CUT-OFF DATE: June 30, 2000 for the Initial Contracts and July 31,
2000 for the Additional Contracts, in each case for

Subsequent Contract, the trust will be entitled to
receive all payments due after the last day of the
calendar month in which the subsequent closing
occurs.
EXP. PRICING: Week of July 31, 2000
EXP. SETTLEMENT/
CLOSING DATE: August 15, 2000
LEGAL FINAL: May 1, 2032
REMITTANCE DATE: The 1st day of each month (or if such 1st day is not
a business day, the next succeeding business day),
commencing in September 2000.
OTHER CERTIFICATES: In addition to the Offered Certificates, the Class
B-2, Class B-3I and Class C Certificates will also be
issued. The Class B-3I Certificates are interest-only
Certificates and the Class C Certificates (Class C

Supplement, the Class A Certificates are ERISA
eligible. No transfer of a Class M or a Class B
Certificate will be permitted to be made to any
benefit plan unless such plan delivers an opinion of
counsel to the Trustee.
SMMEA: The Class A and the Class M-1 Certificates will not
constitute "mortgage related securities" under the
Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984
("SMMEA") until such time as the amount in the
Pre-Funding Account is reduced to zero. At such time,
the Class A and Class M-1 Certificates will be "legal
investments" for certain types of institutional
investors to the extent provided in SMMEA. The Class
M-2, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates are not
SMMEA eligible.
TAX STATUS: Two separate REMIC Elections will be made with
respect to the Trust for federal income tax purposes.
OPTIONAL PURCHASE/

THE CONTRACT POOL: On the Closing Date, the Trust expects to purchase
(i) manufactured housing contracts having an
aggregate principal balance of approximately
$883,060,222.30 as of the Cut-off Date (the "Initial
Contracts") and (ii) additional manufactured housing
contracts (the "Additional Contracts").
PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT: On the Closing Date, a portion of the proceeds from
the sale of the Certificates (the "Pre-Funded
Amount") will be deposited with the Trustee in a
segregated account (the "Pre-Funding Account") and
used by the Trust to purchase additional contracts
(the "Subsequent Contracts") during a period (not
longer than 90 days) following the Closing Date (the
"Pre-Funding Period") for inclusion in the Contract
Pool. The Subsequent Contracts will not exceed 25% of
the total Contract Pool. The 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 Pre-Funding

the next succeeding paragraph) of the sum of (i)
aggregate Cut-Off Date principal balance of the
manufactured housing contracts included in the Trust
as of the Closing Date and (ii) the amount on deposit
in the Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date.
The Certificateholders will be entitled to receive
additional distributions in respect of principal on
each Remittance Date to the extent there is any
Amount Available remaining after payment of all
interest and principal on the Certificates and the
Monthly Servicing Fee to the Servicer for such
Remittance Date, until the overcollateralization
amount equals 2.0% of (i) the aggregate Cut-Off Date
principal balance of manufactured housing contracts
included in the Trust as of the Closing Date and (ii)
the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account on
the Closing Date. Such additional distributions in
respect of principal will be paid in accordance with
the distribution priorities described herein and in
the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement.
DISTRIBUTIONS: Certificateholders will be entitled to receive on
each Remittance Date commencing in September 2000, to
the extent that the Amount Available in the
Certificate Account, is sufficient therefore,
distributions allocable to interest and principal, as
described in the Prospectus Supplement. The Amount
Available on each Remittance Date generally includes
the sum of (i) payments on the Contracts due and
received during the related Due Period, (ii)
prepayments and other unscheduled collections
received during the related Due Period, and (iii) all
collections of principal on the Contracts received
during the Due Period in which such Remittance Date
occurs up to and including the third business day
prior to such Remittance Date (but in no event later
than the 25th day of the month prior to such
Remittance Date), minus (iv) with respect to all
Remittance Dates other than the Remittance Date in
September 2000, all collections in respect of
principal on the Contracts received during the
related Due Period up to and including the third
business day prior to the preceding Remittance Date
(but in no event later than the 25th day of the prior
month).
The Amount Available in the Certificate Account with
respect to any Remittance Date will be applied first
to the distribution of interest on the Class A, Class
M-1, Class M-2 and Class B-1 Certificates, and then
to the distribution of principal on the Class A,
Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B-1 Certificates, in
the manner and order of priority described below, and
then to the distribution of interest and principal on
the Class B-2 Certificates.

The "Due Period" with respect to all Remittance Dates
other than the Remittance Date in September 2000, is
the period from and including the 16th day of the
second month preceding such Remittance Date, to and
including the 15th day of the month immediately
preceding such Remittance Date.
With respect to the Remittance Date in September
2000, the Due Period is the period from and including
July 1, 2000 to and including August 15, 2000.
INTEREST ON THE
CLASS A, CLASS M-1,
CLASS M-2 AND CLASS B-1
CERTIFICATES: Interest will be distributed first to each of the
Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5
and Class A-6 Certificates, then to the Class M-1
Certificates, then to the Class M-2 Certificates and
then to the Class B-1 Certificates. Interest on the
outstanding Class A Principal Balance, Class M-1
Adjusted Principal Balance, Class M-2 Adjusted
Principal Balance, and Class B-1 Adjusted Principal
Balance, as applicable, will accrue from the Closing
Date or from the most recent Remittance Date on which
interest has been paid, to but excluding the
following Remittance Date.
Each Class of Certificates will bear interest at a
fixed Pass-Through Rate calculated on a 30/360 basis.
The "Class M-1 Adjusted Principal Balance" as of any
Remittance Date is the Class M-1 Principal Balance
less any Class M-1 Liquidation Loss Amount. The Class
M-1 Principal Balance is the Original Class M-1
Principal Balance less all amounts previously
distributed on account of principal of the Class M-1
Certificates.
The "Class M-2 Adjusted Principal Balance" as of any
Remittance Date is the Class M-2 Principal Balance
less any Class M-2 Liquidation Loss Amount. The Class
M-2 Principal Balance is the Original Class M-2
Principal Balance less all amounts previously
distributed on account of principal of the Class M-2
Certificates.
The "Class B-1 Adjusted Principal Balance" as of any
Remittance Date is the Class B-1 Principal Balance
less any Class B-1 Liquidation Loss Amount. The Class
B-1 Principal Balance is the Original Class B-1
Principal Balance less all amounts previously
distributed on account of principal of the Class B-1
Certificates.
In the event that, on a particular Remittance Date,
the Amount Available in the Certificate Account,
after payment of interest on each Class of
Certificates that is senior to such Class of
Certificates, is not sufficient to make a full
distribution of interest to the holders of such Class
of Certificates, the amount of interest to be
distributed in respect of such Class will be
allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such
Class pro rata in accordance with their respective
entitlements to interest, and the amount of the
shortfall will be carried forward and added to the
amount such holders will be entitled to receive on
the next Remittance Date. Any such amount so carried
forward will bear interest at the applicable
Remittance Rate, to the extent legally permissible.
PRINCIPAL ON THE
CLASS A, CLASS M-1,
CLASS M-2 AND CLASS B-1
CERTIFICATES: After the payment of all interest distributable to
the Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2, and Class B-1
Certificateholders, principal will be distributable
in the following manner:

(i) the Class A Principal Balance has been reduced to
zero or (ii) the Class M-1 Distribution Test is

must not exceed a certain specified percentage of the
Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, depending on the
year in which such Remittance Date occurs; (iv) the
Current Realized Loss Ratio (as defined in the
Agreement) as of such Remittance Date must not exceed
2.75%; and (v) the sum of the Class M-1 Principal

Date must be equal to or greater than 26.25%.
The Class M-2 Certificateholders will be entitled to
receive principal on each Remittance Date on which
(i) the Class A Principal Balance and Class M-1
Principal Balance have been reduced to zero or (ii)
the Class M-2 Distribution Test is satisfied.
The Class M-2 Percentage for any Remittance Date will
equal (a) zero, if the Class A Principal Balance and
Class M-1 Principal Balance have not yet been reduced
to zero and the Class M-2 Distribution Test is not
satisfied or (b) a fraction, expressed as a
percentage, the numerator of which is the Class M-2
Principal Balance as of such Remittance Date, and the

Class M-1 Principal Balance and the Class M-2
Principal Balance have not yet been reduced to zero

PURCHASE OPTION;
AUCTION SALE Commencing on the first Remittance Date when the
aggregate scheduled principal balance of the
contracts is less than or equal to 20% of the
aggregate Cut-off Date principal balance of the
contracts, the holder of the Class C Subsidiary
Certificate (see "Other Certificates" herein) will
have the right to purchase all of the outstanding
contracts, at a price sufficient to pay the aggregate
unpaid principal balance of the certificates and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
[LOGO OF MERRILL LYNCH] 7

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>
If the holder of the Class C Subsidiary Certificate
does not exercise this purchase option, then on the
next Remittance Date the trustee will begin an
auction process to sell the contracts and the other
trust assets at the highest possible price, but the
trustee cannot sell the trust assets and liquidate
the trust unless the proceeds of such sale are
sufficient to pay the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of the certificates and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon. If the first auction of the
trust property is not successful because the highest
bid received was not sufficient to pay the amount set
forth in the previous sentence, then on each
Remittance Date thereafter all of the Amount
Available remaining after payments of interest and
principal due on all Certificates and payment of the
monthly Servicing Fee will be used to make additional
payments of principal to the Class M-1, Class M-2,
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates pro rata based
on the then outstanding principal balance of such
Certificates. In addition, the trustee will continue
to conduct an auction of the contracts every third
month thereafter, until an acceptable bid is received
for the trust property. The Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder's purchase option will expire upon
the trustee's acceptance of a qualifying bid.
CLASS B-2 INTEREST: Interest on the outstanding Class B-2 Principal
Balance will accrue from the Closing Date, or from
the most recent Remittance Date on which interest has
been paid to but excluding the following Remittance
Date.
To the extent of the remaining Amount Available, if
any, for a Remittance Date after payment of all
interest and principal then payable on the Class A,
Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B-1 Certificates,
interest will be paid to the Class B-2
Certificateholders on such Remittance Date at the
Class B-2 Remittance Rate on the then outstanding
Class B-2 Principal Balance. The Class B-2 Principal
Balance is the Original Class B-2 Principal Balance
less all amounts previously distributed to the Class
B-2 Certificateholders on account of principal.
In the event that, on a particular Remittance Date,
the remaining Amount Available in the Certificate
Account plus any amounts actually paid under the
Limited Guarantee are not sufficient to make a full
distribution of interest to the Class B-2
Certificateholders, the amount of the deficiency will
be carried forward as an amount that the Class B-2
Certificateholders are entitled to receive on the
next Remittance Date. Any amount so carried forward
will, to the extent legally permissible, bear
interest at the Class B-2 Remittance Rate.
CLASS B-2 PRINCIPAL: The Class B-2 Certificateholders will be entitled to
receive principal on each Remittance Date on which
(i) the Class B-1 Principal Balance has been reduced
to zero and (ii) the Class B Distribution Test is
satisfied; provided, however, that if the Class A
Principal Balance, the Class M-1 Principal Balance,
the Class M-2 Principal Balance and the Class B-1
Principal Balance have been reduced to zero, the
Class B-2 Certificateholders will nevertheless be
entitled to receive principal. See "Description of
the Certificates--Class B-2 Principal" in the
Prospectus Supplement.
On each Remittance Date on which the Class B-2
Certificateholders are entitled to receive principal,
the Class B Percentage of the Formula Principal
Distribution Amount will be distributed, to the
extent of the remaining Amount Available after
payment of interest on the Class B-2 Certificates, to
the Class B-2 Certificateholders until the Class B-2
Principal Balance has been reduced to zero.
LOSSES ON LIQUIDATED
CONTRACTS: If Net Liquidation Proceeds from Liquidated Contracts
in the respective collection period are less than the
Scheduled Principal Balance of such Liquidated
Contracts, the shortfall amount will be absorbed by
the Class B-3I Certificateholders, then the

The attached tables and other statistical analyses (the "Term Sheet")
are privileged and confidential and are intended for use by the addressee only.
This Term Sheet is 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 nor the issuer
of the securities or any of its affiliates makes any representation as to the
accuracy or completeness of the information herein. 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 Term Sheet which may or
may not be stated therein. As such, no assurance can be given as to the
accuracy, appropriateness or completeness of the Term Sheet in any particular
context; or as to whether the Term Sheet and/or the assumptions upon which it is
based reflect present market conditions or future market performance. This Term
Sheet 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 Term Sheet 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 Term Sheet. Furthermore, unless otherwise
provided, the Term Sheet assumes no losses on the underlying assets and no
interest shortfall. The specific characteristics of the securities may differ
from those shown in the Term Sheet due to differences between the actual
underlying assets and the hypothetical assets used in preparing the Term Sheet.
The principal amount and designation of any security described in the Term Sheet
are subject to change prior to issuance.
Although a registration statement (including the prospectus) relating
to the securities discussed in this communication has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is effective, the final prospectus
supplement relating to the securities discussed in this communication has not
been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This communication shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of the securities discussed in this communication in any state
