(MULTICURRENCY -- CROSS BORDER)

                                   [ISDA LOGO]

                                MASTER AGREEMENT

                           dated as of OCTOBER 5, 2001
                                      -----------------

              FLEET NATIONAL BANK and HASTINGS ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

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 Master 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 due date 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 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 an 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, then, 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 receive
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 governmental 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 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                           ISDA(R) 1992

         (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)(i),
         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.

         2(e) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or
         obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with
         or performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such

                  this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with
                  its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of

         (vi) CROSS DEFAULT. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as
         applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default,

                  applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect
                  to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7)
                  (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or
                  indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in,
                  any of the foregoing acts; or

         (viii) MERGER WITHOUT ASSUMPTION. The party or any Credit Support
         Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with
         or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another
         entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or
         transfer:--

                  (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to
                  assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit
                  Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support
                  Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by
                  operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably
                  satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or

                  (2)the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
                  (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by
                  such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its
                  obligations under this Agreement.

(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 Tax 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 be applicable, a Credit Event



                                       6                           ISDA(R) 1992

<PAGE>



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 by 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 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                           ISDA(R) 1992

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)(l), (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)(l) 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)(i)(l)
         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

                  (2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event
                  Upon 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


                                       8                           ISDA(R) 1992


<PAGE>
         continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is
         effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
         Transactions.

(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 (l) 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



                                       9                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>



                  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 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).

         (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.

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 (ii) 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 be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.

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 of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.

(c) SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Without prejudice to Sections 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 from 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. OFFICES; 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 organisation 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 oh which a Transaction is entered into.

(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 payments 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



                                      12                           ISDA(R) 1992

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 for any



                                      13                           ISDA(R) 1992




<PAGE>




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 from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any
court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for
recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after
judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its
revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the
courts of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

between the jurisdiction of the government or taxation authority imposing such
Tax and the recipient of such payment or a person related to such recipient
(including, without limitation, a connection arising from such recipient or
related person being or having been a citizen or resident of such jurisdiction,

"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)(l) 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 determine its
Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably

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 an 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



                                      15                           ISDA(R) 1992



<PAGE>
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 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.

"NON-DEFAULTING PARTY" has the meaning specified in Section 6(a).

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

"POTENTIAL EVENT OF DEFAULT" means any event which, with the giving of notice or
the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

"REFERENCE MARKET-MAKERS" means four leading dealers in the relevant market
selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from
among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that

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, organised, 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.

"SCHEDULED PAYMENT DATE" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be
made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.

"SET-OFF" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or
withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount
under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement,
another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed
on, such payer.

"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.

"SPECIFIED ENTITY" has the meanings specified in the Schedule.



                                      16                           ISDA(R) 1992

into between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such

before that Early Termination Date).

"TERMINATION CURRENCY" has the meaning specified in the Schedule.

"TERMINATION CURRENCY EQUIVALENT" means, in respect of any amount denominated in
the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency 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.

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 Applicable Rate. Such amounts of interest will be
calculated on 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 shall be the average of
the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values reasonably
determined by both parties.

(c)      FORMS. For purposes of Section 4(a)(iii) of this Agreement, the
         following shall be added immediately prior to the existing text:

                  "upon learning that such form or document is required or"

(d)      RIGHT OF SET-OFF. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid as and
                  when due, the party ("Party X") obligated to make that payment
                  hereby authorizes the other party ("Party Y") and each
                  Affiliate of Party Y to proceed, to the fullest extent
                  permitted by applicable law, without prior notice, by right of
                  set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise, against any
                  assets of Party X in any currency that may at any time be in
                  the possession of Party Y or that Affiliate, at any branch or
                  office, to the full extent of all amounts payable to Party Y
                  hereunder.

                  In addition, if a party would, but for this provision, have an
                  obligation to pay the other party any amount calculated
                  pursuant to Section 6(e) in connection with early termination
                  which occurs on the ground of (i) a Termination Event in which
                  that other party is the only Affected Party or (ii) an Event
                  of Default with respect to that other party at a time when any
                  amount is payable (whether at such time or in the future or
                  upon the occurrence of a contingency) to that party or its
                  Affiliate by that other party under any other agreement
                  between them or any instrument or undertaking of that other
                  party (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or
                  booking office of the obligation) (each such amount, an "Other
                  Obligation"), the party that, but for this provision would
                  have an obligation to make a payment hereunder is authorized
                  by that other party to set-off that obligation hereunder
                  against any Other Obligation, without prior notice. For
                  purposes of this provision, each party hereby agrees that, if
                  necessary to enable the other party to exercise the rights of
                  Set-off contemplated herein with respect to an amount payable
                  by it under this Agreement in a particular currency, that
                  amount shall be deemed converted to (and constitute an
                  obligation hereunder in an amount equal to) its equivalent in
                  the currency in which any Other Obligation is denominated, at
                  a rate of exchange and otherwise in a manner applicable
                  hereunder for conversion of any amounts to its Termination
                  Currency Equivalent (as if the date of Set-off were an Early
                  Termination Date and with the party entitled under this
                  provision to effect the Set-off to make the determinations
                  required for the conversion).

                  If an obligation is unascertained, the party exercising a
                  right of Set-off hereunder may in good faith estimate that
                  obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to
                  the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation
                  is ascertained.

                  If the party exercises a right of Set-off hereunder, it shall
                  give the other party notice of the amounts of the obligations
                  hereunder and the Other Obligations reduced and discharged by
                  the Set-off, as soon as practicable after the Set-off is
                  effected.

                  Nothing in this provision, titled Right of Set-off, shall be
                  effective to create a charge or other security interest. This
                  provision, titled Right of Set-off, shall be without prejudice
                  and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of
                  accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any
                  time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law or
                  otherwise).

(e)      TAX EVENT. The following is hereby inserted in Section 5(b)(ii) before
                  the words "there is a substantial likelihood that":

                  "in the written opinion of legal counsel of recognized
                  standing (which may include in-house legal counsel)"

(f)      CONFIRMATIONS. For each Transaction Party A and Party B agree to enter
                  into hereunder, Party A shall promptly send to Party B a
                  Confirmation setting forth the terms of such Transaction.
                  Party B

                  shall execute and return the Confirmation to Party A or
                  request correction of any error within two Local Business Days
                  of trade date. Failure of Party B to respond within such
                  period shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such
                  Transaction and shall be deemed to be an affirmation of such
                  terms.

(g)      CONSENT TO RECORDING. Each party consents to the monitoring or
                  recording, at any time and from time to time, by the other
                  party of any and all communications between officers or
                  employees of the parties, waives any further notice of such
                  monitoring or recording, and agrees to notify its officers and
                  employees of such monitoring or recording.

(h)      NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. Each party agrees, upon learning of the
                  occurrence of any event or commencement of any condition that
                  constitutes an Event of Default or a Potential Event of
                  Default with respect to itself, promptly to give the other
                  party notice of such event or condition. Failure to give
                  notice within 30 days of learning of such event or condition
                  shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to such
                  party.

(i)      CHANGE OF ACCOUNT. Section 2(b) of this Agreement is hereby amended by
                  the addition of the following after the word "delivery" in the
                  first line thereof:

                  "to another account in the same legal and tax jurisdiction as
                  the original account".

(j)      SEVERABILITY. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this
                  Agreement, or the application thereof to either party or any
                  circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal
                  (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any jurisdiction),
                  the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions of
                  this Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable,
                  invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction),
                  will continue in full force and effect, and such
                  unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise
                  affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the
                  remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this
                  Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues
                  to express, without material change, the original intentions
                  of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the
                  deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not
                  substantially impair the respective expectations of the
                  parties or the practical realization of the benefits that
                  would otherwise be enforced upon the parties. The parties will
                  endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited
                  or unenforceable provision with a valid provision, the
                  economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
                  the prohibited or unenforceable provision.

(k)      CONSENT TO TRANSFER. Section 7 of this Agreement is amended by deleting
                  the word "and" at the end of sub-paragraph (a); replacing the
                  period at the end of sub-paragraph (b) with the phrase
                  "; and"; and inserting the following sub-paragraph:

                  "(c) Party A may transfer, without the consent of Party B (or
                  any Credit Support Provider of Party B), this Agreement and
                  all or any portion of the Transactions under this Agreement in
                  the event that any of Party B's obligation(s) to Party A or
                  its Affiliates, as identified in Part 4 of this Agreement, are
                  sold, transferred, or otherwise assigned by Party A to one or
                  more banks or financial institutions, in which case Party B
                  (and each Credit Support Provider of Party B) shall execute,
                  or cause to be executed, such documents, instruments and
                  agreements, including without limitation, amendments to this
                  Agreement, as Party A shall deem necessary to effect the
                  foregoing."

(l)      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
                  RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDINGS. AS TO ANY MATTER
                  FOR WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY AGREES NOT
                  TO ASSERT ANY SUCH MATTER AS A CROSS CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN,
                  NOR



                                       25

                  MOVE TO CONSOLIDATE THE SAME WITH, ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING IN
                  WHICH A JURY TRIAL IS WAIVED.

         Agreement, the following shall be added, immediately following
