Class M Certificates. The termination date of the
offering of the Class M Certificates is the earlier to

Class M Certificates have been sold. Proceeds of the
offering of the Class M Certificates will not be placed

Underwriter intends to offer the Class M Certificates
from time to time to the public in negotiated
transactions or otherwise at varying prices to be
determined at the time of sale. The proceeds to the

Company in the form of discounts or commissions or, in
the case of such dealers, compensation from the
Underwriter in the form of discounts, concessions or

Underwritten Certificates positioned by them may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under
the Securities Act of 1933.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company
will indemnify the Underwriter against certain civil
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or
contribute to payments required to be made in respect
thereof. There is currently no secondary market for the
Class M Certificates. Neither the Company, the
Underwriter nor any other person intends to make a
secondary market in the Class M Certificates. There can
be no assurance that any such secondary market will
develop, or if it does develop, that it will continue.

IN THE CLASS M CERTIFICATES, WHETHER OR NOT PARTICIPATING
IN THIS DISTRIBUTION, MAY BE REQUIRED TO DELIVER A
