         approximately 4.27% of the required payoff amount represents small
         ticket computer equipment typically leased to small businesses.  The
         remaining "Other" obligor category represents approximately 0.76% of
         the required payoff amount.  The depositor has not analyzed this
         category to determine whether or not the contracts included in it
         could be grouped into some other more specific type of obligor
         category.
