                           MASTER AGREEMENT

                     dated as of October 15, 1998

SUNTRUST BANK, ATLANTA and PAMECO CORPORATION
----------------------     ------------------
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions
(each a "Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master
Agreement, which includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the
documents and other confirming evidence (each a "Confirmation")
exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:--

1.   Interpretation

(a)  DEFINITIONS.  The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule
will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this
Master Agreement.

(b)  INCONSISTENCY.  In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master
Agreement, the Schedule will prevail.  In the event of any
inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this
Mater Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will
prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

(c)  SINGLE AGREEMENT.  All Transactions are entered into in reliance
on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form  a
single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this
"Agreement"), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any
Transactions.

2.   Obligations.

(a)  GENERAL CONDITIONS.

     (i)  Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in
     each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other
     provisions of this Agreement.

     (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the date due
     for value on that date in the place of the account specified in
     the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this
     Agreement in freely transferable funds and in the manner
     customary for payments in the required currency.  Where
     settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such
     delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner
     customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified
     in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

     (iii)  Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is
     subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default
     or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has
     occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no
     Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has
     occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other<PAGE>
     applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b)  CHANGE OF ACCOUNT.  Either party may change its account for
receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at
least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the
payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other
party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.

(c)  NETTING.  If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--

     (i)  in the same currency; and
     (ii) in respect of the same Transaction.

by each party to the other, on such date, each party's obligation to
make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and
discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been
payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise
have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon
the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable
to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount
over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a
net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the
same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions,
regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same
Transaction.  The election may be made in the Schedule or a
Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not
apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above
will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such
date).  This election may be made separately for different groups of
Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices
through which the parties make and received payments or deliveries.

(d)  DEDUCTION OR WITHHOLDING FOR TAX.

     (i)  GROSS-UP.   All payments under this Agreement will be made
     without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax
     unless such deduction or withholding is required by any
     applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant
     government revenue authority, then in effect.  If a party is so
     required to deduct or withhold, then that party ("X") will:--

          (1)  promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such
          requirement;

          (2)  pay to the relevant authorities the full amount
          required to be deducted or withheld (including the full
          amount required to be deducted or withheld from any
          additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)
          promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction
          or withholding is required or receiving notice that such
          amount has been assessed against Y:

          (3)  promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a
          certified copy), or other documentation reasonably
          acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such
          authorities; and

          (4)  if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in
          addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled
          under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary
          to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free
          and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X<PAGE>
          or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had
          no such deduction or withholding been required.  However, X
          will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to
          the extent that it would not be required to be paid but
          for:--

            (A)  the failure by Y to comply with or perform any
            agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or
            4(d); or

            (B)  the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant
            to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such
            failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action
            taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of
            competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a
            Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such
            action is taken or brought with respect to a party to
            this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

                                   2<PAGE>
     (ii) LIABILITY.  If.--

          (1)  X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the
          practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to
          make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X
          would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under
          Section 2(d)(i)(4);

          (2)  X does not so deduct or withhold; and

          (3)  a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed
          directly against X.

     then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the
liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount
of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but
including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to
comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(iii)
or 4(d)).

(e)  DEFAULT INTEREST; OTHER AMOUNTS.  Prior to the occurrence or
effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the
relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of
any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and
subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well
as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand
in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the
date of actual payment, at the Default Rate.  Such interest will be
calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of
days elapsed.  If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of
an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a
party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be
settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if
and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or
elsewhere in this Agreement.

3.   REPRESENTATIONS

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will
be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a
Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in
Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement)
that:--

(a)  BASIC REPRESENTATIONS.

     Support Document to which it is a party and has taken all
     necessary action to authorise such execution, delivery and
     performance;

     account of any Tax or with such deduction or withholding at a<PAGE>
     reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission

     manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be

          winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such
          proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it,
          such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of

(b)  TERMINATION EVENTS.  The occurrence at any time with respect to a
party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below
constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a ax
Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon
Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to

                                   6
<PAGE>
be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified
pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event
is specified pursuant to (v) below: --

     (i)  ILLEGALITY.  Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any
     applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered
     into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the
     interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority
     with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such
     date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by
     the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the
     Affected Party): --

          (1)  to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to
          make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or
          delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with
          any other material provision of this Agreement relating to
          such Transaction; or

          (2)  to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such
          party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which
          the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any
          Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

     (ii) TAX EVENT.  Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing
     authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or
     after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless
     of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a
     party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party
     (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a
     substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding
     Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party
     an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under
     Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section
     2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an
     amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account
     of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e),
     6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid
     in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than be
     reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

     (iii)     TAX EVENT UPON MERGER.  The party (the "Burdened
     Party") on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either
     (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an
     Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of
     interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a
     payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or
     on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other
     party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by
     reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a
     result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging
     with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets
     to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such
     action does not constitute an event described in Section
     5(a)(viii);

     (iv) CREDIT EVENT UPON MERGER.  If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is
     specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party
     ("X"), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable
     Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges
     with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets
     to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event
     described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the
     resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker
<PAGE>
     than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified
     Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
     (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as
     appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or

     (v)  ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT.  If any "Additional
     Termination Event" is specified in the Schedule or any
     Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in
     such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as
     specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule
     or such Confirmation).

(c)  EVENT OF DEFAULT AND ILLEGALITY.  If an event or circumstance
which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default
also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality
and will not constitute an Event of Default.

                                   7
<PAGE>
6.   EARLY TERMINATION

(a)  RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING EVENT OF DEFAULT.  If at any time an
Event of Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has
occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting
Party") may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party
specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier
than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in
respect of all outstanding Transactions.  If, however, "Automatic
Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect
to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section
5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8),
and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the
relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon
the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto,
(8).

(b)  RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING TERMINATION EVENT.

     (i)  NOTICE.  If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party
     will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party,
     specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected
     Transaction and will also give such other information about that
     Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.

     (ii) TRANSFER TO AVOID TERMINATION EVENT.  If either an
     Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and
     there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger
     occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected
     Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early
     Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable
     efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss,
     excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20
     days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights
     and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected
     Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such
     Termination Event ceases to exist.

     If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will
     give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day
     period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer
     within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

     Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be
     subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the
     other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other
     party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter
     into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.

     (iii)     TWO AFFECTED PARTIES.  If an Illegality under Section
     5(b)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties,
     each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement
     within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section
     6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.

     (iv) RIGHT TO TERMINATE.  If: 

          (1)  a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under
          Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected
          with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days
          after an Affected party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i);
          or<PAGE>
          (2)  an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event
          Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax
          Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the
          Affected Party,

     either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in
     the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the
     case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there
     is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the
     Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an
     Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party
     may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and
     provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing,
     designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective
     as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
     Transactions.

                                   8<PAGE>
(c)  EFFECT OF DESIGNATION.

     (i)  If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given
     under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur
     on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of
     Default or Termination Event is then continuing.

     (ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early
     Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section
     2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be
     required to be made, but without prejudice to the other
     provisions of this Agreement.  The amount, if any, payable in
     respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant
     to Section 6(e).

(d)  CALCULATIONS.

     (i)  STATEMENT.  On or as soon as reasonably practicable
     following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party
     will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by
     Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1)
     showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all
     relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under
     Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to
     which any amount payable to it is to be paid.  In the absence of
     written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in
     determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party
     obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the
     existence and accuracy of such quotation.

     (ii) PAYMENT DATE.  An amount calculated as being due in respect
     of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable
     on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the
     case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs
     as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two
     Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount
     payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date
     which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).  Such
     amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
     applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after
     judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the
     relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such
     amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate.  Such interest will be
     calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual
     number of days elapsed.

(e)  PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION.  If an Early Termination Date
occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties'
election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market
Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method, either the "First Method"
or the "Second Method".  If the parties fail to designate a payment
measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that
"Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall
apply.  The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination
Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any
Set-off.

     (i)  EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  If the Early Termination Date results
from an Event of Default: 

          (1)  FIRST METHOD AND MARKET QUOTATION.  If the First Method
          and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to
          the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number,
          of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the
          Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated
          Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the
          Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B)
          the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts
          owing to the Defaulting Party.

          (2)  FIRST METHOD AND LOSS.  If the First Method and Loss
          apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting
          Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss
          in respect of this Agreement.

          (3)  SECOND METHOD AND MARKET QUOTATION.  If the Second
          Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable
          equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by
          the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated
          Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the
          Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B)
          the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts

                                   9<PAGE>
          owing to the Defaulting Party.  If that amount is a positive
          number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-
          defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-
          defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount
          to the Defaulting Party.

          (4)  SECOND METHOD AND LOSS.  If the Second Method and Loss
          apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting
          Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement.  If that amount
          is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to
          the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the
          Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that
          amount to the Defaulting Party.

     (ii) TERMINATION EVENTS.  If the Early Termination Date results
     from a Termination Event: 

          (1)  ONE AFFECTED PARTY.  If there is one Affected Party,
          the amount payable will be determined in accordance with
          Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section
          6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case,
          references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting
          Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party
          and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively,
          and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are
          being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all
          Terminated Transactions.

          (2)  TWO AFFECTED PARTIES.  If there are two Affected
          Parties: 

               (A)  if Market Quotation applies, each party will
               determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the
               Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable
               equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference
               between the Settlement Amount of the party with the
               higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement
               Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount
               ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
               the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination
               Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y;
               and

               (B)  if Loss applies, each party will determine its
               Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than
               all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect
               of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be
               payable equal to one-half of the difference between the
               Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the
               Loss of the party with the lower Loss ("Y").

          If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to
          X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value
          of that amount to Y.

     (iii)     ADJUSTMENT FOR BANKRUPTCY.  In circumstances where an
     Early Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early
     Termination" applies in respect of a party, the amount determined
     under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as
     are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or
     deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement
     (and retained by such other party) during the period from the
     relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment
     determined under Section 6(d)((ii).
<PAGE>
     (iv)      PRE-ESTIMATE.  The parties agree that if Market Quotation
     applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable
     pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty.  Such amount is payable for
     the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future
     risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither
     party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a
     consequence of such losses.

                                   10
<PAGE>
7.   TRANSFER

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest
or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether
by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior
written consent of the other party, except that:

(a)  a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or
transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity
(but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this
Agreement); and

(b)  a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its
interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under
Section 6(e).

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section
will be void.

8.   CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY

(a)  PAYMENT IN THE CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY.  Each payment under this
Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this
Agreement for that payment (the "Contractual Currency").  To the
extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments
under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the
Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the
actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a
reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so
tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the
Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this
Agreement.  If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency
so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the
payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately
pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be
necessary to compensate for the shortfall.  If for any reason the
amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in
the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement the
party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such
excess.

(b)  JUDGMENTS.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any
judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual
Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in
respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating
to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in
respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any
amount described in (i) or (iii) above, the party seeking recovery,
after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to
receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall
of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of
sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other
party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as
a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or
such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of
exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the
currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or
order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in
a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency
received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual
Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order
actually received by such party.  The term "rate of exchange"
includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange
payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the
Contractual Currency.

(c)  SEPARATE INDEMNITIES.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from
the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as
separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding
any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and
will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof
being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.

(d)  EVIDENCE OF LOSS.  For the purpose of this Section 8, it will
sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a
loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.

                                   11<PAGE>
9.   MISCELLANEOUS

(a)  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject
matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with
respect thereto.

(b)  AMENDMENTS.  No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of
this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a
writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of
the parties or confirmed by an exchange or telexes or electronic
messages on an electronic messaging system.

(c)  SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS.  Without prejudice to Section 2(a)(iii)
and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will
survive the termination of any Transaction.

(d)  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  Except as provided in this Agreement, the
rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and
privileges provided by law.

(e)  COUNTERPARTS AND CONFIRMATIONS.

     (i)  This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver
     in respect of it may be executed and delivered in counterparts
     (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be
     deemed an original.

     (ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms
     of each Transaction for the moment they agree to those terms
     (whether orally or otherwise).  A Confirmation shall be entered
     into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in
     counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created
     by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic
     messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case
     will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding
     supplement to this Agreement.  The parties will specify therein
     or through another effective means that any such counterpart,
     telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.

(f)  NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS.  A failure or delay in exercising any right,
power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed
to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or
further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege.

(g)  HEADINGS.  The headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction
of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

10.  OFFICE:  MULTIBRANCH PARTIES

(a)  If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each
party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its
head or home office represents to the other party that,
notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization of such party, the obligations of such
party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered
into the Transaction through its head or home office.  This
representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each
date on which a Transaction is entered into.
<PAGE>
(b)  Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and
receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction
without the prior written consent of the other party.

(c)  If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule,
such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries
under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and
the Office through which it makes and receives payment or deliveries
with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant
Confirmation.

11.  EXPENSES.

A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the
other party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by
reason of the enforcement and protection of its rights under this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which the Defaulting Party
is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction,
including, but not limited to costs of collection.

                                   12<PAGE>
12.  NOTICES

     transmission report generated by the sender's facsimile machine);

     (iv) if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if
     overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the
     date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; or

     (v)  if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that
     electronic message is received.

unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that

after the close of business on  a Local Business Day, in which case
that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first
following day that is a Local Business Day.

(b)  CHANGE OF ADDRESSES.  Either party may by notice to the other
change the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging
system details at which notices or other communications are to be

13.  GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

(a)  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed
in accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.

(b)  JURISDICTION.  With respect to any suit, action or proceedings
relating to this Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:-

     (i)  submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this
     Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the
     non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York
     and the United States District Court located in the Borough of
     Manhattan in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be
     governed by the laws of the State of New York; and

     (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the
     laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court,
     waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an
     inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with
     respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any
     jurisdiction over such party.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is
expressed to be governed by English law, the Contracting States, as
defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act
1982 or any modification, extension or re-enactment thereof for the
time being in force) nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one
or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any
other jurisdiction.

(c)  SERVICE OF PROCESS.  Each party irrevocably appoints the Process
Agent (if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive,
for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings.  If

                                   13<PAGE>
for any reason any party's Process Agent is unable to act as such, such
party will promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint
a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party.  The parties
irrevocably consent to service of process given in the manner provided
for notices in Section 12.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the
right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.

(d)  WAIVER OF IMMUNITIES.  Each party irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and
its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or intended use),
all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds

"LOSS" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated
Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination
Currency Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in
good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case
expressed as a negative  number) in connection with this Agreement or
that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as
the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at
the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost
incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain
resulting from any of them).  Loss includes losses and costs (or
gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been
made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on
or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so
as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3) or
6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies.  Loss does not include a party's legal fees
and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11.  A party will<PAGE>
determine its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if
that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter
as is reasonably practicable.  A party may (but need not) determine
its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from
one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets.

"MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more Terminated
Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount
determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. 
Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to
such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party
(expressed as a positive number) in consideration of any agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support
Document with respect to the obligations of such party) and the
quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the
"Replacement Transaction") that would have the effect of preserving
for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery
(whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and
assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by
the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for
the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have 
been required after that date.  For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in
respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment
or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date,
have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition

                                   15<PAGE>
precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included.  The
Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such
party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree.  The
party making the determination (or its agent) will request each
Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent
reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to
different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after
the relevant Early Termination Date.  The day and time as of which
those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by
the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if
each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other.  If more
than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations
having the highest and lowest values.  If exactly three such
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation
remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations.  For
this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or
lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded.  If
fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the
Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.

"NON-DEFAULT RATE" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without
proof or evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as
certified by it) if it were to fund the relevant amount.

"OFFICE" means a branch or office of a party, which may be such
party's head or home office.

notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of
Default.

market selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good

to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in
the same city.

"RELEVANT JURISDICTION" means, with respect to a party, the
jurisdictions (a) in which the party is incorporated, organized,
managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, (b) where an
Office through which the party is acting for purposes of this
Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this Agreement
and (d) in relation to any payment, from or through which such payment
is made.

is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.

"SETTLEMENT AMOUNT" means, with respect to a party and any Early
Termination Date, the sum of: 

(a)  the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations
(whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or
group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is
determined; and

(b)  such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without
reference to any Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or
group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot
be determined or would not (in the reasonable belief of the party
making the determination) produce a commercially reasonable result.

or hereafter entered into between one party to this Agreement (or any
Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified
Entity of such party) and the other party to this Agreement (or any
Credit Support Provider of such other party or any applicable
Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap
transaction, basic swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap,
commodity option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index
option, bond option, interest rate option, foreign exchange
transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction,

Early Termination Date).

amount and, in respect of any amount denominated in a currency other
than the Termination Currency (the "Other Currency"), the amount in
the Termination Currency determined by the party making the relevant
determination as being required to purchase such amount of such Other
Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if the
relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined
as of a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at
the rate equal to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent
(selected as provided below) for the purchase of such Other Currency
with the Termination Currency at or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in
which such foreign exchange agent is located) on such date as would be
customary for the determination of such a rate for the purchase of
such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date
or that later date.  The foreign exchange agent will, if only one
party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be
selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by
the parties.

Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i)
which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii) required to be
settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early
Termination Date and which has not been so settled as at such Early

                                   17<PAGE>
Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market value of that
which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the
originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to
the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency
of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or
obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or
performed to (but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the

basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.  The
fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above
shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the
determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it
