***Class A-3
Coupon Rate:                    The Class A-3 Coupon Rate at each Payment Date
                                will be equal to the lesser of:
                                1)  One Month LIBOR + [0.45]% ("LIBOR Rate");
                                2)  Available Funds Cap (less [75 bps] carve
                                    out);
                                3)  Fixed Cap set at [13]%

**Class A-3 Coupon Step-up:     Class A-3 is priced to call. If the Servicer
                                does not exercise the Cleanup Call, the LIBOR
                                Rate on Class A-3 will equal One Month LIBOR +
                                (2 x [0.45]%).

Limited Coverage of Interest
to Class A-3 by Note
Insurance Policy:               The Note Insurer will insure payment of Class
                                A-3 interest only up to the Available Funds Cap.

                                The "Available Funds Cap" is a rate equal to the
                                weighted average gross coupon rate on the Pool C
                                Mortgage Loans for such Payment 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 =
                                [0.750]% to provide excess spread for building
                                overcollateralization and for covering any
                                losses which may occur.


LIBOR Interest Carryforward:    If, on any Payment Date, the amount of interest
                                (calculated at the LIBOR Rate) due to Class A-3
                                is limited to the Available Funds Cap, it may be
                                repaid as set forth below.  The excess of (i)
                                the amount of interest Class A-3 would be
                                entitled to receive on such Payment Date at the
                                then applicable LIBOR Rate over (ii) the amount
                                of accrued interest for such Payment Date at the
                                Available Funds Cap, together with the unpaid
                                portion of any such excess from prior Payment
                                Dates (and interest accrued thereon at the then
                                applicable LIBOR Rate) is referred to as the
                                LIBOR Interest Carryforward. Any LIBOR Interest
                                Carryforward will be carried forward to the next
                                Payment Date until paid as set forth below. The
                                LIBOR Interest Carryforward will not be insured
                                by the FSA guarantee.

                                If, on any Payment Date, the LIBOR Rate exceeds
                                the Fixed Cap, the Class A-3 Noteholder will
                                solely be entitled to interest calculated at the
                                Fixed Cap.

                        month 10 based on loan seasoning). This means that

                        curve.

Payment Date:           The 15th day of each month (or, if any such date is not

Accrual Period:         With respect to any Payment Date, interest on the Class
                        A-1 and Class A-2 Notes will accrue during the prior
                        calendar month and will be calculated based on a 360-day
                        year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Class A-3 Interest
Accrual Period:         With respect to the first Payment Date, interest will
                        accrue from the Settlement Date to but excluding the
                        Payment Date in January. In future periods, interest
                        will accrue on the Class A-3 Notes from the preceding
                        Payment Date to but excluding the current Payment Date.

Optional
Cleanup Call:           The Servicer may call:

                           outstanding principal balance of the respective Note
                           balance is less than or equal to 10% of its original

                           10% of the aggregate original principal balance of

                        insure the LIBOR Interest Carryforward amount.

Overcollateralization
and Reserve Account:    The credit enhancement provisions of the Trust are
                        intended to provide for the acceleration of the Class A
                        Notes relative to the amortization of the related
                        collateral (i.e., Pool A for the A-1 Notes, Pool B for
                        the A-2 Notes and Pool C for the A-3 Notes), generally
                        in the early years of the transaction. Accelerated
                        amortization is achieved by applying 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 Notes is created. Beginning n the first
                        payment date, 100% 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 maintained, 100%
                        of the excess cashflow will be applied to build O/C, as
                        necessary, to maintain the required O/C level. If any
                        Pool's O/C target is reached before the O/C target of
                        any other Pool, 100% of the excess cashflow from the
                        "satisfied" Pool(s) will be directed to a reserve
                        account to the extent of any deficiency in the O/C
                        requirement for the "unsatisfied" Pool(s). After
                        initially reaching its O/C target, if any Pool's O/C
                        target is maintained and the other Pool(s) become(s)
                        deficient in its O/C requirement, 100% of the excess
                        cashflow from the "satisfied" Pool(s) will be directed
                        to a reserve account to the extent of any deficiency in
                        the O/C requirement for the "unsatisfied" Pool(s). If
                        the sum of the O/C level of the "unsatisfied" Pool(s)
                        and the amount on deposit in the related Reserve
                        Account(s) exceeds the O/C target, such excess will be
                        distributed to the related Trust Certificateholder.
                        Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account(s) will be used
                        to pay shortfalls of current interest on or credit
                        losses related to any Class of Notes, but only to the
                        extent the O/C level on such Class(es) has been reduced
                        to zero.

Cross-
Collateralization:      The three pools are cross-collateralized to a limited
                        extent.

Overcollateralization
Levels for Pool A,
Pool B & Pool C
(Approx.):              Initial O/C based on original collateral balance: [1.0%]
                        O/C Target based on outstanding collateral balance:
                        [5.5%]
                        These O/C percentages are subject to step-downs
                        beginning in month [31] if certain tests are met.

Collateral
Information:            The collateral information presented herein is a
                        projection of the expected collateral pool. The actual
                        collateral will be accumulated before the Settlement
                        Date to reach Pool A's expected closing pool balance of
