statements (or a

approved by the Company):
 
                  
The information in this free writing prospectus, if conveyed prior
to the time
                  
of your contractual commitment to purchase any of the Certificates,
supersedes
                  
any information contained in any prior similar materials relating
to the
     
             
Certificates.
  
The information in this free writing prospectus is preliminary,
                  
and is subject to completion or change.
  
This free writing prospectus is being
                  
delivered to you solely to provide you with information about the
offering of
                  
the Certificates referred to in this free writing prospectus and to
solicit an
                  
offer to purchase the Certificates, when, as and if issued.
  
Any such offer to
                  
purchase made by you will not be accepted and will not constitute a
                  
contractual commitment by you to purchase any of the Certificates,
until we
                  
have accepted your offer to purchase Certificates.
 
                  
The Certificates referred to in these materials are being sold
when, as and if
                  
issued.
  
The issuer is not obligated to issue such Certificates or any
similar
                  
security and the underwriter's obligation to deliver such
Certificates is
         
         
subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement
with the
                  
issuer and the availability of such Certificates when, as and if
issued by the
                  
issuer.
  
You are advised that the terms of the Certificates, and the
                  
characteristics of the mortgage loan pool backing them, may change
(due, among
                  
other things, to the possibility that mortgage loans that comprise
the pool
                  
may become delinquent or defaulted or may be removed or replaced
and that
                  
similar or different mortgage loans may be added to the pool, and
that one or
                  
more classes of Certificates may be split, combined or eliminated),
at any
                  
time prior to issuance or availability of a final prospectus.
  
You are advised
                  
that Certificates may not be issued that have the characteristics
described in
                  
these materials.
  
The underwriter's obligation to sell such Certificates to
                  
you is conditioned on the mortgage loans and Certificates having
the
                  
characteristics described in these materials.
  
If
  
for any reason the issuer
                  
does not deliver such Certificates, the underwriter will notify
you, and
                  
neither the issuer nor any underwriter will have any obligation to
you to
                  
deliver all or any portion of the Certificates which you have
committed to
                  
purchase, and none of the issuer nor any underwriter will be liable
for any
                  
costs or damages whatsoever arising from or related to such
non-delivery.
 
4.3
      
It is
  
understood
  
that you will not enter into a Contract of Sale with any
  
investor
  
until the
  
Approved
Offering

have been conveyed to the investor with respect to the
  
Certificates
  
which are the subject of
