ARM Disclosure

Generic ARM Disclosure

INITIAL ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE LOAN (ARM) DISCLOSURE NOTICE

For All ARM Loan Products

Please Read Carefully

This disclosure notice is given to you in connection with your application for an adjustable-rate mortgage loan with DAS

Acquisition Co, LLC, and provides information that you should read. An adjustable-rate mortgage loan (“ARM”) is a type

of loan that permits changes in the loan interest rate. Such changes generally are based on changes in an index, and

normally result in an increase or decrease in the regular monthly loan payment. The purpose of this disclosure notice is to

explain the ARM program you are considering. Information on other ARM programs is available on request.

How Your Interest Rate and Payment Are Determined

Your interest rate will be based on an index rate plus a margin. The initial rate may be a discounted or premium rate. The

interest will be based on the weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of

1 year (the index), plus our margin, rounded to the nearest 0.125%. Ask us for our current interest rate, margin and

currently available discounts. Information about the index is published weekly in the “Wall Street Journal”. Since

movement of the index is usually related to market conditions that cannot be predicted, it is impossible to know in advance

exactly how much interest you will have to pay over the life of the loan. Your interest rate will equal the index plus our

margin unless your interest rate “caps” limit the amount of change in the interest rate. Your payment will be base don the

interest rate, loan balance, and loan term.

How Your Interest Rate and Monthly Payment Can Change

Your interest rate will remain fixed for an initial term, depending upon the specific ARM Program you select. After the

initial fixed rate period, your interest rate and monthly payment can change yearly thereafter (each date on which your

interest is scheduled to change is called a “Change Date”). The following are examples for each ARM Product. The initial

interest rate used in these examples is the rate available as of March 18, 2003, at 1:58 p.m.

The discounts/premiums used in these examples are discounts/premiums we have used recently; your discount/premium

may be different. These examples are based on a $10,000 loan amount. To see what your payments would be, divide

your mortgage amount by $10,000; then multiply the monthly payment used in the applicable example by that amount.

For example, the monthly payment for a mortgage amount of $60,000 would be $60,000/$10,000=6; 6X the example

payment amount + your monthly payment. Using the One-Year ARM Loan example above, the monthly payment for a

$60,000, 30-year mortgage, will be $60,000/$10,000=6; 6 X $41.49 = $248.94 per month.

You will be notified in writing at least 45 days before the annual payment adjustment may be made. This notice will

contain information about changes in the interest rate, payment amount, and loan balance.

Information about our other adjustable rate loan programs is available upon request.
