The Class M underwriter will offer to the public the Class M Certificates,
in negotiated transactions or otherwise, directly or through dealers, at varying
prices to be determined at the time of sale. The Class M underwriter's
commission will be the difference between the price it pays to the depositor for
the Class M Certificates and the amount it receives from the sale of the Class M
Certificates to the public. The proceeds to the depositor from the sale of the
Class M Certificates to the Class M underwriter will be $3,809,387.55 before
deducting expenses.
The Class M Certificates will be offered pursuant to a Class M
underwriting agreement among the depositor, the master servicer and the Class M
underwriter. The Class M underwriter and any dealers that may participate with
the Class M underwriter in the resale of the Class M Certificates may receive
compensation from the depositor in the form of discounts or commissions or, in
the case of dealers, compensation from the Class M underwriter in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions. The Class M underwriting agreement
provides that the depositor will indemnify the Class M 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 M Certificates. There can be no
assurance that an active secondary market will develop, or if it does develop,
that it will continue.
