<PAGE>
CREDIT ENHANCEMENT:
The Credit Enhancement provided for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders consists of the overcollateralization and
the Policy issued by Financial Security Assurance (FSA or the
Insurer).
The Insurer will irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee
payment to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the
Class A Certificates, on each Distribution Date of an amount
that will cover any interest shortfalls (except for shortfalls
in respect of the Relief Act, Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid
Basis Risk Shortfalls) allocated to the Class A Certificates
plus the principal portion of any Realized Losses allocated to
the Class A Certificates.
PRINCIPAL DISTRIBUTIONS:
The Class A Certificates will receive payments of principal from the Fixed Rate
and Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans.
INTEREST DISTRIBUTIONS:
PRIOR TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE 10% CLEAN-UP CALL (AS DEFINED BELOW):
On each Remittance Date, interest will accrue at the Class A Pass- Through Rate
from the preceding Remittance Date (or from the Closing Date in the case of the
first Remittance Date) to and including the day prior to the current Remittance
Date on the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Certificates. All
calculations of interest on the Class A Certificates will be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the related interest period and in
a year of 360 days. The Class A Pass Through Rate will be equal to the lesser of
(1) One-Month LIBOR plus [ ]% per annum and (2) the weighted average of the
Mortgage Rates minus the sum of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate (0.50%), (b) the
Trustee Fee Rate (0.01%), (c) the rate at which monthly premiums are payable to
the Insurer (0.18%) and (d) the Minimum Spread (0.75% per annum) (such
difference equaling the "Available Funds Cap Rate").
Recipients must read the information contained in the attached statement. Do not
use or rely on this information if you have not received and reviewed the
statement. If you have not received the statement, call your Merrill Lynch
account executive for another copy.

<PAGE>
After the availability of the 10% cleanup call the Class A Pass-Through Rate
will increase on and after the date on which the 10% clean-up call becomes
available but is not exercised, subject to the Available Funds Pass Through
Rate.
BASIS RISK SHORTFALL:
With respect to the Class A Certificates and any Distribution Date, to the
extent that the amount payable if clause (1) of the related definition of Class
A Pass-Through Rate above is used to calculate interest exceeds the amount
payable if clause (2) of the related definition of Pass-Through Rate above is
used to calculate interest (the "Basis Risk Shortfall"), the holders of the
Class A Certificates will be entitled to the amount of such Basis Risk Shortfall
with interest thereon at the Pass-Through Rate for such Certificates applicable
from time to time after certain distributions to the holders of the Class A
Certificates and the Insurer but before the Residual Certificates are entitled
to any distributions. The "Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfall" for the Class A
Certificates on any Distribution Date is equal to the aggregate of all Basis
Risk Shortfalls for any previous Distribution Dates less all payments made to
the holders of the Class A Certificates in respect of such Basis Risk Shortfalls
on or prior to such Distribution Date. The Policy will not cover Basis Risk
Shortfalls or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls.
SUPPLEMENTAL INTEREST:
On any Remittance Date through July 25, 1998 or such other date as specified in
the Prospectus, Holders of the Class A Certificates may be entitled to
supplemental payments of interest (the "Supplemental Interest"), pursuant to a
Cap Agreement in an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest
calculated at the Class A Pass- Through Rate without giving effect to the
Available Funds Cap Rate, over (2)the amount of interest otherwise due to the
Holders of the Class A Certificates calculated at the Class A Pass-Through Rate
after giving effect to the Available Funds Cap Rate.
Recipients must read the information contained in the attached statement. Do not
use or rely on this information if you have not received and reviewed the
statement. If you have not received the statement, call your Merrill Lynch
account executive for another copy.

OPTIONAL TERMINATION/10% CLEANUP CALL:
At its option, the majority holder of the Residual Certificates (or if such
holder does not exercise such option, the Master Servicer or the Insurer) may
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans, together with any properties in respect
thereof acquired by the Trustee, and thereby effect termination and early
retirement of the Certificates, on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and such properties remaining is 10% or
less of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date.
MORTGAGE POOL CHARACTERISTICS
The following represents the characteristics of the Fixed and Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loans as of September 1, 1996. The Mortgage Loan Seller and Servicer
has recently originated the remainder of the Mortgage Loans and therefor will
deliver all of the Mortgage Loans at Closing. It is anticipated that the
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans will represent approximately 79.5% and the Fixed
Rate Mortgage Loans will represent approximately 20.5% of the Portfolio at
Closing. The characteristics of the newly originated Mortgage Loans may differ
slightly from those set forth below.

PREPAYMENT ASSUMPTIONS:
With respect to the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, a 100% Prepayment Assumption
assumes constant prepayment rates (CPR) of 4.00% per annum of the then
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in the first month of the
life of the mortgage loans and an additional 0.947368% per annum (or more
precisely 18/19) each month thereafter until the nineteenth month. Beginning in
the twentieth month and in each month thereafter during the life of the mortgage
loans 100% Prepayment Assumption assumes a constant prepayment rate of 22% per
annum each month.

% Prepay Assumpt.-
Fixed Rate Loans 0% 50% 100% 150% 200%
CPR-
Adjustable Rate Loans 0% 15% 20% 25% 30%
PREPAYMENT CHARGES:
Approximately 91% of the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans and approximately 79% of the
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans provide for payment by the mortgagor of a
prepayment charge in limited circumstances on certain prepayments. Generally,
each such Mortgage Loan provides for payment of a prepayment charge on certain
partial prepayments and all prepayments in full made within one year, two years,
three years or five years from the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan.
The amount of the prepayment charge is as provided in the related Mortgage Note
but is generally equal to six month's interest on any amounts prepaid in excess
of 20% of the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in
any 12 month period. The Master Servicer will be entitled to all prepayment
charges received on the Mortgage Loans and such amounts will not be available
for distribution on the Class A Certificates.

Materials") are privileged and confidential and are intended for use by the
addressee only. These Computational Materials are furnished to you solely by
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch") and not by
the issuer of the securities or any of its affiliates. The issuer of these
securities has not prepared or taken part in the preparation of these materials.
Neither Merrill Lynch, the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates
makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the information
herein. The collateral information set forth herein supersedes all previously
distributed collateral information relating to this transaction and will itself
be superseded by the information contained in the final prospectus and
prospectus supplement. The information herein is preliminary, and will be
subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. They may not be
provided to any third party other than the addressee's legal, tax, financial
and/or accounting advisors for the purposes of evaluating said material.
Numerous assumptions were used in preparing the Computational Material
which may or may not be stated therein. As such, no assurance can be given as to
the accuracy, appropriateness or completeness of the Computational Materials in
any particular context; or as to whether the Computational Materials and/or the
assumptions upon which they are based reflect present market conditions or
future market performance. These Computational Materials should not be construed
as either projections or predictions or as legal, tax, financial or accounting
advice.
Any yields or weighted average lives shown in the Computational
Materials are based on prepayment assumptions and actual prepayment experience
may dramatically affect such yields or weighted average lives. In addition, it
is possible that prepayments on the underlying assets will occur at rates slower
or faster than the rates assumed in the attached Computational Materials.
Furthermore, unless otherwise provided, the Computational Materials assume no
losses on the underlying assets and no interest shortfall. The specific
characteristics of the securities may differ from those shown in the
Computational Materials due to differences between the actual underlying assets
and the hypothetical assets used in preparing the Computational Materials. The
principal amount and designation of any security described in the Computational
Materials are subject to change prior to issuance.
