CREDIT ENHANCEMENT:                  Credit enhancement with respect to
                                     the Certificates will be provided by
                                     (a) the overcollateralization mechanics
                                     which utilize the excess interest created
                                     by the internal cashflows of the pool,
                                     and (b) the Financial Security
                                     Assurance, Inc.("FSA") Insurance Policy.

                                     Excess Spread. The weighted average Coupon
                                     Rate of the Home Equity Loans is generally
                                     expected to be higher than the sum of (a)
                                     the servicing fee, (b) the weighted average
                                     interest rate of the Bonds, (c) the trustee
                                     fee and (d) the Premium Amount.

                                     Overcollateralization: Excess spread will
                                     be applied, to the extent available, to
                                     make accelerated payments or distributions
                                     of principal to the securities then
                                     entitled to receive payments or
                                     distributions of principal; such
                                     application will cause the aggregate
                                     principal balance of the Bonds to amortize
                                     more rapidly than the Home Equity Loans,
                                     resulting in overcollateralization. Prior
                                     to the overcollateralization step down
                                     date, overcollateralization is expected to
                                     build to [2.0]% of the sum of (i) the
                                     Initial Pool Principal Balance, (ii) the
                                     Cut-off Date Principal Balance of each
                                     Subsequent Home Equity Loan and (iii) the
                                     amount, if any, on deposit in the
                                     Pre-funding Account (net of investment
                                     income) (the "Assumed Pool Principal
                                     Balance"). On or after the
                                     overcollateralization step down date,
                                     overcollateralization will be permitted to
                                     decrease to an amount equal to [4.0]% of
                                     the then outstanding aggregate unpaid
                                     principal balance of the Home Equity Loans
                                     (the "Pool Principal Balance"), subject to
                                     a floor of [0.5]% of the Assumed Pool
                                     Principal Balance.

                                     FSA Insurance Policy: FSA (the "Certificate

                                     on the Certificates (i.e. after any losses
                                     reduce the overcollateralization to zero,
                                     FSA will cover the excess, if any, of the
                                     Certificate principal balance over the
                                     aggregate collateral balance). The
                                     Insurance Policy does not guarantee the
                                     payment of A-1 coupon above the Available
                                     Funds Cap. The Insured Payments do not
                                     cover Realized Losses except to the extent
                                     that an Overcollateralization Deficit
                                     exists. Insured Payments do not cover the

                                     otherwise result therefrom. The Insurance
                                     Policy is not cancelable for any reason.

           The attached tables and other statistical analyses (the "Term

           Numerous assumptions were used in preparing the Term Sheet which may

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

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.
