has complied in all material respects, except for the matters disclosed in
Exhibit I, with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage

Gary B. Klinger

EXHIBIT I
Matter #1:
The Company is required to maintain a loan servicing file for each of the loans
it services. During an inventory of files in prior years, the Company noted
several missing files. The situation reported in the prior year still exists.
Management Corrective Action
The Company maintains collateral documentation files with the document
custodians. For the existing portfolio, internal loan servicing files will be
recreated as necessary. During 1998, the Company implemented imaging technology
which will substantially reduce loss of internal documents in the future.
Matter #2:
The Company is required to analyze escrow balances for all loans on an annual
basis. Testing in prior years revealed a group of loans on which an escrow
analysis had not been performed in the preceding 12 months. The situation
reported in the prior year still exists.
Management Corrective Action
Management controls this process through a weekly review of loans requiring
escrow analysis and feels the procedures provide proper control. In some cases,
loans may be excluded from analysis for a period of time. For example, analysis
is not conducted on loans 30 or more days delinquent. Once cured, RESPA permits
60 additional days for completion of analysis. In addition, a "stop" can be
placed on a loan pending resolution or a customer research inquiry.
