To correct this error, we are reducing the amount to be redeemed on
September 15, 1999 by a like amount.

2. In addition, since the Class A Notes bear interest at 6.688%,
which is above current market rates, we will be paying interest
to the record holders for the August 15, 1999 payment on the
$3,977,000 excess redemption for the month from August 15, 1999
to September 15, 1999. The payment will be made on October 4,
1999 and will be at a rate of 1.4193%, which is the difference
between the Class A fixed interest rate and one month LIBOR on
August 16, 1999 (5.26875%). The total payment to holders will be
$4,702.80 or $0.013323 per thousand dollars original face amount.
