(1)  Interest will be based on a swap agreement.
(2)  Interest will be based on a notional principal amount which will equal
     $82,500,000 (or the Class HE: A Principal Balance for such Payment Date, if
     less) for the first 24 Payment Dates, and will thereafter equal zero.  The
     Class HE: A-5 IO Certificates are interest-only Certificates and are not
     entitled to receive distributions of principal.

The Sub Pool HE Certificates will be priced, with respect to the Fixed Rate Home
Equity Contracts, using 125% of the Base Prepayment Assumption. The Base
Prepayment Assumption assumes a conditional prepayment rate of 4% per annum of
the then outstanding principal balance of the Fixed Rate Home Equity Contracts
in the first month of the life of the Fixed Rate Home Equity Contracts and an
additional 1.45% (precisely, 16/11%) per annum in each month thereafter until
the twelfth month.  Beginning in the twelfth month and in each month thereafter,
the conditional prepayment rate is 20%.  The Sub Pool HE Certificates will be
priced, with respect to the Adjustable Rate Home Equity Contracts, using a
constant prepayment rate of 30% CPR.  The Sub Pool HI Certificates will be
priced using 100% of a prepayment rate assuming a conditional prepayment rate of
12% per annum of the then outstanding principal balance of the Home Improvement
Contracts in the first month of the life of the Home Improvement Contracts and
an additional 1% per annum in each month thereafter until the twelfth month.
Beginning in the twelfth month and in each month thereafter, the conditional
prepayment rate is 24%

                         (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes.

TAX STATUS -- GRANTOR 
TRUST:                   The Class HE: A-1 Certificates will represent
                         individual ownership interests in a grantor trust
                         consisting of (1) the Class HE: A-1 Underlying REMIC
                         Certificates issued by the Trust (which are not offered
                         hereby) and (2) a swap agreement between the Trust and
                         Credit Suisse Financial Products (the "Swap
                         Counterparty") pursuant to which agreement (the "Swap
                         Agreement") the Swap Counterparty will be entitled to

                         trust in respect of the Class HE: A-1 Underlying REMIC
                         Certificates and will be obligated to pay to the
                         grantor trust interest based on one-month LIBOR for the
                         Class HE: A-1 Certificates for a period of 15 years
                         from the Closing Date and subject to a maximum rate of
                         14%.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION:     10% cleanup call.

ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL:   The data set forth below with respect to each Sub-Pool
                         is based solely on the contracts identified for
                         inclusion in each Sub-Pool as of the related Cut-off
                         Date ("Original Home Improvement Contracts" and
                         "Original Home Equity Contracts").  Certain additional
                         contracts will be identified for inclusion in each Sub-
                         Pool prior to the Closing Date ("Additional Home
                         Improvement Contracts" and "Additional Home Equity
                         Contracts").  During a limited period following the
                         Closing Date, the Trust Fund will purchase subsequent
                         contracts ("Subsequent Home Improvement Contracts" and
                         "Subsequent Home Equity Contracts" and, collectively,
                         "Subsequent Contracts").  It is expected that the
                         Additional and Subsequent Contracts will have
                         characteristics that are substantially similar to the
                         related group of original contracts.

DISTRIBUTIONS:           Sub-Pool HE includes adjustable-rate closed-end home
                         equity loans subject to interest rate adjustments after
                         an initial period of up to 36 months (the "Adjustable
                         Rate Home Equity Contracts"; all Home Equity Contracts
                         other than the Adjustable Rate Home Equity Contracts
                         are referred to herein as the "Fixed Rate Home Equity
                         Contracts"). The Fixed Rate Home Equity Contracts
                         consist of Group I Home Equity Contracts and Group II
                         Home Equity Contracts. Each Group I Home Equity
                         Contract, together with any other loan having a prior
                         mortgage, has an original principal balance of no more
                         than $227,150. Group II Contracts are all Fixed Rate
                         Home Equity Contracts designated as Group II Contracts
                         (without regard to whether or not they conform to such

                         of payments made on or in respect of the Home Equity
                         Contracts comprising Sub-Pool HE, and will include
                         amounts otherwise payable to the Servicer (as long as
                         Green Tree is the Servicer) as the Sub-Pool HE Monthly
                         Servicing Fee with respect to the Home Equity
                         Contracts, to Green Tree as the Sub-Pool HE Guaranty
                         Fee and to the Class HE: C Certificateholder.

                         Class HE: A Certificates are senior to the Class HE: M
                         and Class HE: B Certificates. Class HE: M Certificates
                         are senior to the Class HE: B Certificates.

PRE-FUNDING FEATURE:     On the Closing Date, a portion of the proceeds from the
                         sale of the Sub-Pool HE Certificates (the "Sub-Pool HE
                         Pre-Funded Amount") will be deposited with the Trustee
                         in a segregated account (the "Sub-Pool HE Pre-Funding
                         Account") and used by the Trust to purchase Subsequent
                         Home Equity Contracts during the Pre-Funding Period.
                         The Sub-Pool HE Pre-Funded Amount will be reduced
                         during the Pre-Funding Period by the amounts thereof
                         used to fund such purchases. Any amounts remaining in
                         the Sub-Pool HE Pre-Funding Account following the Pre-
                         Funding Period will be (i) paid in respect of the Class
                         HE: A-1 Certificates in the case of amounts which had
                         been allocated to fund the purchase of Subsequent Home
                         Equity Contracts that are Fixed Rate Group I Home
                         Equity Contracts, (ii) paid in respect of the Class HE:
                         A-2 Certificates in the case of amounts which had been
                         allocated to fund the purchase of Subsequent Home
                         Equity Contracts that are Fixed Rate Group II Home
                         Equity Contracts and (iii) paid in respect of the Class
                         HE: A-1B ARM Certificates in the case of amounts which
                         had been allocated to fund the purchase of Subsequent
                         Home Equity Contracts which are Adjustable Rate Home
                         Equity Contracts.

LOSSES ON LIQUIDATED
HE CONTRACTS:            If Net Liquidation Proceeds from Liquidated Contracts
                         in the respective collection period are less than the
                         Scheduled Principal Balance of such Liquidated
                         Contracts plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the
                         deficiency will be absorbed by the Class HE: C
                         Certificateholder, then the Sub-Pool HE Guaranty Fee
                         otherwise payable to the Company, then the Sub-Pool HE
                         Monthly Servicing Fee otherwise payable to the Servicer
                         (as long as Green Tree is the Servicer), then the Class
                         HE: B Certificateholders, then the Reserve Fund, then
                         the Class HE: M-2 Certificateholders and then the Class
                         HE: M-1 Certificateholders. On the Closing Date
                         approximately $44,000,000 will be deposited in a
                         Reserve Account pursuant to a loan to the Trust funded
                         on the Closing Date by one or more third-party lenders
                         (the "Reserve Account Lenders"). Amounts will be
                         withdrawn from the Reserve Account for payment of
                         principal of the Class HE: A Certificates and the Class
                         HE: M Certificates to the extent that Liquidation
                         Losses on the Home Equity Contracts exceed the level of
                         support provided by the Class HE: B Certificates.

INTEREST
(Class HE: A, M-1, M-2): Interest will be distributable first to each Class of
                         Class HE: A Certificates concurrently, then to the
                         Class HE: M-1 Certificates and then to the Class HE: 
                         M-2 Certificates.

                         Interest will be paid concurrently on each Class of
                         Class HE: A Certificates at the related Pass-Through
                         Rate on the then outstanding related Class Principal
                         Balance (in the case of Class HE: A Certificates other
                         than the Class HE: A-5 IO Certificates). Interest will
                         be calculated on the Class HE: A-5 IO Certificates on
                         the basis of a "Notional Principal Amount" equal to the
                         lesser of (a) the principal balance of the Class HE: A
                         Certificates and (b) $82,500,000 (reference to the
                         Notional Principal Amount is solely for convenience in
                         certain calculations and does not represent the right
                         to receive any distribution allocable to principal).
                         The Class HE: A-5 IO Certificates are entitled to
                         receive interest payments only through the Payment Date
                         in August 2000. Interest will initially accrue from the
                         Closing Date and thereafter will accrue from the most
                         recent Payment Date on which interest has been paid, in
                         each case, to but excluding the following Payment Date.

                         The Class HE: A-1 Certificates will bear interest at a
                         variable Pass-Through Rate calculated on an actual/360
                         basis. The Pass-Through Rate for the Class HE: A-1
                         Certificates will be floating and equal one-month LIBOR
                         plus a fixed margin (the "Class A-1 Pass-Through
                         Margin") until the Distribution Date in December 2013
                         but in no event will exceed 14%. The Pass-Through Rate
                         after that date will equal that on the Class HE: A-1
                         Underlying REMIC Certificates. The Pass-Through Rate on
                         both the Class HE: A-1 Certificates and the Class HE:A-
                         1 Underlying REMIC Certificates will increase by 0.25%
                         on the Payment Date on which the principal balance of
                         the Home Equity Contracts and the Home Improvement
                         Contracts is less than 10% of the Principal Balance as
                         of the Cut-off Date and will remain at that rate
                         thereafter.

                         The Class HE: A-1 Underlying REMIC Certificates, which
                         are not offered hereby, will bear interest (payable to
                         the Swap Counterparty) at a rate to be determined,
                         which may be variable.

                         The Class HE: A-1B ARM Certificates will bear interest
                         at a variable Pass-Through Rate calculated on an
                         actual/360 basis. The Pass-Through Rate for the Class
                         HE: A-1B ARM Certificates will be floating and will
                         equal the lesser of:

                         i.   one-month LIBOR plus the Class A-1B ARM Pass-
                              Through Margin;
                         ii.  the Available Funds Pass-Through Rate; or
                         iii. 14.00%.

                         The Class A-1B ARM Pass-Through Margin will equal
                         [___%] per annum through the Payment Date on which the
                         principal balance of the Home Equity Contracts and Home
                         Improvement Contracts is 10% or more of the Principal
                         Balance of the Home Equity Contracts and Home
                         Improvement Contracts as of the Cut-off Date, and will
                         increase by 0.25% per annum on the Payment Date on
                         which the principal balance of the Home Equity
                         Contracts and Home Improvement Contracts is less than
                         10% of the Principal Balance of the Home Equity
                         Contracts and Home Improvement Contracts as of the Cut-
                         off Date. The Available Funds Pass-Through Rate for any
                         Payment Date will be a rate per annum equal to the
                         weighted average of the Expense Adjusted Mortgage Rates
                         on the then outstanding Adjustable Rate Contracts. The
                         Expense Adjusted Mortgage Rate on any Adjustable Rate
                         Contract is equal to the then applicable Loan Interest
                         Rate thereon, minus the Expense Fee Rate, which is
                         0.50% per annum and equal to the sum of the servicing
                         fee and the trustee fee.

                         Interest on the outstanding Class HE: A Principal
                         Balance, Class HE: M-1 Adjusted Principal Balance,
                         Class HE: M-2 Adjusted Principal Balance, as
                         applicable, will accrue from the Closing Date, or from
                         the most recent Payment Date on which interest has been
                         paid to but excluding the following Payment Date.
                         Interest on the Class HE: A-1B ARM Certificates and the
                         Class HE: A-1 Certificates will accrue on

<PAGE>
                         an actual/360 basis. Interest on all other Class HE
                         Certificates will accrue on a 30/360 basis. Interest
                         shortfalls will be carried forward, and will bear
                         interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate, to the
                         extent legally permissible.

                         The Class HE: M-1 Adjusted Principal Balance is the
                         Class HE: M-1 Principal Balance less any Class HE: M-1
                         Liquidation Loss Principal Amount. The Class HE: M-1
                         Principal Balance is the Original Class HE: M-1
                         Principal Balance less all amounts previously
                         distributed on account of principal of the Class HE: 
                         M-1 Certificates.

                         The Class HE: M-2 Adjusted Principal Balance is the
                         Class HE: M-2 Principal Balance less any Class HE: M-2
                         Liquidation Loss Principal Amount. The Class HE: M-2
                         Principal Balance is the Original Class HE: M-2
                         Principal Balance less all amounts previously
                         distributed on account of principal of the Class HE: 
                         M-2 Certificates.

                         After the payment of all interest distributable to
                         Class HE: A, Class HE: M-1 and Class HE: M-2
                         Certificateholders, interest accrued on the loan used
                         to fund the Reserve Account in excess of investment
                         earnings on the Reserve Account will be distributed to
                         the Reserve Account Lenders.

CLASS HE: A PRINCIPAL:   The remaining Amount Available shall be distributed as
                         principal as follows: The Class HE: A-1A NAS
                         Certificateholders and the Class HE: A-1B ARM
                         Certificateholders will be entitled to receive an
                         amount equal to the Class HE: A-1A NAS Percentage and
                         the Class HE: A-1B ARM Percentage, respectively, of the
                         Sub-Pool HE ARM Formula Principal Distribution Amount.
                         The Class HE: A-1 Certificateholders will be entitled
                         to receive an amount equal to the Class HE: A-1 Portion
                         of the Sub-Pool HE Group I Formula Principal
                         Distribution Amount. The Class A Portion of the Sub-
                         Pool HE Group II Formula Principal Distribution Amount
                         will be distributed first to the Class HE: A-2
                         Certificateholders until the Class HE: A-2 Principal
                         Balance has been reduced to zero, then to the Class HE:
                         A-3 Certificateholders until the Class HE: A-3
                         Principal Balance has been reduced to zero, then the
                         Class HE: A-4 Certificateholders until the Class HE: 
                         A-4 Principal Balance has been reduced to zero.

                         The "Sub-Pool HE Group I Formula Principal Distribution
                         Amount" will generally be equal to (A) the sum of (i)
                         all scheduled payments of principal due on each

                         respect of Group I Home Equity Contracts, (iv) the
                         scheduled principal balance of each Group I Home Equity
                         Contract that became a liquidated contract during such
                         related Due Period, (v) any amount described in clauses
                         (i) through (iv) above that was not previously
                         distributed because of an insufficient amount of funds
                         available if (a) the Payment Date occurs on or after
                         the Payment Date on which the Class HE: B Principal
                         Balance has been reduced to zero, or (b) such amount
                         was not covered by a Class HE: B Guaranty Payment and
                         corresponding reduction in the Class HE: B Principal
                         Balance, and (vi) on any Payment Date on or after the
                         Payment Date on which the Class HE: A-2, A-3, and A-4
                         Certificates have been paid in full, the Class HE: A
                         Portion of the Sub-Pool HE: Group II Formula Principal
                         Distribution Amount less the amount, if any,
                         distributed in payment of the Class HE: A-2, A-3 and 
                         A-4 Certificates on such Payment Date.

                         The "Sub-Pool HE Group II Formula Principal
                         Distribution Amount" will generally be equal to (A) the
                         sum of (i) all scheduled payments of principal due on
                         each outstanding Group II Home Equity Contract during

                         until the Class HE: B Principal Balance has been
                         reduced to zero. The Class HE: B Formula Principal
                         Distribution Amount will equal (a) on any Payment Date
                         as of which the Class HE: A and Class HE: M Principal
                         Balances have not been to reduced to zero, the lesser
                         of (i) the excess of the Class HE: B Adjusted Principal
                         Balance over $5,500,000 and (ii) the excess of the

                         Payment Date, is the Class HE: B Principal Balance as
                         of that Payment Date minus any Class HE: B Liquidation
                         Loss Principal Amount as of the prior Payment Date.

                         On each Payment Date, the Class HE: B
                         Certificateholders will also be entitled to receive,

                         with the unpaid portion of any such excess from prior
                         Distribution Dates (and interest accrued thereon at the

LOSSES ON LIQUIDATED
HI CONTRACTS:            If Net Liquidation Proceeds from Liquidated Contracts
                         in the respective collection period are less than the
                         Scheduled Principal Balances of such Liquidated
                         Contracts plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the
                         deficiency will be absorbed by the Class HI: C
                         Certificateholder, then the Sub-Pool HI Guaranty Fee
                         otherwise payable to the Company, then the Monthly

                         Certificateholders.

PRE-FUNDING FEATURE:     On the Closing Date, a portion of the proceeds from the
                         sale of the Sub-Pool HI Certificates (the "Sub-Pool HI
                         Pre-Funded Amount") will be deposited with the Trustee
                         in a segregated account (the "Sub-Pool HI Pre-Funding
                         Account") and used by the Trust to purchase Subsequent
                         Home Improvement Contracts during a period (not longer
                         than 90 days) following the Closing Date (the "Pre-
                         Funding Period"). The Sub-Pool HI Pre-Funded Amount
                         will be reduced during the Pre-Funding Period by the
                         amounts thereof used to fund such purchases. Any
                         amounts remaining in the Sub-Pool HI Pre-Funding
                         Account following the Pre-Funding Period will be
                         distributed to the Class HI: A Certificateholders.


INTEREST
(Class HI: A, M-1, 
M-2, B-1):               Interest will be distributable first to the Class HI: A
                         Certificates, then to the Class HI: M-1 Certificates,
                         then to the Class HI: M-2 Certificates and then to the
                         Class HI: B-1 Certificates. Interest on the outstanding
                         Class HI: A Principal Balance, Class HI: M-1 Adjusted
                         Principal Balance, Class HI: M-2 Adjusted Principal
                         Balance and Class HI: B-1 Adjusted Principal Balance,
                         as applicable, will initially accrue from the Closing
                         Date and thereafter will accrue from the most recent
                         Payment Date on which interest has been paid to, in
                         each case, but excluding the following Payment Date.
                         Interest on all Sub-Pool HI Certificates will accrue on
                         a 30/360 basis.

                         Interest shortfalls will be carried forward, and will
                         bear interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate, to
                         the extent legally permissible.

                         The Class HI: M-1 Adjusted Principal Balance is the
                         Class HI: M-1 Principal Balance less any Class HI: M-1
                         Liquidation Loss Principal Amount. The Class HI: M-1
                         Principal Balance is the Original Class HI: M-1
                         Principal Balance less all amounts previously
                         distributed on account of principal of the Class HI: 
                         M-1 Certificates.

                         The Class HI: M-2 Adjusted Principal Balance is the
                         Class HI: M-2 Principal Balance less any Class HI: M-2
                         Liquidation Loss Principal Amount. The Class HI: M-2
                         Principal Balance is the Original Class HI: M-2
                         Principal Balance less all amounts previously
                         distributed on account of principal of the Class HI: 
                         M-2 Certificates.

                         The Class HI: B-1 Adjusted Principal Balance is the
                         Class HI: B-1 Principal Balance less any Class HI: B-1
                         Liquidation Loss Principal Amount. The Class HI: B-1

                         Principal Balance is the Original Class HI: B-1
                         Principal Balance less all amounts previously
                         distributed on account of principal of the Class HI: B-
                         1 Certificates.

PRINCIPAL
(Class HI: A, M-1, 
M-2, B-1):               After the payment of all interest distributable to
                         Class HI: A, Class HI: M-1, Class HI: M-2 and Class HI:
                         B-1 Certificateholders, principal will be distributed
                         in the following manner.


CLASS HI: A PRINCIPAL:   The Class HI: A Certificateholders will be entitled to
                         receive the Sub-Pool HI Senior Percentage of the Sub-
                         Pool HI Formula Principal Distribution Amount, until
                         the Class HI: A-1 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                         zero.

                         The "Sub-Pool HI Senior Percentage" will equal 100% if
                         either of the following exist:

                         i)  the Payment Date is prior to December 2001 (month
                             37); or

                         ii) any Class HI: B Principal Distribution Test (see
                             below) is not satisfied.

                         Otherwise, the Sub-Pool HI Senior Percentage will equal
                         a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
                         Class HI: A Principal Balance and the Class HI: M
                         Principal Balance for a given Payment Date, and the
                         denominator of which is the Scheduled Principal Balance
                         of Sub-Pool HI for the immediately preceding Payment
                         Date.

                         The "Sub-Pool HI Formula Principal Distribution Amount"
                         will generally be equal to (A) the sum of (i) all
                         scheduled payments of principal due on each outstanding
                         Home Improvement Contract during the related Due
                         Period, (ii) the Scheduled Balance of each Home
                         Improvement Contract which, during the related Due
                         Period, was repurchased by the Company, (iii) all
                         partial principal prepayments applied and all principal
                         prepayments in full received during such Due Period in
                         respect of Home Improvement Contracts, (iv) the
                         scheduled principal balance of each Home Improvement
                         Contract that became a liquidated contract during such
                         related Due Period and (v) any amount described in
                         clauses (i) through (iv) above that was not previously
                         distributed because of an insufficient amount of funds
                         available if (a) the Payment Date occurs on or after
                         the Payment Date on which the Class HI: B-2 Principal
                         Balance has been reduced to zero, or (b) such amount
                         was not covered by a Class HI: B-2 Guaranty Payment and
                         corresponding reduction in the Class HI: B-2 Principal
                         Balance.

CLASS HI: M-1 PRINCIPAL: Class HI: M-1 Certificateholders will not receive
                         principal payments until the Class HI: A Principal
                         Balance has been reduced to zero. At that time the
                         Class HI: M-1 Certificateholders will be entitled to
                         receive the Sub-Pool HI Senior Percentage of the Sub-
                         Pool HI Formula Principal Distribution Amount, until
                         the Class HI: M-1 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                         zero.

CLASS HI: M-2 PRINCIPAL: Class HI: M-2 Certificateholders will not receive
                         principal payments until the Class HI: A and Class HI:
                         M-1 Principal Balances have been reduced to zero. At
                         that time the Class HI: M-2 Certificateholders will be
                         entitled to receive the Sub-Pool HI Senior Percentage
                         of the Sub-Pool HI Formula Principal Distribution
                         Amount, until the Class HI: M-2 Principal Balance has
                         been reduced to zero.

CLASS HI: B-1 PRINCIPAL: The Class HI: B-1 Certificateholders will not receive
                         principal payments until (i) the Class HI: B Cross-over
                         Date and (ii) such time as either (a) each Class HI: B
                         Principal Distribution Test is satisfied or (b) the
                         Class HI: A Principal Balance and the Class HI: M
                         Principal Balance have each been reduced to zero. At
                         that time, to the extent of the amount available after
                         payment of all interest distributable to Class HI: A,
                         Class HI: M-1, Class HI: M-2 and Class HI: B-1
                         Certificateholders, and all principal distributable to
                         Class HI: A, Class HI: M-1, and Class HI: M-2
                         Certificateholders, Class HI: B-1 Certificateholders
                         will receive the Class HI: B Percentage of the Sub-Pool
                         HI Formula Principal Distribution Amount, until the
                         Class HI: B-1 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                         zero.

                         The Class HI: B Percentage will be equal to 100% minus
                         the Sub-Pool HI Senior Percentage. The Class HI: B
                         Percentage after the Class HI: A and Class HI: M
                         Principal Balances have been reduced to zero will be
                         equal to 100%.

CLASS HI: B PRINCIPAL
DISTRIBUTION TESTS:      (i) the average of the Sub-Pool HI Sixty-Day
                         Delinquency Ratio as of the given Payment Date and the
                         prior two Payment Dates must not exceed 2.5%;

                         (ii) the average of the Sub-Pool HI Thirty-Day
                         Delinquency Ratio as of the given Payment Date and the

                         (iii) the Sub-Pool HI Cumulative Realized Losses as of
                         the given Payment Date must not exceed 10%;

                         (iv) the Sub-Pool HI Current Realized Loss Ratio as of
                         the given Payment Date must not exceed 2.5%; and

                         (v) the Class HI: B Principal Balance divided by the
                         Pool Scheduled Principal Balance of Sub-Pool HI as of
                         the immediately preceding Payment Date must be equal to
                         or greater than 20%.

ACCELERATED
PRINCIPAL PAYMENT:       On any Payment Date prior to the Payment Date in
                         September 2001, if the One-Hundred Twenty Day
                         Delinquency Ratio as of such Payment Date exceeds 3%,
                         all remaining available cashflow on that Payment Date
                         will be used to pay the Classes sequentially: to the
                         Class HI: A-1 Certificateholders until the Class HI: A-
                         1 Principal Balance has been reduced to zero, then to
                         the Class HI: M-1 Certificateholders until the Class
                         HI: M-1 Principal Balance has been reduced to zero,
                         then to the Class HI: M-2 Certificateholders until the

                         Certificateholders until the Class HI: B-2 Principal
                         Balance has been reduced to zero.

LIQUIDATION
LOSS INTEREST:           Liquidation Loss Interest will be distributable first
                         to the Class HI: M-1 Certificates, then to the Class 
                         HI: M-2 Certificates and then to the Class HI: B-1
                         Certificates. Interest on the outstanding Class HI: M-1

                             HOME EQUITY CONTRACTS


     The Home Equity Contracts comprising Sub-Pool HE consist of both fixed rate
and adjustable rate closed-end home equity contracts.  The adjustable rate
closed-end home equity contracts are subject to interest rate adjustments after
an initial six month, twenty-four month, or thirty-six month period (the
"Adjustable Rate Home Equity Contracts").  All Home Equity Contracts which are
not Adjustable Rate Contracts are referred to herein as "Fixed Rate Home Equity
Contracts."  The obligations of the Obligor under each Home Equity Contract are
secured by the related real estate.

     The information concerning the Initial Home Equity Contracts presented
below is based on a pool originated through September 30, 1998.  Green Tree
intends to acquire and sell Additional Home Equity Contracts to the Trust on the
Closing Date and Subsequent Contracts to the Trust thereafter.  Although the
characteristics of the final pool of Home Equity Contracts will differ from the
characteristics of the Initial Home Equity Contracts shown below, Green Tree
does not expect that the characteristics of the Additional and Subsequent Home
Equity Contracts sold to the Trust will vary materially from those of the
Initial Home Equity Contracts herein.

                           HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTS

     The Home Improvement Contracts comprising Sub-Pool HI consist of
conventional and FHA-insured home improvement contracts and promissory notes.
The obligations of the Obligor under each Home Improvement Contract are secured
by the related real estate.

     The information concerning the Initial Home Improvement Contracts presented
below is based on a pool originated through October 27, 1998. Green Tree intends
to acquire and sell Additional Home Improvement Contracts to the Trust on the
Closing Date and Subsequent Home Improvement Contracts to the Trust thereafter.
Although the characteristics of the final pool of Home Improvement Contracts
will differ from the characteristics of the Initial Home Improvement Contracts
shown below, Green Tree does not expect that the characteristics of the
Additional and Subsequent Home Improvement Contracts sold to the Trust will vary
materially from those of the Initial Home Improvement Contracts herein.
