     BRAVO Trust Series 1997-1 (the "Trust") is a newly organized Delaware
business trust, created pursuant to a declaration of trust and trust
agreement (the "Trust Agreement") between The Bank of New York, as trustee
(the "Trustee"), and the Owners (as defined below) of the Trust Certificates
(the "Trust Certificates"). The Trust will issue $500,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Trust Certificates on the date hereof, which will
represent two classes of undivided interests in the Trust. The two classes
are designated "Class A Trust Certificates" and "Class B Trust Certificates"
and are referred to collectively herein as "Trust Certificates". Only the
Class A Trust Certificates, in the principal amount of $450,000,000, are
being offered hereby. The Class A Trust Certificates are issued in minimum
denominations of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
thereof. As described below, the Class B Trust Certificates are subordinated
to the Class A Trust Certificates.

     In connection with the sale of the Trust Certificates, the Trust will
purchase an insurance company separate account group annuity contract (the
"Funding Agreement") issued by Integrity Life Insurance Company ("Integrity").
Integrity will maintain, in custody for the benefit of the Trust, separate
account assets with a market value (based on a weekly valuation by First Trust
National Association, as custodian) at least equal to 102% of the principal
amount and accrued interest of the Trust Certificates (the "Separate Account
Assets"). Such assets will be acquired pursuant to investment guidelines more
fully described herein. See "The Trust Assets -- Custodial Accounts".

     As described under "The Trust Certificates", beneficial owners of the Class
A Trust Certificates (the "Class A Owners") will be entitled to receive periodic
interest payments and a return of principal at maturity. Beneficial owners of
Class B Trust Certificates (the "Class B Owners" and, collectively with the
Class A Owners, the "Owners") will be entitled to receive, on a similar payment
schedule, the assets of the Trust that remain after payment of all amounts owed
to the Class A Owners and all expenses of the Trust not paid by a third party.

     Unless the maturity date is extended as provided below, the principal
amount of Class A Trust Certificates will be payable to the Class A Owners on
October 15, 1998. Funds necessary to make such payments will be made available
through liquidation of the Separate Account Assets. Under certain circumstances
as described herein, Class A Owners may be offered the opportunity to extend the
maturity date applicable to their Class A Trust Certificates for designated
periods of up to 360 days. In such event, all, but not less than all, of the
Class A Owners who do not elect to extend such maturity date will be offered for
sale in a remarketing process. Class A Trust Certificates not sold in the
remarketing are required to be purchased by Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale,
New York Branch ("BLB") under its liquidity facility, provided that BLB has not
terminated the liquidity facility. The liquidity facility may be terminated by
BLB upon 10 days' notice upon the occurrence of certain events, including
receivership of, or rehabilitation or liquidation proceedings involving,
Integrity or the failure of the Trust to make payment when due to Owners.
Following any such termination there will be no extension elections or
remarketings of the Class A Trust Certificates and amounts payable under the
Funding Agreement will be the sole source of payment of the Class A Trust
Certificates. All payments on the Class B Trust Certificates are subordinated to
the prior payment in full of all amounts then due and owing on the Class A Trust
Certificates.

may also be delivered in connection with a remarketing of Class A Trust
Certificates conducted through Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman Brothers", the
"Dealer" or the "Remarketing Agent").

                              LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the
                              offered rate for deposits for U.S. Dollars for a
                              period of three months (the "Index Maturity"),
                              which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of

                              the purpose of displaying London interbank
                              offered rates of major banks).

                              (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination
                              Date on which no such offered rate appears on
                              Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR for the next Reset Date
                              (as defined below) shall be reasonably determined
                              by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean
                              (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest one
                              hundredth of a percentage point) of the rates
                              quoted at approximately 11.00 a.m., London time,
                              on such date, by four major banks in the London
                              interbank market, selected by the Calculation
                              Agent, to prime banks in the London interbank
                              market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits of not

                              request the principal London office of each of
                              such four major banks to provide a quotation of
                              its rate; provided further, that, if at least two
                              such quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the
                              arithmetic mean of such quotations, and, if fewer
                              than two quotations are provided as requested,
                              LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the rates
                              quoted by major banks in New York City, selected
                              by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00

                              U.S. $100,000,000.

                              Payments will be made in immediately available
                              funds by wire transfer to an account designated by
                              the relevant Owner to the Trustee at least ten

                              the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date,
                              as the case may be. There can be no assurance that
                              the Market Agent will select an Extended Maturity
                              Date. If the Market Agent so selects an Extended
                              Maturity Date, the Market Agent will fix (A) the
                              interest rate applicable to the Class A Trust

                              the Payment Dates applicable to the Class A Trust
                              Certificates until the Extended Maturity Date,
                              (C) the Reset Dates applicable to the Class A
                              Trust Certificates until the Extended Maturity
                              Date, (D) the Interest Determination Dates
                              applicable to the Class A Trust Certificates
                              until the Extended Maturity Date, (E) the Business
                              Day Convention applicable to the Class A Trust
                              Certificates until the Extended Maturity Date, and
                              (F) any other variable terms applicable to the
                              Class A Trust Certificates until the Extended
                              Maturity Date and will give the Trustee notice in
                              sufficient time for Owners to be notified, not
                              less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date or
                              relevant Extended Maturity Date, as the case may
                              be, as to what the Extended Maturity Date will be
                              and the terms applicable to the Class A Trust
                              Certificates until such Extended Maturity Date.
                              Each Class A Owner will then have the option (the
                              "Extension Option"), exercisable no fewer than 20
                              days prior to the Maturity Date or the Extended
                              Maturity Date, as applicable, to have the Maturity
                              Date of all but not less than all of such Owner's

                              terms determined as described above. The maturity
                              date of the Class B Trust Certificates will always
                              be the same as that of the Class A Trust
                              Certificates.

                              If a Class A Owner chooses not to exercise the
                              Extension Option, such Owner will be entitled to
                              receive payment in full of the Principal Amount of
                              the related Class A Trust Certificates on the next
                              scheduled Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date,
                              as applicable, (i) from proceeds received by the
                              Trustee from the Remarketing Agent (as such term
                              is defined below) pursuant to a reoffering of all
                              or a portion of such Class A Trust Certificates,
                              (ii) from proceeds received by the Trustee from

                              of the Liquidity Agreement, or (iii) if the
                              Liquidity Provider is not obligated to purchase
                              such Class A Trust Certificates, from amounts
                              received by the Trustee under the Funding
                              Agreement.

REMARKETING
PROCESS:                      Under the Remarketing Agreement between the Trust
                              and Lehman Brothers, Lehman Brothers has agreed to
                              act as remarketing agent (the "Remarketing Agent")
                              with respect to any Class A Trust Certificate with
                              respect to which a Class A Owner has not exercised
                              an Extension Option. On the next Scheduled
                              Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date, as the
                              case may be, each person purchasing Class A Trust
                              Certificates as a result of a remarketing shall
                              pay the purchase price to the Remarketing Agent,
                              which will pay such amounts as are payable to
                              Owners that have sold their Trust Certificates in
                              such remarketing. Neither the Trust nor the

                              remarketing shall take place if such remarketing
                              would require that the Trust be registered
                              pursuant to the Investment Company Act or that any
                              Trust Certificates be registered pursuant to the

                              Class A Trust Certificates are tendered for
                              purchase at the time an Extension Option is

                              purchased by the Remarketing Agent, such
                              Certificates will be required to be purchased by
                              the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the Liquidity
                              Agreement (or, if such Agreement has been
                              terminated, will be paid by the Trust with funds
                              received under the Funding Agreement). Lehman

                              Remarketing Agent will be paid by the Trust, but
                              will be subordinate in priority to the payment of
                              the fees of the Trustee, the fees of Signet Trust
                              Company, which will hold the Funding Agreement in
                              custody for the Trust, and amounts due to the
                              Owners of Class A Trust Certificates.

TRANSFERS TO
ERISA PURCHASERS:             Transfers to ERISA plans are permitted pursuant to
                              the Trust Agreement.

                              The issuer of the Funding Agreement and its
                              affiliates, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider,
                              the Dealer and the Remarketing Agent are each in
                              the business of providing services to benefit
                              plans and others and thus such organizations may
                              be, or may become, a party in interest as to many
                              employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. In
                              addition, the plans purchasing Class A Trust
                              Certificates may be deemed to have entered into a
                              lending or other transaction with Bayerische
                              Landesbank Girozentrale, as Class B Owner.
                              Therefore, fiduciaries considering the purchase of
                              Trust Certificates on behalf of a benefit plan
                              should determine if the acquisition and holding of
                              Trust Certificates is in compliance with ERISA and
                              related provisions of the Code.

                              Additionally, each ERISA benefit plan acquiring an
                              interest in Trust Certificates must make its own
                              determination that the acquisition of the Trust
                              Certificates or an interest in a financial
                              instrument similar to the Funding Agreement is
                              permitted under such plan's constituent documents
                              and related policies.

                              the Trust to invoke the process of any court or

                              and the Custodian (the "Custody Agreement") to
                              support the Funding Agreement (although under Ohio
                              law, which governs the Funding Agreement, the
                              Insurer will continue to own the assets in the
                              Accounts). These two Accounts are required at all
                              times (subject to minimum adjustments of $1
                              million) to contain cash, securities and other
                              financial instruments having a market value equal
                              to at least 102% of the unpaid principal amount of
                              the Funding Agreement plus accrued and unpaid
                              interest thereon (that is, $510 million plus 102%
                              of accrued interest). The assets in the Accounts
                              will be actively managed by the Insurer or an
                              affiliate thereof pursuant to investment
                              guidelines attached to the Custody Agreement as an
                              annex and summarized below. The Accounts will be
                              marked to market on a weekly basis, and the
                              Insurer will, within one business day after being
                              notified that the market value has fallen below
                              the required 102% level by $1 million or more, be
                              required under the terms of the Funding Agreement
                              to add to the Accounts sufficient assets to
                              eliminate any such deficit. There can be no
                              assurance that such active management will not
                              result in losses or that the Insurer will
                              contribute additional funds in connection
                              therewith.

                              Amounts contributed by the Insurer (a) on the
                              Effective Date, to the extent that such amounts
                              exceed $500 million, or (b) after the Effective
                              Date to maintain such 102% market value, if any,
                              may be subject to recovery as "fraudulent
                              transfers" or "voidable preferences" by creditors
                              of the Insurer in the event the Insurer becomes
                              subject to seizure or receivership by its
                              domiciliary state insurance department or
                              rehabilitation or liquidation proceedings. The
                              total contributions made by the Insurer after the
                              Effective Date (which may be subject to recovery
                              by creditors under the foregoing circumstances)
                              could be substantially more than the 2% required
                              over-collateralization. Repayment of the entire
                              $50 million principal amount of Class B Trust
                              Certificates, as well as any other assets of the
                              Trust to which such Class is otherwise entitled,
                              is subordinated to payment in full of principal of
                              the Class A Trust Certificates and interest
                              accrued thereon.

                              In order to maintain the highest ratings granted
                              to short-term securities with respect to the Class
                              A Trust Certificates, the Custody Agreement
                              provides that assets in the Accounts will be
                              invested pursuant to investment criteria
                              summarized below:

                              (1) the average effective duration of the
                              portfolio cannot exceed 1.75 years;
                              (2) the average credit quality of the portfolio
                              cannot be less than AA/NAIC "1";

                              (3) the portfolio cannot contain investments in
                              real estate, direct commercial mortgages, common
                              stocks, leveraged futures or other
                              leveraged/speculative derivatives; and
                              (4) any derivative position must be used for
                              hedging only and must result in the portfolio
                              still being in compliance with all other
                              investment guidelines.

Except as set forth in the following two paragraphs, this Offering Circular
Supplement does not provide information with respect to the Insurer. No
investigation has been made of the financial condition or creditworthiness of
the Insurer or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the issuance of the
Trust Certificates. An investor in the Trust Certificates should obtain and
evaluate the same information concerning the Insurer as such investor would if
it were investing directly in the Funding Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF INSURER: The Insurer is an Ohio stock life insurance company
licensed to sell life insurance and annuities in 45 states and the District of
Columbia. All of the Insurer's outstanding shares are owned by Integrity
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation that is in turn 100% owned by ARM
Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"). The Insurer
provides retail, fixed, indexed and variable annuities and institutional
guaranteed investment contracts. The Insurer prepares financial statements in
accordance with statutory accounting principles applicable to it for each year
ending December 31 and files such financial statements with the state insurance
regulator of Ohio (the "Ohio Department"), its state of domicile. The Ohio
Department has established procedures pursuant to which copies of such financial
statements may be obtained. A copy of such procedures may be requested from the
Ohio Department by sending a written request to the Financial Regulation
Services Division of the Ohio Department of Insurance at 2100 Stella Court,
Columbus, Ohio 43215-1067. The Corporation is not responsible with respect to
any payment due under the Trust Certificates.

DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATION: ARM Financial Group Inc. is subject to the
informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith files reports, proxy
statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission"). Such reports, proxy statements and other information can be

                                LIQUIDITY AGREEMENT

     On or prior to the Issue Date, the Trust will enter into a Standby Trust
Certificate Purchase Agreement (the "Liquidity Agreement") with the Bank.
Subject to certain conditions, the Liquidity Agreement will provide for the
purchase of the Class A Trust Certificates that are subject to an Extension
Option that has not been exercised by the relevant Owners and have been
delivered to the Remarketing Agent but are not successfully remarketed by the
Remarketing Agent for the account of such Owners. Payments to purchase the Class
A Trust Certificates pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement will be made by the
Bank to the Remarketing Agent. The price to be paid by the Bank pursuant to the
Liquidity Agreement for the purchase of Class A Trust Certificates will be equal
to the aggregate principal amount of such Class A Trust Certificates. Upon any
purchase of Class A Trust Certificates pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement, the
commitment of the Bank to purchase Trust Certificates will be reduced by the
purchase price and will be reinstated upon the resale of such Trust Certificates
by the Bank. The Liquidity Agreement will expire on November 20, 1998 (360 days
from closing), unless sooner terminated as the result of an event of default or
a voluntary termination by the Bank. See "Events of Default" and "Voluntary
Termination by the Bank" below. If such Agreement has not been so terminated by
November 20, 1998, such termination date will be extended on a daily basis until
the earliest to occur of (a) termination of the Liquidity Agreement, either as
the result of an event of default or voluntarily, (b) the date on which no Class
A Trust Certificates are outstanding, or (c) October 15, 2007.

UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED BELOW THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BANK TO
PURCHASE CLASS A TRUST CERTIFICATES MAY BE TERMINATED.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     The occurrence of certain events of default under the Liquidity Agreement
will entitle the Bank to terminate or suspend its obligation under the Liquidity
Agreement. Events of default under the Liquidity Agreement include: (i) the
Insurer becomes subject to seizure, receivership, rehabilitation or liquidation
proceedings or conservatorship or similar proceedings; (ii) failure of the
Insurer to pay any principal or interest owed by it under the Funding Agreement;
(iii) the Bank has owned more than $45 million of the Class A Trust Certificates
for at least 360 consecutive days and has given notice to the Custodian, the
Insurer and the Rating Agencies of the Bank's desire to terminate its
obligations under the Liquidity Agreement; or (iv) the failure of the Trust to
make a payment when due to Owners.

     If an event of default shall occur under the Liquidity Agreement and be
continuing for 10 days, the Bank may terminate its obligation to purchase Class
A Trust Certificates by giving written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the
Insurer), and the Bank will be under no further obligation to purchase Class A
Trust Certificates.

VOLUNTARY TERMINATION BY THE BANK

     The Bank may terminate the Liquidity Agreement at any time upon giving at
least 360 days' notice to the Trustee and the Insurer.

THE BANK

     Except as set forth in the following three paragraphs, this Offering
Circular Supplement does not provide information with respect to the Bank. No
investigation has been made of the financial condition or creditworthiness of
the Bank. An investor in the Trust Certificates should review carefully the
disclosure with respect to the Liquidity Agreement contained herein and make its
own credit evaluation of the Bank.

     Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale ("BLB") was incorporated as a public law
financial institution (Rechtsfaehige Anstalt des Oeffentlichen Rechts) by the
Law Establishing Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale (Gesetz ueber die Errichtung
der Bayerischen Landesbank Girozentrale) of June 27, 1972, as amended, as
adopted by the Parliament of the Free State of Bavaria, and is subject to the
German Federal Banking Act of July 10, 1961, as amended (Gesetz ueber das
Kreditwesen) (the "Federal Banking Act"). Its statutes authorize the Bank to
provide universal financial services including both commercial and investment
banking as well as brokerage activities. The Free State of Bavaria owns 50% of
the Bank's share capital, the other 50% being owned by the Bavarian Savings

                     CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The following is a general summary of certain federal income tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Trust
Certificates. The summary does not purport to deal with federal income tax
consequences applicable to all categories of the Owners, some of which may be
subject to special rules. For example, it does not discuss the tax treatment of
the Owners that are insurance companies, regulated investment companies or
dealers in securities. The following summary also only addresses U.S. Owners (as
defined below) who purchase Trust Certificates in connection with the original
issuance thereof. Moreover, there are no cases or Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") rulings on similar transactions to the terms of the Trust and the
issuance of the Trust Certificates. As a result, the IRS may disagree with all
or a part of the discussion below. Prospective investors are urged to consult
their own tax advisors in determining the federal, state, local, foreign and any
other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
Trust Certificates.

     The following summary is based upon current provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder and judicial or ruling authority, all of which are
subject to change, which change may be retroactive. The Trust will be provided
with an opinion of Brown & Wood LLP, special Federal tax counsel to the Trust
("Federal Tax Counsel"), regarding certain federal income tax matters discussed
below. An opinion of Federal Tax Counsel, however, is not binding on the IRS or
the courts. No ruling on any of the issues discussed below will be sought from
the IRS. For purposes of the following summary, references to the Trust, the
Trust Certificates and related terms, parties and documents shall be deemed to
refer, unless otherwise specified herein, to the Trust, the Trust Certificates
and related terms, parties and documents applicable to such Trust.

     As used herein, the term "U.S. Owner" means a beneficial owner of Trust
Certificates that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) a citizen or
resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, a partnership or other entity
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United
States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), (iii) an estate the
income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its
source, or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United
States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
Trust. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent provided in
Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996, and
treated as United States persons prior to such date, that elect to continue to
be treated as United States persons also will be a U.S. Owner.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no resale or
other transfer of a Trust Certificate or any interest therein shall be made
unless (1) immediately after giving effect to such resale or other transfer,
there would be no more than 100 Owners of Trust Certificates and (2) if the
transferee (or any person or entity for whom such transferee is acting as
agent or custodian in connection with the acquisition of such Trust
Certificate) is a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for federal
income tax purposes (a "Flow Through Entity"), any Trust Certificates owned
by or on behalf of such Flow Through Entity will represent less than 50% of
the value of all the assets owned by or on behalf of such Flow Through Entity.

     CLASSIFICATION OF THE TRUST ASSETS. The Trust Assets will consist of a
$500,000,000 Integrity Life Insurance Company Separate Account Group Annuity
Contract (the "Funding Agreement"). Davis & Harman, special tax counsel to the
Insurer, has rendered an opinion generally to the effect that the Funding
Agreement will be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The following discussion, as well as the opinion to be provided to the Trust by
Federal Tax Counsel, is based upon and relies upon the opinion of Davis & Harman
concerning the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Funding Agreement. If
the Funding Agreement is not ultimately treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, then the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the
purchase, ownership and disposition of the Trust Certificates could differ in
various respects from the consequences described below.

     TREATMENT OF THE TRUST AS A PARTNERSHIP. The Trustee has agreed, and the
Owners will agree by their purchase of Trust Certificates, to treat the Trust as
a partnership for purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and
any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, with the assets of the
partnership being the assets held by the Trust and the partners of the
partnership being the Owners. In the opinion of Federal Tax Counsel, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be classified as a partnership and
not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.
Moreover, the Trustee has agreed, and the Owners will agree by their purchase of
the Trust Certificates, to elect under Section 761 (a) of the Code to exclude
the Trust from the provisions of subchapter K of the Code (the "Election"). In
most respects, the Election will cause the Owners of the Trust Certificates to
be taxed as co-owners of their respective interest in the Funding Agreement,
rather than as partners. As a result of the Election,


                                       17
<PAGE>

each Owner will be required to take into account directly for U.S. federal
income tax purposes in accordance with such Owner's own tax accounting method
such Owner's income realized and recognized with respect to its interest in the
Funding Agreement and such Owner's expenses paid or incurred with respect to
such Owner's interest, and each Owner will receive a tax information report
(and, if required, IRS Form 1099) showing its share of income received by the
Trust for the year rather than a partnership Form K-1. The Election will not
cause the Trust to cease to be a partnership of all purposes of the Code.

     The Code and the regulations thereunder impose a number of conditions and
qualifications on the right to make the Election. The Election has not been
frequently used outside the oil and gas area, and there is little authority
relating to its use by an asset repackaging vehicle such as the arrangement
among the Owners of the Trust Certificates evidenced hereby. The Election is
permitted only if the income of the members may be adequately determined
"without the necessity of computing partnership taxable income". It is unclear
whether, or under what circumstances, this test will be satisfied. If, upon
audit, the IRS were successfully to assert that the Election was not available
or not properly made, certain penalties (resulting from the failure to file
partnership returns) could be imposed if it were determined that the failure to
file was not due to reasonable cause. In addition, the imposition of the rules
of Subchapter K to the Owners would require the tax partnership to utilize a
partnership taxable year for reporting purposes, which could have the effect of
shifting income and expense items into different taxable years for the Owners.
Although there is no authority directly on point, Federal Tax Counsel believes
there is reasonable basis for the tax partnership evidenced by the Trust
Certificates not to file partnership returns for U.S. federal income tax
purposes after making the Election.

     DISPOSITION OF CERTIFICATES. In general, capital gain or loss will be
recognized on a sale of Trust Certificates in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount realized and the Owner's tax basis in the Trust Certificates
sold. An Owner's tax basis in a Trust Certificate will generally equal the
Owner's cost increased by the Owner's share of Trust income (includible in such
Owner's income) and decreased by any distributions received with respect to such
Trust Certificate. In addition, both the tax basis in the Trust Certificates and
the amount realized on a sale of a Trust Certificate would include the Owner's
share of any liabilities of the Trust. An Owner acquiring Trust Certificates at
different prices may be required to maintain a single aggregate adjusted tax
basis in such Trust Certificates and, upon sale or other disposition of some of
the Trust Certificates, allocate a portion of such aggregate tax basis to the
Trust Certificates sold (rather than maintaining a separate tax basis in each
Trust Certificate for purposes of computing gain or loss on a sale of that Trust
Certificate).

     If an Owner is required to recognize an aggregate amount of income over the
life of the Trust Certificates that exceeds the aggregate cash distributions
with respect thereto (which is not expected to be the case), such excess will
generally give rise to a capital loss upon the retirement of the Trust
Certificates.

     UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME. Income from the Trust Certificates may
constitute "unrelated business taxable income" within the meaning of Section
512(a)(1) of the Code. Prospective investors in the Trust Certificates should
consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

     ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS. The Trustee is required to keep or have kept
complete and accurate books of the Trust. Such books will be maintained for
financial reporting and tax purposes, and the fiscal year of the Trust will be
the calendar year. Each year, the Trustee will report or cause to be reported
each registered owner's allocable share of items of Trust income and expense to
registered owner's and the IRS. The Trust will provide or cause to be provided
this information to nominees, and such nominees will be required to forward such
information to the Owners of the Trust Certificates. Generally, the Owners must
file tax returns that are consistent with the information return filed by the
Trust or be subject to penalties unless the Owner notifies the IRS of all such
inconsistencies.

     Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale, acting through whichever branch thereof
is acting as the Owner of the Class B Trust Certificates, will be designated as
the tax matters partner in the Trust Agreement and, as such, will be responsible
for representing the Owners of the Trust Certificates in any dispute with the
IRS. The Code provides for administrative examination of a partnership as if the
partnership were a separate and distinct taxpayer. Generally, the statute of
limitations for partnership items does not expire before three years after the
date on which the partnership information return is filed. Any adverse
determination following an audit of the return of the Trust by the appropriate
taxing authorities could result in an adjustment of the returns of the Owners
and, under certain circumstances, an Owner may be precluded from separately
litigating a proposed adjustment to the items of the Trust. An adjustment could
also result in an audit of an Owner's returns and adjustments of items not
related to the income and losses of the Trust.


                                       18
<PAGE>

     BACKUP WITHHOLDING. Distributions made on the Trust Certificates and
proceeds from the sale of the Trust Certificates will be subject to a "backup"
withholding tax of 31% if, in general, the Owner fails to comply with certain
identification procedures, unless the Owner is an exempt recipient under
applicable provisions of the Code. On October 6, 1997, the Treasury Department
issued new regulations (the "New Regulations") which make certain modifications
to these backup withholding and information reporting rules. The New Regulations
attempt to unify certification requirements and modify reliance standards. The
New Regulations will generally be effective for payments made after December 31,
1998, subject to certain transition rules. Prospective investors are urged to
consult their own tax advisors regarding the New Regulations.

                                      ERISA

     The issuer of the Funding Agreement and certain of its affiliates, the
Trustee, the Bank, the Dealer and the Remarketing Agent are each in the business
of providing services to benefit plans and others and thus such organizations
may be, or may become, a party in interest as to many employee benefit plans
subject to ERISA. In addition, the plans purchasing Class A Trust Certificates
may be deemed to have entered into a lending or other transaction with
Bayerische Landesbank Girozentrale, as the Class B Owner. Therefore, fiduciaries
considering the purchase of Trust Certificates on behalf of a benefit plan
should determine if the acquisition and holding of Trust Certificates is in
compliance with ERISA and related provisions of the Code. The U.S. Department of
Labor (the "DOL") has issued several class exemptions that may afford exemptive
relief for otherwise prohibited transactions arising from the purchase or
holding of the Trust Certificates. Included among these exemptions are:
Prohibited Class Transaction Exemptions 84-14 (Class Exemption for Plan Asset
Transactions Determined by Independent Qualified Professional Asset Managers),
95-60 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving Insurance Company
General Accounts), 91-38 (Class Exemption for Certain Transactions Involving
Bank Collective Investment Funds), 90-1 (Class Exemption for Certain
Transactions Involving Insurance Company Pooled Separate Accounts), and 96-23
(Class Exemption for Plan Asset Transactions Determined by In-House Investment
Managers).

     Additionally, each ERISA benefit plan acquiring an interest in Trust
Certificates must make its own determination that the acquisition of the Trust
Certificates or an interest in a financial instrument similar to the Funding
Agreement is permitted under such plan's constituent documents and related
policies.
