Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. (the "Underwriter") agrees, subject to the
terms and provisions herein and of the captioned Underwriting Agreement (the
"Underwriting Agreement"), to purchase the Classes of Series 3/26/97
Certificates specified in Section 1(a) hereof (the "Offered Certificates"). This

The Series 3/26/97 Certificates are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by means of an effective Registration Statement (No. 333-6325).
Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings given them in
the Underwriting Agreement or Trust Agreement, as applicable.
Section 1. The Qualified Loan Pools: The Qualified Loan Pools
shall have the characteristics described in the Prospectus Supplement.
Section 2. The Certificates: The Offered Certificates shall be
issued as follows:
(a) Classes: The Offered Certificates shall be issued with the
following Class designations, interest rates and principal balances,
subject in the aggregate to the variance referred to in the Prospectus

(1) On each applicable Distribution Date, the Pass-Through Rate for each Class

the Net Mortgage Rates for the Qualified Loans in the related Pool. It is
expected that the Pass-Through Rates for the initial Interest Accrual
Periods on the Pool AA1007, Pool AS1008, and Pool CS1006 Certificates will
be approximately 7.739%, 7.542% and 7.192%, respectively, per annum.
(b) The Offered Certificates shall have such other characteristics
as described in the related Final Prospectus.
Section 3. Purchase Price: The Purchase Price for each Class of the
Offered Certificates shall be the Class Purchase Price Percentage therefor (as
set forth in Section 2(a) above) plus accrued interest at the applicable initial
Pass-Through Rate per annum of each such Class from and including the Cut-off
Date up to, but not including, March 26, 1997 (the "Closing Date").
In the event that proceeds to the Underwriter from its distribution of any
Class of Certificates exceed the applicable Class Purchase Price Percentage
shown above, the Purchase Price for the applicable Class of Certificates shall
be increased according to the following formula:
(a) With respect to Pool AA1007, the Purchase Price will equal (a)
the applicable Class Purchase Price Percentage set forth in Section 2(a)
above, plus (b) the difference between (i) the actual price of the
applicable Class of Certificates calculated at the spread to the then
current interpolated Treasury security yield having a remaining term to
maturity of 11.49 years and (ii) the price of such Class of Certificates
calculated at a spread of 0.80% over such interpolated Treasury security
yield, less (c) an underwriting spread of 0.375%;
(b) With respect to Pool AS1008, the Purchase Price will equal (a)
the applicable Class Purchase Price Percentage set forth in Section 2(a)
above, plus (b) the difference between (i) the actual price of the
applicable Class of Certificates calculated at the spread to the then
current interpolated Treasury security yield having a remaining term to
maturity of 12.24 years and (ii) the price of such Class of Certificates
calculated at a spread of 0.80% over such interpolated Treasury security
yield, less (c) an underwriting spread of 0.375%; and
(c) With respect to Pool AA1007, the Purchase Price will equal (a)
the applicable Class Purchase Price Percentage set forth in Section 2(a)
above, plus (b) the difference between (i) the actual price of the
applicable Class of Certificates calculated at the spread to the then
current five-year U.S. Treasury security yield and (ii) the price of such
Class of Certificates calculated at a spread of 0.60% over such Treasury
security yield, less (c) an underwriting spread of 0.25%.
In the event the Purchase Price so calculated is less than the
applicable Purchase Price Percentage set forth in Section 2(a), no
additional proceeds will be paid by the Underwriter to the Company with
respect to the relevant Class of Certificates.
Section 4. Tax Treatment: No election will be made to treat
the Trust Fund, or any portion thereof, as a REMIC.
