In connection with the sale of the Series 1996-1, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates (collectively, the "Underwritten Certificates"), the Registrant has been advised by First Union Capital Markets Corp. and Lehman Brothers Inc.

The Computational Materials have been provided to the Registrant by the Underwriters. The information in the Computational Materials is preliminary and may be superseded by the final Prospectus Supplement relating to the Certificates and by any other information subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Computational Materials (other than the collateral terms sheets) were prepared by the Underwriters, based on assumptions that differ from the assumptions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. The Computational Materials may not include, and do not purport to include, information based on assumptions representing a complete set of possible scenarios. In addition, the actual characteristics and performance of the mortgage loans underlying the Underwritten Certificates (the "Mortgage Loans") may differ from the assumptions used in the Computational Materials, which are hypothetical in nature and which were provided to investors only to give a general sense of how the yield, average life, duration, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity and cash flow characteristics of a particular class of Underwritten Certificates might vary under varying prepayment and other scenarios. Any difference between such assumptions and the actual characteristics and performance of the Mortgage Loans will affect the actual yield, average life, duration, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity and cash flow characteristics of the Underwritten Certificates. 2 Item 7.
