**Class A-2 Coupon:             The lesser of:
                                1)  One Month LIBOR + [TBD]bps
                                2)  Available Funds Cap

**Class A-2 Coupon Step-up:     Class A-2 is priced to the call. If the Servicer
                                does not exercise the Cleanup Call, the Class
                                A-2 Coupon will equal the lesser of:
                                1)  One Month LIBOR + (2 x [TBD]bps)
                                2)  Available Funds Cap

Available Funds Cap:            A rate equal to the weighted average gross
                                coupon rate on the Pool B Mortgage Loans for
                                such Distribution Date less the Expense Fee
                                Rate and the Credit Spread Rate.

                                Expense Fee Rate = 0.725% for servicing fee,
                                trustee fee and surety fee.
                                Credit Spread Rate = [0.75%] to provide excess
                                spread for building overcollateralization and
                                for covering any losses which may occur.

LIBOR Interest Carryover:       If, on any Disbribution Date, the Class A-2
                                Coupon is based upon the Available Funds Cap,
                                the excess of (i) the amount of interest Class
                                A-2 would otherwise be entitled to receive on
                                such Disbribution Date at the then-applicable
                                LIBOR Rate in the absence of the Available Funds
                                Cap, over (ii) the amount of accrued interest
                                for such Distribution Date at the Available
                                Funds Cap, together with the unpaid portion of
                                any such excess from prior Disbribution Dates
                                (and interest accrued thereon at the
                                then-applicable LIBOR Rate) is referred to as
                                the LIBOR Interest Carryover. Any LIBOR Interest
                                Carryover will be carried forward to the next
                                Distribution Date until paid from sources of
                                funds and in the priority set forth in the
                                Indenture. The LIBOR Interest Carryover will not
                                be insured by the FSA guarantee.

Cashflow Priority:              1) Repayment of unreimbursed Servicer advances;
                                2) Servicing fee;
                                3) Trustee fee;

                        month 10 based on loan seasoning). This means that

                        days for the Floating Rate Notes.

Interest Accrual 
Period:                 With respect to any Distribution Date, interest on the
                        Fixed Rate Notes will accrue during the prior calendar
                        month and will be calculated based on a 360-day year
                        consisting of twelve 30-day months.

                        With respect to any Distribution Date, interest on the
                        Floating Rate Notes will accrue during the period from
                        the Distribution Date in the immediately preceding month
                        (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, from
                        the Closing Date) to the day immediately preceding the
                        related Distribution Date. Interest on the Floating Rate

                        of the original collateral balance (Pool A & Pool B).

                        The Servicer may also call the Class A-2 Notes
                        separately on any Remittance Date when the
                        then-outstanding Class A-2 Notes principal balance is

Fixed Rate Notes
Credit Enhancement:     1)  100% wrap from FSA.
                        2)  Overcollateralization.
                        3)  Excess monthly cashflow from Pool A and Pool B (once
                            O/C requirements of the Floating Rate Notes are
                            satisfied).

Floating Rate Notes
Credit Enhancement:     1)  100% wrap from FSA.
                        2)  Overcollateralization.
                        3)  Excess monthly cashflow from Pool B and Pool A (once
                            O/C requirements of the Fixed Rate Notes are
                            satisfied).

Note Insurer:           Financial Security Assurance Inc. ("FSA").  
                        FSA's claims-paying ability is rated "AAA" by Standard &
                        Poor's and "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service.     

Note Insurance Policy:  The Note Insurance Policy will provide 100% coverage of
                        timely interest and ultimate principal payments due on
                        the Class A Notes.

Overcollateralization
and Reserve Account:    The credit enhancement provisions of the Trust are
                        intended to provide for the limited acceleration of the
                        Class A Notes relative to the amortization of the
                        related collateral (i.e., Pool A for the Fixed Rate
                        Notes and Pool B for the Floating Rate Notes), generally
                        in the early months of the transaction. Accelerated
                        amortization is achieved by applying certain excess
                        interest collected on the related collateral to the
                        payment of principal on the related group of Notes,
                        resulting in the build up of overcollateralization
                        ("O/C"). By paying down the principal balance of the
                        related group of Notes faster than the principal
                        amortization of the related collateral pool, an
                        overcollateralization amount equal to the excess of the
                        aggregate principal balance of the related collateral
                        pool over the principal balance of the related group of
                        Notes is created. On the first payment date, 0% of the
                        excess cashflow available from each pool will be
                        directed to build O/C; after the first payment date, 80%
                        of the excess cashflow available from the related
                        collateral will be directed to build O/C until the pool
                        initially reaches its required O/C target. After each
                        pool initially reaches its required O/C target, the
                        acceleration feature will cease, unless it is once again
                        necessary to maintain its required O/C level. If the
                        required O/C level is not reached or maintained, 100% of
                        the excess cashflow will be applied to build O/C, as
                        necessary, to reach or maintain the required O/C level.
                        If either Pool's O/C target is reached before the
                        other's, 80% of the excess cashflow from the "satisfied"
                        Pool will be directed to a reserve account to the extent
                        of any deficiency in the O/C requirement for the
                        "unsatisfied" Pool. After initially reaching their O/C
                        target, if either Pool's O/C target is maintained and
                        the other Pool becomes deficient in its O/C requirement,
                        100% of the excess cashflow from the "satisfied" Pool
                        will be directed to a reserve account to the extent of
                        any deficiency in the O/C requirement for the
                        "unsatisfied" Pool. If the sum of the O/C level of the
                        "unsatisfied" Pool and the amount on deposit in the
                        Reserve Account exceeds the O/C target, such excess will
                        be distributed to the Trust Certificateholder. Funds on
                        deposit in the Reserve Account will be used to pay
                        shortfalls of current interest or credit losses on
                        either Class of Notes, but only to the extent the O/C
                        level on such Class has been reduced to 0%.

Overcollateralization    
Levels for Pool A &
Pool B (Approx.):       Initial O/C based on original collateral balance: [1.0%]
                        O/C Target based on original collateral balance:  [5.0%]
                        These O/C percentages are subject to step-downs 
                        beginning in month [30] if certain tests are met.
