
      basis based on the aggregate principal balance of each class of Class A
      notes, until the aggregate principal balance of each class of Class A
      notes is reduced to zero;

  (e) fifth, to pay accrued interest on the Class B notes (including accrued
      interest on past due interest);

  (f) sixth, to pay principal on the Class B notes until the aggregate
      principal balance of the Class B notes is reduced to zero;

  (g) seventh, to pay amounts owing the insurer under the insurance
      agreement; and

  (h) eighth, to the spread account, to be applied in accordance with the
      insurance agreement.

   Definitions. The following defined terms are used in this "Payments on the
Notes" section.

   "Monthly Principal" for any payment date will equal the sum of the
following:

  1. the amount by which the aggregate principal balance of the receivables
     pool declined during the related collection period;

  2. the amount, if any, which is necessary to reduce the principal balance
     of a class of notes to zero on its final maturity date; and

  3. the Accelerated Principal Amount.

   For the purpose of determining Monthly Principal, the unpaid principal
balance of a defaulted receivable or a receivable required to be purchased or
repurchased by BVAC or the servicer will be zero as of the end of the
collection period in which such receivable became a defaulted receivable or a
purchased receivable. In no event will Monthly Principal exceed the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the notes.

   A defaulted receivable for any collection period is a receivable as to which
any of the following has occurred:

  (1) any payment, or part thereof, is 120 days or more delinquent as of the
      last day of such collection period;

                                      S-22
<PAGE>

  (2) the financed vehicle that secures the receivable has been repossessed
      and liquidated; or

  (3) the receivable has been determined to be uncollectable in accordance
      with the servicer's customary practices on or prior to the last day of
      such collection period; provided, however, that any receivable which
      the seller or the servicer is obligated to repurchase or purchase
      pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement shall be deemed not to be
      a defaulted receivable unless not repurchased within the time period
      provided for in the trust and servicing agreement.

   "Accelerated Principal Amount" means, for any payment date, after giving
effect to all payments of interest and principal (other than any Accelerated
Principal Amount) to the noteholders, an amount equal to the lesser of:

  (1) the Available Excess Funds or

  (2) the amount necessary to reduce the aggregate principal balances of the
      notes below the aggregate principal balance of the receivables pool as
      of the end of the related collection period until the aggregate
      principal balance of the receivables pool exceeds the aggregate
      principal balance of the notes by  % of the initial aggregate principal
      balance of notes or $     .

   "Available Excess Funds" for any payment date means the amount of Available
Funds remaining from such payment date after paying the servicer, the
noteholders and the insurer the amounts they are entitled to receive, without
considering the amount of the Monthly Principal payment in respect of the
Accelerated Principal Amount.

   "Monthly Interest" for any payment date will equal the sum of Class A
Monthly Interest and Class B Monthly Interest for such payment date and the
related collection period.

   "Class A Monthly Interest" means the sum of Class A-1 Monthly Interest,
Class A-2 Monthly Interest, Class A-3 Monthly Interest and Class A-4 Monthly
Interest.

   "Class A-1 Monthly Interest" means, for any payment date, the product of the
following:

    (a) one-three hundred sixtieth (1/360th) of the Class A-1 interest
        rate,

    (b) the actual number of days from the previous payment date or, in the
        case of the first payment date, from the closing date through the
        day before the related payment date, and

    (c) the aggregate principal balance of the Class A-1notes as of the
        immediately preceding payment date or, in the case of the first
        payment date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
        distribution of Monthly Principal made on such payment date).

   "Class A-2 Monthly Interest" means for any payment date, the product of the
following:

    (a) one-twelfth of the Class A-2 interest rate, and

    (b) the aggregate principal balance of the Class A-2 notes as of the
        immediately preceding payment date or, in the case of the first
        payment date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
        distribution of Monthly Principal made on such payment date).

   "Class A-3 Monthly Interest" means, for any payment date, the product of the
following:

    (a) one-twelfth of the Class A-3 interest rate, and

    (b) the aggregate principal balance of the Class A-3 notes as of the
        immediately preceding payment date or, in the case of the first
        payment date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
        distribution of Monthly Principal made on such payment date).

   "Class A-4 Monthly Interest" means, for any payment date, the product of the
following:

    (a) one-twelfth of the Class A-4 interest rate, and

    (b) the aggregate principal balance of the Class A-4 notes as of the
        immediately preceding payment date or, in the case of the first
        payment date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
        distribution of Monthly Principal made on such payment date).

                                      S-23
<PAGE>

   "Class B Monthly Interest" means, for any payment date, the product of the
following:

      (a) one-twelfth of the Class B interest rate, and

      (b) the aggregate principal balance of the Class B notes as of the
          immediately preceding payment date or, in the case of the first
          payment date, the closing date (after giving effect to any
          distribution of Monthly Principal made on such payment date).

   "Principal Payment Sequence" means the order in which Monthly Principal will
be distributed among the noteholders. The order of distribution of Monthly
Principal is:

  (1) to the Class A-1 noteholders until the aggregate principal balance of
      the Class A-1 notes has been reduced to zero;

  (2) to the Class A-2 noteholders until the aggregate principal balance of
      the Class A-2 notes has been reduced to zero;

  (3) to the Class A-3 noteholders until the aggregate principal balance of
      the Class A-3 notes has been reduced to zero;

  (4) to the Class A-4 noteholders until the aggregate principal balance of
      the Class A-4 notes has been reduced to zero; and

  (5) to the Class B noteholders until the aggregate principal balance of the
      Class B notes has been reduced to zero.

   However, if the amount of Available Funds (together with amounts withdrawn
from the spread account and/or the policy) are not sufficient to pay the
required payment of Class A Monthly Principal to Class A noteholders in full on
any payment date, the amount of such funds available to pay Class A Monthly
Principal to Class A noteholders will be distributed pro rata to the Class A
noteholders based upon the relative aggregate principal balance of each class
of Class A notes.

   Example of Payment Date Activities. The following chart sets forth an
example of the application of the foregoing provisions to the first payment
date on         :

      ,                        Collection Period. The collection period is the
                               calendar month preceding the payment date. The
                               servicer receives monthly payments,
                               prepayments, and other proceeds in respect of
                               the receivables and deposits them in the
                               collection account. The servicer may deduct the
                               monthly servicing fee from such deposits.

      ,                        Determination Date. The determination date is
                               the second business day before the payment
                               date. On or before this date, the servicer
                               delivers the servicer's certificate setting
                               forth the amounts to be distributed on the
                               payment date and the amounts of any
                               deficiencies. If necessary, the indenture
                               trustee notifies the insurer of any draws in
                               respect of the policy.

      ,                        Record Date. The record date is the day before
                               the payment date. Payments on the payment date
                               are made to noteholders of record at the close
                               of business on this date.

      ,                        Payment Date. The payment date is the fifteenth
                               calendar day of the month, or if such day is
                               not a business day, the first business day
                               thereafter. The indenture trustee withdraws
                               funds from the collection account and, as
                               necessary, from the spread account and then
                               draws on the policy, if necessary, to pay
                               Monthly Interest and

                                      S-24
<PAGE>

                               Monthly Principal (exclusive of any Accelerated
                               Principal Amount, in the case of a draw on the
                               policy) to the noteholders as described in this
                               prospectus supplement. The indenture trustee
                               distributes the portion of Monthly Interest and
                               Monthly Principal to the noteholders, pays the
                               monthly servicing fee to the extent not
                               previously paid, pays the insurance premium and
                               all other amounts owing to the insurer.

Distributions on the Certificate

   The certificate will be in the form of a trust certificate initially issued
to the seller and will entitle the seller to receive all funds held in the
spread account in excess of the required spread amount on each payment date
after payment of all amounts owed to the noteholders, the servicer and the
insurer. On or after the termination of the trust, the certificateholder is
entitled to receive any amounts remaining in the spread account (only after all
required payments to the insurer are made) after the payment of expenses and
payments to the noteholders. See "--Accounts" and "--Payments on the Notes"
above.

The Policy

   On or before the closing date, the seller, the trust and BVAC, in its
individual capacity and as servicer, and the insurer will enter into the
insurance agreement pursuant to which the insurer will issue an unconditional
and irrevocable insurance policy. Subject to the terms of the policy, the
insurer will guarantee the payment of Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal
(exclusive of any Accelerated Principal Amount) up to the Policy Amount. Under
the terms of the indenture, after withdrawal of any amounts in the spread
account with respect to a payment date to pay a deficiency in Monthly Interest
or Monthly Principal, the indenture trustee will be authorized to draw on the
policy for the benefit of the noteholders and credit the collection account for
such draws as described above under "--Payments on the Notes."

   The maximum amount that may be drawn under the policy on any payment date is
limited to the policy amount for such payment date. The policy amount with
respect to any payment date will equal:

  (1) the sum of:

    (A) the lesser of: (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balances of
        the notes (after giving effect to any distribution of Available
        Funds and any funds withdrawn from the spread account to pay
        Monthly Principal on such payment date) and (ii) the initial
        aggregate principal balances of the notes minus all amounts
        previously drawn on the policy or withdrawn from the spread account
        with respect to Monthly Principal, plus

    (B) Monthly Interest, plus

    (C) the monthly servicing fee;
  less

  (2) all amounts on deposit in the spread account on such payment date
      (after giving effect to any funds withdrawn from the spread account to
      pay Monthly Principal on such payment date).

   The policy will also cover any amount paid or required to be paid by the
trust to noteholders that is sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by
a trustee in bankruptcy of BVAC or the seller pursuant to the United States
Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.), as amended from time to time, in accordance with a
final nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction.

   The insurer will be entitled to receive the insurance premium and certain
other amounts on each payment date as described under "--Payments on the Notes"
and to receive amounts on deposit in the spread account as described above
under "--Accounts." The insurance premium for any payment date will be one-
twelfth of the

                                      S-25
<PAGE>

product of the policy per annum fee rate set forth in the insurance agreement
and the aggregate principal balances of the notes calculated as of the last day
of the collection period to which such payment date relates and payable monthly
in arrears. The insurer will not be entitled to reimbursement of any amounts
from the noteholders. The insurer's obligation under the policy is irrevocable
and unconditional. The insurer will have no obligation to the noteholders or
the indenture trustee other than its obligations under the policy.

   If the balance in the spread account is reduced to zero and there has been a
default under the policy, the trust will depend solely on current collections
on the receivables to make payments of principal and interest on the notes. In
addition, because the market value of motor vehicles generally declines with
age and because of difficulties that may be encountered in enforcing motor
vehicle contracts as described in the accompanying prospectus under "Certain
Legal Aspects of the Receivables," the servicer may not recover the entire
amount due on such receivables in the event of a repossession and resale of a
financed vehicle securing a receivable in default. In such event, first, the
Class B noteholders and second, the Class A noteholders may suffer a
corresponding loss. Any such losses of the Class A noteholders will be borne
pro rata based upon the relative principal balances of the outstanding classes
of Class A notes. See "--Payments on the Notes" above.

Default under the Indenture

   If one of the events of default under the indenture described in the
accompanying prospectus occurs, either the insurer or, in certain limited
circumstances, the noteholders may declare an indenture default. The insurer
will control the remedy for an indenture default, unless the insurer is in
default under the policy, in which case the noteholders will control the
remedy. The party who declares the indenture default may give notice and
accelerate the payment of principal in respect of the notes, declaring the
principal on the notes immediately due and payable. The rights and remedies of
the insurer and the noteholders may include the right to direct the indenture
trustee to liquidate the property of the trust. See "Risk Factors--Noteholders
Have a Limited Right to Declare Indenture Defaults or Remedies" in this
prospectus supplement and "The Indenture--Default under the Indenture" in the
accompanying prospectus.

Rights of the Insurer upon Servicer Default, Amendment or Waiver

   Upon the occurrence of an event of default by the servicer under the trust
and servicing agreement, the insurer, or the owner trustee upon the consent of
the insurer, will be entitled to appoint a successor servicer. In addition to
the events constituting a servicer default as described in the accompanying
prospectus, the trust and servicing agreement will also permit the insurer to
appoint a successor servicer and to redirect payments made under the
receivables to the indenture trustee upon the occurrence of certain additional
events involving a failure of performance by the servicer or a material
misrepresentation made by the servicer under the insurance agreement.

   The trust and servicing agreement cannot be amended or any provisions
thereof waived without the consent of the insurer if such amendment or waiver
would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the insurer.

                                  THE INSURER

               [Information about the insurer will be provided.]

                             REPORTS TO NOTEHOLDERS

   Unless and until definitive notes are issued (which will occur only under
the limited circumstances described in the accompanying prospectus),       , as
indenture trustee, will provide monthly and annual statements concerning the
trust and the notes to Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company,
as registered holder of the notes. Such statements will not constitute
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A copy of the most recent monthly or annual statement concerning
the trust and the notes may be obtained by contacting the servicer at Bay View
Acceptance Corporation, 818 Oak Park Road, Covina, California 91724 (telephone
(800) 524-9292).

   Set forth below is a summary of certain United States federal income tax
considerations relevant to the beneficial owner of a note that holds the note
as a capital asset and, unless otherwise indicated below, is a U.S. Person (as
defined in the accompanying prospectus). This summary does not address special
tax rules which may apply to certain types of investors, and investors that
hold notes as part of an integrated investment. This summary supplements the
discussion contained in the accompanying prospectus under the heading "Federal
Income Tax Consequences," and supercedes that discussion to the extent that the
two discussions are not consistent. The authorities on which we based this
discussion are subject to change or differing interpretations, and any such
change or interpretation could apply retroactively. This discussion reflects
the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), as well as regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Treasury.
You should consult your own tax advisors in determining the federal, state,
local and any other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition
of the Notes.

   Characterization of the Notes. There are no regulations, published rulings
or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for federal income tax
purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of
the notes. A basic premise of United States federal income tax law is that the
economic substance of a transaction generally will determine the federal income
tax consequences of such transaction. The determination of whether the economic
substance of a loan secured by an interest in property is instead a sale of a
beneficial ownership interest in such property has been made by the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS") and the courts on the basis of numerous factors
designed to determine whether the trust has relinquished (and the investor has
obtained) substantial incidents of ownership in such property. Among those
factors, the primary factors examined are whether the investor has the
opportunity to gain if the property increases in value, and has the risk of
loss if the property decreases in value. Based on an assessment of these
factors, in the opinion of Silver, Freedman & Taff, L.L.P., special counsel to
the seller, the Class A notes will be treated as indebtedness and the Class B
notes may either be treated as indebtedness or as an equity interest in the
trust for federal income tax purposes. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in
the accompanying prospectus. Except as set forth below under "--Alternative
Treatment of the Class B Notes," the remainder of this discussion assumes that
the Class B notes are debt for federal income tax purposes. Prospective
investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the characterization of
the Class B notes.

   Classification of the Trust. In the opinion of Silver, Freedman & Taff,
L.L.P., special counsel to the seller, the trust will not be treated as an
association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes, but rather will be disregarded as a separate
entity and treated as a mere security device when there is a single beneficial
owner of the trust, or will be treated as a domestic partnership when there are
two or more beneficial owners of the trust, including the case where the Class
B notes are treated as equity interests in the trust.

Discount and Premium

   For federal income tax reporting purposes, it is anticipated that the notes
[(other than the class [  ] notes)] will not be treated as having been issued
with original issue discount. [The class [  ] notes will not bear stated
interest and the original issue discount thereon will equal all amounts
scheduled to be paid thereon

                                      S-27
<PAGE>

over their issue price.] The prepayment assumption that will be used in
determining the rate of accrual of original issue discount and of market
discount and premium, if any, for federal income tax purposes will be based on
the assumption that subsequent to the date of any determination the receivables
will prepay at [  %] ABS, and there will be no extensions of maturity for any
receivable. However, no representation is made as to the rate, if any, at which
the receivables will prepay. The IRS has issued regulations under Sections 1271
and 1275 of the Code generally addressing the treatment of debt instruments
issued with original issue discount. You should know that the original issue
discount regulations and Section 1272(a)(6) of the Code do not adequately
address certain issues relevant to, or are not applicable to, securities such
as the notes. Prospective purchasers of the notes are advised to consult with
their tax advisors concerning the tax treatment of the notes.

   Certain classes of the notes may be treated for federal income tax purposes
as having been issued at a premium. Whether any holder of such a class of notes
will be treated as holding notes with amortizable bond premium will depend on
the noteholder's purchase price and the payments remaining to be made on such
note at the time of its acquisition by such noteholder. You should consult your
own tax advisors regarding the possibility of making an election to amortize
such premium on such classes of notes.

Gain or Loss on Disposition

   If you sell a note, you must recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
between the amount realized from the sale and your adjusted basis in such note.
The adjusted basis generally will equal your cost of such note, increased by
any original issue discount included in your ordinary gross income with respect
to the note and reduced (but not below zero) by any payments on the note
previously received or accrued by you (other than qualified stated interest
payments) and any amortizable premium. Similarly, when you receive a principal
payment with respect to a note, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the
difference between the amount of the payment and the allocable portion of your
adjusted basis in the note. Such gain or loss will generally be a long-term
capital gain or loss if you held the note for more than one year.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

   Payments of interest and principal, as well as payments of proceeds from the
sale of notes, may be subject to the "backup withholding tax" under Section
3406 of the Code at a rate of 31% if you fail to furnish to the trust certain
information, including your taxpayer identification number, or otherwise fail
to establish an exemption from such tax. Any amounts deducted and withheld from
a payment should be allowed as a credit against your federal income tax.
Furthermore, certain penalties may be imposed by the IRS on a recipient of
payments that is required to supply information but that does not do so in the
proper manner.

   We will report to noteholders and to the IRS for each calendar year the
amount of any "reportable payments" during such year and the amount of tax
withheld, if any, with respect to payments on the notes.

Withholding Regulations Effective December 31, 2000

   On October 6, 1997, the Treasury Department issued new regulations which
make certain modifications to the withholding rules for investors who are Non-
U.S. Persons (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) and the backup
withholding and information reporting rules described above. The regulations
attempt to unify certification requirements and modify reliance standards. Such
regulations will generally be effective for payments made after December 31,
2000, subject to certain transaction rules. You are urged to consult your tax
advisors regarding the new regulations.

   See "-- Alternative Treatment of the Class B Notes" below, concerning the
possible application of withholding tax with respect to Class B notes held by
Non-U.S. Persons.

Alternative Treatment of the Class B Notes

   If the Class B notes are treated as equity (partnership) interests rather
than indebtedness, while the aggregate amount of income reportable by an
investor should not differ over the life of the obligation, the

                                      S-28
<PAGE>

timing and character of such income could differ significantly. It is possible
that payments on the Class B notes would be treated as "guaranteed payments"
under the Code to the extent of the amount of interest and any discount
accrued, and a return of capital as to any excess. To the extent payments are
so characterized, a Class B noteholder who is a U.S. Person would be subject to
federal income tax in substantially the same manner, except for timing and
income characterization differences, as if the Class B notes were treated as
debt.

   If a Class B noteholder's ownership of a Class B note is characterized as an
equity interest but payments thereon are not treated as "guaranteed payments",
it is unclear how its distributable share of partnership income would be
calculated. A Class B noteholder may be allocated a share of net income of the
partnership equal to the amount of interest and discount income that accrued on
the Class B notes for the applicable period. A Class B noteholder would be
subject to federal income taxes on such income even though it may not have
received an equivalent amount of cash from the partnership, for example,
because of defaults or delinquencies on the trust assets. The characterization
of an item of income or loss (e.g., as dividends, as interest, as rental income
or as capital gain or loss as opposed to ordinary income or loss) will usually
be the same for the Class B noteholder as it is for the partnership.

   It is not known whether any of the receivables were issued with original
issue discount greater than a de minimis amount. If any of such trust assets
were in fact issued at greater than de minimis discount or are otherwise
treated as issued with original issue discount under the Treasury regulations,
an amount of income will be imputed to the trust with respect to such trust
assets. In general, aggregate amount of original issue discount imputed to the
trust with respect to each such trust asset will be the excess of the "stated
redemption price at maturity" of such asset over its original issue price. The
trust would have to include original issue discount in income as interest over
the term of the respective trust asset possessing original issue discount under
a constant yield method. In general, original issue discount must be included
in income in advance of the receipt of cash representing that income. As
indicated above, Class B noteholders may be allocated items of income of the
trust in the event that such Class B noteholder's income is not treated as
"guaranteed payments". Such allocated income would include any original issue
discount determined to exist with respect to any of the trust assets. Each
Class B noteholder should consult its own tax adviser regarding the impact to
it of the original issue discount rules as applied to the trust and the impact
of such with respect to such Class B noteholders. Some receivables may not have
been issued with original issue discount, but, rather, may have been issued
with "unstated interest" as determined under Section 483 of the Code. In this
event, such unstated interest will be treated in a manner similar to original
issue discount.

   Moreover, the purchase price paid by the trust for receivables may be
greater or less than the remaining principal balance of the receivables at the
time of purchase. If so, such trust assets will have been acquired at a premium
or discount, as the case may be. Accordingly, in a manner similar to original
issue discount, a Class B noteholder may be allocated a portion of such market
discount income or premium amortization in the event that such Class B
noteholder's income is not treated as "guaranteed payments". Each Class B
noteholder should consult its own tax adviser regarding the impact to it of the
market discount and premium rules as applied to the trust and the impact of
such with respect to such Class B noteholder.

   A Class B noteholder will not be able to deduct its share of losses on the
trust assets (to the extent otherwise deductible under the Code) to the extent
that such losses exceed its adjusted basis in its partnership interest (i.e.,
the Class B note). In addition, Class B noteholders who are individuals or
certain closely held corporations (and certain other taxpayers) may be subject
to other limitations on losses or deductions including the at risk limitations,
the passive loss rules, the limitation on the deduction of investment interest,
the limitation on deduction of non-business bad debts, and the limitation on
the deduction of certain miscellaneous itemized non-trade or business expenses
to the extent they do not, in the aggregate, exceed two percent of the
taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Such taxpayers should consult their tax
advisor concerning the various limitations on losses that may be applicable to
an investment in a Class B note.

   All or a portion of any taxable income allocated to a Class B noteholder
that is a pension, profit-sharing or employee benefit plan or other tax-exempt
entity (including an individual retirement account) may constitute "unrelated
business taxable income" which generally would be taxable to the holder under
the Code.

                                      S-29
<PAGE>

   If the Class B notes are treated as equity (partnership) interests for
income tax purposes, a Class B noteholder who is a Non-U.S. Person may be
subject to withholding tax on its share of the income of the trust.

   In view of the foregoing treatment of individuals, certain closely held
corporations, tax-exempt entities and Non-U.S. Persons, if the Class B Notes
are treated as equity, the Class B notes may not be a suitable investment for
such persons, and such persons should consult their own tax advisors in this
regard.

State and Local Taxation

   The discussion above does not address the tax consequences of purchase,
ownership or disposition of the notes under any state or local tax law. In
particular, in the event that a Class B noteholder's interest is characterized
as a partnership interest, such Class B noteholder may be subject to state and
local income tax with respect to the trust's activities. Investors should
consult their own tax advisors regarding state and local tax consequences of
the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

   Subject to the considerations set forth below and under "ERISA
Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus, the Class A notes may be
purchased by an employee benefit plan or an individual retirement account (a
"Benefit Plan") subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. A fiduciary of a
Benefit Plan must determine that the purchase of a note is consistent with its
fiduciary duties under ERISA and does not result in a nonexempt prohibited
transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Section 406 of ERISA prohibits parties in interest or
disqualified persons ("Parties in Interest") with respect to a Benefit Plan
from engaging in certain transactions (including loans) involving a Benefit
Plan and its assets unless a statutory or administrative exemption applies to
the transaction. Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes certain
excise taxes (or, in some cases, a civil penalty may be assessed pursuant to
section 502(i) or section 502(l) of ERISA) on Parties in Interest which engage
in non-exempt prohibited transactions or breaches of fiduciary duty.

   The United States Department of Labor has issued a regulation (29 CFR
Section 2510.3- 101) concerning the definition of what constitutes the assets
of a Benefit Plan. This regulation provides that, as a general rule, the
underlying assets and properties of corporations, partnerships, trusts and
certain other entities in which a Benefit Plan purchases an "equity interest"
will be deemed for purposes of ERISA to be assets of the investing Benefit Plan
unless certain exceptions apply. This regulation defines an "equity interest"
as any interest in an entity other than an instrument that is treated as
indebtedness under applicable local law and which has no substantial equity
features. Although the issue is not free from doubt, we believe that the Class
A notes should not be treated as "equity interests" for purposes of the
regulation. Accordingly, the acquisition of the Class A notes by benefit plan
investors should not cause the assets of the trust to be treated as Benefit
Plan assets for purposes of Title I of ERISA. However, the Class A notes may
not be purchased with the assets of a Benefit Plan if the seller, the servicer,
the indenture trustee, the owner trustee or any of their affiliates:

  (1) has investment or administrative discretion with respect to such
      Benefit Plan assets;

  (2) has authority or responsibility to give, or regularly gives, investment
      advice with respect to such Benefit Plan assets, for a fee and pursuant
      to an agreement or understanding that such advice (a) will serve as a
      primary basis for investment decisions with respect to such Benefit
      Plan assets and (b) will be based on the particular investment needs
      for such Benefit Plan; or

  (3) is an employer maintaining or contributing to such Benefit Plan.

   Certain affiliates of the trust or the servicer might be considered or might
become Parties in Interest with respect to a Benefit Plan. In such cases, the
acquisition or holding of Class A notes by or on behalf of such a

                                      S-30
<PAGE>


Benefit Plan could be considered to give rise to an indirect prohibited
transaction within the meaning of ERISA and the Code, unless it is subject to
one or more exemptions such as one of the following Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemptions ("PTCE"):

  . PTCE 84-14, which exempts certain transactions effected on behalf of a
    Benefit Plan by a "qualified professional asset manager,"

  . PTCE 90-1, which exempts certain transactions involving insurance company
    pooled separate accounts,

  . PTCE 91-38, which exempts certain transactions involving bank collective
    investment funds,

  . PTCE 95-60, which exempts certain transactions involving insurance
    company general accounts, or

  . PTCE 96-23, which exempts certain transactions effected on behalf of a
    Benefit Plan by certain "in-house asset managers."

   Each purchaser or transferee of a note that is a Benefit Plan shall be
deemed to have represented that the relevant conditions for exemptive relief
under at least one of the foregoing exemptions (or other applicable exemption
providing substantially similar relief) have been satisfied.

   None of these prohibited transaction exemptions exempt the Benefit Plan
fiduciaries from satisfying their fiduciary duty obligations under ERISA.

   Because the Class B notes may be considered to have "substantial equity
features," you must not purchase Class B notes if you are a Benefit Plan or any
person using the assets of a Benefit Plan. Each purchaser or transferee of a
Class B note shall be deemed to have represented that it is not a Benefit Plan
and that it is not purchasing the note with assets of a Benefit Plan.

   For additional information regarding treatment of the notes under ERISA, see
"ERISA Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus.

                                  UNDERWRITING

                                SUMMARY OF TERMS

  . This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does
not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your
investment decision. To understand all of the terms of this offering, read the
entire prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement.

  . The definitions of and references to capitalized terms used in this
prospectus can be found on the pages indicated in the "Index of Principal
Terms" on page   of this prospectus.

Issuer

   The issuer with respect to any series of notes and/or certificates will be a
trust. If the trust issues notes and certificates, the trust will be formed
under a trust and servicing agreement between the depositor, the servicer and
the owner trustee. If the trust only issues certificates, the trust will be
formed under a pooling and servicing agreement among the depositor, the
servicer and the trustee.

Depositor

   Bay View Securitization Corporation will be the depositor in connection with
each trust. The depositor's principal executive offices are located at 2121
South El Camino Real, San Mateo, California 94403, and its telephone number is
(650) 573-7300. The depositor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bay View Capital
Corporation ("BVCC").

Servicer

   Bay View Acceptance Corporation ("BVAC") will act as the servicer of each
trust. The servicer will receive and apply payments on the automobile
receivables, service the collection of the receivables and direct the trustee
to make the appropriate distributions to the certificateholders and payments to
noteholders. The servicer will receive a monthly servicing fee as compensation
for its services. The servicer's operations are located at 818 Oakpark Road,
Covina, California 91724 and its telephone number is (800) 524-9292. The
servicer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bay View Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"),
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVCC.

Trustee

   The trustee or owner trustee will be specified in the prospectus supplement
for each trust.

Indenture Trustee

   The indenture trustee with respect to any series of securities that includes
one or more classes of notes will be the indenture trustee specified in the
related prospectus supplement.

The Notes

   A series of securities issued by a trust may include one or more classes of
notes. Each class of notes of a series will be issued under an indenture
between the applicable trust and the related indenture trustee. We will specify
in the related prospectus supplement which class or classes of notes, if any,
will be offered in connection with the issuance of a series.

   Generally, each class of notes will have a stated note principal balance
specified in the related prospectus supplement and the notes will accrue
interest on the stated note principal balance at a specified rate. Each class
of notes may have a different interest rate, which may be fixed, variable,
adjustable, or any combination of fixed, variable and adjustable. We will
specify the interest rate for each class of notes or the method for determining
such interest rate in the related prospectus supplement. In the related
prospectus supplement we will specify the timing and amount of principal
payments or the method for determining the timing and amount of principal
payments of each class of notes.

   If a series includes two or more classes of notes, as specified in the
related prospectus supplement, each class may differ as to:

  . timing and/or priority of payments;

  . seniority and/or allocation of payments and losses;

  . calculation and rate of interest;

  . amount of payments of principal or interest;

                                       1
<PAGE>


  . dependence of payments upon the occurrence of specified events or upon
    collections from certain designated receivables; and

  . any combination of the above.

The Certificates

   A series of securities issued by a trust may include one or more classes of
certificates. We will issue each class of certificates of a series pursuant to
the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement.
We will specify in the related prospectus supplement which class or classes of
certificates, if any, of the related series are being offered for sale.
Generally, each class of offered certificates will have a stated certificate
principal balance and will accrue interest on such class certificate balance at
a specified pass-through rate. See "Description of the Securities--Payments of
Principal and Interest."

   The pass-through rate applicable to each class of certificates may be fixed,
variable, adjustable or any combination of fixed, variable and adjustable.

   We will specify the pass-through rate or the method for determining the
applicable pass-through rate for each class of certificates in the related
prospectus supplement. A series of certificates may include two or more classes
of certificates that may differ as to:

  . timing and/or priority of distributions;

  . seniority and/or allocations of distributions and losses;

  . calculation and pass-through rate of interest;

  . amount of distributions in respect of principal or interest;

  . dependence of payments upon the occurrence of specified events or upon
    collections from certain designated receivables; or

  . any combination of the above.

Strip Securities

   If provided in the related prospectus supplement, a series may include one
or more classes of strip notes or strip certificates entitled to:

  . interest payments with disproportionate, nominal or no principal payments
    or

  . principal payments with disproportionate, nominal or no interest
    payments.

Book Entry Securities

   We expect that the securities will be available in book-entry form only and
will be available for purchase in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples thereof, except that one security of each class may be issued in such
denomination as is required to include any residual amount. You will be able to
receive definitive securities only in the limited circumstances described
elsewhere in this prospectus or in the related prospectus supplement. See
"Description of the Securities--Definitive Securities."

Prepayment of Securities due to Purchase

   To the extent provided in the related prospectus supplement, the servicer or
another entity will be entitled to purchase the receivables from a trust or to
cause such receivables to be purchased by another entity when the outstanding
principal or certificate balance of the receivables or a class of securities,
respectively, has declined below a specified level. If the servicer or any such
other entity exercises any such option to purchase the receivables, the trust
will prepay the outstanding securities. See "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements --Termination." In addition, if the related prospectus
supplement provides that the property of a trust will include a pre-funding
account for the purchase of receivables for a specified funding period after
the closing date, one or more classes of securities may be subject to a partial
prepayment of principal following the end of the funding period, in the manner
and to the extent specified in the related prospectus supplement. See
"Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Accounts--Pre-Funding
Account."

The Trust Property

   Unless the related prospectus supplement specifies otherwise, the property
of each trust will include:

                                       2
<PAGE>


  . a pool of simple interest and precomputed interest installment sale and
    installment loan contracts secured by new and used automobiles, light
    trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles and vans;

  . certain amounts due or received from the receivables after the cutoff
    date specified in the related prospectus supplement;

  . security interests in the vehicles financed through the receivables;

  . any right to recourse BVAC has against the dealers who sold the financed
    vehicles;

  . proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies;

  . certain rights under the related purchase agreement; and

  .all proceeds of the above.

   The majority of receivables are currently originated in California and
Texas. The property of each trust also will include amounts on deposit in, or
certain rights with respect to, certain accounts, including the related
certificate or collection account and any pre-funding account, spread account
(or cash collateral account), payment account, yield supplement account or any
other account identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. See
"Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Accounts."

   The receivables arise, or will arise, from:

  (1) motor vehicle installment sale contracts that were originated by
      dealers for assignment to BVAC or the Bank (directly or through Ultra
      Funding Corporation ("Ultra"), or Bay View Credit ("BVC"), both of
      which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of BVAC prior to being merged into
      BVAC on June 14, 1999, or California Thrift & Loan ("CTL"), which was
      renamed Bay View Credit on January 2, 1998) or

  (2) motor vehicle loan contracts that were solicited by dealers for
      origination by BVC, the Bank or CTL.

   BVAC will sell all the receivables to be included in a trust to the
depositor. Then, the depositor will transfer the receivables to the trust.

   Payment of the amount due to the registered lienholder under each receivable
is secured by a first perfected security interest in the related financed
vehicle. BVAC, BVC, the Bank (or its predecessor, Bay View Federal Bank) or CTL
is or will be the registered lienholder (the "Named Lienholders") on the
certificate of title of each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables for each receivables pool will be selected from the
automobile receivable portfolio of BVAC, based on the criteria specified in the
related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement and
described in this prospectus under "The Receivables Pools," "Description of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of Receivables" and "--
Sale and Assignment of Subsequent Receivables," and in the related prospectus
supplement under "The Receivables Pool."

   On the date a series of securities is issued, the depositor will convey
receivables to the related trust in the aggregate principal amount provided in
the related prospectus supplement.

Pre-Funded Receivables

   With respect to any series of securities, the trust may agree to purchase
additional receivables from the depositor following the date on which the trust
is established and the related securities are issued. See "Description of
Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Accounts--Pre-Funding Account." We will
describe any such pre-funding arrangement in the related prospectus supplement.

Credit Enhancement

   A trust may provide any one or more of the following forms of credit
enhancement for one or more class or classes of securities to the extent
described in the related prospectus supplement:

  . subordination of one or more other classes of securities of the same
    series,

                                       3
<PAGE>


  . spread accounts (or cash collateral accounts),

  . yield supplement accounts,

  . insurance policies,

  . surety bonds,

  . letters of credit,

  . credit or liquidity facilities,

  . over-collateralization,

  . guaranteed investment contracts,

  . swaps or other interest rate protection agreements,

  . repurchase obligations,

  . other agreements providing third-party payments or other support,

  . cash deposits, or

  . any other arrangements described in the prospectus supplement.

   We will describe any form of credit enhancement, including any limitations
and exclusions from coverage, with respect to a trust or class or classes of
securities in the related prospectus supplement.

Transfer and Servicing Agreements

   BVAC will sell the receivables to the depositor without recourse, pursuant
to the related purchase agreement between BVAC and the depositor. If the trust
will issue one or more classes of notes, the trust will pledge the receivables
and the trust's property to the indenture trustee as collateral for repayment
of the notes. In addition, the servicer will agree in the related trust and
servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement to service, manage,
maintain custody of and make collections on the related receivables.

   Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, the servicer
will advance funds to cover 30 days of interest due on any receivable that is
more than 30 days delinquent. The servicer will make such an advance only if
the servicer expects to recover such advance from subsequent payments on the
receivable. Advances by the servicer will increase the funds available for
distributions to securityholders on a payment date, but the servicer will
recover such advances from subsequent payments of the receivables or, to the
extent set forth in the related prospectus supplement, from insurance proceeds
or withdrawals from any spread account or other available credit enhancement.
See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Advances."

Repurchase of Receivables by BVAC or the Servicer

   BVAC must repurchase from the trust any receivable in which the interest of
such trust is materially and adversely affected by a breach of any
representation or warranty made by BVAC in the related purchase agreement,
unless such breach is cured in a timely manner following the discovery by or
notice to BVAC.

   In addition, the servicer must purchase any receivable if:

  (1) among other things, without being ordered to do so by a bankruptcy
      court or otherwise being mandated by law, the servicer:

    . reduces the rate of interest under the related receivable contract,

    . reduces the amount of the scheduled monthly payments or the amount
      financed or

    . fails to maintain a perfected security interest in the related
      financed vehicle and

  (2) the interest of the securityholders in such receivable is materially
      and adversely affected by such action or failure to act of the
      servicer.

   If the servicer extends the date for final payment by the obligor on the
related receivable beyond the latest final scheduled maturity date for any
class specified in the related prospectus supplement, the servicer must
purchase the receivable on such final scheduled maturity date. Except as
described above, none of BVAC, the trust or the depositor will have any other
obligation with
                                       4
<PAGE>

respect to the receivables or the securities. See "Description of the Transfer
and Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of Receivables."

   The servicer will receive a monthly fee for servicing the receivables of
each trust. The monthly servicing fee will be equal to (1) the monthly
servicing fee rate multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal balance of the
receivables pool as of the beginning of the related collection period. In
addition, the servicer will receive certain late fees, prepayment charges and
other administrative fees or similar charges. The servicer may also receive
investment earnings from certain accounts and other cash flows with respect to
a trust. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Servicing
Compensation and Payment of Expenses."

Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables; Repurchase Obligations

   In connection with the sale of receivables by BVAC to the depositor, by the
depositor to a trust, and, in the case of a series of notes issued by the
trust, the pledge of the receivables and the trust's property to the indenture
trustee, security interests in the related financed vehicles will be assigned
by BVAC to the depositor, by the depositor to the trust and, if applicable, by
the trust to the indenture trustee. However, the certificates of title to such
financed vehicles will not be amended to reflect the assignments to the
depositor or to the trust, or the grant to the indenture trustee. In the
absence of such amendments, the trust or the indenture trustee may not have a
perfected security interest in the financed vehicles securing the receivables
in some states.

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, BVAC must
repurchase from a trust any receivable sold to such trust as to which all
action necessary to secure a first perfected security interest in the related
financed vehicle in the name of the trust has not been taken as of the date
such receivable is purchased by such trust, if:

  (1) such breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the
      related securityholders in such receivable, and

  (2) such breach is not cured by the end of the second month following the
      discovery by or notice to BVAC of such breach.

   If a trust or the indenture trustee does not have a perfected security
interest in a financed vehicle, it may not be able to enforce its rights to
repossess or otherwise collect on the financed vehicle. If the trust or the
indenture trustee has a perfected security interest in the financed vehicle,
the trust or the indenture trustee will have a prior claim over subsequent
purchasers of the financed vehicle and holders of subsequently perfected
security interests. However, a trust or indenture trustee could lose its
security interest or the priority of its security interest in a financed
vehicle due to liens for repairs of financed vehicles due to liens for unpaid
taxes by the related obligor, or through fraud or negligence of a third party.
Neither the depositor nor BVAC will be required to repurchase a receivable with
respect to which a trust or indenture trustee loses its security interest or
the priority of its security interest in the related financed vehicle after the
closing date as a result of any such mechanic's lien, tax lien or the fraud or
negligence of a third party.

   Creditors such as BVAC must comply with federal and state consumer
protection laws in connection with originating, purchasing and collecting
consumer debt such as the receivables. Certain of these laws provide that an
assignee of such a receivable (such as a trust or an indenture trustee) is
liable to the related obligor for any violation of such laws by the creditor.
Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, BVAC must
repurchase from the trust any receivable that fails to comply with the
requirements of such consumer protection laws on the closing date if:

  (1) such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the
      related securityholders in such receivable; and

  (2) such breach is not cured by the end of the second month following the
      discovery by or notice to BVAC of such breach.

   BVAC must repurchase any such receivable for which there is an uncured
breach on or before the date that such breach is required to be cured. See
"Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables."

Tax Considerations

   If the prospectus supplement does not specify that the related trust will be
treated as a grantor trust, upon the issuance of a series of securities,
special federal tax counsel to such trust identified in the related prospectus
supplement will deliver an opinion to the effect that:

  . any notes of such series will or, if so specified in the related
    prospectus supplement, should be characterized as debt for federal income
    tax purposes; and

  . such trust will not be characterized as an association (or a publicly
    traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
    purposes.

   If a prospectus supplement specifies that the related trust is a grantor
trust, federal tax counsel will deliver an opinion to the effect that such
trust will be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and
will not be subject to federal income tax. See "Federal Income Tax
Consequences" for additional information regarding the application of federal
tax laws to a trust and the related securities.

ERISA Considerations

   Subject to the considerations discussed under "ERISA Considerations" in this
prospectus and in the related prospectus supplement and unless otherwise
provided therein, any securities that meet certain U. S. Department of Labor
requirements are eligible for purchase by employee benefit plans and plans
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"). Notes that are treated as indebtedness under applicable local law
and which have no substantial equity features may be acquired by such employee
benefit plans. A class of certificates that is subordinated to any other class
of certificates of the same series may not be acquired by any such employee
benefit plan, a plan subject to ERISA or an individual retirement account. The
related prospectus supplement will indicate if we do not believe a class of
securities is eligible for purchase by such plans. See "ERISA Considerations"
in this prospectus and in the related prospectus supplement.

Ratings

   To the extent described in the related prospectus supplement, the securities
must be rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the
securities because a rating does not comment as to market price or suitability
for a particular investor. Ratings of securities address the likelihood of the
payment of principal and interest on the securities pursuant to their terms. We
cannot assure you that any rating will remain for a given period of time or
that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency.
For more detailed information regarding the ratings assigned to any class of
securities of a particular series, see "Summary of Terms--Ratings" and "Risk
Factors--The Limitations of the Note Ratings" in the related prospectus
supplement.

<PAGE>

                                  RISK FACTORS

   You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below before
purchasing any securities of any series.

If the Trust Does Not Have a   Simultaneously with each sale of receivables,
Perfected Security Interest    BVAC will assign to the depositor, the
in a Financed Vehicle, It      depositor will assign to the related trust,
May Not be Able to Collect     and, in the case of a series of notes issued by
on the Receivable              the trust, the trust will pledge to the
                               indenture trustee, security interests in the
                               related financed vehicles. Due to
                               administrative burden and expense, however, the
                               certificates of title to such financed vehicles
                               will not be amended to reflect the assignments
                               to the depositor, the trust or the indenture
                               trustee. In the absence of such amendments, a
                               trust or the indenture trustee may not have a
                               perfected security interest in such financed
                               vehicles in some states.

                               If a trust or the indenture trustee does not
                               have a perfected security interest in a
                               financed vehicle, it may not be able to enforce
                               its rights to repossess or otherwise collect on
                               such financed vehicle in the event of a default
                               by the obligor. As such, the trust or the
                               indenture trustee may be adversely affected by
                               such failure. If the trust's or the indenture
                               trustee's security interest in a financed
                               vehicle is perfected, the trust or the
                               indenture trustee will have a prior claim over
                               subsequent purchasers of such financed vehicle
                               and holders of subsequently perfected security
                               interests. However, the trust or the indenture
                               trustee could lose its security interest or the
                               priority of its security interest in a financed
                               vehicle due to liens for repairs of such
                               financed vehicle, due to liens for taxes unpaid
                               by the related obligor or through the fraud or
                               negligence of a third party. Neither the
                               depositor nor BVAC will have any obligation to
                               repurchase a receivable in respect of which a
                               trust or the indenture trustee loses its
                               security interest or the priority of its
                               security interest in the related financed
                               vehicle as the result of any such mechanic's
                               lien, tax lien or fraud or negligence occurring
                               after the date such security interest was
                               conveyed to the trust or the indenture trustee.
                               See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables--
                               Security Interest in Vehicles" and "--Consumer
                               Protection Laws."

If a Receivables Transfer is   BVAC will warrant to the depositor in each
Not a Sale, the Insolvency     purchase agreement that the sales of the
of BVAC or its Affiliates      receivables by BVAC to the depositor, and by
Could Reduce Payments to You   the depositor to the related trust,
                               respectively, are valid sales of the
                               receivables to the depositor and to the trust.
                               The benefit of such warranty will be assigned
                               by the depositor to each trust in the related
                               trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
                               servicing agreement and further, in the case of
                               a series of notes issued by the related trust,
                               will be assigned by the related trust to the
                               indenture trustee. However, the interest of the
                               trust or the indenture trustee could be
                               affected by the insolvency of BVAC or its
                               affiliates as follows:

                               (1) If BVAC or the depositor becomes a debtor
                                   in a bankruptcy case and a creditor or
                                   trustee-in-bankruptcy of such debtor or
                                   such debtor itself claims that the sale of
                                   receivables to the

                                       7

                                 depositor or such trust, as applicable,
                                 constitutes a pledge of such receivables to
                                 secure a loan by such debtor, then delays in
                                 distributions on the receivables to
                                 securityholders could occur. If the court
                                 rules in favor of any such bankruptcy
                                 trustee, creditor or debtor, then reductions
                                 in the amounts of such payments could result.

                              (2) If the transfer of receivables to the
                                  depositor or any trust is treated as a
                                  pledge rather than a sale, a tax or
                                  government lien on the property of BVAC or
                                  the depositor arising before the transfer of
                                  such receivables to such trust may have
                                  priority over such trust's interest in such
                                  receivables.

                              However, if the transfers of receivables from
                              BVAC to the depositor and from the depositor to
                              the trust are treated as sales, the receivables
                              would not be part of BVAC's or the depositor's
                              bankruptcy estate and would not be available to
                              creditors of BVAC or the depositor. See "Certain
                              Legal Aspects of the Receivables--Bankruptcy
                              Matters."

                              In addition, because BVAC is a wholly owned
                              subsidiary of the Bank, if the FDIC is appointed
                              the receiver or conservator of the Bank, the
                              FDIC could take actions which could negatively
                              affect BVAC by repudiating or modifying
                              agreements between BVAC and the depositor. Such
                              action by the FDIC could impair or delay the
                              ability of the depositor to make distributions
                              on the receivables to the securityholders.

BVAC and its Affiliates       Generally, neither the depositor nor BVAC will
Have Limited Obligations to   be obligated to make any payments to a trust in
Make Payments to the Trusts   respect of the related securities or
                              receivables. The limited circumstances under
                              which BVAC will be required to make payments to
                              a trust relate to BVAC's obligation to
                              repurchase from the trust any receivables with
                              respect to which BVAC has breached any
                              representations and warranties made in the
                              purchase agreements and such breach materially
                              and adversely affects the trust's interest in
                              such receivable. In addition, BVAC, as servicer,
                              may be required to purchase receivables from a
                              trust under certain circumstances set forth in
                              the trust and servicing agreement or the pooling
                              and servicing agreement. See "Description of the
                              Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and
                              Assignment of Receivables" and "--Servicing
                              Procedures."

Each Trust Will Have          None of the trusts will have significant assets
Limited Assets                or sources of funds other than the related
                              receivables and, to the extent provided in the
                              related prospectus supplement, a pre-funding
                              account, spread account, yield supplement
                              account or other form of credit enhancement. The
                              securities of each series will represent
                              obligations of or interests in the related trust
                              only and will not represent obligations of or
                              interests in, or be insured or guaranteed by,
                              any of the lienholders named on the certificates
                              of title, the applicable trustees or any other
                              entity. Consequently, you must rely for
                              repayment upon payments on the related
                              receivables and, if and to the extent available,
                              amounts available under any available form

                               of credit enhancement, all as specified in the
                               related prospectus supplement.

Payments on Some Securities    To the extent specified in the related
May Be Subordinated to         prospectus supplement, payments or
Payments on Other Securities   distributions on certain classes of securities
                               may be subordinated to payments or
                               distributions on other classes of securities.

Rapid Prepayments May Reduce   Any of the receivables can be prepaid at any
Your Anticipated Yield         time by the related obligor. With respect to
                               any receivable, the term prepayment includes
                               prepayments in full, partial prepayments
                               (including those related to rebates of extended
                               warranty contract costs and insurance premiums)
                               and liquidations due to defaults, as well as
                               receipts of proceeds from physical damage,
                               credit life and disability insurance policies
                               and any lender's single insurance policy, and
                               purchase amounts with respect to certain other
                               receivables repurchased by BVAC as a result of
                               a breach of a representation or warranty or
                               purchased by the servicer for administrative
                               reasons. The rate of prepayments on the
                               receivables may be influenced by many economic,
                               social and other factors, including the fact
                               that an obligor generally may not sell or
                               transfer the financed vehicle securing a
                               receivable without the consent of the
                               appropriate lienholder. The rate of prepayment
                               on the receivables may also be influenced by
                               the structure of the underlying contracts. If
                               the receivables prepay more rapidly than
                               expected, your anticipated yield may be
                               reduced. See "Weighted Average Life of the
                               Securities." In addition, if so provided in the
                               related prospectus supplement, the servicer or
                               another entity may be entitled to purchase the
                               receivables of a given receivables pool under
                               the circumstances described in such prospectus
                               supplement which may further reduce your
                               anticipated yield. See "Description of the
                               Transfer and Servicing Agreements--
                               Termination."

                               In addition, a series of securities may include
                               one or more classes of interest-only or other
                               strip securities entitled to (1) interest
                               payments with disproportionate nominal or no
                               principal payments or (2) principal payments
                               with disproportionate, nominal or no interest
                               payments. Such strip securities may be more
                               sensitive than other classes of securities of
                               such series to the rate of payment on the
                               related receivables. If you wish to invest in
                               any such class of securities, you should
                               carefully consider the information provided
                               with respect to such strip securities under
                               "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the related
                               prospectus supplement.

Indirect Exercise of Rights    Unless otherwise specified in the related
due to Book-Entry              prospectus supplement, each class of the
Registration                   securities of a given series initially will be
                               represented by one or more certificates
                               registered in the name of Cede & Co., or any
                               other nominee of The Depository Trust Company
                               ("DTC") set forth in the related prospectus
                               supplement, and will not be registered in the
                               names of the holders of such securities or
                               their nominees. Because of this, unless and
                               until definitive securities for such series are
                               issued, you will not be

                               such term is used in this prospectus. As such,
                               until definitive securities are issued,
                               beneficial owners of the securities will be
                               able to exercise the rights of securityholders
                               only indirectly through DTC and its
                               participating organizations. See "Description
                               of the Securities--Book-Entry Registration" and
                               "--Definitive Securities."

Pre-Funding May Reduce Your    If the related prospectus supplement provides
Anticipated Yield              for the sale and purchase of receivables during
                               a funding period after the closing date using a
                               pre-funded amount, the depositor or the trust
                               will deposit the pre-funded amount specified in
                               such prospectus supplement into the pre-funding
                               account on the closing date. During the funding
                               period and until such amounts are applied by
                               the trustee to purchase subsequent receivables,
                               amounts on deposit in the pre-funding account
                               will be invested in eligible investments. Any
                               investment income with respect to such
                               investments (net of any related investment
                               expenses) will be distributed on each payment
                               date during the funding period as part of the
                               available funds for the preceding calendar
                               month. We expect that the investment income
                               earned on amounts on deposit in the pre-funding
                               account will be less than the interest accrued
                               at the interest rate or pass-through rate
                               applicable to the portion of the securities
                               represented by the pre-funded amount.

                               If the principal amount of receivables
                               originated or acquired by BVAC during a funding
                               period and possessing the required attributes
                               to transfer to a trust is less than the pre-
                               funded amount, BVAC and the depositor may have
                               insufficient eligible receivables to
                               subsequently transfer to a trust. To the extent
                               that the entire pre-funded amount has not been
                               applied to the subsequent purchase of
                               receivables by the end of the related funding
                               period, any amounts remaining in the pre-
                               funding account will be distributed as a full
                               or partial prepayment of principal to holders
                               of one or more classes of the related series of
                               securities following the end of the funding
                               period, in the amounts and pursuant to the
                               priorities set forth in the related prospectus
                               supplement. Such prepayment may reduce the
                               securityholder's outstanding principal balance
                               and anticipated yield. See "Summary of Terms--
                               Pre-Funded Receivables" and "Description of the
                               Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and
                               Assignment of Subsequent Receivables."

                                   THE TRUSTS

   Each series of securities will be issued by a separate trust established by
the depositor pursuant to a trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement for the transactions described in this prospectus and in
the related prospectus supplement. Except as otherwise provided in the related
prospectus supplement, the property of each trust will include:

  (1) a pool of receivables, including any receivables conveyed to the trust
      after the closing date, and certain payments due or received thereunder
      after the applicable cutoff date;

  (2) a pre-funded amount to purchase receivables after the closing date, if
      so provided in the related prospectus supplement;

  (3) interests in certain amounts that may from time to time be held in
      separate trust accounts established and maintained pursuant to the
      related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
      agreement and, if so provided in the related prospectus supplement, the
      proceeds of such accounts;

  (4) security interests in the financed vehicles and any other interest of
      BVAC and the Named Lienholders as the registered lienholders on the
      certificates of title of each of the financed vehicles and the
      depositor in such financed vehicles;

  (5) any recourse rights of the Named Lienholders against dealers;

  (6) any rights of BVAC to proceeds from claims on or refunds of premiums
      with respect to certain physical damage, credit life and disability
      insurance policies covering the financed vehicles or the obligors, as
      the case may be, including any lender's single interest insurance
      policy;

  (7) any property that secures a receivable and that has been acquired by
      the trust;

  (8) certain rights under the related purchase agreement between BVAC and
      the depositor; and

  (9) any and all proceeds of the foregoing.

   The receivables in each receivables pool were or will be either (a)
originated by dealers for assignment to BVAC or (b) solicited by dealers for
origination by BVAC. One of the Named Lienholders will be the registered
lienholder listed on the certificates of title of the financed vehicles. The
receivables will continue to be serviced by BVAC as the initial servicer under
each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement.

   On or prior to the applicable closing date, BVAC will sell to the depositor,
pursuant to the related purchase agreement, receivables in the aggregate
principal amount specified in the related prospectus supplement. Thereafter, on
such closing date, the depositor will convey such receivables to the related
trust. BVAC and the depositor may be required to convey additional receivables
to the trust after the closing date if indicated in the prospectus supplement.
See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment
of Subsequent Receivables" in this prospectus.

   BVAC and the depositor will not convey to a trust any contract with a dealer
establishing "dealer reserves" or any rights to recapture dealer reserves
pursuant to such a contract. To the extent specified in the related prospectus
supplement, a pre-funding account, spread account, yield supplement account,
surety bond, swap or other interest rate protection, or any other form of
credit enhancement may be a part of the property of a trust or may be held by
the applicable trustee for the benefit of holders of the related securities.

   If the protection provided to the securityholders by the subordination, if
any, of one or more classes of securities of such series and by any spread
account, yield supplement account or other available form of credit enhancement
for such series is insufficient, the securityholders will have to look to
payments by or on behalf of obligors on the related receivables and the
proceeds from the repossession and sale of financed vehicles that secure
defaulted receivables for distributions of principal of and interest on the
related securities. In such event,

                                       11
<PAGE>

certain factors, such as the trust or the indenture trustee not having
perfected security interests in all of the financed vehicles, may limit the
ability of a trust to liquidate the collateral securing the related receivables
or may limit the amount realized to less than the amount due under such
receivable. Securityholders may not receive timely payment on, or may incur
losses on their investment in, such securities as a result of defaults or
delinquencies by obligors and depreciation in the value of the related financed
vehicles. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Credit
Enhancement" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables."

The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee

   The owner trustee for each trust and, if the trust issues notes, the
indenture trustee for the series of notes, will be specified in the related
prospectus supplement. The liability of the owner trustee and/or the indenture
trustee in connection with the issuance and sale of the related securities is
limited solely to the express obligations of such trustee set forth in the
related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement and,
if applicable, in the related indenture.

   A trustee may resign at any time. The servicer may remove an owner trustee,
and the servicer or the insurer may remove an indenture trustee, if such
trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as trustee under the trust and
servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, or, if applicable,
under the indenture, or if such trustee becomes insolvent. If the trustee
resigns or if the servicer or the insurer removes a trustee, the servicer will
be obligated to appoint a successor to such trustee. The insurer must consent
to any such appointment of a successor trustee. Any resignation or removal of a
trustee and appointment of a successor trustee will not become effective until
the successor trustee accepts the appointment.

                             THE RECEIVABLES POOLS

General

   The receivables in each receivables pool were or will be acquired by BVAC or
another Named Lienholder from dealers or originated by BVAC or another Named
Lienholder through dealers in the ordinary course of business. One of the Named
Lienholders will be the registered lienholder on the certificates of title to
each of the financed vehicles.

   The receivables to be sold to each trust will be selected from BVAC's
portfolio for inclusion in a receivables pool based on several criteria,
including that, unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement,
each receivable:

  .  is secured by a new or used vehicle;

  .  provides for level monthly payments (except for the last payment, which
     may be different from the level payments) that fully amortize the amount
     financed over the original term to maturity of the receivable;

  .  is a precomputed receivable or a simple interest receivable; and

  .  satisfies the other criteria, if any, set forth in the related
     prospectus supplement.

   Except as described in the related prospectus supplement, no selection
procedures believed by BVAC or the depositor to be adverse to securityholders
were or will be used in selecting the receivables.

Underwriting Procedures

   BVAC uses the degree of the applicant's creditworthiness as the basic
criterion when originating an installment sales contract or purchasing such a
contract from a dealer. Each credit application requires that the applicant
provide current information regarding the applicant's employment history, bank
accounts, debts, credit

                                       12
<PAGE>

references, and other factors that bear on creditworthiness. BVAC generally
applies uniform underwriting standards when originating loans on new and used
vehicles. BVAC also typically obtains a credit report from a major credit
reporting agency summarizing the applicant's credit history and paying habits,
including such items as open accounts, delinquent payments, bankruptcies,
repossessions, lawsuits, and judgments. Information relating to the applicant
and supplied by the applicant on the loan application combined with information
provided by credit reporting agencies is used to generate the borrower's credit
score.

   The credit score generated is used as the basic determinant for loan
approval. BVAC's credit scoring model was developed by an independent firm
experienced in developing credit scoring models and utilizes extensive
historical data related to BVAC's origination and servicing experience as well
as the experience of BVAC's senior management. BVAC's credit scoring model
evaluates an applicant's credit profile along with certain applicant specific
characteristics to arrive at an estimate of the associated credit risk.
Additionally, BVAC's credit analysts may also verify an applicant's employment
income and/or residency or where appropriate, verify an applicant's payment
history directly with the applicant's creditors. BVAC will also generally
verify receipt of the automobile and other information directly with the
borrower. Based on these procedures, a credit decision is considered and
approved by BVAC personnel at various levels of authority, depending on a
variety of factors including the amount of the loan and the applicant's credit
score.

   BVAC's underwriting guidelines adhere to no specific loan-to-value ratios
because the primary focus is on the ability of the borrower to repay the loan
rather than the value of underlying collateral. The amount financed by BVAC
will generally be up to the full sales price of the vehicle plus sales tax,
dealer preparation fees, license fees and title fees, plus the cost of service
and warranty contracts and premiums for physical damage, credit life and
disability insurance obtained in connection with the vehicle or the financing
(such amounts in addition to the sales price, collectively the "Additional
Vehicle Costs"). Accordingly, the amount financed by BVAC under an installment
contract generally may exceed, depending on the credit score, in the case of
new vehicles, the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the financed vehicle
and the Additional Vehicle Costs. In the case of used vehicles, if the
applicant meets BVAC's creditworthiness criteria, the amount financed may
exceed the vehicle's value as assigned by one of the three standard reference
sources for dealers of used cars and the Additional Vehicle Costs. Depending on
the dealer's location, BVAC will use the "Kelley Blue Book," "NADA Official
Used Car Guide" or the "Black Book" published by National Auto Research to
obtain a value to assign to a used vehicle for underwriting purposes.

   BVAC believes based on its historical experience that the resale value of a
new vehicle purchased by an obligor will generally decline below the
manufacturer's suggested retail price and, in some cases, may decline for a
period of time below the principal balance outstanding on the related
installment contract. BVAC also believes that the resale value of a used
vehicle purchased by an obligor will generally decline, but believes that the
percentage of such decline generally will be less than the percentage of
decline in the resale value of a new vehicle. BVAC regularly reviews the
quality of the contracts purchased from dealers and periodically conducts
quality control audits to ensure compliance with its established policies and
procedures.

   The underwriting procedures and standards employed by the other Named
Lienholders were generally similar to those used by BVAC except that Ultra used
a scoring model developed by Fair Isaac & Co., Inc., based on the industry
experience of its clients; the maximum amount financed is generally lower than
the amount permitted under the guidelines of BVAC, BVC and CTL; and lastly,
BVAC, BVC and CTL generally verified receipt of the automobile and other
information with the borrower. Accordingly, references to BVAC in the foregoing
discussion of BVAC's underwriting procedures apply also to any receivables
included in a receivables pool that was acquired by BVAC from another Named
Lienholder or receivables that were otherwise originated by BVAC or another
Named Lienholder. See also "Bay View Acceptance Corporation and Affiliates."

                                       13

Allocation of Payments

   The receivables will be either simple interest receivables or precomputed
receivables. Simple interest receivables provide for equal monthly payments
that are applied first to interest accrued to the date of such payment, then to
principal due on such date, then to pay any applicable late charges, and then
to further reduce the outstanding principal balance. Accordingly, if an obligor
pays a fixed monthly installment before its due date under a simple interest
receivable, the portion of the payment allocable to interest for the period
since the preceding payment will be less than it would have been had the
payment been made on the contractual due date and the portion of the payment
applied to reduce the principal balance of the receivable will be
correspondingly greater. Conversely, if an obligor pays a fixed monthly
installment under a simple interest receivable after its contractual due date,
the portion of such payment allocable to interest for the period since the
preceding payment will be greater than it would have been had the payment been
made when due and the portion of such payment applied to reduce the principal
balance of the receivable will be correspondingly less, in which case a larger
portion of the principal balance may be due on the final scheduled payment
date.

   Precomputed receivables consist of either (1) monthly actuarial receivables
or (2) receivables that provide for allocation of payments according to the
"sum of periodic balances" method, similar to the rule of 78's. An actuarial
receivable provides for amortization of the receivable over a series of fixed
level monthly installments. Each monthly installment, including the monthly
installment representing the final payment of the receivable, consists of an
amount of interest equal to one-twelfth of the annual percentage rate of the
receivable multiplied by the unpaid principal balance of the loan, and an
amount of principal equal to the remainder of the monthly payment. A rule of
78's receivable provides for the payment by the obligor of a specified total
amount of payments, payable in equal monthly installments on each due date,
which total represents the principal amount financed and add-on interest for
the term of the receivable. The rate at which the amount of add-on interest is
earned and, correspondingly, the amount of each fixed monthly payment allocated
to reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the receivable are
calculated in accordance with the sum of the periodic time balances or the rule
of 78's. If a precomputed receivable is prepaid in full (voluntarily or by
liquidation, acceleration or otherwise), under the terms of the contract a
"refund" or "rebate" will be made to the obligor of the portion of the total
amount of payments then due and payable under the contract allocable to
"unearned" interest. Unearned interest is calculated in accordance with the sum
of the periodic time balances method or a method equivalent to the rule of
78's. The amount of any such rebate under a precomputed receivable generally
will be less than or equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest that
would have been due under a simple interest receivable for which all payments
were made on schedule and generally will be significantly less than such
amount.

   Unless otherwise stated in the related prospectus supplement, all of the
receivables that are precomputed receivables will be rule of 78's receivables;
however, each trust will account for all rule of 78's receivables as if these
receivables were actuarial receivables. Except as otherwise indicated in the
related prospectus supplement, early payments on precomputed receivables will
be deposited to the payahead account as described under "Description of the
Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Accounts." Amounts received upon prepayment
in full of a rule of 78's receivable in excess of the then outstanding
principal balance of such receivable (computed on an actuarial basis) will not
be passed through to securityholders, except to the extent necessary to pay
interest and principal on the securities.

   If a receivable is liquidated or a financed vehicle is repossessed, amounts
recovered are applied first to the expenses of repossession and then to unpaid
principal and interest and any related payment or other fee.

Delinquencies, Repossessions and Net Losses

   Certain information about the experience of BVAC pertaining to
delinquencies, repossessions and net losses with respect to new and used
automobile, light-duty truck, motorcycle, recreational vehicle and van
receivables will be set forth in each prospectus supplement. We cannot assure
you that the delinquency, repossession and net loss experience with respect to
any receivables pool will be comparable to prior experience or to the
information provided in the prospectus supplement.

                                       14
<PAGE>

                    WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE SECURITIES

   The weighted average life of the securities of any series generally will be
influenced by the rate at which the principal balances of the underlying
receivables are paid, which payment may be in the form of scheduled
amortization or prepayments. For this purpose, the term prepayments includes
prepayments in full, partial prepayments (including those related to rebates of
extended warranty contract costs and insurance premiums), liquidations due to
defaults, as well as receipts of proceeds, if any, from physical damage, credit
life and disability and/or any lender's single interest insurance policies, and
the purchase amount of receivables repurchased by BVAC due to a breach of a
representation or warranty or purchased by the servicer for administrative
purposes. Obligors may prepay the receivables at any time without penalty (or
with a de minimis charge).

   The rate of prepayment of automotive receivables is influenced by a variety
of economic, social and other factors, including the fact that an obligor
generally may not sell or transfer the financed vehicle securing a receivable
without the consent of the applicable Named Lienholder as the registered
lienholder (or the servicer on behalf of the lienholder). The rate of
prepayment on the receivables may also be influenced by the structure of the
underlying contracts. A series of securities which includes notes may require,
if specified in the related prospectus supplement, principal payments at a rate
faster than the rate at which principal payments on the receivables are
received. These accelerated payments, if any, will be made from the excess cash
flows expected to come from the receivables and this feature should shorten the
average life of some or all of the securities of such series.

   In addition, under certain circumstances, BVAC will be obligated to
repurchase receivables from a trust as a result of breaches of representations
and warranties, and the servicer will be obligated to purchase receivables from
a trust as a result of breaches of certain covenants. In each case, BVAC will
repurchase such receivables pursuant to the related Transfer and Servicing
Agreements. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and
Assignment of Receivables," "--Servicing Procedures," and "--Termination"
regarding the option of the servicer or any other entity to purchase or cause
the receivables to be purchased from a trust.

   A series of securities may include one or more classes of strip notes or
strip certificates that may be entitled to interest payments with
disproportionate, nominal or no principal payments or principal payments with
disproportionate, nominal or no interest payments ("Strip Securities"). Strip
Securities may be more sensitive than certain other classes of securities of
the same series to the rate of payment of the related receivables. Prospective
investors in Strip Securities should consider carefully the information about
Strip Securities in the related prospectus supplement.

   In light of the above considerations, we cannot assure you as to the amount
of principal payments to be made on the securities of a series on any payment
date since such amount will depend, in part, on the amount of principal
collected on the related receivables pool during the applicable collection
period. Any reinvestment risks resulting from a faster or slower incidence of
prepayment of receivables will be borne entirely by the securityholders. The
related prospectus supplement may set forth additional information with respect
to the maturity and prepayment considerations applicable to the particular
receivables pool and the related series of securities or particular classes of
securities.

                    POOL FACTORS AND OTHER POOL INFORMATION

   The "Pool Factor" for each class of securities will be a seven-digit decimal
which the servicer will compute prior to each distribution with respect to such
class of securities and which will indicate the remaining aggregate principal
balance of such class of securities, as of the applicable payment date (after
giving effect to distributions to be made on such payment date), as a fraction
of the initial aggregate principal balance of such class of securities. Each
Pool Factor will be 1.0000000 as of the related closing date and thereafter
will decline

                                       15
<PAGE>

to reflect reductions in the applicable aggregate principal balance of the
notes or the certificates. A securityholder's portion of the aggregate
outstanding aggregate principal balance of the notes or the certificates will
equal the product of (1) the original denomination of such securityholder's
security and (2) the applicable Pool Factor at the time of determination for
such class of securities.

   Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement,
securityholders will receive reports on or about each payment date concerning
payments received on the receivables, the aggregate principal balance of the
receivables pool and each Pool Factor. In addition, securityholders of record
during any calendar year will be furnished information for tax reporting
purposes not later than the latest date permitted by law. See "Description of
the Securities--Statements to Securityholders."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

   Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, the
depositor will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the securities to the
purchase of the receivables from BVAC and, if so provided in the related
prospectus supplement, to fund the pre-funding account. BVAC will use the
portion of such proceeds paid to it for general corporate purposes.

                 BAY VIEW ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES

   BVAC. BVAC is an automotive finance company engaged primarily in the
indirect financing (the purchase of loan contracts from dealers) of automobile
purchases by individuals. BVAC currently acquires receivables from over 3,800
manufacturer franchised automobile dealerships in 14 states. BVAC is a Nevada
corporation, formerly known as Bay View Financial Corporation ("BVFC") and was
formed in 1989 by BVAC's parent, the Bank. The Bank is the wholly-owned
subsidiary of BVCC. In January, 1998 BVFC was renamed BVAC and entered the
indirect automobile finance business through a corporate restructuring by which
it became the holding company of CTL, formerly a California thrift and loan
acquired by BVCC in June, 1996. CTL was also renamed in January 1998, as BVC.
CTL's primary business was the underwriting and purchasing of high yield retail
installment sales contracts secured by new and used automobiles and light-duty
trucks from dealers located primarily in the States of California, Arizona,
Colorado, Illinois, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Texas. BVAC began purchasing
and originating receivables in January, 1998.

   Ultra. Ultra was organized in August, 1997 by BVCC primarily to acquire
retail installment sales contracts secured by new and used automobiles
originated by Ultra Funding, Ltd., based in Austin, Texas, which Ultra acquired
in October, 1997. From November 1996 until its acquisition, BVCC participated
in a strategic alliance with Ultra Funding, Ltd. to purchase from Ultra
Funding, Ltd. all motor vehicle loan contracts meeting BVCC's underwriting
criteria. BVC and Ultra were both merged into BVAC in June, 1999.

   Bay View Securitization Corporation. Bay View Securitization Corporation,
the depositor, is a special purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned subsidiary
of BVCC, the holding company of the Bank. The depositor was formed in November
1996 as a Delaware corporation and is organized for the limited purpose of
acquiring automobile installment sale and installment loan contracts, reselling
such receivables and conducting activities incidental thereto.

   The depositor has taken steps in structuring the transactions contemplated
in this prospectus that are intended to ensure that the voluntary or
involuntary application for relief by the depositor under the United States
Bankruptcy Code or other applicable laws will not result in the consolidation
of the assets and liabilities of the depositor with those of BVAC, the Bank or
BVCC. These steps include the creation of the depositor as a separate, limited-
purpose subsidiary pursuant to a certificate of incorporation containing
certain limitations (including restrictions on the nature of the depositor's
business, as described above, and restrictions on the depositor's ability to
commence a voluntary case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law

                                       16
<PAGE>

without the unanimous affirmative vote of all its directors). However, we
cannot assure you that the activities of the depositor would not result in a
court concluding that the assets and liabilities of the depositor should be
consolidated with those of BVAC, the Bank or BVCC in a proceeding under such
bankruptcy or other applicable laws. See "Risk Factors--The Insolvency of BVAC
or its Affiliates Could Reduce Payments to You."

   In addition, tax and certain other statutory liabilities, such as
liabilities to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, if any, relating to
the underfunding of pension plans of BVAC or its affiliates can be asserted
against the depositor. To the extent that any such liabilities arise after the
transfer of the receivables to the trust, the trust's interest in the
receivables would be prior to the interest of the claimant with respect to any
such liabilities. However, the existence of a claim against the depositor could
permit the claimant to subject the depositor to an involuntary proceeding under
the United States Bankruptcy Code or other bankruptcy or insolvency laws. See
"Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables--Bankruptcy Matters."

                         DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES

General

   With respect to each trust that issues notes and certificates, one or more
classes of notes of the related series will be issued pursuant to the terms of
an indenture and one or more classes of certificates of the related series will
be issued pursuant to the terms of a trust and servicing agreement or a pooling
and servicing agreement. With respect to each trust that only issues
certificates, one or more classes of certificates of the related series will be
issued pursuant to the terms of a pooling and servicing agreement. A form of
each of the indenture, the trust and servicing agreement and the pooling and
servicing agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part.

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, the
securities will be available for purchase in minimum denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples in excess thereof in book-entry form only. The
statements made under this caption are summaries only. For a more detailed
description of the securities, you should read the indenture, the trust and
servicing agreement and/or the pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable.

Payments of Principal and Interest

   The timing and priority of payments of principal and interest,
distributions, seniority, allocations of losses, interest rate, pass-through
rate and amount of or method of determining payments of or distributions with
respect to principal and interest on each class of securities of a series will
be described in the related prospectus supplement. Payments or distributions on
the securities will be made on the payment dates specified in the related
prospectus supplement. To the extent provided in the related prospectus
supplement, a series of securities may include one or more classes of Strip
Securities entitled to (1) interest distributions with disproportionate,
nominal or no principal distributions or (2) principal distributions with
disproportionate, nominal or no interest distributions. Each class of
securities may have a different interest rate or pass-through rate, which may
be a fixed, variable or adjustable rate (and which may be zero for certain
classes of Strip Securities) or any combination of the foregoing. The related
prospectus supplement will specify the interest rate and/or pass-through rate
for each class of securities of a series or the method for determining such
rates.

   If specified in any prospectus supplement, one or more classes of securities
of a given series may have fixed principal and/or interest payment schedules or
provisions for minimum mandatory payments, as set forth in such prospectus
supplement.

   In the case of a series of securities that includes two or more classes of
securities, the timing, sequential order, priority of payment or amount of
distributions in respect of interest and principal, and any schedule or

                                       17
<PAGE>

formula or other provisions applicable to the determination thereof, of each
such class will be as set forth in the related prospectus supplement. Unless
otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, distributions in
respect of interest on and principal of any class of securities will be made on
a pro rata basis among all holders of securities of the class.

Book-Entry Registration

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each class
of securities initially will be represented by one or more certificates, in
each case registered in the name of the nominee of DTC. Unless another nominee
is specified in the related prospectus supplement, the nominee of DTC will be
Cede & Co. Accordingly, such nominee is expected to be the holder of record of
the securities of each series, except for securities, if any, retained by the
depositor or BVAC. Unless and until definitive securities are issued under the
limited circumstances described in this prospectus or in the related prospectus
supplement, no securityholder will be entitled to receive a physical
certificate representing a security. All references in this prospectus and in
the related prospectus supplement to actions by securityholders refer to
actions taken by DTC upon instructions from the participating members of DTC,
and all references in this prospectus and in the related prospectus supplement
to distributions, notices, reports and statements to securityholders will refer
to distributions, notices, reports and statements to DTC or its nominee, as the
case may be, as the registered holder of the securities, for distribution to
securityholders in accordance with DTC's procedures. Beneficial owners of the
securities ("Security Owners") will not be recognized as "securityholders" by
the related trustee and/or, if applicable the indenture trustee, and Security
Owners will be permitted to exercise the rights of securityholders only
indirectly through DTC and its participants.

   DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State
of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York
Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation"
within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") in effect in the
State of New York, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. DTC was created to hold securities for the DTC participants and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between DTC
participants through electronic book-entries, thereby eliminating the need for
physical movement of certificates. DTC participants include securities brokers
and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access
to the DTC system also is available to banks, brokers, dealers and trust
companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC
participant, either directly or indirectly.

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, Security
Owners that are not DTC participants or indirect participants but desire to
purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or an interest in, the
securities may do so only through DTC participants and indirect participants.
In addition, all Security Owners will receive all distributions of principal
and interest from the related trustee through DTC participants. Under a book-
entry format, Security Owners may experience some delay in their receipt of
payments, since such payments will be forwarded by the related trustee to DTC's
nominee. DTC will then forward such payments to the DTC participants, which
thereafter will forward them to indirect participants or Security Owners.

   Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and
its operations, DTC is required to make book-entry transfers among DTC
participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to the securities and to
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
securities. DTC participants and indirect participants with which Security
Owners have accounts with respect to the securities similarly are required to
make book-entry transfers and to receive and transmit such payments on behalf
of their respective Security Owners. Accordingly, although Security Owners will
not possess physical securities representing the securities, the DTC rules
provide a mechanism by which DTC participants and indirect participants will
receive payments and transfer interests, directly or indirectly, on behalf of
Security Owners.

                                       18
<PAGE>

   Because DTC can act only on behalf of DTC participants, who in turn act on
behalf of indirect participants and certain banks, the ability of a Security
Owner to pledge securities to persons or entities that do not participate in
the DTC system, or otherwise take actions with respect to such securities, may
be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate representing such
securities.

   DTC has advised the depositor that it will take any action permitted to be
taken by a Security Owner under the applicable trust and servicing agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement and the indenture only at the direction of one
or more DTC participants to whose account with DTC the securities are credited.
DTC may take conflicting actions with respect to other undivided interests to
the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of DTC participants whose
holdings include such undivided interests.

   Except as required by law, neither the trustee nor the indenture trustee, if
applicable, will have any liability for any aspect of the records relating to
or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of securities of
any series held by DTC's nominee, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Definitive Securities

   Unless otherwise stated in the related prospectus supplement, the securities
of a given series will be issued in fully registered, certificated form to
securityholders or their respective nominees, rather than to DTC or its
nominee, only if

  .  the related trustee or, if applicable, the indenture trustee determines
     that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
     responsibilities as depository with respect to the related securities
     and such trustees are unable to locate a qualified successor,

  .  the trustee or, if applicable, the indenture trustee elects to terminate
     the book-entry system through DTC, or

  .  after the occurrence of a default by the servicer under the applicable
     trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement,
     Security Owners representing at least a majority of the outstanding
     principal amount of the securities of such series, advise the related
     trustee through DTC that the continuation of a book-entry system through
     DTC (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the best interests of the
     related Security Owners.

   Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in the immediately
preceding paragraph, the related trustee will be required to notify the related
Security Owners, through DTC participants, of the availability of definitive
securities. Upon surrender by DTC of the certificates representing all
securities of any affected class and the receipt of instructions for re-
registration, the trustee or indenture trustee will issue definitive securities
to the related Security Owners. Payments on the related definitive securities
will be made thereafter by the related trustee directly to the holders in whose
name the related definitive securities are registered at the close of business
on the applicable record date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in
this prospectus and in the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement and the indenture, if applicable. Payments will be made by
check mailed to the address of such holders as they appear on the register
specified in the related agreements; however, the final payment on any
securities (whether definitive securities or securities registered in the name
of a depository or its nominee) will be made only upon presentation and
surrender of such securities at the office or agency specified in the notice of
final payment to securityholders.

   Definitive securities will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices
of the related trustee (or any security registrar appointed thereby). No
service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange,
but such trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

Statements to Securityholders

   With respect to each series of securities, on or prior to each payment date,
the servicer (to the extent applicable to such securityholder) will prepare and
forward to the related trustee and, if applicable, the indenture trustee, to be
included with the payment to each securityholder of record a statement setting
forth for the related collection period the following information (and any
other information specified in the related prospectus supplement):

  (1) the amount of the payment allocable to principal of each class of
      securities of such series;

  (2) the amount of the payment allocable to interest on each class of
      securities of such series;

  (3) the amount of the servicing fee paid to the servicer with respect to
      the related collection period;

  (4) the aggregate principal balance of the notes or the certificate balance
      of the certificates and the Pool Factor for each class of securities of
      such series as of the payment date after giving effect to all payments
      under clause (1) above on such date;

  (5) the balance of any spread account or other form of credit enhancement,
      after giving effect to any additions thereto or withdrawals therefrom
      or reductions thereto to be made on the following payment date;

  (6) with respect to any series of securities as to which a pre-funding
      account has been established, for payment dates during the funding
      period, the remaining pre-funded amount; and

  (7) with respect to any series of securities as to which a pre-funding
      account has been established, for the payment date that falls on or
      immediately after the end of the funding period, the amount, if any, of
      the pre-funded amount that has not been used to purchase subsequent
      receivables.

  (8) the aggregate net losses on the receivables for the related collection
      period;

  (9) the aggregate principal balance of all receivables which were
      delinquent 30 days or more as of the last day of the related collection
      period; and

  (10) the amount of advances from the servicer made on such payment date;
       the aggregate amount of outstanding advances on such payment date; and
       the amount of advances reimbursed to the servicer on such payment date
       based on the fact that the related receivable became a defaulted
       receivable during the prior collection period.

   In addition, within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting purposes
after the end of each calendar year during the term of each trust, the related
trustee or indenture trustee, as applicable, will mail to each person who at
any time during such calendar year shall have been a registered securityholder
a statement containing certain information for the purposes of such
securityholder's preparation of federal income tax returns. See "Federal Income
Tax Consequences."

List of Securityholders

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each
trustee and indenture trustee, within 15 days after receipt of written request
of the servicer, will provide the servicer with a list of the names and
addresses of all holders of record as of the most recent record date of the
related series of securities. In addition, three or more holders of the
securities of any series or one or more holders of such securities evidencing
not less than 25% of the applicable aggregate principal balance of the
certificates or 25% of the applicable aggregate principal balance of the notes,
as the case may be, may, by written request to the related trustee or indenture
trustee, obtain access to the list of all certificateholders or noteholders, as
the case may be, maintained by such trustee for the purpose of communicating
with other certificateholders or noteholders with respect to their rights under
the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement,
under the indenture, if applicable, or under such securities.

             DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS

   The following summary describes certain terms of (1) each purchase
agreement pursuant to which the depositor will purchase receivables from BVAC
and (2) each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement
pursuant to which a trust will be created and will purchase receivables from
the depositor and the servicer will agree to service such receivables and
pursuant to which securities may be issued (collectively, the "Transfer and
Servicing Agreements"). If the trust also issues a series of notes, the notes
will be issued pursuant to an indenture. See "The Indenture" in this
prospectus. Forms of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements have been filed as
exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
This summary of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements is not complete. For a
more detailed description of the agreements, you should read the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements and the related prospectus supplement.

Sale and Assignment of Receivables

   On the related closing date:

     (1) BVAC will sell and assign to the depositor pursuant to the related
  purchase agreement, without recourse, its entire right in the related
  receivables, including its security interests in the related financed
  vehicles;

     (2) the depositor will sell and assign to the related trust pursuant to
  the applicable Transfer and Servicing Agreements, without recourse, (a) its
  entire right in such receivables, including the security interests in the
  financed vehicles, and (b) if so provided in the related prospectus
  supplement, the applicable pre-funded amount; and

     (3) in the case of a series of notes issued by a trust, the trust will
  pledge its entire right in such receivables and the other property of the
  trust as collateral for repayment of the notes.

   Each receivable will be identified in a schedule appearing as an exhibit to
the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Concurrently with the sale and
assignment of the receivables and, if applicable, the pre-funded amount to the
related trust, the trustee or indenture trustee will execute, authenticate and
deliver the related series of securities to the depositor, or the trust, as
applicable, in exchange for such receivables and such pre-funded amount, if
any. The related prospectus supplement will specify whether the property of a
trust will include the pre-funded amount and, if so, the terms, conditions and
manner under which subsequent receivables will be sold and assigned by the
depositor to the related trust and, if applicable, the related indenture
trustee.

   In each purchase agreement, BVAC will represent and warrant to the
depositor, among other things, that:

     (1) the information provided with respect to the related receivables is
  correct in all material respects;

     (2) the obligor on each such receivable has obtained or agreed to obtain
  and maintain physical damage insurance covering the financed vehicle in
  accordance with BVAC's normal requirements;

     (3) at the closing date, with respect to receivables conveyed to a trust
  on the closing date, and on the applicable subsequent transfer date with
  respect to any subsequent receivables, the receivables are free and clear
  of all security interests, liens, charges and encumbrances, other than the
  lien of the depositor, and no offsets, defenses or counterclaims against
  the depositor or BVAC have been asserted or threatened with respect to the
  related receivables;

     (4) at the closing date or subsequent transfer date, as applicable, each
  of the related receivables secured by a financed vehicle registered in the
  State of California is secured by a first priority perfected security
  interest in the related financed vehicle in favor of the trustee on behalf
  of the trust as secured party or all necessary action has been taken by
  BVAC, or one of the other Named Lienholders to secure such a first priority
  perfected security interest; and

                                      21
<PAGE>

     (5) each of the related receivables, at the time it was originated,
  complied and, at the closing date or subsequent transfer date, as
  applicable, complies, in all material respects with applicable federal and
  state laws, including, without limitation, consumer credit, truth in
  lending, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.

   As of the last day of any collection period following the discovery by or
notice to BVAC of a breach of any such representation or warranty that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the depositor or its
assignee in a receivable (or as of the last day of the preceding collection
period, if BVAC so elects), BVAC, unless it has cured such breach, will
repurchase the receivable at a price equal to the unpaid principal balance
owed by the obligor thereon plus, accrued interest on such amount at the
contract rate of such receivable to the date of purchase, and such receivable
will be considered a purchased receivable as of the purchase date. In each
trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, the
depositor will assign certain rights under the related purchase agreement to
the related trust, and in each indenture, the trust will assign such rights
under the related purchase agreement to the related indenture trustee. Such
rights include the right to cause BVAC to repurchase receivables with respect
to which it is in breach of any such representation and warranty. The
repurchase obligation of BVAC pursuant to each Transfer and Servicing
Agreement or indenture will constitute the sole remedy available to the
related securityholders or applicable trustee for any uncured breach of a
representation or warranty.

Sale and Assignment of Subsequent Receivables

   If the related prospectus supplement provides that the property of a trust
will include a pre-funding account, BVAC will be obligated to sell and assign
to the depositor pursuant to the related purchase agreement, and the depositor
will be obligated to sell and assign to the related trust pursuant to the
related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement,
subsequent receivables from time to time during the funding period in an
aggregate outstanding principal amount approximately equal to the pre-funded
amount. If the trust issues a series of notes, the trust will pledge its right
in such subsequent receivables to the indenture trustee as collateral for
payment of the notes. The related trust will be obligated pursuant to the
related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement to
purchase all such subsequent receivables from the depositor, and, as
applicable, the related indenture trustee will be obligated pursuant to the
related indenture to accept the pledge of such subsequent receivables from the
trust, subject to the satisfaction, on or before the related subsequent
transfer date, of the following conditions precedent, among others:

     (1) each such subsequent receivable shall satisfy the eligibility
  criteria specified in the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling
  and servicing agreement and shall not have been selected from among the
  eligible receivables in a manner that BVAC or the depositor deems adverse
  to the interests of the related securityholders;

     (2) as of the applicable cutoff date for such subsequent receivables,
  all of the receivables in the related trust, including the subsequent
  receivables to be conveyed to the trust as of such date, must satisfy the
  parameters described under "The Receivables Pools" in this prospectus and
  "The Receivables Pool" in the related prospectus supplement;

     (3) any required deposit to any spread account or other similar account
  must have been made; and

     (4) BVAC must execute and deliver to the depositor, the depositor must
  execute and deliver to such trust, and, if applicable, the trust must
  execute and deliver to the indenture trustee, a written assignment
  conveying such subsequent receivables to the depositor, the related trust
  and the indenture trustee, respectively.

                                      22
<PAGE>

   In addition, the conveyance of subsequent receivables to a trust is subject
to the satisfaction of the following conditions subsequent, among others, each
of which must be satisfied within the applicable time period specified in the
related prospectus supplement:

  (1) the depositor must deliver certain opinions of counsel to the related
      owner trustee and, if applicable, the indenture trustee with respect to
      the validity of the conveyance of such subsequent receivables to the
      trust and, if applicable, the indenture trustee;

  (2) the applicable trustee must receive written confirmation from a firm of
      certified independent public accountants that, as of the end of the
      period specified therein, the receivables in the related receivables
      pool, including all such subsequent receivables, satisfied the
      parameters described under "The Receivables Pools" in this prospectus
      and "The Receivables Pool" in the related prospectus supplement; and

  (3) each of the rating agencies must have notified the depositor in writing
      that, following the conveyance of the subsequent receivables to the
      trust and, if applicable, the pledge of the subsequent receivables to
      the indenture trustee, each class of securities of the related series
      will have the same rating assigned to it by such rating agency that it
      had on the related closing date.

   If any such conditions precedent or conditions subsequent are not met with
respect to any subsequent receivables within the time period specified in the
related prospectus supplement, BVAC will be required under the related Transfer
and Servicing Agreement to repurchase such subsequent receivables from the
related trust, at a purchase price equal to the related purchase amounts
therefor.

Accounts

   Collection or Certificate Account. With respect to each trust, the depositor
will establish and the servicer will maintain one or more accounts with and in
the name of the related trust on behalf of the related securityholders, into
which all payments made on or in respect of the related receivables will be
deposited (as described in this prospectus) and from which all payments or
distributions with respect to the related securities will be made. The amounts
on deposit in this account will be invested by the applicable trustee in
eligible investments.

   Payahead Account. If so provided in the related prospectus supplement, the
servicer will establish a payahead account in the name of the related trust and
for the benefit of obligors on the receivables, into which, to the extent
required by the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
agreement, payaheads on precomputed receivables will be deposited until such
time as the payment becomes due. Until such time as payments are transferred
from the payahead account to the collection or certificate account, they will
not constitute collected interest or collected principal and will not be
available for distribution to securityholders. The payahead account will
initially be maintained with the applicable trustee. Interest earned on the
balance in the payahead account will be remitted to the servicer monthly.
Collections on a precomputed receivable made during a collection period shall
be applied first to any overdue scheduled payment on such receivable, then to
the scheduled payment on such receivable due in such collection period. If any
collections remaining after the scheduled payment is made are insufficient to
prepay the precomputed receivable in full, then generally such remaining
collections shall be transferred to and kept in the payahead account until such
later collection period as the collections may be retransferred to the
collection or certificate account and applied either to a later scheduled
payment or to prepay such receivable in full.

   Pre-Funding Account. If so provided in the related prospectus supplement,
the servicer will establish and maintain a pre-funding account in the name of
the related owner trustee (or, in the case of a series of securities which
includes notes, the indenture trustee) on behalf of the related
securityholders, into which the depositor or the trust, as applicable, will
deposit the pre-funded amount on the related closing date. In no event will the
pre-funded amount exceed 25% of the original aggregate principal balance of the
receivables pool for the related series of securities. The pre-funded amount
will be used by the related trustee to purchase subsequent

                                       23
<PAGE>

receivables from the depositor from time to time during the funding period. The
amounts on deposit in the pre-funding account during the funding period will be
invested by the applicable trustee in eligible investments. Any investment
income, net of any related investment expenses, received on the eligible
investments during a collection period will be included in the interest
distribution amount on the following payment date. The funding period, if any,
for a trust will begin on the related closing date and will end on the date
specified in the related prospectus supplement, which in no event will be later
than the date that is three calendar months after the related closing date. Any
amounts remaining in the pre-funding account at the end of the funding period
will be distributed to the related securityholders, in the manner and priority
specified in the related prospectus supplement, as a prepayment of principal of
the related securities.

   Other Accounts; Investment of Trust Funds. Any other accounts to be
established with respect to a trust, including any spread account, payment
account or yield supplement account, will be described in the related
prospectus supplement.

   For each series of securities, funds in the collection or certificate
account, pre-funding account and any other trust accounts identified as such in
the related prospectus supplement will be invested in eligible investments as
provided in the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement or, if applicable, the
indenture, and any related investment income will be distributed as described
in this prospectus and in the related prospectus supplement. Eligible
investments generally will be limited to investments acceptable to the rating
agencies as being consistent with the rating of the related securities. Except
as may be otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, eligible
investments will include:

  (1) direct obligations of, and obligations guaranteed by, the United States
      of America, Fannie Mae, or any instrumentality of the United States of
      America;

  (2) demand and time deposits in or similar obligations of any depository
      institution or trust company (including the trustees or any agent of
      the trustees, acting in their respective commercial capacities) having
      an approved rating of at least P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
      or A-1+ by Standard & Poor's Rating Services (an "Approved Rating") or
      any other deposit which is fully insured by the Federal Deposit
      Insurance Corporation;

  (3) repurchase obligations with respect to any security issued or
      guaranteed by an instrumentality of the United States of America
      entered into with a depository institution or trust company having an
      Approved Rating (acting as principal);

  (4) short-term corporate securities bearing interest or sold at a discount
      issued by any corporation incorporated under the laws of the United
      States of America or any State, the short-term unsecured obligations of
      which have an Approved Rating, or higher, at the time of such
      investment;

  (5) commercial paper having an Approved Rating at the time of such
      investment;

  (6) a guaranteed investment contract issued by any insurance company or
      other corporation acceptable to the rating agencies;

  (7) interests in any money market fund having a rating of Aaa by Moody's
      Investors Service, Inc. or AAAm by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services;
      and

  (8) any other investment approved in advance in writing by the rating
      agencies.

   Except as described in this prospectus or in the related prospectus
supplement, eligible investments will be limited to obligations or securities
that mature on or before the date of the next scheduled distribution to
securityholders of such series; provided, however, that, unless the related
prospectus supplement requires otherwise, each trust and servicing agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement and indenture, if applicable, will generally
permit the investment of funds in any spread account or similar type of credit
enhancement account to be invested in eligible investments without the
limitation that such eligible investments mature not later than the business
day prior to the next succeeding payment date if (1) the servicer obtains a
liquidity

                                       24
<PAGE>

facility or similar arrangement with respect to such spread account or other
account and (2) each rating agency that initially rated the related securities
confirms in writing that the ratings of such securities will not be lowered or
withdrawn as a result of eliminating or modifying such limitation.

   The accounts established on behalf of the trusts will be maintained as
eligible deposit accounts. Eligible deposit account means either:

  (1) a segregated account with an eligible institution, or

  (2) a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a
      depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of
      America or any one of the states thereof or the District of Columbia
      (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), having corporate trust
      powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in such account, so
      long as any of the securities of such depository institution have a
      credit rating from each rating agency in one of its generic rating
      categories that signifies investment grade.

   Eligible institution means, with respect to a trust,

  (1) the corporate trust department of the applicable trustee, or

  (2) a depository institution organized under the laws of the United States
      of America or any one of the states thereof or the District of Columbia
      (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank)

    (a) that has either (i) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least
        Baa3 from Moody's Investor's Service, Inc. or at least BBB- from
        Standard & Poor's Ratings Services or (ii) a long-term unsecured
        debt rating, a short-term unsecured debt rating or a certificate of
        deposit rating acceptable to the rating agencies, and

    (b) whose deposits are insured by the FDIC.

Servicing Procedures

   The servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments due with
respect to the receivables and, consistent with the related trust and servicing
agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, will follow such collection
procedures as it follows with respect to comparable automotive installment
contracts that it owns or services for others. The servicer will continue to
follow such normal collection practices and procedures as it deems necessary or
advisable to realize upon any receivables with respect to which the servicer
determines that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The servicer may sell the
financed vehicle securing such receivables at a public or private sale, or take
any other action permitted by applicable law.

   Consistent with its normal procedures, the servicer may, in its discretion,
arrange with the obligor on a receivable to extend or modify the payment
schedule. If, however, the extension of a payment schedule causes a receivable
to remain outstanding on the latest final scheduled payment date of any class
of securities with respect to a series of securities specified in the related
prospectus supplement, the servicer will purchase such receivable as of the
last day of the collection period preceding such final scheduled payment date.
The servicer's purchase obligation will constitute the sole remedy available to
the related securityholders or applicable trustee for any such modification of
a receivable.

Collections

   With respect to each trust, the servicer will deposit all payments (from
whatever source) on and all proceeds of the related receivables collected
during a collection period into the related collection or certificate account
not later than two business days after receipt thereof. However, at any time
that and for so long as (1) BVAC is the servicer, (2) no servicer default under
the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to the servicer and (3) each other
condition to making deposits less frequently than daily as may be specified by
the rating agencies or set forth in the related

                                       25
<PAGE>

prospectus supplement is satisfied, the servicer will not be required to
deposit such amounts into the collection or certificate account until on or
before the applicable payment date. Pending deposit into the collection or
certificate account, collections may be invested by the servicer at its own
risk and for its own benefit and will not be segregated from its own funds. If
the servicer were unable to remit such funds, securityholders might incur a
loss. To the extent set forth in the related prospectus supplement, the
servicer may, in order to satisfy the requirements described above, obtain a
letter of credit or other security for the benefit of the related trust to
secure timely remittances of collections on the related receivables and payment
of the aggregate purchase amounts with respect to receivables purchased by the
servicer.

   Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, payaheads
on precomputed receivables will be transferred from the collection or
certificate account and deposited into the payahead account for subsequent
transfer to the collection or certificate account, as described above under "--
Accounts."

Advances

   Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, if a
receivable is delinquent more than 30 days at the end of a collection period,
the servicer will make an advance in the amount of 30 days of interest due on
such receivable, but only to the extent that the servicer, in its sole
discretion, expects to recover the advance from subsequent collections on the
receivable or from withdrawals from any spread account or other form of credit
enhancement. The servicer will deposit advances in the collection or
certificate account on or prior to the date specified therefor in the related
prospectus supplement. If the servicer determines that reimbursement of an
advance from subsequent payments on or with respect to the related receivable
is unlikely, the servicer may recover such advance from insurance proceeds,
collections made on other receivables or from any other source specified in the
related prospectus supplement.

Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, the
servicer will be entitled to receive a servicing fee with respect to each
trust, at a rate equal to one percent (1.00%) per annum, payable monthly at
one-twelfth the annual rate, of the related aggregate principal balance of the
receivables pool as of the beginning of the related collection period. Unless
otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, the servicer also will
collect and retain any late fees, prepayment charges, other administrative fees
or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to the receivables
and will be entitled to reimbursement from each trust for certain liabilities.

   The servicing fee will compensate the servicer for performing the functions
of a third-party servicer of automotive receivables as an agent for the related
trust, including collecting and posting all payments, making advances,
responding to inquiries of obligors on the receivables, investigating
delinquencies, sending payment coupons to obligors, and overseeing the
collateral in cases of obligor default. The servicing fee will also compensate
the servicer for administering the related receivables pool, including
accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the
related trustee with respect to distributions, and generating federal income
tax information for such trust and for the related securityholders. The
servicing fee also will reimburse the servicer for certain taxes, accounting
fees, outside auditor fees, data processing costs, and other costs incurred in
connection with administering the applicable receivables pool.

Payments and Distributions

   With respect to each series of securities, beginning on the payment date
specified in the related prospectus supplement, payments of principal and
interest (or, where applicable, of interest only or principal only) on each
class of securities entitled thereto will be made by the related trustee to the
related securityholders. The timing, calculation, allocation, order, source and
priorities of, and requirements for, all payments to the holders of each class
of securities will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement.


                                       26
<PAGE>

   With respect to each trust, collections on or with respect to the related
receivables will be deposited into the related collection or certificate
account for distribution to the related securityholders on each payment date to
the extent and in the priority provided in the related prospectus supplement.
Credit enhancement, such as a spread account, yield supplement account or other
arrangement, may be available to cover shortfalls in the amount available for
distribution on such date to the extent specified in the related prospectus
supplement. As more fully described in the related prospectus supplement, and
unless otherwise specified therein, payments in respect of principal of a class
of securities of a series will be subordinate to payments in respect of
interest on such class, and payments in respect of one or more classes of
securities of a series may be subordinate to payments in respect of other
classes of securities. Payments of principal on the securities of a series may
be based on the amount of principal collected or due, or the amount of realized
losses incurred, in a collection period or, to the extent provided in the
related prospectus supplement, may be made on an accelerated basis subject to
the availability of excess cash flow from the receivables.

Credit Enhancement

   The amounts and types of any credit enhancement arrangements and the
provider thereof, if applicable, with respect to each class of securities of a
series will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement. To the extent
provided in the related prospectus supplement, credit or cash flow enhancement
may be in the form of subordination of one or more classes of securities,
spread accounts, cash collateral accounts, reserve accounts, yield supplement
accounts, insurance policies, letters of credit, surety bonds, over-
collateralization, credit or liquidity facilities, guaranteed investment
contracts, swaps or other interest rate protection agreements, repurchase
obligations, other agreements with respect to third-party payments or other
support, cash deposits, or such other arrangements as may be described in the
related prospectus supplement, or any combination of the foregoing. If
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, credit or cash flow
enhancement for a class of securities may cover one or more other classes of
securities of the same series, and credit enhancement for a series of
securities may cover one or more other series of securities.

   The existence of a spread account or other form of credit enhancement for
the benefit of any class or series of securities is intended to enhance the
likelihood of receipt by the securityholders of such class or series of the
full amount of principal and interest due thereon and to decrease the
likelihood that such securityholders will experience losses. Unless otherwise
specified in the related prospectus supplement, the credit enhancement for a
class or series of securities will not provide protection against all risks of
loss and will not guarantee repayment of all principal and interest thereon. If
losses occur which exceed the amount covered by such credit enhancement or
which are not covered by such credit enhancement, securityholders will bear
their allocable share of such losses, as described in the related prospectus
supplement. In addition, if a form of credit enhancement covers more than one
series of securities, securityholders of any such series will be subject to the
risk that such credit enhancement may be exhausted by the claims of
securityholders of other series.

   Spread Account. If so provided in the related prospectus supplement,
pursuant to the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
agreement or indenture, if applicable, the depositor or the trust, as
applicable, will cause the applicable trustee to establish a spread account for
a series or class or classes of securities, which will be maintained with such
trustee. To the extent provided in the related prospectus supplement, a spread
account may be funded by an initial deposit by the depositor on the closing
date in the amount set forth in the related prospectus supplement and, if the
related series has a funding period, may also be funded on each subsequent
transfer date to the extent described in the related prospectus supplement. As
further described in the related prospectus supplement, the amount on deposit
in the spread account may be increased or reinstated on each payment date, to
the extent described in the related prospectus supplement, by the deposit
thereto of the amount of collections on the related receivables remaining on
such payment date after the payment of all other required payments and
distributions on such date. The related prospectus supplement will describe the
circumstances under which and the manner in which distributions may be made out
of any such spread account, either to holders of the certificates covered
thereby or to the depositor or to any other entity.

                                       27

Evidence of Compliance

   Each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement will
provide that a firm of independent public accountants will furnish annually to
the related trustee a statement as to compliance by the servicer during the
preceding twelve months with certain standards relating to the servicing of the
receivables.

   Each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement will
also provide for delivery to the related trustee each year of a certificate
signed by an officer of the servicer stating that the servicer has fulfilled
its obligations under such agreements throughout the preceding twelve months
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
describing each such default. The servicer has agreed or will agree to give
each trustee notice of the occurrence of certain servicer defaults under the
related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement.

   Copies of the foregoing statements and certificates may be obtained by
securityholders by a request in writing addressed to the related trustee or
indenture trustee at the Corporate Trust Office for such trustee specified in
the related prospectus supplement.

Certain Matters Regarding the Servicer

   Each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement will
provide that BVAC may not resign from its obligations and duties as servicer
thereunder, except upon determination that BVAC's performance of such duties is
no longer permissible under applicable law. Under certain circumstances, BVAC
may transfer its obligations and duties as servicer to a qualified affiliate.
No such assignment or resignation will become effective until the related
trustee or a successor servicer has assumed BVAC's servicing obligations and
duties under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
agreement.

   Each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement will
further provide that neither the servicer nor any of its directors, officers,
employees and agents will be under any liability to the related trust or
securityholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action
pursuant to the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
agreement or for errors in judgment, except that neither the servicer nor any
such person will be protected against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of the servicer's duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties thereunder. In addition, each trust and servicing
agreement or pooling and servicing agreement will provide that the servicer is
under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is
not incidental to its servicing responsibilities under such agreements and
that, in its opinion, may cause it to incur any expense or liability.

   Under the circumstances specified in each trust and servicing agreement or
pooling and servicing agreement, any entity into which BVAC may be merged or
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
BVAC is a party, or any entity succeeding to the indirect automobile financing
and receivable servicing business of BVAC, which corporation or other entity
assumes the obligations of the servicer, will be the successor to the servicer
under such agreements.

Servicer Defaults

   Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, servicer
defaults under each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
agreement will consist of:

  (1) any failure by the servicer or BVAC to deliver to the related owner
      trustee or, if applicable, the indenture trustee for payment to the
      related securityholders any required payment, which failure continues
      unremedied for five business days after written notice to the servicer
      of such failure from the applicable trustee or holders of the related
      securities evidencing not less than 25% of the

                                       28
<PAGE>

     aggregate principal balance of the notes (or aggregate principal balance
     of the certificates and/or notional principal amount, if applicable);

  (2) any failure by the servicer, BVAC or the depositor duly to observe or
      perform in any material respect any covenant or agreement in the
      related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing
      agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of
      the related securityholders and which continues unremedied for 60 days
      after written notice of such failure is given to the servicer, BVAC or
      the depositor, as the case may be, by the related owner trustee, or, if
      applicable, the indenture trustee, or holders of the related securities
      evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate principal balance of the
      notes (or aggregate principal balance of the certificates and/or
      notional principal amount, if applicable); and

  (3) certain events of insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
      assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings with respect to the
      servicer and certain actions by the servicer indicating its insolvency,
      reorganization pursuant to bankruptcy proceedings or inability to pay
      its obligations.

Rights Upon Servicer Default

   Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, as long as a
servicer default under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement remains unremedied, the related owner trustee or, if
applicable, indenture trustee, upon direction to do so by holders of securities
of the related series evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate principal
balance of the notes (or aggregate principal balance of the certificates and/or
notional principal amount, if applicable) may terminate all the rights and
obligations of the servicer under such agreements, whereupon a successor
servicer appointed by the related trustee or such trustee will succeed to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the servicer under such
agreements and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If,
however, a bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been appointed for the
servicer, and no servicer default other than such appointment has occurred,
such trustee or official may have the power to prevent the related trustee or
the related securityholders from effecting a transfer of servicing. If the
related trustee is unwilling or unable to act as successor to the servicer,
such trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, a successor with assets of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the servicing of automotive receivables. The related trustee
may arrange for compensation to be paid to such successor servicer, which in no
event may be greater than the servicing compensation paid to the servicer under
the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement.

Waiver of Past Defaults

   Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, holders of
securities evidencing not less than a majority of the related aggregate
principal balance of the notes (or aggregate principal balance of the
certificates or notional principal amount, if applicable) may, on behalf of all
such securityholders, waive any default by the servicer in the performance of
its obligations under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement and its consequences, except a default in making any
required deposits to or payments from any account in accordance with the trust
and servicing agreement. No such waiver will impair the securityholders' rights
with respect to subsequent servicer defaults.

Amendment

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each trust
and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement may be amended from
time to time by the depositor, the servicer, the trust and the related owner
trustee or, if applicable, indenture trustee, without the consent of the
related securityholders, to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any
provision therein that may be inconsistent with other provisions therein, or to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
such agreements that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the
agreements; provided that such action shall not,

                                       29
<PAGE>

in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the related trustee, materially and
adversely affect the interests of any related securityholder. Each trust and
servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement may also be amended by
the depositor, the servicer and the related trustee with the consent of the
holders of the related securities evidencing not less than 51% of the related
aggregate principal balance of the notes (or aggregate principal balance of the
certificates or notional principal amount, if applicable) for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of such agreements or of modifying in any manner the rights of such
securityholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may (1) increase or
reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of,
collections of payments on or in respect of the related receivables or
distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of such
securityholders or (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the aggregate
principal balance of such series that is required to consent to any such
amendment, without the consent of the holders of all of the outstanding
securities of such series. No amendment of the trust and servicing agreement
will be permitted unless an opinion of counsel is delivered to the trustee to
the effect that such amendment will not adversely affect the tax status of the
trust.

Termination

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, the
obligations of the servicer, the depositor, the trust and the related owner
trustee or indenture trustee pursuant to the applicable trust and servicing
agreement or pooling and servicing agreement or indenture, if applicable, will
terminate upon the earliest to occur of (1) the maturity or other liquidation
of the last receivable in the related receivables pool and the disposition of
any amounts received upon liquidation of any such remaining receivables, (2)
the payment to the related securityholders of all amounts required to be paid
to them pursuant to the applicable trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement and, in the case of a series of notes issued by a trust,
the indenture, and (3) the occurrence of certain insolvency events, to the
extent set forth in the related prospectus supplement.

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, in order to
avoid excessive administrative expenses, the servicer or one or more other
entities identified in the related prospectus supplement, will be permitted, at
its option, to purchase from each trust or to cause such trust to sell all
remaining receivables in the related receivables pool as of the end of any
collection period, if the aggregate principal balance of the receivables pool
as of the end of the related collection period would be less than or equal to
the level set forth in the related prospectus supplement. The purchase price
will be equal to the fair market value of such receivables, but not less than
the sum of (1) the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the receivables
pool and (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such amount computed at a rate
equal to the weighted average contract rate of the receivables, minus any
amount representing payments received on the receivables and not yet applied to
reduce the principal balance thereof or interest related thereto or the
weighted average interest rate applicable to any outstanding securities as
specified in the related prospectus supplement.

                                 THE INDENTURE

   The following summary describes certain terms of each indenture pursuant to
which a trust will issue a series of notes, if any. The summary assumes that
the notes are insured by an insurance policy and, if the related prospectus
supplement provides that the notes will be insured by a policy, the insurer
will control the exercise of the rights and remedies of the noteholders unless
the insurer is in default under the policy. A form of indenture has been filed
as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The following summary is not complete. For a more detailed description of the
indenture, you should read the indenture and the related prospectus supplement.

                                       30
<PAGE>

Default under the Indenture

   With respect to the notes of a given series, unless otherwise specified in
the related prospectus supplement, an indenture default under the related
indenture will occur if:

  .  the trust fails to pay any interest or principal on any note after such
     amounts are due and payable for five or more days after notice thereof
     is given to the trust by the indenture trustee, or if applicable, the
     insurer, or after notice is given to such trust and the indenture
     trustee by the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the
     outstanding notes;

  .  the trust defaults in the observance or performance of any covenant or
     agreement that it made in the related indenture and the default
     continues for a period of 90 days after notice is given to such trust by
     the indenture trustee or, if applicable, the insurer, or after notice is
     given to such trust and such indenture trustee by the holders of at
     least 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding notes;

  .  the trust makes any representation or warranty in the related indenture
     (or in any certificate delivered in connection with such indenture) that
     was incorrect in a material respect as of the time made, and such breach
     is not cured within 30 days after notice is given to such trust by the
     indenture trustee or, if applicable, the insurer, or after notice is
     given to such trust and such indenture trustee by the holders of at
     least 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding notes (voting as a
     single class); or

  .  certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of
     the applicable trust (a "Trust Bankruptcy Event") occur.

   Either the insurer or the noteholders may declare an indenture default. The
insurer will control the remedy for an indenture default, unless the insurer is
in default under the policy, in which case the noteholders will control the
remedy. The party who declares the indenture default may give notice and
accelerate the payment of principal in respect of the notes, declaring the
principal on the notes immediately due and payable.

   If an indenture default occurs and the insurer is not in default under the
Policy, the insurer will have the right to control the remedy. The insurer may,
at its discretion, require the indenture trustee to liquidate the property of
the trust, in whole or in part, on any date following the acceleration of the
notes due to such indenture default. Such liquidation will cause a full or
partial redemption of the notes. However, the insurer may not cause the
indenture trustee to liquidate the property of the trust if the liquidation
proceeds would not be enough to pay all outstanding principal and accrued
interest on the notes, unless the indenture default arose from a Trust
Bankruptcy Event.

   If an indenture default occurs and the insurer is in default under the
policy, the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate principal
balance of the notes then outstanding (voting as a single class) will have the
right to control the remedies available under the indenture with respect to
such default, including the right to direct the indenture trustee to liquidate
the property of the trust. However, the noteholders may not direct the
indenture trustee to liquidate the property of the trust unless the indenture
default arose from a Trust Bankruptcy Event.

   Following an indenture default and acceleration of the notes, the indenture
trustee will continue to submit claims under the policy for any shortfalls in
amounts needed to make payments on the notes, unless the party controlling the
remedies liquidates the property of the trust. If the insurer or the
noteholders elect to liquidate the trust property upon the occurrence of a
Trust Bankruptcy Event, as described above, the policy should be available to
cover losses to noteholders resulting from the liquidation of the trust assets.
Upon such a payment following a liquidation of all of the trust's assets, the
policy will be terminated, and the insurer will have no further obligation to
make any additional payment under the policy.

   If the noteholders control the remedy upon an indenture default and wish to
sell the trust's assets upon a Trust Bankruptcy Event, the noteholders may
determine to sell the receivables whether or not the proceeds of such sale will
be sufficient to pay any portion of the principal and interest payable with
respect to any

                                       31
<PAGE>

subordinated class of notes. Upon such a sale of the receivables by the
indenture trustee, if the insurer remains in default and the proceeds from such
sale and any amounts on deposit in the spread account and the collection or
certificate account are not sufficient to pay all the notes in full, then the
subordinated class of notes will bear losses as described in the prospectus
supplement.

Certain Covenants

   Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement with respect to a
series of securities that includes notes, each indenture will provide that the
related trust may not consolidate with or merge into any other entity, unless:

  .  the entity formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger is
     organized under the laws of the United States, any state or the District
     of Columbia;

  .  such entity expressly assumes the trust's obligation to make due and
     punctual payments on the notes of the related series and the performance
     or observance of every obligation of the trust under the indenture;

  .  no indenture default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately
     after such merger or consolidation;

  .  the indenture trustee has been advised that the rating of the securities
     of such series then in effect would not be reduced or withdrawn by any
     rating agency as a result of such merger or consolidation; and

  .  the indenture trustee has received an opinion of counsel to the effect
     that such consolidation or merger would have no material adverse tax
     consequence to the trust or to any of its noteholders.

  Each trust that issues notes will not, among other things:

  .  except as expressly permitted by the applicable indenture, the
     applicable Transfer and Servicing Agreements or certain related
     documents with respect to such trust, sell, transfer, exchange or
     otherwise dispose of any of the assets of such trust;

  .  claim any credit on or make any deduction from the principal and
     interest payable in respect of the notes of the related series (other
     than amounts withheld under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended (the "Code") or applicable state law) or assert any claim
     against any present or former holder of such notes because of the
     payment of taxes levied or assessed upon such trust;

  .  permit the validity or effectiveness of the related indenture to be
     impaired or permit any person to be released from any covenants or
     obligations with respect to such notes under such indenture except as
     may be expressly permitted thereby;

  .  dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part until the notes are repaid or
     will be repaid as a result thereof; or

  .  permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or
     other encumbrance to be created on or extend to or otherwise impair the
     assets of such trust or the proceeds thereof.

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

   An indenture will be discharged with respect to the collateral securing the
related notes upon the delivery to the indenture trustee for cancellation of
all such notes or, with certain limitations, upon deposit with such indenture
trustee of funds sufficient for the payment in full of all such notes.

Modification of Indenture

   With respect to each trust that issues notes, unless otherwise provided in
the related prospectus supplement, the trust and the indenture trustee may,
with the consent of the holders of notes of the related

                                       32
<PAGE>

series evidencing not less than 51% of the outstanding principal balance of
such notes, acting as a single class and with the consent of the servicer
(which consent may not be unreasonably withheld) execute a supplemental
indenture to add to or change in any manner the indenture, or modify (except as
provided below) in any manner the rights of the noteholders.

   Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement with respect
to a series of securities which includes notes, the indenture may not be
amended to:

  .  change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest on
     any outstanding note or reduce the principal amount, the interest rate
     on or the redemption price with respect thereto or change the method,
     place, or currency of payment;

  .  impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of certain
     provisions of the indenture regarding payment;

  .  reduce the percentage of the aggregate amount of the outstanding notes
     of such series which is required for any such indenture supplement or
     the consent of the holders of which is required for any waiver of
     compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or defaults
     thereunder;

  .  modify or alter the provisions of the indenture regarding the voting of
     notes held by the applicable trust, the depositor or an affiliate of any
     of them;

  .  reduce the percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of such series
     which is required to direct the indenture trustee to sell or liquidate
     the receivables; or

  .  permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the
     lien of the indenture trustee with respect to any of the collateral for
     such notes or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated in such
     indenture, terminate the lien of such indenture on any such collateral
     or deprive the holder of any such note of the security afforded by the
     lien of such indenture trustee.

   Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement with
respect to a series that includes notes, the related trust and the indenture
trustee may also enter into supplemental indentures, without obtaining the
consent of the noteholders of the related series, but with the consent of the
servicer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld) for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of such
noteholders; provided that such action will not materially and adversely affect
the interest of any such noteholder.

                    CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE RECEIVABLES

Security Interest in Vehicles

   Installment sale contracts, such as those included in the receivables,
evidence the credit sale of automobiles, light-duty trucks, recreational
vehicles, motorcycles and vans by dealers to obligors; the contracts and the
installment loan and security agreements also constitute personal property
security agreements and include grants of security interests in the vehicles
under the UCC. Perfection of security interests in the vehicles is generally
governed by the motor vehicle registration laws of the state in which the
vehicle is located. In all of the states where BVAC currently acquires or
originates receivables, a security interest in a vehicle is perfected by
notation of the secured party's lien on the vehicle's certificate of title.
With respect to the receivables, the lien is or will be perfected in the name
of one of the Named Lienholders. A majority of the receivables are currently
originated in California and Texas. The terms of each receivable prohibit the
sale or transfer of the financed vehicle without the lienholder's consent.

   Pursuant to each purchase agreement, BVAC will assign its security interests
in the financed vehicles to the depositor along with the receivables. Pursuant
to each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and

                                       33
<PAGE>

servicing agreement, the depositor will sell its security interests in the
financed vehicles to the related trustee along with the receivables. In the
case of a series of notes issued by a trust, pursuant to each indenture, the
trust will grant the indenture trustee a security interest in its assets,
including the receivables and its security interest in the financed vehicles.
Because of the administrative burden and expense, neither the depositor nor the
applicable trustee will amend any certificate of title to identify itself as
the secured party.

   In most states, including California, an assignment in the form of a sale or
pledge such as that under the Transfer and Servicing Agreements or the
indenture should be an effective conveyance of a security interest without
amendment of any lien noted on a vehicle's certificate of title, and the
assignee succeeds thereby to the assignor's rights as secured party. In certain
other states, the laws governing certificates of title are silent on the
question of the effect of an assignment on the continued validity and
perfection of a security interest in vehicles. However, with respect to
security interests perfected by a central filing, the UCC in these states
provides that a security interest continues to be valid and perfected even
though the security interest has been assigned to a third party and no
amendments or other filings are made to reflect the assignment. The Permanent
Editorial Board for the UCC has adopted an official comment to the UCC that
provides that this rule also applies to a security interest in a vehicle which
is perfected by the notation of the lien on the certificate of title. Although
the Permanent Editorial Board commentary does not have the force of law, such
comments are typically given substantial weight by the courts.

   Other states, including Texas, have statutory provisions that address or
could be interpreted as addressing assignments. However, nearly all of these
statutory provisions either do not require compliance with the procedure
outlined to insure the continued validity and perfection of the lien or are
ambiguous on the issue of whether the procedure must be followed. Under the
official comment noted above, if these procedures for noting an assignee's name
on a certificate of title are determined to be merely permissive in nature, the
procedures would not have to be followed as a condition to the continued
validity and perfection of the security interest.

   By not identifying the trust or the indenture trustee as the secured party
on the certificate of title, the security interest of the trust or the
indenture trustee in the vehicle could be defeated through fraud or negligence.
In the absence of fraud or forgery by the vehicle owner or one of the Named
Lienholders, or administrative error by state or local agencies, the notation
of BVAC's lien on the certificates should be sufficient to protect the trust or
the indenture trustee against the right of subsequent purchasers of a vehicle
or subsequent lenders who take a security interest in a vehicle securing a
receivable. If there are any vehicles as to which one of the Named Lienholders
failed to obtain a perfected security interest, its security interest would be
subordinate to, among others, subsequent purchasers of the vehicles and holders
of perfected security interests. Such a failure would, however, constitute a
breach of warranties under the related Transfer and Servicing Agreements and
would create an obligation of BVAC to repurchase the related receivable, unless
such breach were cured in a timely manner. See "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of Receivables."

   Under the laws of most states, including California and Texas, the perfected
security interest in a vehicle continues for four months after a vehicle is
moved to a state other than the state which issued the certificate of title and
thereafter until the vehicle owner re-registers the vehicle in the new state. A
majority of states, including California and Texas, require surrender of a
certificate of title to re-register a vehicle. Since BVAC (or one of the other
Named Lienholders) will have its lien noted on the certificates of title and
the servicer will retain possession of the certificates of title issued by most
states in which receivables were or will be originated, the servicer would
ordinarily learn of an attempt at re-registration through the request from the
obligor to surrender possession of the certificate of title or would receive
notice of surrender from the state of re-registration since the security
interest would be noted on the certificate of title. Thus, the secured party
would have the opportunity to re-perfect its security interest in the vehicle
in the state of relocation. In states that do not require a certificate of
title for registration of a motor vehicle, re-registration could defeat
perfection.


                                       34
<PAGE>

   In the ordinary course of servicing receivables, the servicer takes steps to
effect re-perfection upon receipt of notice of re-registration or information
from the obligor as to relocation. Similarly, when an obligor sells a vehicle,
the servicer must surrender possession of the certificate of title or will
receive notice as a result of BVAC's (or one of the other Named Lienholders')
lien noted thereon and accordingly will have an opportunity to require
satisfaction of the related receivable before release of the lien. Under each
trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, the servicer
is obligated to take appropriate steps, at its own expense, to maintain
perfection of security interests in the financed vehicles.

   Under the laws of most states, including California and Texas, liens for
repairs performed on a motor vehicle and liens for unpaid taxes would take
priority over even a perfected security interest in a financed vehicle. In some
states, a perfected security interest in a financed vehicle may take priority
over liens for repairs.

   BVAC will represent and warrant in each Transfer and Servicing Agreement
that, as of the date of issuance of the securities, each security interest in a
financed vehicle is or will be prior to all other present liens (other than tax
liens and liens that arise by operation of law) upon and security interests in
such financed vehicle. However, liens for repairs or taxes could arise at any
time during the term of a receivable. No notice will be given to the trustee,
the indenture trustee or the securityholders in the event such a lien arises.

Repossession

   In the event of a default by vehicle purchasers, the holder of a retail
installment sale contract or an installment loan and security agreement has all
of the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, except where specifically
limited by other state laws. The remedy employed by the servicer in most cases
of default is self-help repossession and is accomplished simply by taking
possession of the financed vehicle. The self-help repossession remedy is
available under the UCC in most of the states in which receivables have been or
will be originated as long as the repossession can be accomplished without a
breach of the peace.

   In cases where the obligor objects or raises a defense to repossession, or
if otherwise required by applicable state law, a court order must be obtained
from the appropriate state court. The vehicle must then be repossessed in
accordance with that order.

Notice of Sale; Redemption Rights

   In the event of default by an obligor, some jurisdictions require that the
obligor be notified of the default and be given a time period within which the
obligor may cure the default prior to repossession. Some jurisdictions provide
for a similar right following repossession. Generally, this right of
reinstatement may be exercised on a limited number of occasions in any one-year
period.

   The UCC and other state laws require the secured party to provide an obligor
with reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any public sale and/or
the date after which any private sale of the collateral may be held. The
obligor generally has the right to redeem the collateral prior to actual sale
by paying the secured party the unpaid principal balance of the obligation plus
reasonable expenses for repossessing, holding, and preparing the collateral for
disposition and arranging for its sale, and, to the extent provided in the
related retail installment sale contract, and, as permitted by law, reasonable
attorneys' fees.

Deficiency Judgments and Excess Proceeds

   The proceeds of resale of financed vehicles generally will be applied first
to the expenses of resale and repossession and then to the satisfaction of the
indebtedness. If the net proceeds from resale do not cover the full amount of
the indebtedness, a deficiency judgment may be sought. However, the deficiency
judgment would be a personal judgment against the obligor for the shortfall,
and a defaulting obligor can be expected to have very little capital or sources
of income available following repossession. Therefore, in many cases, it may
not be useful to seek a deficiency judgment or, if one is obtained, it may be
settled at a significant discount.

                                       35
<PAGE>

   Occasionally, after resale of a vehicle and payment of all expenses and all
indebtedness, there is a surplus of funds. In that case, the UCC requires the
lender to remit the surplus to any holder of a lien with respect to the vehicle
or if no such lienholder exists, the UCC requires the lender to remit the
surplus to the former owner of the vehicle.

Consumer Protection Laws

   Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws and related regulations
impose substantial requirements upon lenders and servicers involved in consumer
finance. These laws include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act,
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z,
state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer
Credit Code and state motor vehicle retail installment sales acts, and other
similar laws. Also, state laws impose finance charge ceilings and other
restrictions on consumer transactions and require contract disclosures in
addition to those required under federal law. Those requirements impose
specific statutory liabilities upon creditors who fail to comply with their
provisions. In some cases, this liability could affect an assignee's ability to
enforce consumer finance contracts such as the receivables.

   The so-called "Holder-in-Due-Course" Rule of the Federal Trade Commission
(the "FTC Rule"), the provisions of which are generally duplicated by the
Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other state statutes, or the common laws in
certain states, has the effect of subjecting any assignee of a seller (and
certain related lenders and their assignees) in a consumer credit transaction
to all claims and defenses that the obligor in the transaction could assert
against the seller of the goods. Liability under the FTC Rule is limited to the
amounts paid by the obligor under the contract, and the holder of the contract
may also be unable to collect any balance remaining due thereunder from the
obligor. Most of the receivables will be subject to the requirements of the FTC
Rule. Accordingly, the trustee or the indenture trustee, as holder of the
receivables, will be subject to any claims or defenses that the obligor of the
related financed vehicle may assert against the seller of the vehicle. Such
claims are limited to a maximum liability equal to the amounts paid by the
obligor on the receivable.

   Under most state motor vehicle dealer licensing laws, including California
and Texas, dealers of motor vehicles are required to be licensed to sell motor
vehicles at retail sale. In addition, with respect to used vehicles, the
Federal Trade Commission's Rule on Sale of Used Vehicles requires that all
vehicle dealers prepare, complete and display a "Buyer's Guide" which explains
the warranty coverage for such vehicles. Furthermore, federal odometer
regulations promulgated under the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings
Act requires that all used vehicle dealers furnish a written statement signed
by the seller certifying the accuracy of the odometer reading. If a dealer is
not properly licensed or if either a Buyer's Guide or Odometer Disclosure
Statement was not provided to the purchaser of the related financed vehicle,
the obligor may be able to assert a defense against the dealer. If an obligor
were successful in asserting any such claim or defense, such claim or defense
would constitute a breach of BVAC's representations and warranties under each
Transfer and Servicing Agreement and would create an obligation of BVAC to
repurchase the receivable unless such breach were cured in a timely manner. See
"Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and Assignment of
Receivables."

   Courts have applied general equitable principles to secured parties pursuing
repossession or litigation involving deficiency balances. These equitable
principles may have the effect of relieving an obligor from some or all of the
legal consequences of a default.

   In several cases, consumers have asserted that the self-help remedies of
secured parties under the UCC and related laws violate the due process
protections provided under the 14th Amendment to the United States
Constitution. Courts have generally upheld the notice provisions of the UCC and
related laws as reasonable or have found that the repossession and resale by
the creditor do not involve sufficient state action to afford constitutional
protection to consumers.

                                       36
<PAGE>

   BVAC will represent and warrant in each purchase agreement that each
receivable complies with all requirements of law in all material respects.
Accordingly, if an obligor has a claim against a trust for violation of any law
and such claim materially and adversely affects the trust's or the indenture
trustee's interest in a receivable, such violation would constitute a breach of
BVAC's representations and warranties under the purchase agreement and would
create an obligation of BVAC to repurchase such receivable unless the breach
were cured. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements--Sale and
Assignment of Receivables."

Other Limitations

   In addition to the laws limiting or prohibiting deficiency judgments,
numerous other statutory provisions, including federal bankruptcy laws and
related state laws, may interfere with or affect the ability of a lender to
realize upon collateral or enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, in a
Chapter 13 proceeding under the federal bankruptcy law, a court may prevent a
lender from repossessing an automobile, and, as part of the rehabilitation
plan, reduce the amount of the secured indebtedness to the market value of the
automobile at the time of bankruptcy (as determined by the court), leaving the
party providing financing as a general unsecured creditor for the remainder of
the indebtedness. A bankruptcy court may also reduce the monthly payments due
under a contract or change the rate of interest and time of repayment of the
indebtedness.

Bankruptcy Matters

   BVAC will represent and warrant to the depositor in each purchase agreement,
and the depositor will warrant to the related trust in each trust and servicing
agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, that the sales of the receivables
by BVAC to the depositor and by the depositor to the trust are valid sales of
the receivables to the depositor and the trust, respectively. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if BVAC or the depositor were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy
case and a creditor or trustee-in-bankruptcy of such debtor or such debtor
itself were to take the position that the sale of receivables to the depositor
or the trust should instead be treated as a pledge of such receivables to
secure a borrowing of such debtor, delays in payments of collections of
receivables to securityholders could occur or (should the court rule in favor
of any such trustee, debtor or creditor) reductions in the amounts of such
payments could result. If the transfer of receivables to the trust is treated
as a pledge instead of a sale, a tax or government lien on the property of BVAC
or the depositor arising before the transfer of the related receivables to such
trust may have priority over such trust's interest in such receivables. If the
transfers of receivables from BVAC to the depositor and from the depositor to
the trust are treated as sales, the receivables would not be part of BVAC's or
the depositor's bankruptcy estate and would not be available to the bankrupt
entity's creditors.

   The decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, Octagon Gas
System, Inc. v. Rimmer (In re Meridian Reserve, Inc.) (decided May 27, 1993),
contains language to the effect that under the UCC, accounts sold by a debtor
would remain property of the debtor's bankruptcy estate, whether or not the
sale of the accounts was perfected. Although the receivables constitute chattel
paper under the UCC, rather than accounts, Article 9 of the UCC applies to the
sale of chattel paper as well as the sale of accounts, and perfection of a
security interest in both chattel paper and accounts may be accomplished by the
filing of a UCC-1 financing statement. If, following a bankruptcy of BVAC or
the depositor, a court were to follow the reasoning of the Tenth Circuit
reflected in the above case, then the receivables could be included in the
bankruptcy estate of BVAC or the depositor, as applicable, and delays in
payments of collections on or in respect of the receivables could occur. BVAC
will warrant to the depositor in each purchase agreement, and the depositor
will warrant to the trust in each trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement, that the sale of the related receivables to the depositor
or the related trust is a sale of such receivables to the depositor and to the
trust, respectively.

                        FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

   The following general summary of the anticipated material federal income tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the securities to
the extent it relates to matters of law or legal conclusions represents the
opinion of Silver, Freedman & Taff, L.L.P., counsel to the depositor, subject
to the assumptions or qualifications set forth in this prospectus. The summary
does not purport to deal with federal income tax consequences applicable to all
categories of holders, some of which may be subject to special rules. For
example, its does not discuss the tax treatment of securityholders that are
insurance companies, regulated investment companies or dealers in securities.
You are urged to consult your own tax advisors in determining the federal,
state, local, foreign and any other tax consequences to you of the purchase,
ownership and disposition of the securities.

   The following summary is based upon current provisions of the Code, the
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and judicial or ruling authority,
all of which are subject to change, which change may be retroactive. Each trust
will be provided with an opinion of federal tax counsel regarding certain
federal income tax matters discussed below. Such opinions, however, are not
binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or the courts. No ruling on
any of the issues discussed below will be sought from the IRS. For purposes of
the following summary, references to the trust, the notes, the certificates and
related terms, parties and documents shall be deemed to refer, unless otherwise
specified in this prospectus, to each trust, the notes and the certificates and
the related terms, parties and documents applicable to such trust.

   The federal income tax consequences to certificateholders will vary
depending on whether the trust is treated as a partnership under the Code and
applicable Treasury regulations or whether the trust will be treated as a
grantor trust. The prospectus supplement for each series of certificates will
specify whether the trust will be treated as a partnership or as a grantor
trust.

FASITs

   Sections 860H through 860L of the Code provide for the creation of an entity
for federal income tax purposes, referred to as a "financial asset
securitization investment trust" ("FASIT"). These provisions were effective as
of September 1, 1997, but many technical issues concerning FASITs have not yet
been addressed by Treasury regulations. To qualify as a FASIT, an entity must
meet certain requirements under Section 860L of the Code and must elect such
treatment. The applicable trust and servicing agreement or pooling and
servicing agreement and indenture, if applicable, may be amended in accordance
with the provisions thereof to provide that the depositor and trustee will
cause a FASIT election to be made for the trust if the depositor delivers to
the trustee or the indenture trustee and, if applicable, the insurer, an
opinion of counsel to the effect that, for federal income tax purposes, (1) the
deemed issuance of FASIT regular interests (occurring in connection with such
election) will not adversely affect the federal income tax treatment of the
securities, (2) following such election such trust will not be deemed to be an
association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation and (3)
such election will not cause or constitute an event in which gain or loss would
be recognized by any securityholder or the trust.

TRUSTS TREATED AS PARTNERSHIPS

Tax Characterization of the Trust as a Partnership

   A trust which is not treated as a grantor trust and which does not
affirmatively elect to be treated as a corporation will be treated as a
partnership under applicable Treasury regulations as long as there are two or
more beneficial owners and will be ignored as a separate entity where there is
a single beneficial owner of all equity classes of the related series. In the
opinion of Silver, Freedman & Taff, L.L.P., under current law, the trust will
not be an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation
for federal income tax purposes. This opinion is based on the assumption that
the terms of the trust and servicing agreement or

                                       38
<PAGE>


pooling and servicing agreement and indenture and related documents will be
complied with, including the making of no affirmative election to be treated as
a corporation, and the assumption that the nature of the income of the trust
will exempt it from the rule that certain publicly traded partnerships are
taxable as corporations.

   If a trust were taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, it
would be subject to corporate income tax on its taxable income. The trust's
taxable income would include all of its income on the related receivables, less
servicing fees and other deductible expenses, which may include its interest
expense on the notes. Any such corporate income tax could materially reduce
cash available to make distributions on the securities, and beneficial owners
of securities (the "Security Owners") could be liable for any such tax that is
unpaid by the trust.

Tax Consequences to Holders of the Notes

   Treatment of the notes as Indebtedness. The depositor will agree, and the
noteholders will agree by their purchase of notes, to treat the notes as debt
for federal income tax purposes. Silver, Freedman & Taff, L.L.P. will, except
as otherwise provided in the related prospectus supplement, advise the trust
that the notes should be classified as debt for federal income tax purposes.
The discussion below assumes this characterization of the notes is correct.

   OID. The discussion below assumes that all payments on the notes are
denominated in U.S. dollars, and that the interest formula for the notes meets
the requirements for "qualified stated interest" under Treasury regulations
(the "OID Regulations") relating to original issue discount ("OID"), and that
any OID on the notes (i.e., any excess of the principal amount of the notes
over their issue price) does not exceed a de minimis amount (i.e., 0.25% of
their principal amount multiplied by the number of full years included in their
term), all within the meaning of the OID Regulations. If these conditions are
not satisfied with respect to any given series of notes, additional tax
considerations with respect to such notes will be disclosed in the applicable
prospectus supplement.

   Interest Income on the Notes. Based on the above assumptions, except as
discussed in the following paragraph, the notes will not be considered issued
with OID. The stated interest thereon will be taxable to a noteholder as
ordinary interest income when received or accrued in accordance with such
noteholder's method of tax accounting. Under the OID Regulations, a holder of a
note issued with more than a de minimis amount of OID must include such OID in
income, on a pro rata basis, as principal payments are made on the note. A
purchaser who buys a note for more or less than its principal amount will
generally be subject, respectively, to the premium amortization or market
discount rules of the Code.

   A holder of a note that has a fixed maturity date of not more than one year
from the issue date of such short-term note may be subject to special rules. An
accrual basis holder of a short-term note (and certain cash method holders,
including regulated investment companies, as set forth in Section 1281 of the
Code) generally would be required to report interest income as interest accrues
on a straight-line basis over the term of each interest period. Other cash
basis holders of a short-term note would, in general, be required to report
interest income as interest is paid (or, if earlier, upon the taxable
disposition of the short-term note). However, a cash basis holder of a short-
term note reporting interest income as it is paid may be required to defer a
portion of any interest expense otherwise deductible on indebtedness incurred
to purchase or carry the short-term note until the taxable disposition of the
short-term note. A cash basis taxpayer may elect under Section 1281 of the Code
to accrue interest income on all nongovernment debt obligations with a term of
one year or less, in which case the taxpayer would include interest on the
short-term note in income as it accrues, but would not be subject to the
interest expense deferral rule referred to in the preceding sentence. Certain
special rules apply if a short-term note is purchased for more or less than its
principal amount.

   Sale or Other Disposition. If a noteholder sells a note, the holder will
recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount
realized on the sale and the holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. The
adjusted tax basis of a note to a particular noteholder will equal the holder's
cost for the note, increased by any market discount, acquisition discount, OID
and gain previously included by such noteholder

                                       39
<PAGE>

in income with respect to the note and decreased by the amount of bond premium,
if any, previously amortized and by the amount of principal payments previously
received by such noteholder with respect to such note. Any such gain or loss
will be capital gain or loss if the note was held as a capital asset, except
for gain representing accrued interest and accrued market discount not
previously included in income. Capital losses generally may be used only to
offset capital gains.

   Non-U.S. Holders. Interest payments made (or accrued) to a noteholder who is
a nonresident alien, foreign corporation or other holder who is a Non-U.S.
Person (as defined below under "Trusts Treated as Grantor Trusts --Tax
Consequences to Non-U.S. Certificateholders") generally will be considered
"portfolio interest" and generally will not be subject to United States federal
income tax and withholding tax, if the interest is not effectively connected
with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-
U.S. Person and the Non-U.S. Person (1) is not actually or constructively a "10
percent shareholder" of the trust or the depositor (including a holder of 10%
of the outstanding certificates) or a "controlled foreign corporation" with
respect to which the trust or the depositor is a "related person" within the
meaning of the Code and (2) provides the trustee or other person who is
otherwise required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to the notes with an
appropriate statement (on Form W-8 or a similar form), signed under penalties
of perjury, certifying that the beneficial owner of the note is a Non-U.S.
Person and providing the Non-U.S. Person's name and address. If a note is held
through a securities clearing organization or certain other financial
institutions, the organization or institution may provide the relevant signed
statement to the withholding agent. In that case, however, the signed statement
must be accompanied by a Form W-8 or substitute form provided by the Non-U.S.
Person that owns the note. If such interest is not portfolio interest, then it
will be subject to United States federal income and withholding tax at a rate
of 30 percent, unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax
treaty.

   Any capital gain realized on the sale, redemption, retirement or other
taxable disposition of a note by a Non-U.S. Person will be exempt from United
States federal income and withholding tax, provided that (1) such gain is not
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States by the Non-U.S. Person and (2) in the case of an individual Non-U.S.
Person, the individual is not present in the United States for 183 days or more
in the taxable year.

   Final regulations dealing with withholding tax on income paid to Non-U.S.
Persons and related matters were issued by the Treasury Department on October
6, 1997. These new withholding regulations will generally be effective for
payments made after December 31, 2000, subject to certain transition rules.
Current withholding certificates will remain valid until the earlier of
December 31, 2000 or the due date of expiration of the certificate under the
rules as currently in effect. The new withholding regulations would require, in
the case of notes held by a foreign partnership, that (x) the certification
described above be provided by the partners rather than by the foreign
partnership and (y) the partnership provide certain information, including a
United States taxpayer identification number. A look-through rule would apply
in the case of tiered partnerships. Prospective investors who are Non-U.S.
Persons are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to
the new withholding regulations.

   Backup Withholding. Each noteholder (other than an exempt holder such as a
corporation, tax-exempt organization, qualified pension and profit-sharing
trust, individual retirement account or nonresident alien who provides
certification as to status as a nonresident) will be required to provide, under
penalties of perjury, a certificate containing the holder's name, address,
correct federal taxpayer identification number and a statement that the holder
is not subject to backup withholding. Should a nonexempt noteholder fail to
provide the required certification, the trust will be required to withhold 31
percent of the amount otherwise payable to the holder, and remit the withheld
amount to the IRS as a credit against the holder's federal income tax
liability.

   Possible Alternative Treatments of the Notes. If, contrary to the opinion of
Silver, Freedman & Taff, L.L.P., the IRS successfully asserted that one or more
classes of notes in a series did not represent debt for federal income tax
purposes, such notes might be treated as equity interests in the trust. If so
treated, the trust might be treated as a publicly traded partnership that would
not be taxable as a corporation because it would

                                       40
<PAGE>

meet certain qualifying income tests. Nonetheless, treatment of the notes as
equity interests in such a publicly traded partnership could have adverse tax
consequences to certain holders. For example, income to certain tax-exempt
entities (including pension funds) would be "unrelated business taxable
income", income to Non-U.S. Persons generally would be subject to U.S. tax and
U.S. tax return filing and withholding tax requirements, and individual holders
might be subject to certain limitations on their ability to deduct their share
of trust expenses.

Tax Consequences to Holders of the Certificates

   Treatment of the Trust as a Partnership. The depositor and the servicer will
agree, and the related certificateholders will agree by their purchase of
certificates, to treat the trust as a partnership for purposes of federal and
state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part
by income, with the assets of the partnership being the assets held by the
trust, the partners of the partnership being the certificateholders (including
the holder of any certificates representing the retained interest in the trust)
and the notes being debt of the partnership. However, the proper
characterization of the arrangement involving the trust, the certificates, the
notes, the depositor and the servicer is not clear because there is no
authority on transactions closely comparable to that contemplated herein.

   A variety of alternative characterizations are possible. For example,
because the certificates have certain features characteristic of debt, the
certificates might be considered debt of the depositor or the trust. Any such
characterization would not result in materially adverse tax consequences to
certificateholders as compared to the consequences from treatment of the
certificates as equity in a partnership, described below. The following
discussion assumes that the certificates represent equity interests in a
partnership.

   Partnership Taxation. As a partnership, the trust will not be subject to
federal income tax. Rather, each certificateholder will be required to
separately take into account such holder's allocated share of income, gains,
losses, deductions and credits of the trust. The trust's income will consist
primarily of interest and finance charges earned on the related receivables
(including appropriate adjustments for market discount, OID and bond premium)
and any gain upon collection or disposition of such receivables. The trust's
deductions will consist primarily of interest accruing with respect to the
notes, servicing and other fees, and losses or deductions upon collection or
disposition of receivables.

   The tax items of a partnership are allocable to the partners in accordance
with the Code, Treasury regulations and the partnership agreement (i.e., the
Transfer and Servicing Agreement and related documents). The Transfer and
Servicing Agreement will provide, in general, that the certificateholders will
be allocated taxable income of the trust for each month equal to the sum of:

  (1) the interest that accrues on the certificates in accordance with their
      terms for such month, including interest accruing at the related pass-
      through rate for such month and interest, if any, on amounts previously
      due on the certificates but not yet distributed;

  (2) any trust income attributable to discount on the related receivables
      that corresponds to any excess of the principal amount of the
      certificates over their initial issue price;

  (3) any other amounts of income payable to the certificateholders for such
      month; and

  (4) in the case of an individual, estate or trust, such certificateholder's
      share of income corresponding to the miscellaneous itemized deductions
      described in the next paragraph.

   Such allocation of interest will be reduced by any amortization by the trust
of premium on receivables that corresponds to any excess of the issue price of
certificates over their principal amount. Unless otherwise provided in the
related prospectus supplement, all remaining taxable income of the trust will
be allocated to the owner of the retained interest of the trust. In the event
the trust issues certificates which are Strip Securities, the amount allocated
to such certificateholders will equal the excess of (1) the pass-through rate
applicable to the Strip Securities times the notional principal amount for the
Strip Securities for such month over (2) the portion of the amount distributed
with respect to the Strip Securities for such month that would constitute a
return of basis if the Strip Securities constituted an instrument described in
Section 860G(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code,

                                       41
<PAGE>

applying the principles of Section 1272(a)(6) of the Code and employing the
constant yield method of accrual (utilizing the appropriate prepayment
assumption); provided, that no negative accruals shall be permitted, and,
provided further, that other deductions derived by the trust equal to the
aggregate remaining capital account balances of the certificateholders will be
allocated to such Strip Securities in proportion to the respective capital
account balances immediately before the final redemption.

   The portion of expenses of the trust (including fees to the servicer, but
not interest expense) allocated to taxpayers that are individuals, estates or
trusts would be miscellaneous itemized deductions to such taxpayers. Such
deductions might be disallowed to such taxpayers in whole or in part and might
result in such taxpayers being taxed on an amount of income that exceeds the
amount of cash actually distributed to such taxpayers over the life of the
trust. Any net loss of the trust will be allocated first to the retained
interest holder to the extent of its adjusted capital account, then to the
other certificateholders in the priorities set forth in the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement to the extent of their respective adjusted capital
accounts, and thereafter to the retained interest holder.

   As noted above under "Possible Alternate Treatment of the Notes," a holder
of a partnership interest in the trust, such as the certificates, which is a
tax-exempt entity will be subject to tax on the trust's income. The trust's
income will be treated as "unrelated business taxable income," because such
income will be "unrelated debt-financed income."

   The trust intends to make all calculations relating to market discount
income and amortization of premium with respect to both simple interest
receivables and precomputed receivables on an aggregate basis rather than a
receivable-by-receivable basis. If the IRS were to require that such
calculations be made separately for each receivable, the trust might be
required to incur additional expense, but it is believed that there would not
be a material adverse effect on certificateholders.

   Discount and Premium. Except as otherwise provided in the related prospectus
supplement, it is believed that the receivables were not issued with OID, and,
therefore, the trust should not have OID income. However, the purchase price
paid by the trust for the related receivables may be greater or less than the
remaining principal balance of the receivables at the time of purchase. If so,
the receivables will have been acquired at a premium or discount, as the case
may be. (As indicated above, the trust will make this calculation on an
aggregate basis, but might be required to recompute it on a receivable-by-
receivable basis.)

   If the trust acquires the related receivables at a market discount or
premium, it will elect to include any such discount in income currently as it
accrues over the life of such receivables or to offset any such premium against
interest income on such receivables. As indicated above, a portion of such
market discount income or premium deduction may be allocated to
certificateholders.

   Section 708 Termination. Under Section 708 of the Code, the trust will be
deemed to terminate for federal income tax purposes if 50% or more of the
capital and profits interests in the trust are sold or exchanged within a 12-
month period. Under applicable Treasury regulations, such a 50% or greater
transfer would cause a deemed contribution of the assets of the trust to a new
partnership in exchange for interests in the trust. Such interests in a new
partnership would be deemed distributed to the partners of the trust in
liquidation thereof, which would not constitute a sale or exchange. The trust
will not comply with certain technical requirements that might apply when such
a constructive termination occurs. As a result, the trust may be subject to
certain tax penalties and may incur additional expenses if it is required to
comply with those requirements. Furthermore, the trust might not be able to
comply due to lack of data.

   Disposition of Certificates. Generally, capital gain or loss will be
recognized on a sale of certificates in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount realized and the seller's tax basis in the certificates
sold. With respect to noncorporate certificateholders, such capital gain or
loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on whether the certificate has
been held for (1) 12 months or less, or (2) more than 12 months, respectively.
(Long-term capital gain tax rates provide a reduction as compared with short-
term capital gains, which are taxed at ordinary income tax rates.) A
certificateholder's tax basis in a certificate will generally equal

                                       42
<PAGE>

the holder's cost increased by the holder's share of trust income (includible
in income) and decreased by any distributions received with respect to such
certificate. In addition, both the tax basis in the certificates and the amount
realized on a sale of a certificate would include the holder's share of the
liabilities of the trust. A holder acquiring certificates at different prices
may be required to maintain a single aggregate adjusted tax basis in such
certificates and, upon sale or other disposition of some of the certificates,
to allocate a portion of such aggregate tax basis to the certificates sold
(rather than maintaining a separate tax basis in each certificate for purposes
of computing gain or loss on a sale of that certificate).

   Any gain on the sale of a certificate attributable to the holder's share of
unrecognized accrued market discount on the related receivables would generally
be treated as ordinary income to the holder and would give rise to special tax
reporting requirements. The trust does not expect to have any other assets that
would give rise to such special reporting requirements. Thus, to avoid those
special reporting requirements, the trust will elect to include market discount
in income as it accrues.

   If a certificateholder is required to recognize an aggregate amount of
income (not including income attributable to disallowed itemized deductions
described above) over the life of the certificates that exceeds the aggregate
cash distributions with respect thereto, such excess will generally give rise
to a capital loss upon the retirement of the certificates.

   Allocations Between Transferors and Transferees. In general, the trust's
taxable income and losses will be determined monthly and the tax items for a
particular calendar month will be apportioned among the certificateholders in
proportion to the principal amount of certificates (or notional principal
amount, in the case of any Strip Securities) owned by them as of the close of
the last day of such month. As a result, a holder purchasing certificates may
be allocated tax items (which will affect its tax liability and tax basis)
attributable to periods before the actual transaction.

   The use of such a monthly convention may not be permitted by existing
regulations. If a monthly convention is not allowed (or only applies to
transfers of less than all of the partner's interest), taxable income or losses
of the trust might be reallocated among the certificateholders. The retained
interest holder, acting as tax matters partner for the trust, will be
authorized to revise the trust's method of allocation between transferors and
transferees to conform to a method permitted by future regulations.

   Section 754 Election. In the event that a certificateholder sells its
certificates at a profit (loss), the purchasing certificateholder will have a
higher (lower) basis in the certificates than the selling certificateholder
had. The tax basis of the trust's assets will not be adjusted to reflect that
higher (or lower) basis unless the trust were to file an election under Section
754 of the Code. In order to avoid the administrative complexities that would
be involved in keeping accurate accounting records, as well as potentially
onerous information reporting requirements, the trust will not make such
election. As a result, certificateholders might be allocated a greater or
lesser amount of trust income than would be appropriate based on their own
purchase price for certificates.

   Administrative Matters. The trustee is required to keep or have kept
complete and accurate books of the trust. Such books will be maintained for
financial reporting and tax purposes on an accrual basis, and the fiscal year
of the trust is expected to be the calendar year. The trustee will file a
partnership information return (IRS Form 1065) with the IRS for each taxable
year of the trust and will report each certificateholder's allocable share of
items of trust income and expense to holders and the IRS on Schedule K-1. The
trust will provide the Schedule K-l information to nominees that fail to
provide the trust with the information statement described below and such
nominees will be required to forward such information to the beneficial owners
of the certificates. Generally, holders must file tax returns that are
consistent with the information return filed by the trust or be subject to
penalties unless the holder notifies the IRS of all such inconsistencies.

   Under Section 6031 of the Code, any person that holds certificates as a
nominee at any time during a calendar year is required to furnish the trust
with a statement containing certain information on the nominee, the beneficial
owners and the certificates so held. Such information includes (1) the name,
address and taxpayer identification number of the nominee and (2) as to each
beneficial owner (a) the name, address and

                                       43
<PAGE>

identification number of such person, (b) whether such person is a U.S. Person
(as defined under "Trusts Treated as Grantor Trusts--Non-U.S. Persons"), a tax-
exempt entity or a foreign government, an international organization, or any
wholly owned agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, and (c)
certain information on certificates that were held, bought or sold on behalf of
such person throughout the year. In addition, brokers and financial
institutions that hold certificates through a nominee are required to furnish
directly to the trust information as to themselves and their ownership of
certificates. A clearing agency registered under Section 17A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is not required to furnish any such information statement
to the trust. The information referred to above for any calendar year must be
furnished to the trust on or before the following January 31. Nominees, brokers
and financial institutions that fail to provide the trust with the information
described above may be subject to penalties.

   The retained interest holder will be designated as the tax matters partner
for each trust in the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement and, as such,
will be responsible for representing the certificateholder in any dispute with
the IRS. The Code provides for administrative examination of a partnership as
if the partnership were a separate and distinct taxpayer. Generally, the
statute of limitations for partnership items does not expire before three years
after the date on which the partnership information return is filed. Any
adverse determination following an audit of the return of the trust by the
appropriate taxing authorities could result in an adjustment of the returns of
the certificateholders, and, under certain circumstances, a certificateholder
may be precluded from separately litigating a proposed adjustment to the items
of the trust. An adjustment could also result in an audit of a
certificateholder's returns and adjustments of items not related to the income
and losses of the trust.

   Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Certificateholders. Pursuant to a change in the
safe harbor provisions of Section 864(b)(2)(A) of the Code (applicable to tax
years beginning after December 31, 1997), certificateholders who are Non-U.S.
Persons will not be considered to be engaged in a trade or business in the
United States for purposes of federal withholding taxes with respect to Non-
U.S. Persons solely as a result of owning or trading certificates. As a result,
the trust is not obligated to withhold on the portion of its taxable income
that is allocable to Non-U.S. Persons at regular graduated rates (35% for Non-
U.S. Persons that are taxable as corporations and 39.6% for all other Non-U.S.
Persons), unless such Non-U.S. Person hold certificates in connection with the
conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

   Interest allocable to a Non-U.S. Person that does not hold certificates in
connection with the conduct of a U. S. trade or business will not qualify for
the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) of the Code, because
underlying receivables owned by the trust are not in "registered form" as that
term is defined in applicable Treasury regulations. As a result, such Non-U.S.
Person who holds certificates will be subject to United States withholding tax
on interest or OID attributable to the underlying receivables (whether or not
such amount is distributed) at a rate of 30 percent, unless reduced or
eliminated pursuant to an applicable treaty. Potential investors who are Non-
U.S. Persons should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax
consequences of owning a certificate.

   Backup Withholding. Distributions made on the certificates and proceeds from
the sale of the certificates will be subject to a "backup" withholding tax of
31% if, in general, the certificateholder fails to comply with certain
identification procedures, unless the holder is an exempt recipient under
applicable provisions of the Code.

TRUSTS TREATED AS GRANTOR TRUSTS

Tax Characterization of Grantor Trusts

   If specified in the related prospectus supplement, Silver, Freedman & Taff,
L.L.P. will deliver its opinion that the trust will not be classified as an
association taxable as a corporation and that such trust will be classified as
a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. In this
case, beneficial owners of grantor trust certificates will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as owners of a portion of the trust's assets as
described below. The certificates issued by a trust that is treated as a
grantor trust are referred to as grantor trust certificates.

                                       44
<PAGE>

   Characterization. Each grantor trust certificateholder will be treated as
the owner of a pro rata undivided interest in the interest and principal
portions of the trust represented by the grantor trust certificates and will be
considered the equitable owner of a pro rata undivided interest in each of the
receivables in the trust. Any amounts received by a grantor trust
certificateholder in lieu of amounts due with respect to any receivable because
of a default or delinquency in payment will be treated for federal income tax
purposes as having the same character as the payments they replace.

   Each grantor trust certificateholder will be required to report on its
federal income tax return in accordance with such grantor trust
certificateholder's method of accounting its pro rata share of the entire
income from the receivables in the trust represented by grantor trust
certificates, including interest, OID, if any, prepayment fees, assumption
fees, any gain recognized upon an assumption and late payment charges received
by the servicer. Under Code Sections 162 or 212, each grantor trust
certificateholder will be entitled to deduct its pro rata share of servicing
fees, prepayment fees, assumption fees and late payment charges retained by the
servicer, provided that such amounts are reasonable compensation for services
rendered to the trust. Grantor trust certificateholders that are individuals,
estates or trusts will be entitled to deduct their share of expenses only to
the extent such expenses plus all other miscellaneous itemized deductions
exceed two percent of their respective adjusted gross incomes. A grantor trust
certificateholder using the cash method of accounting must take into account
its pro rata share of income and deductions as and when collected by or paid to
the servicer. A grantor trust certificateholder using an accrual method of
accounting must take into account its pro rata share of income and deductions
as they become due or are paid to the servicer, whichever is earlier. If the
servicing fees paid to the servicer are deemed to exceed reasonable servicing
compensation, the amount of such excess could be considered as an ownership
interest retained by the servicer (or any person to whom the servicer assigned
for value all or a portion of the servicing fees) in a portion of the interest
payments on the receivables. The receivables would then be subject to the
"coupon stripping" rules of the Code discussed below.

   Stripped Bonds and Stripped Coupons. Although the tax treatment of stripped
bonds is not entirely clear, based on recent guidance by the IRS, it appears
that each purchaser of a grantor trust certificate will be treated as the
purchaser of a stripped bond which generally should be treated as a single debt
instrument issued on the day it is purchased for purposes of calculating any
OID. Generally, under Treasury regulations issued under Section 1286 of the
Code, if the discount on a stripped bond is larger than a de minimis amount (as
calculated for purposes of the OID rules of the Code) such stripped bond will
be considered to have been issued with OID. For these purposes, OID is the
excess of the "stated redemption price at maturity" (generally, principal and
any interest which is not "qualified stated interest") of a debt instrument
over its issue price. See "--Original Issue Discount" below. Based on the
preamble to the Section 1286 Treasury Regulations, although the matter is not
entirely clear, the interest income on the certificates at the sum of the pass-
through rate and the portion of the servicing fee rate that does not constitute
excess servicing will be treated as "qualified stated interest" within the
meaning of the Section 1286 Treasury Regulations and such income will be so
treated in the trustee's tax information reporting. It is possible that the
treatment described in this paragraph will apply only to that portion of the
receivables in a particular trust as to which there is "excess servicing" and
that the remainder of such receivables will not be treated as stripped bonds,
but as undivided interests as described above. Unless indicated otherwise in
the applicable prospectus supplement, it is not anticipated that grantor trust
certificates will be issued with greater than de minimis OID.

   Original Issue Discount. The rules of the Code relating to OID (currently
Sections 1271 through 1273 and 1275) will be applicable to a grantor trust
certificateholder that acquires an undivided interest in a stripped bond issued
or acquired with OID, and such person must include in gross income the sum of
the "daily portions," as defined below, of the OID on such stripped bond for
each day on which it owns a certificate, including the date of purchase but
excluding the date of disposition. Because payments on such stripped bonds may
be accelerated by prepayments on the underlying obligations, OID will be
determined as required under Code Section 1272(a)(6). Pursuant to Code Section
1272(a)(6), OID accruals will be calculated based on a constant interest method
and a prepayment assumption indicated in such prospectus supplement. In the
case of an original grantor trust certificateholder, the daily portions of OID
generally would be determined as follows. A calculation will be made

                                       45
<PAGE>

of the portion of OID that accrues on the stripped bond during each successive
monthly accrual period (or shorter period in respect of the date of original
issue or the final payment date). This will be done, in the case of each full
monthly accrual period, by adding (1) the present value of all remaining
payments to be received on the stripped bond under the prepayment assumption
used in respect of the grantor trust certificates and (2) any payments (other
than qualified stated interest) received during such accrual period, and
subtracting from the total the "adjusted issue price" of the stripped bond at
the beginning of such accrual period. No representation is made that the
grantor trust certificates will prepay at any prepayment assumption. The
"adjusted issue price" of a stripped bond at the beginning of the first accrual
period is its issue price (as determined for purposes of the OID rules of the
Code) and the "adjusted issue price" of a stripped bond at the beginning of a
subsequent accrual period is the "adjusted issue price" at the beginning of the
immediately preceding accrual period plus the amount of OID allocable to that
accrual period and reduced by the amount of any payment (other than qualified
stated interest) made at the end of or during that accrual period. The OID
accruing during such accrual period will then be divided by the number of days
in the period to determine the daily portion of OID for each day in the period.
A subsequent grantor trust certificateholder will be required to adjust its OID
accrual to reflect its purchase price, the remaining period to maturity and,
possibly, a new prepayment assumption. The servicer will report to all grantor
trust certificateholders as if they were original holders.

   With respect to the receivables, the method of calculating OID as described
above will cause the accrual of OID to either increase or decrease (but never
below zero) in any given accrual period to reflect the fact that prepayments
are occurring at a faster or slower rate than the prepayment assumption used in
respect of the receivables. Subsequent purchasers that purchase grantor trust
certificates at more than a de minimis discount should consult their tax
advisors with respect to the proper method to accrue such OID.

   Market Discount. A grantor trust certificateholder that acquires an
undivided interest in receivables may be subject to the market discount rules
of Sections 1276 through 1278 to the extent an undivided interest in a
receivable or stripped bond is considered to have been purchased at a "market
discount." Generally, the amount of market discount is equal to the excess of
the portion of the principal amount of such receivable or stripped bond
allocable to such holder's undivided interest over such holder's tax basis in
such interest. Market discount with respect to a grantor trust certificate will
be considered to be zero if the amount allocable to the grantor trust
certificate is less than 0.25% of the grantor trust certificate's stated
redemption price at maturity multiplied by the weighted average maturity
remaining after the date of purchase. Treasury regulations implementing the
market discount rules have not yet been issued; therefore, investors should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules and the
advisability of making any of the elections allowed under Code Section 1276 and
1278. The IRS may require you to compute market discount on a receivable by
receivable basis, based on the allocation of your purchase price among the
receivables based on their fair market values. However, we will not furnish
information to you on a receivable by receivable basis. Accordingly, if you
compute premium amortization on an aggregate basis, you may be required by the
IRS to recompute such premium on a receivable by receivable basis.

   The Code provides that any principal payment (whether a scheduled payment or
a prepayment) or any gain or disposition of a market discount bond shall be
treated as ordinary income to the extent that it does not exceed the accrued
market discount at the time of such payment. The amount of accrued market
discount for purposes of determining the tax treatment of subsequent principal
payments or dispositions of the market discount bond is to be reduced by the
amount so treated as ordinary income.

   The Code also grants the Treasury Department authority to issue regulations
providing for the computation of accrued market discount on debt instruments,
the principal of which is payable in more than one installment. While the
Treasury Department has not yet issued regulations, rules described in the
relevant legislative history will apply. Under those rules, the holder of a
market discount bond may elect to accrue market discount either on the basis of
a constant interest rate or according to one of the following methods. If a
grantor trust certificate is issued with OID, the amount of market discount
that accrues during any accrual period would be equal to the product of (1) the
total remaining market discount and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the OID accruing during the period and the denominator of which is the total
remaining OID at the beginning of the

                                       46
<PAGE>

accrual period. For grantor trust certificates issued without OID, the amount
of market discount that accrues during a period is equal to the product of (1)
the total remaining market discount and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the amount of stated interest paid during the accrual period and the
denominator of which is the total amount of stated interest remaining to be
paid at the beginning of the accrual period. For purposes of calculating market
discount under any of the above methods in the case of instruments (such as the
grantor trust certificates) that provide for payments that may be accelerated
by reason of prepayments of other obligations securing such instruments, the
same prepayment assumption applicable to calculating the accrual of OID will
apply. Because the regulations described above have not been issued, it is
impossible to predict what effect those regulations might have on the tax
treatment of a grantor trust certificate purchased at a discount or premium in
the secondary market.

   A holder who acquired a grantor trust certificate at a market discount also
may be required to defer a portion of its interest deductions for the taxable
year attributable to any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or
carry such grantor trust certificate purchased with market discount. For these
purposes, the de minimis rule referred to above applies. Any such deferred
interest expense would not exceed the market discount that accrues during such
taxable year and is, in general, allowed as a deduction not later than the year
in which such market discount is includible in income. If such holder elects to
include market discount in income currently as it accrues on all market
discount instruments acquired by such holder in that taxable year or
thereafter, the interest deferral rule described above will not apply.

   Premium. The price paid for a grantor trust certificate by a holder will be
allocated to such holder's undivided interest in each receivable based on each
receivable's relative fair market value, so that such holder's undivided
interest in each receivable will have its own tax basis. A grantor trust
certificateholder that acquires an interest in receivables at a premium may
elect to amortize such premium under a constant interest method. Amortizable
bond premium will be treated as an offset to interest income on such grantor
trust certificate. The basis for such grantor trust certificate will be reduced
to the extent that amortizable premium is applied to offset interest payments.
We cannot tell you whether a reasonable prepayment assumption should be used in
computing amortization of premium allowable under Section 171 of the Code. A
grantor trust certificateholder that makes this election for a grantor trust
certificate that is acquired at a premium will be deemed to have made an
election to amortize bond premium with respect to all debt instruments having
amortizable bond premium that such grantor trust certificateholder acquires
during the year of the election or thereafter. We will not furnish information
to you on a receivable by receivable basis. Accordingly, if you compute premium
amortization on an aggregate basis, the IRS may require you to recompute such
premium.

   If a premium is not subject to amortization using a reasonable prepayment
assumption, the holder of a grantor trust certificate acquired at a premium
should recognize a loss if a receivable prepays in full, equal to the
difference between the portion of the prepaid principal amount of such
receivable that is allocable to the grantor trust certificate and the portion
of the adjusted basis of the grantor trust certificate that is allocable to
such receivable. If a reasonable prepayment assumption is used to amortize such
premium, it appears that such a loss would be available, if at all, only if
prepayments have occurred at a rate faster than the reasonable assumed
prepayment rate. It is not clear whether any other adjustments would be
required to reflect differences between an assumed prepayment rate and the
actual rate of prepayments.

   Election to Treat All Interest as OID. The OID regulations permit a grantor
trust certificateholder to elect to accrue all interest, discount (including de
minimis market discount or OID) and premium in income as interest, based on a
constant yield method. If such an election were to be made with respect to a
grantor trust certificate with market discount, the certificateholder would be
deemed to have made an election to include in income currently market discount
with respect to all other debt instruments having market discount that such
grantor trust certificateholder acquires during the year of the election or
thereafter. Similarly, a grantor trust certificateholder that makes this
election for a grantor trust certificate that is acquired at a premium will be
deemed to have made an election to amortize bond premium with respect to all
debt instruments having

                                       47
<PAGE>

amortizable bond premium that such grantor trust certificateholder owns or
acquires. See "--Premium" above. The election to accrue interest, discount and
premium on a constant yield method with respect to a grantor trust certificate
is irrevocable.

   Sale or Exchange of a Grantor Trust Certificate. Sale or exchange of a
grantor trust certificate prior to its maturity will result in gain or loss
equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received and the owner's
adjusted basis in the grantor trust certificate. Such adjusted basis generally
will equal the seller's purchase price for the grantor trust certificate,
increased by the OID and any market discount included in the seller's gross
income with respect to the grantor trust certificate, and reduced by any market
premium amortized by the seller and by principal payments on the grantor trust
certificate previously received by the seller. Such gain or loss will be
capital gain or loss to an owner for which a grantor trust certificate is a
"capital asset" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (except in the
case of gain attributable to accrued market discount, as noted above under "--
Market Discount") and, with respect to noncorporate owners, will be short-term
or long-term, depending on whether the grantor trust certificate has been held
for 12 months or less, or more than 12 months, respectively. (Long-term capital
gain tax rates provide a reduction as compared with short-term capital gains,
which are taxed at ordinary income tax rates.)

   Grantor trust certificates will be "evidences of indebtedness" within the
meaning of Section 582(c)(1) of the Code, so that gain or loss recognized from
the sale of a grantor trust certificate by a bank or a thrift institution to
which such section applies will be treated as ordinary income or loss.

   Non-U.S. Persons. Interest or OID paid to Non-U.S. Persons who own grantor
trust certificates will be treated as "portfolio interest" for purposes of
United States withholding tax. Such interest (including OID, if any)
attributable to the underlying receivables will not be subject to the normal
30% (or such lower rate provided for by an applicable tax treaty) withholding
tax imposed on such amounts provided that (1) the Non-U.S. Person is not a "10%
shareholder" (within the definition of Section 871(h)(3)) of any obligor on the
receivables; and is not a controlled foreign corporation (within the definition
of Section 957) related to any obligor on the receivables and (2) such
certificateholder fulfills certain certification requirements. Under these
requirements, the certificateholder must certify, under penalty of perjury,
that it is not a "U.S. Person" and must provide its name and address. For this
purpose "U.S. Person" means a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, a corporation or partnership (except to the extent
provided in applicable Treasury regulations) created or organized in or under
the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia, including
an entity treated as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income
taxation regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United
States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such
trust, and one or more such U.S. Persons have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable
Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996, which are
eligible to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons). A "Non-U.S. Person" is a
person who is not a U.S. Person as defined above. If, however, such interest or
gain is effectively connected to the conduct of a trade or business within the
U.S. by such certificateholder, such owner will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax thereon at graduated rates. Potential investors who are not U.S.
Persons should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax
consequences of owning a certificate.

   Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. The servicer will furnish or
make available, within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year,
to each person who was a grantor trust certificateholder at any time during
such year, such information as the servicer deems necessary or desirable to
assist grantor trust certificateholders in preparing their federal income tax
returns, or to enable holders to make such information available to beneficial
owners or financial intermediaries that hold grantor trust certificates as
nominees on behalf of beneficial owners. If a holder, beneficial owner,
financial intermediary or other recipient of a payment on behalf of a
beneficial owner fails to supply a certified taxpayer identification number or
if the Secretary of the Treasury determines that such person has not reported
all interest and dividend income required to be

distribution to a recipient would be allowed as a credit against such
recipient's federal income tax liability.

   The federal tax discussion set forth above is included for general
information only and may not be applicable to your particular tax situation.
You should consult your own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of
the purchase, ownership and disposition of securities, including the tax
consequences under state, local and foreign and other tax laws and the possible
effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

   Section 406 of ERISA, and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a pension,
profit sharing or other employee benefit plan, as well as individual retirement
accounts and certain types of Keogh Plans (each, a "Benefit Plan"), from
engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with persons that are
"parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with
respect to the Benefit Plan. ERISA also imposes certain duties on persons who
are fiduciaries of Benefit Plans subject to ERISA and prohibits certain
transactions between a Benefit Plan and parties in interest with respect to
such Benefit Plans. Under ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or
control with respect to the management or disposition of the assets of a
Benefit Plan is considered to be a fiduciary of such Benefit Plan (subject to
certain exceptions not here relevant). A violation of these "prohibited
transaction" rules may generate excise tax and other liabilities under ERISA
and the Code for such persons.

   Certain transactions involving a trust might be deemed to constitute
prohibited transactions under ERISA and the Code with respect to a Benefit Plan
that purchased notes or certificates if assets of the trust were deemed to be
assets of the Benefit Plan. Under a regulation issued by the United States
Department of Labor (the "Plan Assets Regulations"), the assets of a trust
would be treated as plan assets of a Benefit Plan for the purposes of ERISA and
the Code if the Benefit Plan acquired an "equity interest" in the trust and
none of the exceptions contained in the Plan Assets Regulation were applicable.
An equity interest is defined under the Plan Assets Regulation as an interest
other than an instrument that is treated as indebtedness under applicable local
law and which has no substantial equity features. To the extent that the notes
are treated as indebtedness under applicable local law and do not have
substantial equity features, their acquisition would not be considered the
acquisition of an "equity interest" in the related trust and so the assets
underlying the trust would not be considered plan assets for Code and ERISA
purposes. In addition, although they may represent equity interests in the
related trust, nonsubordinated certificates ("Senior Certificates") may be
exempted from certain of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA as discussed
below. The likely treatment in this context of notes or certificates of a given
series will be discussed in the related prospectus supplement.

   Employee Benefit Plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section
3(32) of ERISA) and certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA)
are not subject to ERISA requirements.

   A Benefit Plan fiduciary considering the purchase of notes or certificates
of a given series should consult its tax and/or legal advisors regarding
whether the assets of the related trust would be considered plan assets, the
possibility of exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules and other
issues and their potential consequences under the Code or ERISA.

   The U.S. Department of Labor may have granted to the underwriter (or in the
case of series offered by more than one underwriter, the lead underwriter)
named in each prospectus supplement an exemption (the "Exemption") from certain
of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA with respect to the initial
purchase, the holding and the subsequent resale by Benefit Plans of
certificates representing interests in asset-backed pass-through trusts that
consist of certain receivables, loans and other obligations that meet the
conditions and requirements of the Exemption. The receivables covered by the
Exemption include motor vehicle installment sales contracts such as the
receivables. The Exemption will apply to the acquisition, holding and resale of
Senior Certificates by a Benefit Plan, provided that certain conditions
(certain of which are described below) are met.


                                       49
<PAGE>

   Among the conditions that must be satisfied for the Exemption to apply to
the Senior Certificates are the following:

  (1) The trust is considered to consist solely of obligations which bear
      interest or are purchased at a discount and which are secured by motor
      vehicles or equipment, or "qualified motor vehicle leases" (as defined
      in the Exemption), property that had secured such obligations or
      qualified motor vehicle leases, cash or temporary investments maturing
      no later than the next date on which payments are to be made to the
      Senior Certificate owners, and rights of the indenture trustee under
      the indenture or the rights of the owner trustee or trustee under the
      Transfer and Servicing Agreements and under credit support arrangements
      with respect to such obligations or qualified motor vehicle leases.

  (2) The acquisition of the Senior Certificates by a Benefit Plan is on
      terms (including the price for the Senior Certificates) that are at
      least as favorable to the Benefit Plan as they would be in an arm's
      length transaction with an unrelated party;

  (3) The rights and interests evidenced by the Senior Certificates acquired
      by the Benefit Plan are not subordinated to the rights and interests
      evidenced by other certificates of the trust;

  (4) The Senior Certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan have received a
      rating at the time of such acquisition that is in one of the three
      highest generic rating categories from either Standard & Poor's Ratings
      Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Duff & Phelps Credit Rating
      Co. or Fitch IBCA, Inc;

  (5) The related owner trustee or indenture trustee is not an affiliate of
      any other member of the Restricted Group (as defined below);

  (6) The sum of all payments made to the underwriters in connection with the
      distribution of the Senior Certificates represents not more than
      reasonable compensation for underwriting the Senior Certificates; the
      sum of all payments made to and retained by the depositor pursuant to
      the sale of the receivables to the related trust represents not more
      than the fair market value of such receivables; and the sum of all
      payments made to and retained by the servicer represents not more than
      reasonable compensation for the servicer's services under the related
      Transfer and Servicing Agreements and indenture, if applicable, and
      reimbursement of the servicer's reasonable expenses in connection
      therewith; and

  (7) The Benefit Plan investing in the Senior Certificates is an "accredited
      investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the
      Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act
      of 1933, as amended.

   Moreover, the Exemption would provide relief from certain self-
dealing/conflict of interest or prohibited transactions only if, among other
requirements, (1) in the case of the acquisition of Senior Certificates in
connection with the initial issuance, at least fifty percent of the Senior
Certificates are acquired by persons independent of the Restricted Group (as
defined below), (2) the Benefit Plan's investment in Senior Certificates does
not exceed twenty-five percent of all of the Senior Certificates outstanding at
the time of the acquisition and (3) immediately after the acquisition, no more
than twenty-five percent of the assets of the Benefit Plan are invested in
certificates representing an interest in one or more trusts containing assets
sold or serviced by the same entity. The Exemption does not apply to Benefit
Plans sponsored by the depositor, any underwriter, the related trustee, the
servicer, any obligor with respect to receivables included in the related trust
constituting more than five percent of the aggregate unamortized principal
balance of the assets in the trust, or any affiliate of such parties (the
"Restricted Group").

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

   On the terms and conditions set forth in any underwriting agreement with
respect to a given series, the depositor will agree to cause the related trust
to sell to the underwriters named therein and in the related prospectus
supplement, and each of such underwriters will severally agree to purchase, the
principal amount of each class of securities of the related series set forth
therein and in the related prospectus supplement. The depositor may also cause
the related trust to sell a series of securities directly to investors.

   In each underwriting agreement, the several underwriters will agree, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the
securities described therein that are offered hereby and by the related
prospectus supplement if any of such securities are purchased.

   Each prospectus supplement will either (1) set forth the price at which each
class of securities being offered thereby will be offered to investors and any
concessions that may be offered to certain securities dealers participating in
the offering of such securities or (2) specify that the related securities are
to be resold by the underwriters in negotiated transactions at varying prices
to be determined at the time of such sale. After the initial public offering of
any such securities, such public offering prices and such concessions may be
changed.

   Each underwriting agreement will provide that BVAC and the depositor will
indemnify the related underwriters against certain civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or contribute to
payments the several underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

   Each trust may, from time to time, invest the funds in the related accounts
in eligible investments acquired from any such underwriters.

   The closing of the sale of any class of securities will be conditioned on
the closing of the sale of all other classes of securities of such series.

   The place and time of delivery for the securities in respect of which this
prospectus is delivered will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

   Certain legal matters relating to the securities of any series will be
passed upon for the related trust, the depositor and the servicer by Silver,
Freedman & Taff, L.L.P., Washington, D.C., and for the underwriters by such
firm as shall be identified in the related prospectus supplement. Certain
federal income tax and other matters will be passed upon for each trust by
Silver, Freedman & Taff, L.L.P.

                      WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

   The depositor, as originator of each trust, filed a registration statement
relating to the securities with the SEC. This prospectus is part of the
registration statement, but the registration statement includes additional
information about the securities.

   The servicer will file with the SEC all required periodic and special SEC
reports and other information about any trust.

   You may read and copy any reports, statements or other information we file
at the SEC's public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20549. You can request copies of these documents, upon payment of a duplicating
fee, by writing to the SEC. Please call the SEC at (800) SEC-0330 for further
information on the operation of the public reference rooms. Our SEC filings are
also available to the public on the SEC Internet site (http://www.sec.gov.).

   The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" information that the
depositor files with it, which means that the depositor can disclose important
information to you by referring you to those documents. The information
incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus.
Information that the depositor files later with the SEC which we have
incorporated by reference will automatically update the information in this
prospectus. In all cases, you should rely on the later information over
different information included in this prospectus or the related prospectus
supplement. We incorporate by reference any future annual, monthly and special
SEC reports and proxy materials filed by or on behalf of any trust until we
terminate offering the securities.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

   Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and
directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened,
pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an
officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such claim, suit or
proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in
a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation
may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify such officer or director against the expenses that
such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

   The Certificate of Incorporation of Bay View Securitization Corporation
provides for indemnification of officers and directors to the full extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Item 17. Undertakings.

   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

     (a) To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any
  material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
  previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
  to such information in the registration statement.

     (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
  to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
  therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
  to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.

     (d) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
  of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
  incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
  be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
  initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (e) To provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the
  underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered
  in such names as required by the underwriter to provide prompt delivery to
  each purchaser.

     (f) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
  controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
  or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
  Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
  policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
  event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
  the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
  officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
  of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
  controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
  Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
  settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
  jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
  public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
  adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-2
<PAGE>

     (g) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
  the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
  registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
  of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
  497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
  registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

     (h) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
  be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
  offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
  deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (i) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application
  for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under
  subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in
  accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission
  under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

   Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant

requirements for filing on Form S-3, and reasonably believes that the security

     Re:  Bay View Auto Trusts (Registration No. 333-30048)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     You have requested our opinion in connection with the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 ("Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), regarding the issuance by Bay View Securitization
Corporation ("BVSC"), as originator of asset backed securities by Bay View Auto
Trusts (the "Trusts"), consisting of Automobile Receivable Pass-Through
certificates and/or notes to be issued by the Trusts (the "Securities").  We
have examined such corporate records, certificates, and other documents, and
have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary or
appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

     On the basis of such examination and review, in our opinion, with respect
to automobile receivable backed certificates (the "Certificates") issued under a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit
4.1(a) to the Registration Statement (each, a "Pooling and Servicing Agreement")
among BVSC, as depositor, BVAC, as servicer, and the trustee of a Trust (the
"Trustee"), when (i) the Registration Statement shall have become effective
under the Act; (ii) the applicable Prospectus Supplement has been prepared,
completed, filed and delivered in accordance with the Act; (iii) pricing and
similar terms have been appropriately completed and the applicable Pooling and
Servicing Agreement has been duly executed and delivered; and (iv) the
Certificates shall have been executed, authenticated, issued, and delivered
against payment therefor by the appropriate Trustee under the applicable Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the
applicable form of Underwriting Agreement between BVSC, BVAC and the applicable
underwriter or underwriters, relating to the Certificates, the Certificates will
be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be entitled to the
benefits afforded by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which they are
issued.

     Furthermore, on the basis of our examination and review, in our opinion,
with respect to automobile receivable backed notes (the "Notes") issued under an
Indenture in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit 4.3 to the Registration
Statement (each, an "Indenture") among a Trust, as issuer, and the indenture
trustee of the Trust (the "Indenture Trustee") when (i) the Registration
Statement shall have become effective under the Act; (ii) the applicable
Prospectus Supplement has been prepared, completed, filed and delivered in
accordance with the Act; (iii) pricing and similar terms have been appropriately
completed and the applicable Indenture have been duly executed and delivered;
and (iv) the Notes shall have been executed, authenticated, issued, and
delivered against payment therefor by the appropriate Indenture Trustee under
the applicable Indenture and sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the
applicable form of Underwriting Agreement between BVSC, BVAC and the applicable
underwriter or underwriters, relating to the Notes, the Notes will constitute
binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable against the Trust in accordance
with their respective terms, except that the enforceability thereof may be
subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium,
fraudulent or preferential conveyance or other similar laws now or hereinafter
in effect relating to creditors' rights generally, and (b) general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law, and to the discretion of any court before which such
proceedings therefor may be brought.

     The foregoing is limited to the application of the internal laws of the
State of New York and applicable federal law, and no opinion is expressed herein
as to any matter governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the heading "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement.  In
giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

                              Very truly yours,

     Re:  Bay View Auto Trusts: Automobile Receivable Backed
          Certificates and Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special tax counsel to Bay View Securitization Corporation
("BVSC") in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement (as defined
below) providing for the issuance of Automobile Receivable Backed Certificates
(the "Certificates") and Notes (the "Notes") by the Bay View Auto Trusts.  In
such capacity, we hereby confirm to you our opinion with respect to such of the
federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of
the Certificates and Notes as are set forth under the heading "Federal Income
Tax Consequences" in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as
amended (Registration No. 333-30048), filed by BVSC with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in connection with the
offering of the Certificates and the Notes. Such descriptions, however, do not
purport to discuss all possible federal income tax ramifications of the proposed
issuance of the Certificates and the Notes. In this regard, no opinion is
expressed as to the tax treatment of the issuance, purchase, ownership and
disposition of the Certificates and the Notes under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, or about the
tax treatment of any conditions existing at the time of or effects resulting
from the issuance, purchase, ownership and disposition of the Certificates and
the Notes that are not specifically covered in our opinion as set forth in the
Registration Statement.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 8 to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the heading "Federal
Income Tax Consequences" in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration
Statement. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission
by us that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder.
