     (h)  INTENT/SECURITY INTEREST. Seller and Buyer intend that the
          Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Securities
          and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased
          Securities. However, in order to preserve Buyer's rights under the
          Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the
          Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for
          Seller's performance of all of its obligations hereunder, Seller
          hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest

          escrow accounts) and any other contract rights, payments, rights to
          payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) general
          intangibles and other assets relating to the Purchased Securities
          (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in
          the Purchased Securities and any proceeds and distributions with
          respect to any of the foregoing and any other property, rights, titles
          or interests as are specified on a Transaction Notice.

          Guarantor pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller and Guarantor hereby
          covenants with the Buyer as follows:

          (i)       The Seller and Guarantor will cause the Servicer to provide
                    monthly performance reporting to the Buyer, in form
                    acceptable to the Buyer.

          (ii)      Seller will provide monthly compliance certificates to the
                    Buyer substantially in the form currently provided to U.S.
                    Bank National Association under the Underlying Credit
                    Agreement.

          (iii)     If an Event of Default has occurred and is occurring, the
                    Seller and Guarantor shall not pay any dividends or
                    distributions with respect to any capital stock or other
                    equity interests in Seller, whether now or hereafter
                    outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect
                    thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash or
                    property or in obligations of Seller.

          (iv)      Without the prior written consent of the Buyer, there shall
                    not occur any change of executive management of the Seller
                    or the Guarantor.

                         principal balance of all outstanding loans under the

          on the applicable Repurchase Date shall automatically become subject
          to a new Transaction and the Repurchase Date for such new Transaction
          shall be the immediately subsequent Repurchase Date, provided that if
          the Repurchase Date so determined is later than the Termination Date,
          the Repurchase Date for such Transaction shall automatically reset to
          the Termination Date, and the provisions of this sentence as it might
          relate to a new Transaction shall expire on such date; PROVIDED, THAT,
          the Repurchase Price paid by the Seller on each Repurchase Date, shall
          be sufficient so that the purchase price of the new Transaction
          entered into on such Repurchase Date shall equal an amount which is at
          least $2,000,000 less than the Purchase Price from the immediately
          preceding Purchase Date; PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT, the Repurchase Price
          paid by the Seller on each Repurchase Date occurring in every third
          month following the initial Purchase Date, shall be sufficient so that

          Repurchase Date shall equal an amount which is at least $9,000,000
          less than the Purchase Price from the Purchase Date occurring three
          months prior. In the event that the Seller repurchases the

          required to pay any breakage fees with respect to any such early
          repurchase.

          the other party hereto.

     (n)  Each party to this agreement (such party, "Party X") agrees that, upon
          the insolvency of Party X or any of its affiliates or the default of
          Party X or any of its affiliates under any transaction with the other
          party hereto or any of such other party's affiliates (such other party
          or any of its affiliates, a "Non-Defaulting Party"), each
          Non-Defaulting Party may, without prior notice to Party X: (a)
          liquidate any transaction between Party X and any Non-Defaulting Party
          (which liquidation may include the conversion of amounts denominated
          in multiple currencies into a single currency if deemed necessary or
          desirable by the Non-Defaulting Party), (b) reduce any amounts due and
          owing to Party X under any transaction between Party X and any
          Non-Defaulting Party by setting off against such amounts due and owing

          and all amounts due and owing to Party X under any transaction between
          Party X and any Non-Defaulting Party as security for all transactions

          the exercise of the remedies described in clauses (a), (b) and (c)
          above (or in any other similar provision in any agreement between the
          parties) shall be deemed to occur immediately subsequent to, but
          independent of, the exercise of any netting, liquidation, set-off or
          other similar provision contained in any master agreement between the
          parties; provided further that each provision and agreement hereof
          shall be treated as independent from any other provision or agreement
          herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability
          of any such other provision or agreement.

          For purposes of the foregoing, the term "affiliate" shall not include
          any entity that controls or is under common control with Salomon Smith
          Barney Holdings Inc., but in any event such term shall include Salomon
          Smith Barney Holdings Inc. and any entity controlled by it.

<PAGE>

          Clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph 2(n) shall be deemed not to
          include any references to the affiliates of the Non-Defaulting Party
          and Party X to the extent that their inclusion would prejudice the
          enforceability of this paragraph 2(n).

     (o)  In the event that the Parties enter into a hold in custody repo
          Transaction hereunder in which Salomon Brothers International Limited
          acts as the Seller, segregation of the Securities the subject of such
          repo Transaction shall take place by movement of such Securities from
          Salomon Brothers International Limited's firm account within the
          relevant settlement system to its customer account within such
          relevant settlement system. The Buyer hereby consents to such
          segregation arrangements.

     (p)  Paragraph 8 of the Agreement shall be amended by adding at the end of
          the paragraph the following paragraphs (e), (f) and (g):

          (e)  In the case of any transaction for which the Repurchase Date is
               not the Business Day immediately following the Purchase Date and
               with respect to which Seller does not have any existing right to
               vary the Transaction, Seller shall have the right (subject to the
               proviso to this sub-paragraph) by notice to Buyer (such notice to
               be given at or prior to 12 pm (London time) on that Business Day)
               to vary that Transaction in accordance with sub-paragraphs (a)
               and (b) above, provided however that Buyer may elect by close of
               business on the Business Day notice is received (or by close of
               business on the next Business Day if notice is received after 12
               pm (London time) on that day) not to vary that Transaction. If
               Buyer elects not to vary the Transaction, Seller shall have the
               right by notice to Buyer to terminate the Transaction on the
               Business Day specified in that notice, such Business Day (unless
               the parties otherwise agree) not to be later than two Business
               Days after the date of the notice.

          (f)  If Seller exercises its right to vary the Transaction or to
               terminate the Transaction under sub-paragraph (e) above,
               notwithstanding paragraph 10(h), Seller shall be required to pay
