The exact solution via Bethe's ansatz to a model consisting of two parabolic bands of electrons with local attractive and repulsive interactions is presented. Some low-temperature properties of this model are discussed as a function of the interaction strength, a magnetic field, and the crystal-field splitting between the bands. The attractive interaction leads to Cooper-pair-like bound states and a threshold magnetic field is required to overcome the binding energy. The low-{ital T} specific heat is proportional to {ital T}, except at critical points where {ital C}{proportional to}{ital T}{sup 1/2}.
