Company.
The Class A-13 Underwriter intends to offer the Class A-13 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 Class A-13 Underwriter
may effect such transactions by selling the Class A-13 Certificates to or
through dealers. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Class A-13
Certificates, the Class A-13 Underwriter and any dealers that may participate
with the Class A-13 Underwriter in such resale of the Class A-13 Certificates
may be deemed to have received compensation from the Company in the form of
discounts or commissions or, in the case of such dealers, compensation from the
Class A-13 Underwriter in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. The
Class A-13 Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the
Class A-13 Underwriter against certain civil liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or contribute to payments required to be made in
respect thereof. There is currently no secondary market for the Class A-13
Certificates. There can be no assurance that an active secondary market will
develop, or if it does develop, that it will continue.
