Group II Pass
Through Rate:		 The Group II Pass Through Rate will equal the lesser of
			 i) One Month LIBOR plus  TBD%  and ii) the Net Funds Cap
			 as described herein.

Net Funds Cap:		 The difference between the a) collateral WAC and b) the
			 the sum of i) 0.50% (spread cushion) and ii) if the Company is no longer 
			 the Servicer, 1.25%.
Net Funds Cap
Carryover:		 If on any Payment Date the Group II Certificate interest distribution
			 amount is less than the Group II Pass-Through Rate (which is subject to a 
			 maximum equal to the Weighted Average Life Cap of the collateral), the amount 
			 of such shortfall and the aggregate of such shortfalls from previous payment dates
			 together with accrued interest at the Pass-Through Rate will be 
			 carried forward to the next Payment Date until paid. No interest
			 carryforward will be paid once the Class II B-3 Certificate principal
			 balance has been reduced to zero. 

Credit Enhancement:	 Subordination:  Expected subordination levels are as
			 follows:  (subject to change)

			 Class II A-1:	Aaa	 24.5% 
			 Class II B-1:	Aa3	 12.25% 
			 Class II B-2:	Baa2	  7.0% 

Corporate Guarantee:	 The Class II B-3 Certificateholders will have the benefit
			 of a limited guarantee of Clayton Homes, Inc.("CHI") to 
			 protect against losses that would otherwise be absorbed
			 by the Class II B-3 Certificateholders.

Overcollateralization:   The Certificates will be issued with no initial Overcollateralization Amount.  
			 Excess Servicing and the Servicing Fee (while Vanderbilt is the Servicer) 
			 will be directed to build the Overcollateralization Amount to 4.25% 
			 (approx. $_________) of the Cut-off Date Group II Principal Balance. 
			 On or after February 7, 2002 and as long as the Class II B Distribution 
			 Tests are met, the Required Overcollateralization Amount steps down to 8.50% 
			 of the current Group II Scheduled Principal Balance subject to a floor of 0.75% 
			 (approx. $_________) of the Group II Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance. 

Servicing Fee:		 For as long as Vanderbilt is the Servicer, the 1.25% Servicing Fee will be 
			 subordinated to the Offered Certificates on a monthly basis.

Excess Interest:	 The excess interest on the Contracts represents the first loss 
			 piece and is subordinated to the Offered Certificates on a monthly basis.

			 1)  Remittance Date is on or after  Feb 2002 
			 2)  Class II B Percentage + O/C is at least  50%  
			     (which is  2.00  times the original Class I B
			     Percentage + O/C + 1.0%)
			 3)  Cumulative Realized Losses do not exceed  7%  for
			     year  2001 ,  8%  for year  2002 , and  9%  for year  2003 
			     and beyond of the Original Principal Balance of
			     the Contracts
			 4)  Current Realized Loss Ratio does not exceed  2.75% 
			 5)  Average 60 Day Delinquency Ratio does not exceed  5% 
			 6)  Average 30 Day Delinquency Ratio does not exceed  7% 
			 7)  Sum of Class I B-2 Principal Balance + O/C must not be less than  $           
			     (which represents approximately  2%  of the Total Original Contract Pool
			     Principal Balance).
			
Cleanup Call:		 The Servicer may call the Certificates at par plus 
			 accrued interest after the remaining pool balance of the 
			 Certificates is less than 10% of its original balance.

Payment Date:		 The 7th day of each month or, if such day is not a 
			 business day, the next succeeding business day, 
			 beginning in February, 1997.

Interest Accrual:	 Interest will accrue from the 1st day of the preceding
			 month until the 30th day of the preceding month for 
			 the Class I A-2, I A-3, I A-4, I A-5, I A-6, I B-1 and I B-2 certificates.
			 For the Class I A-1 certificates and the Group II Certificates,
			 interest will accrue from the 7th day of the preceeding month until the 
			 6th day of the current month. For the first payment date, interest
			 will accrue from the closing date to the first Payment
			 Date for the class I A-1 certificates and the Group II Certificates..

			 are not ERISA eligible.  However, investors should
			 consult with their counsel with respect to the
			 consequences under ERISA and the Code of the Plan's
			 acquisition and ownership of such Certificates.

SMMEA Considerations:    The Class I A-1,I A-2, I A-3, I A-4, I A-5, and 
			 I A-6 as well as the Class II A-1 and II B-1 Certificates will constitute 
		         "mortgage related securities" under the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act 
			 of 1984 "SMMEA". The Classes I B-1 and I B-2 and Class II B-2 and II B-3 Certificates are 
			 not SMMEA eligible.

                          (approx. $_________) of the Group II Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance.

Servicing Fee:            For as long as Vanderbilt is the Servicer, the 1.25% Servicing Fee will be 
                          subordinated to the Offered Certificates on a monthly basis.

Excess Interest:          The excess interest on the Contracts represents the first loss

Cleanup Call              The Servicer may call the Certificates at par plus 
                          accrued interest after the remaining pool balance of the 
                          Certificates is less than 10% of its original balance.

Payment Date:             The 7th day of each month or, if such day is not a 
                          business day, the next succeeding business day, 
                          beginning in February, 1997.

Interest Accrual:         Interest will accrue from the 1st day of the preceding
                          month until the 30th day of the preceding month for 
                          the Class I A-2, I A-3, I A-4, I A-5, I A-6, I B-1 and I B-2 certificates.
                          For the Class I A-1 certificates and the Group II Certificates,
                          interest will accrue from the 7th day of the preceding month until the 
                          6th day of the current month. For the first payment date, interest
                          will accrue from the closing date to the first Payment
                          Date for the class I A-1 certificates and the Group II Certificates..
                          For the Class I A-1 certificates, and the Group II Certificates, interest
                          is calculated using an actual/360 day count. For the remainder of the certificate 
			  classes, interest is calculated using a 30/360 day count.

ERISA Considerations:     The Class I A-1, I A-2, I A-3, I A-4, and I A-5 Certificates
                          and the Class II A-1 will be ERISA eligible.  The Class I A-6
                          I B-1 and I B-2 Certificates and the Class II B-1, II B-2, and II B-3
                          are not ERISA eligible.  However, investors should
                          consult with their counsel with respect to the
                          consequences under ERISA and the Code of the Plan's
                          acquisition and ownership of such Certificates.

SMMEA Considerations:     The Class I A-1,I A-2, I A-3, I A-4, I A-5, and
                          I A-6 as well as the Class II A-1 and II B-1 Certificates will constitute
                          "mortgage related securities" under the Secondary Mortgage Market
                          Enhancement Act of 1984 "SMMEA". The Classes I B-1 and I B-2 and Class II B-2 and II B-3
                          Certificates are not SMMEA eligible.
