     3. Market Quotation.

     Notwithstanding the definition of "Market Quotation" in the Agreement,
for purposes of determining Market Quotations in respect of this Transaction,
Market Quotation shall mean a quotation from a Dealer (as defined herein),
acceptable to both parties, of the amount, if any, that such Dealer would
demand to receive or would offer to pay in consideration of such Dealer
entering into an agreement with the Requesting Party (as defined herein), with
such documentation as the Dealer and the Requesting Party may in good faith
agree, which would have the effect of preserving for the Requesting Party the
economic equivalent of the parties' rights and obligations under the
Agreement; provided that, any such quotation shall not constitute a Market
Quotation hereunder unless the Dealer shall have submitted, in connection with
such quotation, a Dealer Certification (as defined herein).

     If at least one Market Quotation from a Dealer other than Party A is
provided, the Requesting Party shall then have the option to either: (i)
accept the arithmetic mean of the Market Quotations; or (ii) require the party
to the Agreement that is not the Requesting Party (the "Non-Requesting Party")
to assign, at the cost of the Non-Requesting Party, its rights and obligations
under the Agreement to one of the Dealers providing Market Quotations;


                                      4
<PAGE>

provided that (a) such assignment must be pursuant to documentation that is
reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Party, and (b) the Requesting Party
must receive such opinions and assurances as it reasonably requests in
connection with such assignment.

     In the event that no other Market Quotations are obtained, Party A may be
the sole source of Market Quotations, so long as its calculations are made on
the basis of a hypothetical transaction of like terms but with a notional
amortization as set forth on Schedule A hereto and an option to reduce the
notional to a substantially faster notional amortization.

     For purposes of this Section:

     "Dealer" means a leading dealer in the relevant markets (and may include
Party A).

     "Dealer Certification" means a certificate, executed by a Dealer,
representing that: (i) the Dealer is qualified and authorized to enter into an
assignment of the Agreement; (ii) the Dealer has reviewed the terms of the
Agreement in full and has provided a bid on the basis of such terms; and (iii)
upon the request of the Requesting Party, the Dealer will accept an assignment
of the Non-Requesting Party's rights and obligations under the Agreement in
exchange for or by payment of the amount of its bid.

     "Requesting Party" means: (i) Party B in the case of an Event of Default
where Party A is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event where Party A is
the Affected Party; and (ii) Party A in the case of an Event of Default where
Party B is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event where Party B is the
Affected Party.

     4.   Account Details.
