     succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the
     amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after each such
     date until the next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business
     Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made
     on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same
     force and effect as if made on such date (each date on which Distributions
     are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a)(i), a "Distribution
     Date");

          (ii) in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its
     right under the Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Notes,
     Distributions on the Trust

                                       16

     Securities shall be deferred. Under the Indenture, so long as no Note Event
     of Default has occurred and is continuing, after October 12, 2006, the
     Depositor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during
     the term of the Notes, to defer the payment of interest on the Notes for a
     period of up to six (6) consecutive quarterly interest payment periods
     (such right to defer, the "Extension Right" and each such extended interest
     payment period, an "Extension Period"), during which Extension Period(s),
     no interest shall be due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that
     may be due and payable); provided, that, the Depositor shall not be
     entitled to exercise its Extension Right so that it would be able to defer
     the payment of interest on the Notes for more than six (6) quarterly
     interest payment periods; provided, further, that, after the expiration of
     any Extension Period, the Depositor may not exercise its Extension Right to
     begin any subsequent Extension Period until it pays all interest then
     accrued and unpaid on the Notes, together with such Additional Interest
     prior to beginning such subsequent Extension Period. No interest on the
     Notes shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the
     end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have
     been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional
     Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally
     enforceable) at a fixed rate equal to 7.74% per annum through the interest
     payment date in June 2015 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR
     plus 3.25% per annum compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts
     would have otherwise been due and payable until paid or until funds for the
     payment thereof have been made available for payment. If Distributions are
     deferred, the deferred Distributions (including Additional Interest
     Amounts) shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period
     terminates, to Holders of the Trust Securities as they appear on the books
     and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such
     termination date.

          (iii) Distributions shall accumulate in respect of the Trust
     Securities at a fixed rate equal to 7.74% per annum through the interest
     payment date in June 2015 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR
     plus 3.25% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities,
     such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Notes. LIBOR shall be
     determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Schedule A. During
     the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of Distributions payable for any period
     less than a full Distribution period shall be computed on the basis of a
     360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the amount payable for any partial
     period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a
     360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate
     Period, the amount of interest payable for any Interest Payment Period will
     be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days
     elapsed in the relevant interest period. The amount of Distributions
     payable for any period shall include any Additional Interest Amounts in
     respect of such period; and

          (iv) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Paying
     Agent from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each Distribution
     Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available
     in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions.

     (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution
Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities at

                                       17

the close of business on the relevant record date, which shall be at the close
of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the
relevant Distribution Date, except that Distributions and any Additional
Interest Amounts payable on the stated maturity (or any date of principal
repayment upon early maturity) of the principal of a Trust Security or on a
Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid.
Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on
any Distribution Date as a result of the Depositor having failed to make an
interest payment under the Notes will cease to be payable to the Person in whose
name such Trust Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such
defaulted Distributions and any Additional Interest Amounts will instead be
payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the
special record date, or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to
such defaulted Distribution and Additional Interest Amount, established in the
same manner, and on the same date, as such is established with respect to the
Notes under the Indenture.

     SECTION 4.2. Redemption.

     (a) On each Note Redemption Date and on the stated maturity (or any date of
principal repayment upon early maturity) of the Notes and on each other date on
(or in respect of) which any principal on the Notes is repaid, the Trust will be
required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

     (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than thirty (30) nor more
than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust
Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities
Register. All notices of redemption shall state:

          (i) the Redemption Date;

          (ii) the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be
     calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the
     estimate of the Redemption Price provided pursuant to the Indenture, as
     calculated by the Depositor, together with a statement that it is an
     estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated by the
     Calculation Agent on the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption Date
     (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the
     actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is
     calculated);

          (iii) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be
     redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
     respective amounts) and Liquidation Amounts of the particular Trust
     Securities to be redeemed;

          (iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due
     and payable upon each such Trust Security, or portion thereof, to be
     redeemed and that Distributions thereon will cease to accumulate on such
     Trust Security or such portion, as the case may be, on and after said date,
     except as provided in Section 4.2(d);

          (v) the place or places where the Trust Securities are to be
     surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price; and

                                       18

          (vi) such other provisions as the Property Trustee deems relevant.

     (c) The Trust Securities (or portion thereof) redeemed on each Redemption
Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the
contemporaneous redemption or payment at maturity of Notes. Redemptions of the
Trust Securities (or portion thereof) shall be made and the Redemption Price
shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust has
funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such
Redemption Price. Under the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed by the
Depositor on any Interest Payment Date, at the Depositor's option, on or after
June 30, 2010, in whole or in part, from time to time at the Optional Note
Redemption Price. The Notes may also be redeemed by the Depositor, at its option
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, in whole but not in part, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Investment Company Event or a Tax
Event, at the Special Note Redemption Price.

     (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any
Preferred Securities, then by 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Redemption
Date, the Depositor shall deposit sufficient funds with the Property Trustee to
pay the Redemption Price. If such deposit has been made by such time, then by
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Property Trustee
will, with respect to Book-Entry Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with
the Depositary for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities, to the extent available
therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give
such Depositary irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. With respect to Preferred
Securities that are not Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee
will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available
therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give
the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities upon surrender of their
Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions
payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities (or portion
thereof) called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust
Securities as they appear on the Securities Register on the relevant record
dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have
been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit,
all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities (or portion thereof) so called
for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the
Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities
on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and, in the case of a
partial redemption, the right of such Holders to receive a new Trust Security or
Securities of authorized denominations, in aggregate Liquidation Amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of such Trust Security or Securities, and such Securities
(or portion thereof) called for redemption will cease to be Outstanding. In the
event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business
Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on
the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the
amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after each such date
until the next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls
in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect
as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in
respect of any Trust Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption is
improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust, Distributions
on such Trust Securities (or portion

                                       19

thereof) will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the
Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities
(or portion thereof) to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in
which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for
purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

     (e) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust
Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated pro
rata to the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based upon the
relative aggregate Liquidation Amounts of the Common Securities and the
Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more
than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from
the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption;
provided, that with respect to Holders that would be required to hold less than
one hundred (100) but more than zero (0) Trust Securities as a result of such
redemption, the Trust shall redeem Trust Securities of each such Holder so that
after such redemption such Holder shall hold either one hundred (100) Trust
Securities or such Holder no longer holds any Trust Securities, and shall use
such method (including, without limitation, by lot) as the Trust shall deem fair
and appropriate; and provided, further, that so long as the Preferred Securities
are Book-Entry Preferred Securities, such selection shall be made in accordance
with the Applicable Depositary Procedures for the Preferred Securities by such
Depositary. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar
in writing of the Preferred Securities (or portion thereof) selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Preferred Securities selected for partial
redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of
this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case of
any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion
of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities that has been or is
to be redeemed.

     (f) The Trust in issuing the Trust Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall indicate the
"CUSIP" numbers of the Trust Securities in notices of redemption and related
materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and
related materials.

     SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

     (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts)
on, the Redemption Price of and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the
Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, pro rata among the Common
Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the
respective Trust Securities; provided, that if on any Distribution Date,
Redemption Date or Liquidation Date an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Interest
Amounts) on, Redemption Price of or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any
Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation
or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full
in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional
Interest Amounts) on all Outstanding Preferred

                                       20

Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in
the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption
Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities then called for redemption, or in
the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such
Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Preferred Securities, shall have
been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property
Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all
Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on, or the Redemption
Price of or the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Preferred Securities
then due and payable.

     (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holders of
the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event
of Default under this Trust Agreement until all such Events of Default with
respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise
eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with
respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise
eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common
Securities, and only the Holders of all the Preferred Securities will have the
right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

     SECTION 4.4. Payment Procedures.

     Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts), the
Redemption Price, Liquidation Amount or any other amounts in respect of the
Preferred Securities shall be made by wire transfer at such place and to such
account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in
writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the
Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not
been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be
made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear
in the Securities Register. If any Preferred Securities are held by a
Depositary, such Distributions thereon shall be made to the Depositary in
immediately available funds. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall
be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee
and the Holder of all the Common Securities.

     SECTION 4.5. Withholding Tax.

     (a) The Trust and the Administrative Trustees shall comply with all
withholding and backup withholding tax requirements under United States federal,
state and local law. The Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall
request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such forms or certificates
as are necessary to establish an exemption from withholding and backup
withholding tax with respect to each Holder and any representations and forms as
shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the
Trust to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its
withholding and backup withholding tax obligations. The Administrative Trustees
shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption
from withholding and backup withholding tax is properly established by a Holder,
shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable
jurisdictions. To the extent that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over
any amounts to any jurisdiction with respect to Distributions or allocations to
any Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution in the
amount of the withholding to the Holder. In the event of any claimed

                                       21

overwithholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable
jurisdiction. If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual
Distributions made, the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust may
reduce subsequent Distributions by the amount of such required withholding.

     SECTION 4.6. Tax Returns and Other Reports.

     The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) at the
principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of
Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, at the Depositor's expense, and file,
all United States federal, state and local tax and information returns and
reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust. The Administrative
Trustees shall prepare at the principal office of the Trust in the United
States, as defined for purposes of Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, and
furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished), by January 31 in each taxable
year of the Trust to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms and returns
required to be provided by the Trust. The Administrative Trustees shall provide
the Depositor, Cohen Bros. & Company and the Property Trustee with a copy of all
such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing.

     SECTION 4.7. Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust.

     Upon receipt under the Notes of Additional Tax Sums and upon the written
direction of the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee shall promptly
pay, solely out of monies on deposit pursuant to this Trust Agreement, any
Additional Taxes imposed on the Trust by the United States or any other taxing
authority.

     SECTION 4.8. Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

     Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities shall be
reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or any Owner
with respect thereto) has directly received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the
Indenture or Section 6.10(b) of this Trust Agreement.

     SECTION 4.9. Exchanges.

     (a) If at any time the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (in either case,
a "Depositor Affiliate") is the Owner or Holder of any Preferred Securities,
such Depositor Affiliate shall have the right to deliver to the Property Trustee
all or such portion of its Preferred Securities as it elects and, subject to
compliance with Sections 2.2 and 3.5 of the Indenture, receive, in exchange
therefor, a Like Amount of Notes. Such election shall be exercisable effective
on any Distribution Date by such Depositor Affiliate delivering to the Property
Trustee (i) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date on
which such exchange is to occur, the registration instructions and the
documentation, if any, required pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 3.5 of the
Indenture to enable the Indenture Trustee to issue the requested Like Amount of
Notes, (ii) a written notice of such election specifying the Liquidation Amount
of Preferred Securities with respect to which such election is being made and
the Distribution Date on which such exchange shall occur, which Distribution
Date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt by
the Property Trustee of such election notice and (iii) shall be conditioned upon
such Depositor Affiliate having delivered or caused to be delivered to the
Property Trustee or its

                                       22

designee the Preferred Securities that are the subject of such election by 10:00
A.M. New York time, on the Distribution Date on which such exchange is to occur.
After the exchange, such Preferred Securities will be canceled and will no
longer be deemed to be Outstanding and all rights of the Depositor Affiliate
with respect to such Preferred Securities will cease.

     (b) In the case of an exchange described in Section 4.9(a), the Property
Trustee on behalf of the Trust will, on the date of such exchange, exchange
Notes having a principal amount equal to a proportional amount of the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Common Securities, based on the ratio of
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities exchanged pursuant
to Section 4.9(a) divided by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities Outstanding immediately prior to such exchange, for such proportional
amount of Common Securities held by the Depositor (which contemporaneously shall
be canceled and no longer be deemed to be Outstanding); provided, that the
Depositor delivers or causes to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its
designee the required amount of Common Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 A.M.
New York time, on the Distribution Date on which such exchange is to occur.

     SECTION 4.10. Calculation Agent.

     (a) The Property Trustee shall initially, and, subject to the immediately
following sentence, for so long as it holds any of the Notes, be the Calculation
Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Distribution Date. The
Calculation Agent may be removed by the Administrative Trustees at any time. If
the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the
Administrative Trustees, the Administrative Trustees will promptly appoint as a
replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is
engaged in transactions in six-month Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurodollar market and which does not control or is not controlled by or under
common control with the Administrative Trustee or its Affiliates. The
Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly
appointed.

     (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as
possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in
no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately
following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate
the interest rate (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded
upwards) for the related Distribution Date, and will communicate such rate and
amount to the Depositor, the Administrative Trustees, the Note Trustee, each
Paying Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the
Administrative Trustee the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts
are based and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the
Administrative Trustees before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR
Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of
determining the foregoing rates and amounts or (ii) it has not determined and is
not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts, together with
its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent's determination of the foregoing
rates and amounts for any Distribution Date will (in the absence of manifest
error) be final and binding upon all parties. For the sole purpose of
calculating the interest rate for the Trust Securities, "Business Day" shall be
defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars are transacted in
the London interbank market.

                                       23

     SECTION 4.11. Certain Accounting Matters.

     (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrative
Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Trust in
the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section
301.7701-7, full books of account, records and supporting documents, which shall
reflect in reasonable detail each transaction of the Trust. The books of account
shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

     (b) The Administrative Trustees shall either (i) if the Depositor is then
subject to such reporting requirements, cause each Form 10-K and Form 10-Q
prepared by the Depositor and filed with the Commission in accordance with the
Exchange Act to be delivered to each Holder, with a copy to the Property
Trustee, within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof or (ii) cause to be
prepared at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined
for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, and delivered to each
of the Holders, with a copy to the Property Trustee, within ninety (90) days
after the end of each Fiscal Year, annual financial statements of the Trust,
including a balance sheet of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and
the related statements of income or loss.

     (c) If the Depositor intends to file its annual and quarterly information
with the Commission in electronic form pursuant to Regulation S-T of the
Commission using the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval ("EDGAR") system, the Administrative Trustees shall notify the
Property Trustee in the manner prescribed herein of each such annual and
quarterly filing. The Property Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to
access the EDGAR system for purposes of retrieving the financial information so
filed. Compliance with the foregoing shall constitute delivery by the
Administrative Trustees of its financial statements to the Property Trustee in
compliance with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, if
applicable. The Property Trustee shall have no duty to search for or obtain any
electronic or other filings that the Depositor makes with the Commission,
regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or otherwise.
Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Property Trustee pursuant
to this Section 4.11(c) shall be solely for purposes of compliance with this
Section 4.11 and, if applicable, with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.
The Property Trustee's receipt of such reports, information and documents shall
not constitute notice to it of the content thereof or any matter determinable
from the content thereof, including the Depositor's compliance with any of its
covenants hereunder, as to which the Property Trustee is entitled to rely upon
Officers' Certificates.

     (d) The Trust shall maintain one or more bank accounts in the United
States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, in
the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however, that all
payments of funds in respect of the Notes held by the Property Trustee shall be
made directly to the Payment Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be
deposited in the Payment Account. The sole signatories for such accounts
(including the Payment Account) shall be designated by the Property Trustee.

                                       24

                                   ARTICLE V.

                                   SECURITIES

     SECTION 5.1. Initial Ownership.

     Upon the creation of the Trust and the contribution by the Depositor
referred to in Section 2.3 and until the issuance of the Trust Securities, and
at any time during which no Trust Securities are Outstanding, the Depositor
shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.

     SECTION 5.2. Authorized Trust Securities.

     The Trust shall be authorized to issue one series of Preferred Securities
having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $25,000,000 and one series of Common
Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $780,000.

     SECTION 5.3. Issuance of the Common Securities; Subscription and Purchase
of Notes.

     On the Closing Date, an Administrative Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
shall execute and deliver to the Depositor Common Securities Certificates,
registered in the name of the Depositor, evidencing an aggregate of Seven
Hundred Eighty Thousand (780) Common Securities having an aggregate Liquidation
Amount of Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($780,000), against receipt by
the Trust of the aggregate purchase price of such Common Securities of Seven
Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($780,000). Contemporaneously therewith and with
the sale by the Trust to the Holders of an aggregate of Twenty Five Thousand
(25,000) Preferred Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of Twenty
Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), an Administrative Trustee, on behalf of the
Trust, shall purchase from the Depositor Notes, to be registered in the name of
the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust and having an aggregate principal
amount equal to Twenty Five Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars
($25,780,000), and, in satisfaction of the purchase price for such Notes, the
Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall deliver to the Depositor the sum
of Twenty Five Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($25,780,000)
(being the aggregate amount paid by the Holders for the Preferred Securities,
and the amount paid by the Depositor for the Common Securities).

     SECTION 5.4. The Securities Certificates.

     (a) The Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $100,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in
minimum denominations of $10,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. The Securities Certificates shall be executed on
behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one
Administrative Trustee. Securities Certificates bearing the signatures of
individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed,
authorized to sign such Securities Certificates on behalf of the Trust shall be
validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so

                                       25

authorized prior to the delivery of such Securities Certificates or did not have
such authority at the date of delivery of such Securities Certificates.

     (b) On the Closing Date, upon the written order of an authorized officer of
the Depositor, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Securities Certificates
to be executed on behalf of the Trust and delivered, without further corporate
action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.

     (c) The Preferred Securities issued to QIBs/QPs shall be, except as
provided in Section 5.6, Book-Entry Preferred Securities issued in the form of
one or more Global Preferred Securities registered in the name of the
Depositary, or its nominee and deposited with the Depositary or a custodian for
the Depositary for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the
Depositary Participants thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct). The
Preferred Securities issued to a Person other than a QIB/QP shall be issued in
the form of Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates.

     (d) A Preferred Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Property Trustee. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Security has been
authenticated under this Trust Agreement. Upon written order of the Trust signed
by one Administrative Trustee, the Property Trustee shall authenticate the
Preferred Securities for original issue. The Property Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent that is a U.S. Person acceptable to the Trust to
authenticate the Preferred Securities. A Common Security need not be so
authenticated and shall be valid upon execution by one or more Administrative
Trustees. The form of this certificate of authentication can be found in Section
5.13.

     SECTION 5.5. Rights of Holders.

     The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when
issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor
will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust. Except as provided in
Section 5.11(b), the Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as
such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to
stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     SECTION 5.6. Book-Entry Preferred Securities.

     (a) A Global Preferred Security may be exchanged, in whole or in part, for
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates registered in the names of the
Owners only if such exchange complies with Section 5.7 and (i) the Depositary
advises the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee in writing that the
Depositary is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Global Preferred Security, and no qualified
successor is appointed by the Administrative Trustees within ninety (90) days of
receipt of such notice, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act and the Administrative Trustees fail to
appoint a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of obtaining knowledge of
such event, (iii) the Administrative Trustees at their option advise the
Property Trustee in writing that the Trust elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depositary

                                       26

or (iv) a Note Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the
occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the
Administrative Trustees shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary
to notify all Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Delaware Trustee
and the Property Trustee of the occurrence of such event and of the availability
of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of the Preferred
Securities requesting the same. Upon the issuance of Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as Holders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Security
wishes at any time to transfer an interest in such Global Preferred Security to
a Person other than a QIB/QP, such transfer shall be effected, subject to the
Applicable Depositary Procedures, in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5.6 and Section 5.7, and the transferee shall receive a Definitive
Preferred Securities Certificate in connection with such transfer. A holder of a
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate that is a QIB/QP may, upon request
and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.6 and Section 5.7,
exchange such Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate for a beneficial
interest in a Global Preferred Security.

     (b) If any Global Preferred Security is to be exchanged for Definitive
Preferred Securities Certificates or canceled in part, or if any Definitive
Preferred Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for any
Global Preferred Security, then either (i) such Global Preferred Security shall
be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article V or
(ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Global Preferred
Security shall be reduced, subject to Section 5.4, or increased by an amount
equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Global
Preferred Security to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the Liquidation
Amount represented by such Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to be so
exchanged for any Global Preferred Security, as the case may be, by means of an
appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar,
whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depositary
Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to
make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender to the
Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar of any Global Preferred
Security or Securities by the Depositary, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions
of the Depositary. None of the Securities Registrar or the Trustees shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely
on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

     (c) Every Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate executed and
delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
Global Preferred Security or any portion thereof shall be executed and delivered
in the form of, and shall be, a Global Preferred Security, unless such
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate is registered in the name of a
Person other than the Depositary for such Global Preferred Security or a nominee
thereof.

     (d) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global
Preferred Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Preferred Security for
all purposes under this Trust Agreement and the Global Preferred Security, and
Owners with respect to a Global Preferred Security shall hold such interests
pursuant to the Applicable Depositary Procedures. The Securities Registrar and
the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of
this Trust Agreement relating to the Global Preferred Securities (including the
payment of the

                                       27

Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Book-Entry Preferred Securities
represented thereby and the giving of instructions or directions by Owners of
Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby and the giving of notices)
as the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby
and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. None of the Trustees nor
the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers
effected by the Depositary.

     (e) The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities shall
be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those
established by law, the Applicable Depositary Procedures and agreements between
such Owners and the Depositary and/or the Depositary Participants; provided,
that solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite
amount of Preferred Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this
Trust Agreement, to the extent that Preferred Securities are represented by a
Global Preferred Security, the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be
fully protected in relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy)
delivered to the Property Trustee by the Depositary setting forth the Owners'
votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons either
in whole or in part. To the extent that Preferred Securities are represented by
a Global Preferred Security, the initial Depositary will make book-entry
transfers among the Depositary Participants and receive and transmit payments on
the Preferred Securities that are represented by a Global Preferred Security to
such Depositary Participants, and none of the Depositor or the Trustees shall
have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto.

     (f) To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Preferred Securities are
represented by a Global Preferred Security, the Trustees shall give all such
notices and communications to the Depositary, and shall have no obligations to
the Owners.

     SECTION 5.7. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Securities
Certificates.

     (a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the Corporate
Trust Office, a register or registers (the "Securities Register") in which the
registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Trust Securities (the
"Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Preferred Securities
Certificates and Common Securities Certificates and registration of transfers
and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The
Person acting as the Property Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities
Registrar. The provisions of Article VIII shall apply to the Property Trustee in
its role as Securities Registrar.

     (b) Subject to Section 5.7(d), upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Preferred Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 5.7(f), the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall
execute by manual or facsimile signature and deliver to the Property Trustee,
and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred Securities
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount
as may be required by this Trust Agreement dated the date of execution by such
Administrative Trustee or Trustees. At the option of a Holder, Preferred
Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other

                                       28

Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Preferred Securities
Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 5.7(f). Whenever any Preferred Securities Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall
execute by manual or facsimile signature and deliver to the Property Trustee,
and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Preferred
Securities Certificates that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

     (c) The Securities Registrar shall not be required, (i) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Preferred Security during a period beginning at
the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for
redemption of such Preferred Securities pursuant to Article IV and ending at the
close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Preferred Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Preferred
Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

     (d) Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities
Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in writing and (i) if such Preferred Securities Certificate is being transferred
to a QIB, accompanied by a certificate of the transferor substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit E hereto or (ii) if such Preferred Securities
Certificate is being transferred otherwise than to a QIB, accompanied by a
certificate of the transferee substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit F
hereto.

     (e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Property Trustee on
behalf of the Trust may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.

     (f) The Administrative Trustees shall designate an office or offices or
agency or agencies where Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and initially designate the Corporate
Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Administrative
Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Property Trustee
and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency.

     SECTION 5.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities Certificates.

     (a) If any mutilated Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the
Securities Registrar together with such security or indemnity as may be required
by the Securities Registrar to save each of the Trustees harmless, the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust, shall
execute and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a new Securities
Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination.

     (b) If the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Securities Certificate and there shall
be delivered to the Securities Registrar such security or indemnity as may be
required by it to save each of the

                                       29

Trustees harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Securities
Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust, shall
execute and make available for delivery, and, with respect to Preferred
Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Securities Certificate, a new Securities
Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination.

     (c) In connection with the issuance of any new Securities Certificate under
this Section 5.8, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

     (d) Any duplicate Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
5.8 shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in
the assets of the Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Securities Certificate shall be found at any
time.

     (e) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities Certificate
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Depositor in its
discretion may provide the Administrative Trustee with the funds to pay such
Trust Security and upon receipt of such funds, the Administrative Trustee shall
pay such Trust Security instead of issuing a new Securities Certificate.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities Certificates.

     SECTION 5.9. Persons Deemed Holders.

     The Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in
whose name any Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities
Register as the owner of such Securities Certificate for the purpose of
receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the
Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the
contrary.

     SECTION 5.10. Cancellation.

     All Preferred Securities Certificates surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange or for payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Property Trustee, be delivered to the Property Trustee, and any such
Preferred Securities Certificates and Preferred Securities Certificates
surrendered directly to the Property Trustee for any such purpose shall be
promptly canceled by it. The Administrative Trustees may at any time deliver to
the Property Trustee for cancellation any Preferred Securities Certificates
previously delivered hereunder that the Administrative Trustees may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Preferred Securities Certificates so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Property Trustee. No Preferred
Securities Certificates shall be executed and delivered in lieu of or in
exchange for any Preferred Securities Certificates canceled as provided in this
Section 5.10, except as expressly permitted by this Trust Agreement. All
canceled Preferred Securities Certificates shall be retained by the Property
Trustee in accordance with its customary practices.

                                       30

     SECTION 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

     (a) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter shall
retain, beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. Neither the
Depositor nor any successor Holder of the Common Securities may transfer less
than all the Common Securities, and the Depositor or any such successor Holder
may transfer the Common Securities only (i) in connection with a consolidation
or merger of the Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or
lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
to any Person (in which event such Common Securities will be transferred to such
surviving entity, transferee or lessee, as the case may be), pursuant to Section
8.1 of the Indenture or (ii) to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor,
in each such case in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities
Act, and applicable state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent
permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be void. The
Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to
the Depositor to contain a legend stating substantially "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE
TRUST AGREEMENT."

     (b) Any Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for the debts and
obligations of the Trust in the manner and to the extent set forth with respect
to the Depositor and agrees that it shall be subject to all liabilities to which
the Depositor may be subject and, prior to becoming such a Holder, shall deliver
to the Administrative Trustees an instrument of assumption satisfactory to such
Trustees.

     SECTION 5.12. Restricted Legends.

     (a) Each Preferred Security Certificate shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

     THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY

     BLOCK HAVING AN AGGREGATE LIQUIDATION AMOUNT OF LESS THAN $100,000 AND
     MULTIPLES OF $1,000 IN EXCESS THEREOF SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE VOID AND OF NO
     LEGAL EFFECT WHATSOEVER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY SUCH
     PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO BE THE HOLDER OF SUCH PREFERRED
     SECURITIES FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF

     (b) The above legend shall not be removed from any of the Preferred
Securities Certificates unless there is delivered to the Property Trustee and
the Depositor satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel, as
may be reasonably required to ensure that any future transfers thereof may be
made without restriction under the provisions of the Securities Act and other
applicable law. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, one or more of the
Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall execute and deliver to the
Property Trustee, and the Property Trustee shall deliver, at the written
direction of the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor, Preferred Securities
Certificates that do not bear the legend.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                        MEETINGS; VOTING; ACTS OF HOLDERS

     SECTION 6.1. Notice of Meetings.

     Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, stating
the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of Preferred Securities, at such
Holder's registered address, at least fifteen (15) days and not more than ninety
(90) days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before
the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the
meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

     SECTION 6.2. Meetings of Holders of the Preferred Securities.

     (a) No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property
Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of at
least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Outstanding Preferred Securities and the Administrative Trustees or the Property
Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities to vote on any matters as to which such Holders are
entitled to vote.

     (b) The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum
at any meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.

     (c) If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders
present, in person or by proxy, holding Preferred Securities representing at
least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by the
Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute
the action of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, unless this Trust
Agreement requires a lesser or greater number of affirmative votes.

                                       34

     SECTION 6.3. Voting Rights.

     Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $10,000 of Liquidation
Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any
matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

     SECTION 6.4. Proxies, Etc.

     At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by
proxy, provided, that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall
have been placed on file with the Administrative Trustees, or with such other
officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for
verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a
resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the
Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders
of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by
several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy
in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be
present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their
proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be
received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed
by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior
to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the
challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of
execution.

     SECTION 6.5. Holder Action by Written Consent.

     Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a
meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of all Preferred Securities entitled to vote in respect of
such action (or such lesser or greater proportion thereof as shall be required
by any other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in
writing; provided, that notice of such action is promptly provided to the
Holders of Preferred Securities that did not consent to such action. Any action
that may be taken by the Holders of all the Common Securities may be taken
without a meeting and without prior notice if such Holders shall consent to the
action in writing.

     SECTION 6.6. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

     Except as provided in Section 6.10(a), for the purposes of determining the
Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or to act by
written consent, or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities
in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust
Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees
may from time to time fix a date, not more than ninety (90) days prior to the
date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action,
as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of
the Holders of record for such purposes.

     SECTION 6.7. Acts of Holders.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made
or taken by Holders may

                                       35

be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent thereof duly appointed in
writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to an
Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of
the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustees,
if made in the manner provided in this Section 6.7.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer's individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer's
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner that any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.

     (c) The ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities
Register.

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder
of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust Security issued upon
the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof
in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustees, the
Administrative Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.

     (e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any
action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by
one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.

     (f) If any dispute shall arise among the Holders or the Trustees with
respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or
Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the
Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

     SECTION 6.8. Inspection of Records.

     Upon reasonable written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the
Property Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by any
Holder during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such
Holder's interest as a Holder.

                                       36

     SECTION 6.9. Limitations on Voting Rights.

     (a) Except as expressly provided in this Trust Agreement and in the
Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Preferred Securities
shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the
administration, operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of the
parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms
of the Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Holders
from time to time as partners or members of an association.

     (b) So long as any Notes are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the
Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Note Trustee, or
exercise any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to
the Notes, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived under Section 5.13 of
the Indenture or waive compliance with any covenant or condition under Section
10.7 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a
declaration that the principal of all the Notes shall be due and payable or (iv)
consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
Notes, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining
the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount
of the Preferred Securities; provided, that where a consent under the Indenture
would require the consent of each holder of Notes (or each Holder of Preferred
Securities) affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property
Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred
Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities,
except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. In
addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Property Trustee
shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced
in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Trust to be
taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United
States federal income tax purposes.

     (c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the
Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect
in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the
Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or
otherwise or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other
than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of
Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such
amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a
result of such amendment, it would cause the Trust to be taxable as a
corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes.

     SECTION 6.10. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission of Annulment; Waivers of
Past Defaults.

     (a) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a
Note Event of Default, the Note Trustee fails or the holders of not less than
twenty five percent (25%) in

                                       37

principal amount of the outstanding Notes fail to declare the principal of all
of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least twenty
five percent (25%) in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then
Outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing
to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Note Trustee. At any time after a
declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a
judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Note
Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the
Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Note Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:

          (i) the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Note Trustee a sum
     sufficient to pay:

               (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Notes;

               (B) any accrued Additional Interest on all of the Notes;

               (C) the principal of and any premium, if any, on any Notes that
          have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and
          interest and Additional Interest thereon at the rate borne by the
          Notes; and

               (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Note Trustee under the
          Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
          advances of the Note Trustee, the Property Trustee and their agents
          and counsel; and

          (ii) all Note Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the
     principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration,
     have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture.

     Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice requesting such an
acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the
Preferred Securities, a record date shall be established for determining Holders
of Outstanding Preferred Securities entitled to join in such notice, which
record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee
receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated
proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided,
that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as
the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite
percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day that is ninety (90)
days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or
rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without
further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in
this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving,
after expiration of such ninety (90)-day period, a new written notice of
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case
may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to
the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be
established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.10(a).

     (b) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the
fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement
and the Indenture, upon a Note

                                       38

Event of Default specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 5.1 of the
Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute
a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 5.8 of the
Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in
respect of Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder. Except as set
forth in Section 6.10(a) and this Section 6.10(b), the Holders of Preferred
Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy
available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Notes.

     (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.10, the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities
may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any Note
Event of Default, except any Note Event of Default arising from the failure to
pay any principal of or any premium, if any, or interest on (including any
Additional Interest) the Notes (unless such Note Event of Default has been cured
and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and all
principal and premium, if any, on all Notes due otherwise than by acceleration
has been deposited with the Note Trustee) or a Note Event of Default in respect
of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note. Upon any
such waiver, such Note Event of Default shall cease to exist and any Note Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall affect any subsequent Note
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     (d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.10, the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities
may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past
Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such Event of
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.

     (e) The Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee in
respect of this Trust Agreement or the Notes or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement; provided, that,
subject to Sections 8.5 and 8.7, the Property Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Property Trustee being advised by
counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if
the Property Trustee in good faith shall, by an officer or officers of the
Property Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or
involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Holders not party to such direction, and provided, further, that nothing in this
Trust Agreement shall impair the right of the Property Trustee to take any
action deemed proper by the Property Trustee and which is not inconsistent with
such direction.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                       40

          (g) neither the authorization, execution or delivery by the Property
     Trustee or the Delaware Trustee of this Trust Agreement nor the
     consummation of any of the transactions by the Property Trustee or the
     Delaware Trustee contemplated herein requires the consent or approval of,

     Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, to enter into
     or perform its obligations as one of the Trustees under this Trust
     Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                                  THE TRUSTEES

     SECTION 8.1. Number of Trustees.

     The number of Trustees shall be five (5); provided, that the Property
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person, in which case the
number of Trustees shall be four (4). The number of Trustees may be increased or
decreased by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities subject to Sections 8.2,
8.3, and 8.4. The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate
to annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust.

     SECTION 8.2. Property Trustee Required.

     There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to
the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof,
authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authority and having an office within the
United States. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.2, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Property Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.2, it shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VIII.

                                       42

     SECTION 8.3. Delaware Trustee Required.

     (a) If required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, there shall at all
times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. The Delaware
Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and
a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity that has its
principal place of business in the State of Delaware, otherwise meets the
requirements of applicable Delaware law and shall act through one or more
persons authorized to bind such entity. If at any time the Delaware Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.3, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article VIII. The Delaware Trustee shall have the same rights,
privileges and immunities as the Property Trustee.

     (b) The Delaware Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any powers, nor
shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities, of the
Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees set forth herein. The Delaware
Trustee shall be one of the trustees of the Trust for the sole and limited
purpose of fulfilling the requirements of Section 3807 of the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act and for taking such actions as are required to be taken by a Delaware
trustee under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The duties (including fiduciary
duties), liabilities and obligations of the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to
(a) accepting legal process served on the Trust in the State of Delaware and (b)
the execution of any certificates required to be filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware that the Delaware Trustee is required to execute
under Section 3811 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and there shall be no
other duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations, express or implied, at
law or in equity, of the Delaware Trustee.

     SECTION 8.4. Appointment of Administrative Trustees.

     (a) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee
shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal
entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that
entity. Each of the individuals identified as an "Administrative Trustee" in the
preamble of this Trust Agreement hereby accepts his or her appointment as such.

     (b) Except where a requirement for action by a specific number of
Administrative Trustees is expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement, any act
required or permitted to be taken by, and any power of the Administrative
Trustees may be exercised by, or with the consent of, any one such
Administrative Trustee. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrative
Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an
Administrative Trustee in accordance with Section 8.11, the Administrative
Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other
provision of this Trust Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to the
Administrative Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the
Administrative Trustees by this Trust Agreement.

     SECTION 8.5. Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees.

     (a) The rights, immunities, duties and responsibilities of the Trustees
shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and there shall be no other duties
(including fiduciary duties)

                                       43

or obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity, of the Trustees;
provided, however, that if an Event of Default known to the Property Trustee has
occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of
directions, if any, from the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities, exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the
Trustees to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not herein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.5. Nothing in this Trust
Agreement shall be construed to release any Administrative Trustee from
liability for his or her own negligent action, negligent failure to act; or his
or her own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a
Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Trust or to the Holders, such
Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Trustee's
good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of
this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and
liabilities of the Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed
by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of
the Trustees.

     (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect
of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from
the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue
or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying
Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its
acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue
and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees are not personally
liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or
for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.5(b)
does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in
this Trust Agreement.

     (c) No provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Property Trustee from liability with respect to matters that are within the
authority of the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement for its own
negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except that:

          (i) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment
     made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless
     it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
     the pertinent facts;

          (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
     action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
     the direction of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount

     conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property

                                       44

     Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture, or exercising any trust or power
     conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

          (iii) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the custody,
     safe keeping and physical preservation of the Notes and the Payment Account
     shall be to deal with such Property in a similar manner as the Property
     Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the
     protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee
     under this Trust Agreement;

          (iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any
     money received by it except as it may otherwise agree in writing with the
     Depositor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated
     from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account
     maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to
     the extent otherwise required by law; and

          (v) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the
     compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with their
     respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property

     (a) Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of a default actually
known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit notice of
such default to the Holders, the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor,

Section 8.6, the term "default" means any event that is, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

     (b) Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of notice of the
Depositor's exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes

and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the
Holders and the Administrative Trustees, unless such exercise shall have been
revoked.

     (c) The Property Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.5:

          (a) the Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected
     in acting or refraining from acting in good faith and in accordance with
     the terms hereof upon any

                                       45

     resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a
     Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other resolution,
     certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
     direction, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence
     of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and
     to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

          (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the
     Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of
     action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement
     the Property Trustee finds a provision ambiguous or inconsistent with any
     other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure
     of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except
     as to any matter as to which the Holders of the Preferred Securities are
     entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property
     Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting the Depositor's
     written instruction as to the course of action to be taken and the Property
     Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the
     Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from
     taking, by the Depositor; provided, that if the Property Trustee does not
     receive such instructions of the Depositor within ten (10) Business Days
     after it has delivered such notice or such reasonably shorter period of
     time set forth in such notice, the Property Trustee may, but shall be under
     no duty to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the
     Property Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
     Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except
     for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;

          (c) any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this Trust
     Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
     unless otherwise expressly provided herein;

          (d) any direction or act of an Administrative Trustee contemplated by
     this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate
     executed by such Administrative Trustee and setting forth such direction or
     act;

          (e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording,
     filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or
     continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any
     re-recording, re-filing or re-registration thereof;

          (f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may
     be counsel to the Property Trustee, the Depositor or any of its Affiliates,
     and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel shall
     be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
     taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
     thereon and in accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have
     the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of
     this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction;

          (g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
     of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request
     or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless
     such Holders shall have offered to

                                       46

     the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
     expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and
     liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
     direction, including reasonable advances as may be requested by the
     Property Trustee; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section
     8.7(g) shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee, upon the
     occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights
     and powers in it vested by this Trust Agreement; provided, further, that
     nothing contained in this Section 8.7(g) shall prevent the Property Trustee
     from exercising its rights under Section 8.11 hereof;

          (h) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
     into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
     instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
     approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other
     paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more
     Holders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or
     investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
     Property Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it
     shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the
     Depositor, personally or by agent or attorney;

          (i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
     hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
     its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and the Property Trustee
     shall not be responsible for any negligence or misconduct on the part of
     any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by
     it hereunder;

          (j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the
     Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with
     respect to enforcing any remedy or right hereunder, the Property Trustee
     (i) may request instructions from the Holders (which instructions may only
     be given by the Holders of the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the
     Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under
     this Trust Agreement in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may
     refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action
     until such instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting
     in accordance with such instructions;

          (k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement,
     the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action
     that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement;

          (l) without prejudice to any other rights available to the Property
     Trustee under applicable law, when the Property Trustee incurs expenses or
     renders services in connection with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses
     (including legal fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the
     compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
     administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors rights
     generally; and

          (m) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the
     Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
     established prior to taking,

                                       47

     suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless
     other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
     bad faith on its part, request and rely on an Officers' Certificate which,
     upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor.

     No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or
obligation on any Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right,
power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in
which it shall be illegal, or in which such Person shall be unqualified or
incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts,
or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation.

     SECTION 8.8. Delegation of Power.

     Any Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law,
delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 its, his or her power
for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.5. The
Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time to such of their number
or to the Depositor the doing of such things and the execution of such
instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Trustees or
otherwise as the Trustees may deem expedient, to the extent such delegation is
not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the provisions of this Trust
Agreement.

     SECTION 8.9. May Hold Securities.

     Any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust
Securities and except as provided in the definition of the term "Outstanding" in
Article I, may otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it would have
if it were not an Trustee or such other agent.

     SECTION 8.10. Compensation; Reimbursement; Indemnity.

     The Depositor agrees:

          (a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time such reasonable
     compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder as may be agreed
     by the Depositor and the Trustees from time to time (which compensation
     shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation
     of a trustee of an express trust);

          (b) to reimburse the Trustees upon request for all reasonable
     expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustees in
     accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (including the
     reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their agents
     and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
     attributable to their gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;
     and

          (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify
     and hold harmless (i) each Trustee, (ii) any Affiliate of any Trustee,
     (iii) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent
     of any Trustee or any Affiliate of any Trustee and (iv) any employee or

                                       48

     "Indemnified Person") from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax
     (other than income, franchise or other taxes imposed on amounts paid
     pursuant to Section 8.10(a) or (b) hereof), penalty, expense or claim of
     any kind or nature whatsoever incurred without negligence, bad faith or
     willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
     acceptance or administration of the Trust hereunder, including the
     advancement of funds to cover the costs and expenses of defending itself
     against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
     performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     The Trust shall have no payment, reimbursement or indemnity obligations to
the Trustees under this Section 8.10. The provisions of this Section 8.10 shall
survive the termination of this Trust Agreement and the earlier removal or
resignation of any Trustee.

     No Trustee may claim any Lien on any Trust Property whether before or after
termination of the Trust as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section
8.10.

     To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall the Property
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not
limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

     In no event shall the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee be liable
for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because
of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God,
flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo,
government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental
action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the
services contemplated by this Trust Agreement.

     SECTION 8.11. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) No resignation or removal of any Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 8.12.

     (b) A Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Depositor and, in the case of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee,
to the Holders.

     (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed (with
or without cause) at any time by Act of the Holder of Common Securities. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed (with or without cause) at
such time by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
the Preferred Securities, delivered to the removed Trustee (in its individual
capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may be removed
(with or without cause) only by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities at
any time.

     (d) If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting
as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for any
reason, at a time when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities, by Act of

                                       49

the Holder of the Common Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
or Trustees, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall comply
with the applicable requirements of Section 8.12. If the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to
act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a
time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders
of the Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Property
Trustee or Delaware Trustee, and such successor Property Trustee or Delaware
Trustee and the retiring Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 8.12. If an Administrative Trustee shall
resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a
time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder
of the Common Securities by Act of the Holder of Common Securities shall
promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee and such successor
Administrative Trustee and the retiring Administrative Trustee shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 8.12. If no successor Trustee shall have
been so appointed by the Holder of the Common Securities or Holders of the
Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 8.12 within thirty (30) days after the giving of a notice of
resignation by a Trustee, the removal of a Trustee, or a Trustee becoming
incapable of acting as such Trustee, any Holder who has been a Holder of
Preferred Securities for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, and any resigning Trustee may, in each case, at
the expense of the Depositor, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (e) The Depositor shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and each appointment of a successor
Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in
Section 10.8. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Property
Trustee or Delaware Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it
is the Property Trustee.

     (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is
a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of Common
Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death,
incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (i) the unanimous act of the
remaining Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them or (ii)
otherwise by the Holder of the Common Securities (with the successor in each
case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative
Trustees or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth in Sections 8.3 and
8.4).

     (g) Upon the appointment of a successor Delaware Trustee, such successor
Delaware Trustee shall file a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of
Trust in accordance with Section 3810 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.

     SECTION 8.12. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each
successor Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Depositor and to the retiring
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee

                                       50

shall become effective and each such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Trust or any successor
Trustee such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds
thereof and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust.

     (b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Trust (or the retiring
Trustee if requested by the Depositor) shall execute any and all instruments for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph.

     (c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article VIII.

     SECTION 8.13. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that such Person shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VIII.

     SECTION 8.14. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities Certificates shall be
taken as the statements of the Trust and the Depositor, and the Trustees do not
assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees make no
representations as to the title to, or value or condition of, the property of
the Trust or any part thereof, nor as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Trust Agreement, the Notes or the Trust Securities. The Trustees shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the
Notes.

     SECTION 8.15. Property Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     (a) In case of any Bankruptcy Event (or event that with the passage of time
would become a Bankruptcy Event) relative to the Trust or any other obligor upon
the Trust Securities or the property of the Trust or of such other obligor or
their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions
on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of
whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Trust for the
payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:

          (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any
     Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to
     file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
     order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for
     the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and

                                       51

     advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the
     Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

          (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the
Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee first any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

     (b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or compensation affecting
the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the
Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

     SECTION 8.16. Reports to the Property Trustee.

     (a) The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall deliver to the
Property Trustee, not later than forty five (45) days after the end of each of
the first three fiscal quarters of the Depositor and not later than ninety (90)
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust ending after the date of
this Trust Agreement, an Officers' Certificate covering the preceding fiscal

Depositor or the Trust shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the
nature and status thereof of which they have knowledge.

     (b) The Depositor shall cause NorthStar Realty Finance Corp., the general
partner of the Depositor, to furnish (i) to the Property Trustee; (ii) Cohen
Bros. & Company, 450 Park, 23rd Floor, New York, NY 10022 or such other address

     of the Common Securities);

          (c) the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection
     with the payment at maturity or redemption of all the Notes; and

     shall deem appropriate.

     (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the
liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Notes to Holders, the Property
Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a
separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such distribution
(which shall not be more than forty five (45) days prior to the Liquidation Date
nor prior to the date on which notice of such liquidation is given to the
Holders) and establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect
the distribution of Notes in exchange for the Outstanding Securities
Certificates.

     (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation
Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii)
certificates representing a Like Amount of Notes will be issued to Holders of
Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such Certificates to the exchange
agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use its best efforts to have the
Notes listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange,
interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization on which the
Preferred Securities are then listed, if any, (iv) Securities Certificates not
so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Notes
bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and
unpaid Distributions on such Securities Certificates until such certificates are
so surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of
interest or principal will be made to Holders of Securities Certificates with
respect to such Notes) and (v) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities
will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Notes upon surrender of
Securities Certificates.

     (d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, if
distribution of the Notes in the manner provided herein is determined by the
Property Trustee not to be permitted or practical, the Trust Property shall be
liquidated, and the Trust shall be wound up by the Property Trustee in such
manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, Holders will be
entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to
Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided
by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security
plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such
amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such winding up the
Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has

                                       54

insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable
by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based
upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled
to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding up pro rata (based
upon Liquidation Amounts) with Holders of all Trust Securities, except that, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities
shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

     SECTION 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of
Trust.

     The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to, any Person except pursuant to this Article IX.
At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, without the consent of
the Holders of the Preferred Securities, the Trust may merge with or into,
consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such
under the laws of any State; provided, that:

          (a) such successor entity either (i) expressly assumes all of the
     obligations of the Trust under this Trust Agreement with respect to the
     Preferred Securities or (ii) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other
     securities having substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities
     (such other Securities, the "Successor Securities") so long as the
     Successor Securities have the same priority as the Preferred Securities
     with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and
     otherwise;

          (b) a trustee of such successor entity possessing substantially the
     same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the
     Notes;

          (c) if the Preferred Securities or the Notes are rated, such merger,
     consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease
     does not cause the Preferred Securities or the Notes (including any
     Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized
     statistical rating organization that then assigns a rating to the Preferred
     Securities or the Notes;

          (d) the Preferred Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities
     will be listed upon notice of issuance, on any national securities exchange
     or interdealer quotation system on which the Preferred Securities are then
     listed, if any;

          (e) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
     transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and
     privileges of the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any
     Successor Securities) in any material respect;

          (f) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to
     that of the Trust;

          (g) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
     conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has received an Opinion of
     Counsel to the

                                       55

     effect that (i) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
     conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights,
     preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred Securities
     (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect; (ii)
     following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
     conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor entity
     will be required to register as an "investment company" under the
     Investment Company Act and (iii) following such merger, consolidation,
     amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust (or the
     successor entity) will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for
     U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

          (h) the Depositor or its permitted transferee owns all of the common
     securities of such successor entity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of
Holders of all of the Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other
entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace, the Trust if
such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
lease would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be taxable as a
corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes or cause the Notes to be treated as other than
indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes.

                                   ARTICLE X.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

dissolution or incapacity of any Person having an interest, beneficial or
otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust
Agreement, nor annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust nor entitle the legal
representatives or heirs of such Person or any Holder for such Person, to claim
an accounting, take any action or bring any proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of
them.

     SECTION 10.2. Agreed Tax Treatment of Trust and Trust Securities.

purposes, and to treat the Trust Securities (including all payments and proceeds
with respect to such Trust Securities) as undivided beneficial ownership
interests in the Trust Property (and payments and proceeds therefrom,
respectively) for United States federal, state and local tax purposes and to
treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal,
state and local tax purposes. The provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be
interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties.

accordance with such amendment will not cause the Trust to be taxable as a
corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes or affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness
of the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes or affect the
Trust's exemption from status (or from any requirement to register) as an

Property, or permit the creation of any Lien on any portion of the Trust
Property; or (v) modify the definition of "Outstanding," this Section 10.3(c),
Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 6.10(e) or Article IX.

shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement that would
cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or to be classified as other than

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     The Trust promises to pay Distributions from May 25, 2005, or from the most
recent Distribution Date to which Distributions have been paid or duly provided
for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 30,
June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on September 30,
2005, at a fixed rate equal to 7.74% per annum through the interest payment date
in June 2015 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25% per
annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities represented by this
Preferred Securities Certificate, together with any Additional Interest Amounts,
in respect to such period.

     Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Paying Agent
from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to
the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment
Account for the payment of such Distributions.

     In the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right
under the Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Notes, Distributions
on the Preferred Securities shall be deferred.

     Under the Indenture, so long as no Note Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, after October 12, 2006, the Depositor shall have the right, at
any time and from time to time during the term of the Notes, to defer the
payment of interest on the Notes for a period of up to six (6) consecutive
quarterly interest payment periods (such right to defer, the "Extension Right"
and each such extended interest payment period, an "Extension Period"), during
which Extension Period(s), no interest shall be due and payable (except any
Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable); provided, that, the Depositor
shall not be entitled to exercise its Extension Right so that it would be able
to defer the payment of interest on the Notes for more than six (6) quarterly
interest payment periods; provided, further, that, after the expiration of any
Extension Period, the Depositor may not exercise its Extension Right to begin
any subsequent Extension Period until it pays all interest then accrued and
unpaid on the Notes, together with such Additional Interest prior to beginning
such subsequent Extension Period. No interest on the Notes shall be due and
payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each
installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during
such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of
such interest would be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate equal to 7.74% per
annum through the interest payment date in June 2015 and thereafter at a
variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum compounded quarterly, from the
dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable until paid or
until funds for the payment thereof have been made available for payment. If
Distributions are deferred, the deferred Distributions (including Additional
Interest Amounts) shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period
terminates to Holders (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Trust
Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record
date immediately preceding such termination date.

     Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after
giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds
available for the payment of such Distributions in the Payment Account of the
Trust. The Trust's funds available for Distribution

                                       C-5

to the Holders of the Preferred Securities will be limited to payments received
from the Depositor.

     During any Extension Period or Event of Default, the Depositor shall not
(i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Depositor's
capital stock or (ii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or
premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the
Depositor that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Notes (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares
of capital stock of the Depositor in connection with (1) any employment
contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of
any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (2) a dividend
reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (3) the issuance of capital
stock of the Depositor (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such
capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior
to the applicable Extension Period or Event of Default, (b) as a result of an
exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Depositor's capital stock
(or any capital stock of a Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Depositor) for any class or series of the Depositor's capital stock or of any
class or series of the Depositor's indebtedness for any class or series of the
Depositor's capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of
the Depositor's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions
of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any
declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan (as defined in the
Indenture), the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights
Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or (e) any
dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the
dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or
other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or
ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock).

     On each Note Redemption Date, on the stated maturity (or any date of
principal repayment upon early maturity) of the Notes and on each other date on
(or in respect of) which any principal on the Notes is repaid, the Trust will be
required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.
Under the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed by the Depositor on any Interest
Payment Date, at the Depositor's option, on or after June 30, 2010 in whole or
in part from time to time at the Optional Note Redemption Price of the principal
amount thereof or the redeemed portion thereof, as applicable, together, in the
case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional
Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption. The Notes may also be
redeemed by the Depositor, at its option, at any time, in whole but not in part,
upon the occurrence of an Investment Company Event or a Tax Event at the Special
Note Redemption Price; provided, that such Investment Company Event or a Tax
Event is continuing on the Redemption Date.

     The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at
the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption or
payment at maturity of Notes. Redemptions of the Trust Securities (or portion
thereof) shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each
Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and
available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.

                                       C-6

     Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts), the
Redemption Price, Liquidation Amount or any other amounts in respect of the
Preferred Securities shall be made by wire transfer at such place and to such
account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in
writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the
Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not
been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be
made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear
in the Security Register. If any Preferred Securities are held by a Depositary,
such Distributions shall be made to the Depositary in immediately available
funds.

     The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent provided in the
Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of all Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture), and this Security is
issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.

          Re: Purchase of $____________ stated liquidation amount of Floating
              Rate Preferred Securities (the "Preferred Securities") of
              NorthStar Realty Finance Trust II

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with our purchase of the Preferred Securities we confirm
that:

          1. We understand that the Floating Rate Preferred Securities (the
"Preferred Securities") of NorthStar Realty Finance Trust II (the "Trust") and
the Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the "Subordinated Notes")
of NorthStar Realty Finance Limited Partnership (the "Company") (the entire
amount of the Trust's outstanding Preferred Securities and the Subordinated
Notes together being referred to herein as the "Offered Securities"), have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following
sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for
which we are purchasing the Offered Securities that, if we decide to offer, sell
or otherwise transfer any such Offered Securities, (i) such offer, sale or
transfer will be made only (a) to the Trust, (b) to a person we reasonably
believe is a "qualified purchaser" (a "QP") (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). We understand that the
certificates for any Offered Security that we receive will bear a legend
substantially to the effect of the foregoing.

          2. We are a "qualified purchaser" within the meaning of Section
2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and are purchasing
for our own account or for the account of such a "qualified purchaser," and we
have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Offered
Securities, and we and any account for which we are acting are each able to bear
the economic risks of our or its investment.

          3. We are acquiring the Offered Securities purchased by us for our own
account (or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole
investment discretion and have authority to make, and do make, the statements
contained in this letter) and not with a

                                       E-1

view to any distribution of the Offered Securities, subject, nevertheless, to
the understanding that the disposition of our property will at all times be and
remain within our control.

          4. In the event that we purchase any Preferred Securities or any
Subordinated Notes, we will acquire such Preferred Securities having an
aggregate stated liquidation amount of not less than $100,000 or such
Subordinated Notes having an aggregate principal amount not less than $100,000,
for our own account and for each separate account for which we are acting.

          5. We acknowledge that we are not a fiduciary of (i) an employee
benefit, individual retirement account or other plan or arrangement subject to
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") (each a "Plan"); or (ii) an entity whose underlying assets include "plan
assets" by reason of any Plan's investment in the entity, and are not purchasing
any of the Offered Securities on behalf of or with "plan assets" by reason of
any Plan's investment in the entity.

          6. We acknowledge that the Trust and the Company and others will rely
upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements and agree that if any of the acknowledgments,
representations, warranties and agreements deemed to have been made by our
purchase of any of the Offered Securities are no longer accurate, we shall
promptly notify the Company. If we are acquiring any Offered Securities as a
fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, we represent that we have
sole discretion with respect to each such investor account and that we have full
power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreement on
behalf of each such investor account.

                             DETERMINATION OF LIBOR

     With respect to the Trust Securities, the London interbank offered rate
("LIBOR") shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
following provisions (in each case rounded to the nearest .000001%):

     (1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (as defined below) prior to a
Distribution Date (except with respect to the first interest payment period,
such date shall be May 23, 2005) (each such day, a "LIBOR Determination Date"),
LIBOR for any given security shall for the following interest payment period
equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent from Bloomberg Financial
Markets Commodities News, for three-month Eurodollar deposits that appears on
Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange
Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.

     (2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Dow
Jones Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations
of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the London
interbank market for three-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by
the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by
the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination
Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall
equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination
Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR
shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading
banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on
the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month Eurodollar deposits in an
amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the principal London
offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided, that if the
Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance
with at least one of the procedures provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as
determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date.

     (3) As used herein: "Reference Banks" means four major banks in the London
interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent; and "LIBOR Business Day"
means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings
in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London.[THE BOND MARKET ASSOCIATION LOGO]

     both), as shall be agreed, shall promptly deliver to the other party a
     written confirmation of each Transaction (a "Confirmation"). The
     Confirmation shall describe the Purchased Securities (including CUSIP

     any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously
     credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller
     pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof) against the transfer of the Repurchase
     Price to an account of Buyer.

4. MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a)  If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
     subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
     Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount for all such
     Transactions (a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice to Seller
     require Seller in such Transactions, at Seller's option, to transfer to
     Buyer cash or additional Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer
     ("Additional Purchased Securities"), so that the cash and aggregate Market
     Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional Purchased
     Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer's Margin
     Amount (decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date
     arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer is acting as Seller).

(b)  If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
     subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
     Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller's Margin Amount for all such
     Transactions at such time (a "Margin Excess"), then Seller may by notice to
     Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer's option, to transfer
     cash or Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value
     of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any
     Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such
     aggregate Seller's Margin Amount (increased by the amount of any Margin
     Excess as of such date arising from any Transactions in which the Seller is
     acting as Buyer).

(c)  If any notice is given by the Buyer or Seller under subparagraph (a) or (b)
     of this paragraph at or before the Margin Notice Deadline on any business
     day, the party receiving such notice shall transfer cash or Additional
     Purchased Securities as provided in such subparagraph no later than the
     close of business in the relevant market on such day. If any such notice is
     given after the Margin Notice Deadline, the party receiving such notice
     shall transfer such cash or Securities no later than the close of business
     in the relevant market on the next business day following such notice.

(d)  Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to such
     Transactions as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.

(e)  Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions
     hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under
     subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a
     Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a specified
     dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such
     Transactions (which amount or percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and
     Seller prior to entering into any such Transactions).

                                        4

(f)  Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions
     hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer and Seller under
     subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a
     Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised
     whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any
     single Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other
     Transaction outstanding under this Agreement).

5. INCOME PAYMENTS

     Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or
     distributed on or in respect of the Securities that is not otherwise
     received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the
     Securities had not been sold to Buyer. Buyer shall, as the parties may
     agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such
     agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the
     date such Income is paid or distributed either (i) transfer to or credit to
     the account of Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Securities
     subject to such Transaction or (ii) with respect to Income paid in cash,
     apply the Income payment or payments to reduce the amount, if any, to be
     transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer
     shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding
     sentence (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of
     a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller
     transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Securities sufficient to
     eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of Default with respect
     to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is
     paid or distributed.

6. SECURITY INTEREST

     Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and
     purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to
     be loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for
     the performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction,
     and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of
     the Purchased Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all
     Income thereon and other proceeds thereof.

7. PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

     Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be
     in immediately available funds. All Securities transferred by one party
     hereto to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer or
     shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment
     in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may
     reasonably request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a
     Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method
     mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.

8. SEGREGATION OF PURCHASED SECURITIES

     To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the
     possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its
     possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement.
     Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books
     and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary
     or a clearing corporation. All of Seller's interest in the Purchased
     Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchases Date and, unless otherwise
     agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer
     from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or
     otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased
     Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations
     to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4 or
     11 hereof, or of Buyer's obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply
     Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.

                                        5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIRED DISCLOSURE FOR TRANSACTIONS IN WHICH THE SELLER RETAINS CUSTODY OF THE
PURCHASED SECURITIES

     Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to
     this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer's securities segregated at all
     times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute
     other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that
     Buyer's securities will likely be commingled with Seller's own securities
     during the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that
     Buyer's securities are commingled with Seller's securities, they [will]*
     [may]** be subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]*
     [third parties]** and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other
     securities transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller's
     ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to
     Seller's ability to satisfy [the clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain
     substitute securities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     *Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. Section 403.4(e) if Seller is a
     government securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution.

     **Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. Section 403.5(d) if Seller is a
     financial institution.

9. SUBSTITUTION

(a)  Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer, substitute
     other Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution shall be
     made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to Seller
     of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted
     Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.

(b)  In Transactions in which the Seller retains custody of Purchased
     Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for
     purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and
     accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for
     Purchased Securities; provided, however, that such other Securities shall
     have a Market Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased
     Securities for which they are substituted.

10. REPRESENTATIONS

     Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it
     is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into the

     any such disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of
     any governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the
     Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect
     and (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
     Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance, charter, by-law
     or rule applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which
     any of its assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction
     Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing
     representations made by it.

11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     In the event that (i) Seller fails to transfer or Buyer fails to purchase
     Purchased Securities upon the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) Seller fails
     to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer Purchased Securities upon the
     applicable Repurchase Date, (iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply with

                                        6

     Paragraph 4 hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one business day's notice, to
     comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (v) an Act of Insolvency occurs with
     respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any representation made by Seller or Buyer
     shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or
     repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vii) Seller or Buyer
     shall admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to, perform
     any of its obligations hereunder (each an "Event of Default"):

(a)  The nondefaulting party may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to
     have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of
     Insolvency), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and,
     upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date
     for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be
     deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase
     Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such
     exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately
     canceled). The nondefaulting party shall (except upon the occurrence of an
     Act of Insolvency) give notice to the defaulting party of the exercise of
     such option as promptly as practicable.

(b)  In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, if
     the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
     referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting
     party's obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased
     Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date
     determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, shall
     thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after
     such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the nondefaulting
     party and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other
     amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, and (iii) the defaulting
     party shall immediately deliver to the nondefaulting party any Purchased
     Securities subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party's
     possession or control.

(c)  In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, upon
     tender by the nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase
     Prices for all such Transactions, all right, title and interest in and
     entitlement to all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall
     be deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and the defaulting party
     shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party.

(d)  If the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the
     option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, the nondefaulting
     party, without prior notice to the defaulting party, may:

     (i)  as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller,
          (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a
          commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the
          nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all
          Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the
          proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any
          other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its
          sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such
          Purchased Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such
          Purchased Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such
          date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent
          closing (ask/offer) quotation from such a source, against the
          aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the
          defaulting party hereunder; and

     (ii) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer,
          (A) immediately purchase, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a
          commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the
          nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory,

                                        7

          securities ("Replacement Securities") of the same class and amount as
          any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the defaulting
          party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in its
          sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities,
          to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price
          therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or
          the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source.

     Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree
     that (1) the Securities subject to any Transaction hereunder are
     instruments traded in a recognized market, (2) in the absence of a
     generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any
     Security, the nondefaulting party may establish the source therefor in its
     sole discretion and (3) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined
     together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market
     practice with respect to the relevant Securities).

(e)  As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, the
     defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for any excess
     of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for
     Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased
     Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the defaulting
     party under Paragraph 5 hereof or otherwise hereunder.

(f)  For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each
     Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as
     Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such
     Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by
     the nondefaulting party of its option under subparagraph (a) of this
     Paragraph.

(g)  The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for (i) the
     amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the
     nondefaulting party in connection with or as a result of an Event of
     Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees,
     expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and
     entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a
     result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, dam-age, cost or
     expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of
     Default in respect of a Transaction.

(h)  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the defaulting party shall be
     liable to the nondefaulting party for interest on any amounts owing by the
     defaulting party hereunder, from the date the defaulting party becomes
     liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full
     by the defaulting party or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the
     nondefaulting party's rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the
     defaulting party to the nondefaulting party under this Paragraph 11(h)
     shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for the
     relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate.

(i)  The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder,
     any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or
     applicable law.

12. SINGLE AGREEMENT

     Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter
     into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon
     the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
     contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
     Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its
     obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in
     the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in
     respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that

                                        8

     each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by
     them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in
     respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments,
     deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any
     Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments,
     deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions
     hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and
     other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

13. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

     Any and all notices, statements, demands or other communications hereunder
     may be given by a party to the other by mail, facsimile, telegraph,
     messenger, or otherwise to the address specified in Annex I to hereto, or
     so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of
     address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests
     hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by
     other communication as specified in the preceding sentence.

14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

     This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties
     containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each
     provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent
     from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable
     notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or
     agreement.

15. NON-ASSIGNABILITY; TERMINATION

(a)  The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under
     any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior
     written consent of the other party, and any such assignment without prior
     written consent of the other party shall be null and void. Subject to the
     foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and
     shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
     and assigns. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving
     written notice to the other, except that this Agreement shall,
     notwithstanding such notice, remain applicable to any Transactions then
     outstanding.

(b)  Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 15 shall not preclude a party from
     assigning, charging or otherwise dealing with all or any part of its
     interest in any sum payable to it under Paragraph 11 hereof.

16. GOVERNING LAW

     This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York
     without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

17. NO WAIVERS, ETC.

     No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall
     constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any
     remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to
     exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any
     provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure
     herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and
     duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of
     the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) or
     4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later
     date.

18. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

(a)  If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") are intended to
     be used by either party hereto (the "Plan

                                        9

     Party") in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party
     prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the
     other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited
     transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other
     party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to
     proceed.

(b)  Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, any
     such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to
     Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial
     condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its
     financial condition.

(c)  By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller shall be
     deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller's latest
     such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in
     Seller's financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and
     (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements
     of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is the Seller
     in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

19. INTENT

(a)  The parties recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase agreement" as
     that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code,
     as amended (except insofar as the type of Securities subject to such
     Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition
     inapplicable), and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in
     Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except
     insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such
     definition inapplicable).

(b)  It is understood that either party's right to liquidate Securities
     delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise
     any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof, is a contractual right
     to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title
     11 of the United States Code, as amended.

(c)  The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an "insured
     depository institution," as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit
     Insurance Act, as amended ("FDIA"), then each Transaction hereunder is a
     "qualified financial contract," as that term is defined in the FDIA and any
     rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type
     of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition
     inapplicable).

(d)  It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a "netting contract" as
     defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") and each payment entitlement
     and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a
     "covered contractual payment entitlement" or "covered contractual payment
     obligation", respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA except
     insofar as one or both of the parties is not a "financial institution" as
     that term is defined in FDICIA).

20. DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

     The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a)  in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or
     dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under
     Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), the
     Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the
     provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("SIPA") do
     not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

                                       10

(b)  in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government
     securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC
     under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the
     other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

(c)  in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial
     institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a
     Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by
     the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union
     Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

                  [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]

                                       11

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Master Repurchase
Agreement by their duly authorized signatories as of the date hereof.

          "(a) Transaction Mechanics; Related Matters.

          (i) From time to time during the Commitment Period but no more
          frequently than once per week, the Buyer may in its discretion
          purchase from the Seller the Seller's rights and interests (but none
          of its obligations) under certain Eligible Assets; provided, however,
          (A) at no time shall the aggregate Purchase Price of the outstanding
          Transactions and any proposed Transactions exceed the Maximum Amount
          and (B) at no time shall the Buyer enter into Transactions after the
          Commitment Period. The Seller shall request a Transaction by
          delivering to the Buyer, via Electronic Transmission, a written

          the extent available in such form and otherwise by overnight
          delivery), a Seller Asset Schedule, a draft Confirmation and an

          other things, (i) the proposed Purchase Date, that, except with
          respect to the initial Transaction, shall be at least ten (10)
          Business Days (or such additional reasonable time as the Buyer may
          reasonably request) after the delivery of the Transaction Request, the
          Seller Asset Schedule, the draft Confirmation, the complete
          Underwriting Package and any supplemental requests (requested orally
          or in writing) relating to the proposed Mortgage Assets, (ii) the
          proposed Purchase Price, which shall be in a minimum amount of
          $1,000,000, (iii) the proposed Repurchase Date, (iv) the applicable
          Class and Type for each such Mortgage Asset, and (v) such other
          additional terms and conditions requested by the Buyer in its
          reasonable discretion. The Buyer shall have ten (10) Business Days (or
          such additional reasonable time as the Buyer may reasonably request)
          from the receipt thereof to review the Transaction Request, the Seller
          Asset Schedule, the draft Confirmation, the Underwriting Package and
          any supplemental requests (requested orally or in writing) relating to
          the proposed Mortgage Assets.

          (ii) The Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing of the Buyer's
          tentative approval (and the proposed Purchase Price for each Mortgage
          Asset) or final disapproval of each proposed Mortgage Asset within ten
          (10) Business Days (or such additional reasonable time as the Buyer
          may reasonably request) after its receipt of the Transaction Request,
          the Seller Asset Schedule, the draft Confirmation, the complete
          Underwriting Package and any supplemental requests (requested orally
          or in writing) relating to such proposed Mortgage Asset. Unless the
          Buyer notifies the Seller in writing of the Buyer's approval of such
          proposed Mortgage Asset within the applicable period, the Buyer shall
          be deemed not to have approved the purchase of such proposed Mortgage
          Asset.

                                   Annex I-30

          (iii) Provided that the Buyer has tentatively agreed to purchase the
          Mortgage Assets described in the Transaction Request and the proposed
          Purchase Price is acceptable to the Seller, the Seller shall forward
          to the Buyer, via Electronic Transmission, on the requested Purchase
          Date a completed and executed Confirmation with respect to each
          Transaction, and a copy of the executed Assignment. The Confirmation
          delivered by the Seller to the Buyer may specify any additional terms
          or conditions of the Transaction not inconsistent with this Repurchase
          Agreement. Delivery of a Confirmation to the Buyer shall be deemed to
          be a certification by the Seller, among other things, that all
          conditions precedent to such Transaction set forth in Section 3 of
          this Repurchase Agreement have been satisfied (except the Buyer's
          consent). Unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon receipt of the
          Confirmation and Assignment, the Buyer may, in its discretion, agree
          to enter into the requested Transaction with respect to a Mortgage
          Asset, with such additional terms, conditions and requirements
          contained in the Confirmation as the Buyer may require in its
          discretion (if additional terms, conditions or requirements are
          required by the Buyer, the Seller shall include such terms, conditions
          and/or requirements in the Confirmation to the extent it approves of
          same, and provide a re-executed Confirmation to the Buyer), and the
          Buyer's agreement to purchase the Mortgage Asset on the terms,
          conditions and requirements as the Buyer may require in its discretion
          shall be evidenced by the Buyer's signature on the Confirmation. Any
          Confirmation executed by the Buyer shall be deemed to have been
          received by the Seller on the date actually received by the Seller.

          (iv) (A) the Seller shall release or cause to be released to the
          Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement (1) in the case
          of a single Non-Table Funded Purchased Asset, no later than 1:00 p.m.

          Asset, two (2) Business Days) prior to the requested Purchase Date,
          and, (2) in the case of a Table Funded Purchased Asset, no later than

          Schedule and Exception Report with respect to the Eligible Assets that
          the Seller has requested the Buyer purchase on such Purchase Date.
          With respect to each Table Funded Purchased Asset, the Seller shall
          cause the Bailee to deliver to the Custodian, with a copy to the
          Buyer, no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Purchase Date, by Electronic
          Transmission, copies of the related Basic Mortgage Asset Documents, a
          fully executed Bailee Agreement, a Bailee's Trust Receipt issued by
          the Bailee thereunder and such other evidence satisfactory to the
          Buyer in its reasonable discretion that all documents necessary to
          effect a transfer of the Eligible Assets to the Buyer have been
          delivered to Bailee. With respect to each Table Funded Purchased
          Asset, the Custodian shall deliver to the Buyer with a copy to the
          Seller a Table Funded Trust Receipt no later than 3:00 p.m. on the
          Purchase Date, which receipt and all other documents delivered to the
          Bailee shall be acceptable to the Buyer in its reasonable discretion.
          In the case of a Table Funded Purchased Asset, no later than 3:00 p.m.
          on the second (2nd) Business Day following the Custodian's receipt of
          the related Mortgage Loan Documents comprising the Mortgage Asset
          File, the Custodian shall deliver to the Buyer a Trust Receipt (along

          Custodian shall deliver to the Buyer an Asset Schedule and Exception
          Report relating to all of the Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5)
          Business Days of its receipt of the Mortgage Asset Files.

          (vi) On the Purchase Date for each Eligible Asset to be purchased on
          such date, and provided the requirements set forth in this Repurchase
          Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents are satisfied, including,
          without limitation, the delivery to the Buyer of a Trust Receipt
          pursuant to Paragraph 3(a)(v) of this Repurchase Agreement, ownership
          of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to the Buyer (subject to
          the terms of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer of the
          lesser of (A) Purchase Price and (B) the Availability to the Seller
          not later than 5:00 p.m. on such date. The Seller hereby sells,
          transfers, conveys and assigns to the Buyer all the right, title and
          interest (but none of the obligations) of the Seller in and to the
          Purchased Assets together with all right, title and interest in and to
          the proceeds of any related Purchased Assets (subject to the terms of
          this Agreement).

          (vii) Each Confirmation, together with this Repurchase Agreement,
          shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between the
          Buyer and the Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the
          Confirmation relates. The Seller's acceptance of the related proceeds
          shall, to the extent the Confirmation is not for any reason executed
          by the Seller, constitute the Seller's agreement to the terms of such
          Confirmation. It is the intention of the parties that each
          Confirmation shall not be separate from this Repurchase Agreement but
          shall be made a part of this Repurchase Agreement.

          (viii) In no event shall a Transaction be entered into when any
          Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or when the
          Repurchase Date for such Transaction would be later than the Facility
          Maturity Date.

          (ix) In the case of individual Transactions terminable upon demand (if
          any), such demand shall be made by the Buyer or the Seller no later
          than such time as is customary in accordance with market practice, by
          telephone or otherwise, on or prior to the Business Day on which such
          termination will be effective. The Seller shall repurchase the
          Purchased Assets by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Repurchase Date. On
          a Repurchase Date, termination of a Transaction will be effected by
          transfer to the Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets after
          the Buyer receives the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Asset. In
          connection with the termination of a Transaction, any Income in
          respect of any Purchased Assets received by the Buyer and not
          previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations
          of, the Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Repurchase Agreement
          shall be netted against the Repurchase Price by the Buyer. To the
          extent a net amount is owed to one party, the other party shall pay
          such amount to such party.

          (x) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Repurchase Agreement,
          during the term of this Repurchase Agreement, the Seller may sell to
          the Buyer, repurchase from the Buyer and resell to the Buyer, Eligible
          Assets hereunder; provided, however, the Seller shall have no right to
          substitute an Eligible Asset for a Purchased Asset. To the extent the
          Seller requests less than the Purchase Price that it would otherwise
          be entitled to receive under the terms of this Repurchase Agreement in
          connection with the purchase of

                                   Annex I-32

          any Eligible Asset, and provided (A) no Default or Event of Default
          exists, (B) the Purchased Asset continues to be a Purchased Asset, (C)
          such Purchased Asset is not a Defaulted Mortgage Asset or Delinquent
          Mortgage Asset and (D) each applicable eligibility criteria set forth
          in Schedule 1 to this Repurchase Agreement is satisfied in all
          material respects, the Seller may request an additional advance of the
          Purchase Price against such Purchased Asset in an amount not to exceed
          the positive difference (if any) between the current Purchase Price
          (calculated as if such Purchased Asset were purchased on such day) and
          the Purchase Price originally advanced by the Buyer with respect
          thereto; provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate amounts
          advanced against such Purchased Asset exceed the Maximum Purchase
          Price that the Buyer was prepared to advance on the date the Purchased
          Asset was acquired by the Buyer under this Repurchase Agreement. If
          the Buyer has advanced the full amount of the Purchase Price that is
          then available to the Seller on the Purchase Date for the purchase of
          the Purchased Asset, the Seller may request in writing that the Buyer
          reunderwrite the Purchased Asset and/or redetermine the Asset Value of
          such Purchased Asset (in each case in accordance with the same
          standards used by the Buyer with respect thereto at the time the
          Purchased Asset was originally purchased on the Purchase Date) for the
          purposes of obtaining additional advances of the Purchase Price with
          respect to such Purchased Asset, and, provided (A) no Default or Event
          of Default exists, (B) the Purchased Asset continues to be a Purchased
          Asset, (C) such Purchased Asset is not a Defaulted Mortgage Asset or
          Delinquent Mortgage Asset and (D) each applicable eligibility criteria
          set forth in Schedule 1 to this Repurchase Agreement is satisfied in
          all material respects, the Buyer may, in its discretion, consider such
          request and may take such action (or no action) in response thereto as
          the Buyer may determine in its discretion.

          (b) Optional Repurchase. The Seller may, upon two (2) Business Days'
          prior written notice or such shorter period as the Buyer may agree in
          its discretion (such notice to be received by the Buyer no later than
          5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on such day) to the Buyer
          and the Swap Counterparty, reduce the aggregate Repurchase Price of
          all Purchased Assets (or, prior to an Event of Default, any portion of
          all Purchased Assets or any individual Purchased Asset) currently
          outstanding by remitting to the Collection Account (1) cash in the
          amount of the principal reduction plus accrued and unpaid Price
          Differential and any related Breakage Costs owed in connection
          therewith and (2) instructions to reduce such Repurchase Price,
          provided that (A) in connection with such reduction the Seller shall
          comply with the terms of any related Interest Rate Protection
          Agreement requiring that the Interest Rate Protection Agreement be
          terminated in whole or in part as the result of any such reduction of
          the Repurchase Price and the Seller has paid all amounts due to the
          applicable parties in connection with any such termination and (B)
          after giving effect to such reduction, the Seller shall be in
          compliance with all Sub-Limits and all other terms, conditions and
          requirements contained in the Repurchase Documents.

          (c) Extension of Facility Maturity Date. At the written request of the
          Seller delivered to the Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) days and no
          later than thirty (30) days prior to the Facility Maturity Date, the
          Buyer may in its discretion grant one extension of the Facility
          Maturity Date for a period not to exceed one (1) year by giving
          written notice of such extension to the Seller no later than fifteen
          (15) days before the expiration of the Facility Maturity Date. Any
          failure by the Buyer to deliver such notice of extension on a timely
          basis shall be deemed to be the Buyer's determination not to extend
          the original Facility Maturity Date. An extension of the Facility
          Maturity Date is subject to the

                                   Annex I-33

          following requirements: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have
          occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an
          Extension Fee as set forth in the Fee Letter, (iii) no additional
          Transactions shall be permitted to be entered into after the original
          Facility Maturity Date, (iv) the Seller must, in addition to other
          amounts owed by the Seller hereunder, amortize and pay to the Buyer
          the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Transactions then outstanding
          in equal quarterly installments over the term of the extension
          commencing with the original Facility Maturity Date and on the Payment
          Date for each quarter thereafter, (v) not later than the Facility
          Maturity Date (as extended in accordance with the terms of this
          Repurchase Agreement), the Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal
          to the aggregate Repurchase Price then outstanding, together with all
          other Aggregate Unpaids and any other amounts then owing to the Buyer
          by the Seller pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement or any other
          Repurchase Document, and (vi) if for any reason the Facility Maturity
          Date were extended beyond four (4) years from the Closing Date (by
          extensions of the Facility Maturity Date, amendments to the Facility
          or otherwise), to which the Buyer makes no promise or commitment
          whatsoever, continuation statements have been filed with respect to
          any outstanding UCC financing statement in favor of the Buyer with
          respect to this Facility. The Seller confirms that the Buyer, in its
          discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the
          Purchased Assets or any other factor, may elect not to extend the
          Facility Maturity Date.

          (d) Extension of Commitment Expiration Date. The Seller may, by
          written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to the Commitment
          Expiration Date then in effect, make written request for the Buyer to
          extend the Commitment Expiration Date for a period not to exceed 364
          days from the then current Commitment Expiration Date. Provided no
          Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the
          Commitment Expiration Date then in effect, the Commitment Expiration
          Date shall be extended to the date that is not greater than 364 days
          immediately following the Commitment Expiration Date then in effect;
          provided, that the Commitment Expiration Date shall in no event be
          extended beyond the third one-year anniversary of the Closing Date or
          beyond the Facility Maturity Date.

          (e) Payment of Price Differential.

          (i) Notwithstanding that the Buyer and the Seller intend that the
          Transactions hereunder be sales to the Buyer of the Purchased Assets,
          the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the accrued value
          of the Price Differential of each Transaction for the most recently
          ended Accrual Period (each such payment, a "Periodic Advance
          Repurchase Payment") on each Payment Date less any portion thereof
          previously paid, if any. The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller, via
          Electronic Transmission, notice of the required Periodic Advance
          Repurchase Payment on or prior to the Business Day preceding each
          Payment Date; provided, however, the Buyer's failure to timely deliver
          such notice shall not affect the Seller's obligations to pay the
          Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment due. If the Seller fails to make
          all or part of the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment by 11:00 a.m.,
          Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the Payment Date, the Seller shall
          be obligated to pay to the Buyer (in addition to, and together with,
          the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment) interest on the unpaid amount
          of the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment at a rate per annum equal
          to the Post-Default Rate (the "Late Payment Fee") until the overdue
          Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment is received in full by the Buyer.

                                   Annex I-34

          (ii) If the Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on any day prior to
          the last day of a Eurodollar Period or if the Seller repurchases
          Purchased Assets on any day that is not a Repurchase Date for such
          Purchased Assets, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer and hold the
          Buyer harmless from any Breakage Costs actually incurred by the Buyer
          for the remainder of the Eurodollar Period. The Buyer shall deliver to
          the Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of
          determination of any Breakage Costs, it being agreed that such
          statement and the method of its calculation shall be conclusive and
          binding upon the Seller, absent manifest error. This Paragraph
          3(e)(ii) shall survive termination of this Repurchase Agreement and
          the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions
          hereunder until the expiration of the applicable statute of
          limitations.

          (f) Payment, Transfer and Custody.

          (i) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid
          or deposited by the Seller hereunder shall be paid or deposited in
          accordance with the terms of this Repurchase Agreement no later than
          3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States, in
          immediately available funds and without deduction, set-off or
          counterclaim to the Buyer's Account and if not received before such
          time shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. The
          Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to the
          Buyer interest on any amounts not paid when due hereunder or under the
          Repurchase Documents at the Post-Default Rate, payable on demand;
          provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time
          exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest
          shall be for the account of, and distributed to, the Buyer. All
          computations of interest, Price Differential and fees hereunder or
          under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year consisting
          of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but
          excluding the last day) elapsed. The Seller acknowledges that it has
          no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing Buyer's Account or from the
          Collection Account or the Securities Account.

          (ii) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day
          other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
          succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case
          be included in the computation of the payment of the Price
          Differential or any fee payable hereunder or under the Fee Letter, as
          the case may be.

          (iii) Any Mortgage Asset Files not delivered to the Buyer or its
          designee (including the Custodian) are and shall be held in trust by
          the Seller or its agent for the benefit of the Buyer as the owner
          thereof. The Seller or its agent shall maintain a copy of the Mortgage
          Asset File and the originals of the Mortgage Asset File not delivered
          to the Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian). The possession
          of the Mortgage Asset File by the Seller or its agent is at the will
          of the Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased
          Asset, and such retention and possession by the Seller or its agent is
          in a custodial capacity only. Each Mortgage Asset File retained or
          held by the Seller or its agent shall be segregated on the Seller's
          books and records from the other assets of the Seller or its agent,
          and the books and records of the Seller or its agent shall be marked
          appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased
          Asset to the Buyer. The Seller or its agent shall release custody of
          the Mortgage Asset File only in accordance with written instructions
          from the Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the
          servicing of the Purchased Assets or is in connection with a
          repurchase of any

                                   Annex I-35

          Purchased Asset by the Seller, in each case in accordance with the
          terms of the Custodial Agreement.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
          contrary, all Repurchase Price and all other Obligations shall be paid
          in full on or before the Facility Maturity Date.

          (h) Fees.

          (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer
          the Commitment Fee agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer in the Fee
          Letter.

          (ii) To the extent not separately paid by the Seller under the Fee
          Letter, the Price Differential, the Unused Fee and all other fees and
          amounts payable under the Fee Letter shall be paid to the Buyer from
          the Collection Account to the extent funds are available on each
          Payment Date pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Repurchase Agreement.

          (iii) To the extent not separately paid by the Seller, the Custodian's
          fees and expenses shall be paid to the Custodian from the Collection
          Account to the extent funds are available on each Payment Date
          pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Repurchase Agreement.

          (iv) The Seller shall pay to Moore & Van Allen PLLC, as counsel to the
          Buyer, on the Closing Date, its estimated, but reasonable, fees and
          out-of-pocket expenses in immediately available funds and shall pay
          all additional fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Moore & Van Allen
          PLLC (including reasonable fees and expenses incurred in reviewing
          proposed Mortgage Assets for purchase by the Buyer, which fees for the
          review of the proposed Mortgage Assets shall be limited to $2,500 per
          Mortgage Asset) within ten (10) days after receiving an invoice for
          such amounts.

          (i) Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

          (i) If either (A) the introduction of or any change (including,
          without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of
          reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or
          regulation, or (B) the compliance by the Buyer and/or any other
          Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or
          other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law)
          shall (1) subject the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party to any Tax
          (except for Taxes on the overall net income or franchise of the Buyer
          and/or any other Affected Party), duty or other charge with respect to
          any ownership interest in the Purchased Items, or any right to enter
          into Transactions hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (2)
          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including,
          without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of
          Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve
          requirement, if any, included in the determination of the Price
          Differential), special deposit or similar requirement against assets
          of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, the
          Buyer and/or any other Affected Party or (3) impose any other
          condition affecting the ownership interest in the Purchased Items
          conveyed to the Buyer hereunder or the Buyer's and/or any other
          Affected Party's rights hereunder, the result of which is to increase
          the cost to the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party or to reduce the
          amount of any sum received or receivable by the Buyer and/or any other
          Affected Party under this Repurchase Agreement, then within ten (10)
          days after demand by the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party (which
          demand shall be

                                   Annex I-36

          accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand),
          the Seller shall pay directly to the Buyer and/or any other Affected
          Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer
          and/or any other Affected Party for such additional or increased cost
          actually incurred or such reduction actually suffered.

          (ii) If either (A) the introduction of or any change in or in the
          interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or
          request or (B) compliance by the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party
          with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from
          any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or
          not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
          compliance by the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party with any
          request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the
          effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of the Buyer
          and/or any other Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations
          hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that
          which the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party could have achieved
          but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into
          consideration the policies of the Buyer and/or any other Affected
          Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the
          Buyer and/or any other Affected Party to be material, then from time
          to time, within ten (10) days after demand by the Buyer and/or any
          other Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
          setting forth the basis for such demand), the Seller shall pay
          directly to the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party such additional
          amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer and/or any other
          Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any
          interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial
          Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adaptation, change,
          request or directive subject to this Paragraph 3(i)(ii).

          (iii) In determining any amount provided for in this Paragraph 3(i),
          the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party may use any reasonable
          averaging and attribution methods. The Buyer or the Affected Party
          making a claim under this Paragraph 3(i) shall submit to the Seller a
          written description as to such additional or increased cost or
          reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall
          be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Notwithstanding anything to
          the contrary contained in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Paragraph 3(i),
          the Buyer shall not seek to impose any such Increased Costs on the
          Seller unless the Buyer is imposing such Increased Costs on similarly
          situated sellers or borrowers. To the extent possible, the Buyer will
          use its best efforts to give prior notice to the Seller that there
          will be Increased Costs incurred. If the Buyer gives notice of
          Increased Costs and the Seller either accepts such Increased Costs or
          continues to utilize the Facility with knowledge of such Increased
          Costs, the Seller shall be obligated to pay such Increased Costs
          before exercising the termination option set forth in the next
          sentence. If the proposed Increased Costs exceed 7.5% of the Seller's
          Facility costs for the preceding year, the Seller shall have the
          option to terminate the Repurchase Agreement by giving three (3)
          Business Days prior written notice to the Buyer and remitting to the
          Buyer on or before the effective date of the termination all
          outstanding Obligations due to the Buyer and the other Affected
          Parties under the Repurchase Documents. If the Seller terminates the
          Repurchase Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, the
          Seller shall be entitled to a pro-rata rebate of the Commitment Fee
          based on the portion of the three (3) year Facility that was not used
          by the Seller.

          (iv) If the Buyer and/or any other Affected Party shall notify the
          Seller that a Eurodollar Disruption Event as described in clause (a)
          of the definition of "Eurodollar Disruption Event" has occurred, all
          Transactions in respect of which the Price

                                   Annex I-37

          Differential accrues at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall immediately
          be converted into Transactions in respect of which the Price
          Differential accrues at the Base Rate.

          (v) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
          Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller
          contained in this Paragraph 3(i) shall survive the termination of this
          Repurchase Agreement until the expiration of the applicable statute of
          limitations.

          (j) Taxes.

          (i) All payments made by the Seller, the Guarantor and the Pledgor
          under the Repurchase Documents will be made free and clear of and
          without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If
          any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the
          Buyer and/or any other Affected Party, then the amount payable will be
          increased (such increase, the "Additional Amount") such that every net
          payment made under the Repurchase Documents after withholding for or
          on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on
          such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid
          had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld. The
          foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not
          apply with respect to net income or franchise taxes imposed on the
          Buyer and/or any other Affected Party, with respect to payments
          required to be made by the Seller, the Guarantor or the Pledgor under
          the Repurchase Documents, by a taxing jurisdiction in which the Buyer
          and/or any other Affected Party is organized, conducts business or is
          paying taxes (as the case may be).

          (ii) The Seller will indemnify the Buyer and any other Affected Party
          for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of
          Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties, interest
          and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments
          in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days
          from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to either
          Seller.

          (iii) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the
          Seller of any Taxes, the Seller will furnish to the Buyer, at its
          address set forth under its name on the signature pages of the Master
          Repurchase Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

          (iv) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
          Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller
          contained in this Paragraph 3(j) shall survive the termination of this
          Repurchase Agreement until the expiration of the applicable statute of
          limitations.

          (k) Obligations Absolute. Except as set forth to the contrary in the
          Repurchase Documents, all sums payable by the Seller and/or the
          Guarantor hereunder shall be paid without notice, demand,
          counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and without abatement,
          suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the obligations
          and liabilities of the Seller and the Guarantor hereunder shall in no
          way be released, discharged, or otherwise affected (except as
          expressly provided herein) by reason of: (a) any damage to or
          destruction of or any taking of any Property, any Underlying Mortgaged
          Property, any other collateral for a Purchased Asset or any portion of
          the foregoing; (b) any restriction or prevention of or interference
          with any use of any Property, Underlying Mortgaged Property, any other
          collateral for a Purchased Asset or any portion of the foregoing; (c)
          any title defect or encumbrance or any eviction from any

                                   Annex I-38

          Property, Underlying Mortgaged Property, any other collateral for a
          Purchased Asset or any portion of the foregoing by title paramount or
          otherwise; (d) any Insolvency Proceeding relating to any of the
          Seller, the Guarantor, a Borrower or any obligor, account debtor or
          indemnitor under the Mortgage Loan Documents or any Affiliate of the
          foregoing, or any action taken with respect to this Repurchase
          Agreement or any other Repurchase Document by any trustee or receiver
          of any of the Seller, the Guarantor, a Borrower or any obligor,
          account debtor or indemnitor under the Mortgage Loan Documents or any
          Affiliate of the foregoing, or by any court, in any such proceeding;
          (e) any claim that the Seller has or might have against the Buyer or
          any Affiliate; (f) any default or failure on the part of the Buyer to
          perform or comply with any of the terms of this Repurchase Agreement,
          the Repurchase Documents, the Engagement Letter or of any other
          agreement with the Seller, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the
          foregoing; (g) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased
          Asset or any of the Mortgage Loan Documents; (h) any failure, refusal
          or inability of a Borrower to pay any obligation due under the
          Mortgage Loan Documents; or (i) any other occurrence whatsoever,
          whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not any of
          the Seller, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing shall have
          notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing."

     (i) Paragraph 4(a) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "If at any time the Buyer determines in good faith (based on such
          factors as the Buyer determines to rely on in its discretion,
          including, but not limited to, a credit analysis of the Underlying
          Mortgaged Properties and/or the current market conditions for the
          Purchased Assets) that (i) with respect to Purchased Assets other than
          CMBS Securities, the Margin Base for such assets (as determined by the
          Buyer in its good faith discretion on such date) is less than the
          aggregate Purchase Price for all outstanding Transactions other than
          CMBS Securities and/or (ii) with respect to CMBS Securities, the
          Margin Base for such CMBS Securities (as determined by the Buyer in
          its good faith discretion on such date) is less than the Margin
          Amounts for such CMBS Securities (in each case a "Margin Deficit"),
          then the Buyer may by notice to the Seller in the form of Exhibit VIII
          (a "Margin Deficit Notice") require the Seller to transfer to the
          Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Assets in the amount of the Margin
          Deficit to the Buyer by no later than the Margin Correction Deadline.
          All cash transferred to the Buyer pursuant to this Paragraph 4(a)
          shall be deposited in the Collection Account and shall be attributed
          to such Transaction or Transactions as the Buyer shall determine in
          its discretion and shall be applied to reduce the outstanding Purchase
          Price to which it has been attributed. Transfers of Eligible Assets to
          the Buyer under this Paragraph 4(a) shall be subject to the same
          conditions and requirements that are applicable to the transfers of
          Eligible Assets under Paragraph 3(a). Notwithstanding anything
          contained herein to the contrary, the rights of the Buyer under this
          Paragraph 4(a) to require the elimination of the Margin Deficit may
          also be exercised whenever such a Margin Deficit exists with respect
          to any single or multiple Transactions hereunder (calculated without
          regard to the other Transaction outstanding under this Repurchase
          Agreement). The Buyer's election, in its discretion, not to deliver a
          Margin Deficit Notice at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not
          waive the Margin Deficit or in any way limit or impair the Buyer's
          right to deliver a Margin Deficit Notice at any time the same or any
          other Margin Deficit exists."

     (j) Paragraph 4(b) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety (the terms "Margin Excess", "Seller's Margin Percentage" and
"Seller's Margin Amount" shall be disregarded entirely and be of no effect
wherever they appear in the Master Repurchase Agreement).

                                   Annex I-39

     (k) Paragraph 4(c) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety.

     (l) Paragraph 4(d) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "Any cash transferred pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Repurchase
          Agreement shall be attributable to Transactions in the manner required
          by Annex 1."

     (m) Paragraph 4(e) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is deleted in its
entirety.

     (n) Paragraph 4(f) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety.

     (o) Paragraph 5 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "The Buyer shall be entitled to receive for application in accordance
          with the provisions of this Repurchase Agreement an amount equal to
          all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of the Purchased
          Items, which amount shall be deposited by the Seller, each Servicer
          and each PSA Servicer and all other applicable Persons into the
          Collection Account. The Seller hereby agrees to instruct each
          Servicer, PSA Servicer, Swap Counterparty, each counterparty under any
          other Interest Rate Protection Agreement and all other applicable
          Persons to transfer all Income with respect to the Purchased Items in
          accordance with Section 5 of this Repurchase Agreement, who shall hold
          any funds so received pending application pursuant to the following
          sentence. On each Payment Date, any amounts received by the Buyer and
          deposited to the Collection Account since the immediately preceding
          Payment Date shall be applied as follows: first, to the extent not
          paid, to the payment of all outstanding fees, costs and expenses due
          to the Custodian under the Custodial Fee Letter, second, to the
          payment of all fees, costs, expenses and advances then due to the
          Buyer pursuant to the Repurchase Documents, other than the items
          covered in third through ninth; third, to the payment of outstanding
          Late Payment Fees and Price Differential at the Post-Default Rate,
          fourth, pari passu and pro-rata (based on the amounts owed to such
          Persons under this clause fourth), to the payment of accrued and
          unpaid Price Differential on the Purchased Assets then due to the
          Buyer and to the Swap Counterparty any Net Swap Payments then due to
          the Swap Counterparty for the current and any prior Payment Dates
          (other than Swap Breakage Costs); fifth, to the extent not previously
          paid by the Seller, to pay the Repurchase Price for Purchased Assets
          then subject to a request to repurchase in accordance with the terms
          of Paragraph 3(b) of this Repurchase Agreement; sixth, without
          limiting the Seller's obligations to cure Margin Deficits in a timely
          manner in accordance with Paragraph 4 of this Repurchase Agreement, to
          the Buyer for the payment of, as applicable, any Margin Deficit
          outstanding; seventh, to the extent any Income includes payments or
          prepayments of principal on the underlying Purchased Assets, such
          payments shall be applied to reduce the aggregate Repurchase Price
          outstanding; provided, however, prior to an Event of Default and
          provided no Margin Deficit is outstanding, only an amount equal to the
          product of the Advance Rate and the amount of such principal payment
          or prepayment shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price
          outstanding for the related Transaction; eighth, without limiting the
          Seller's obligations under Paragraph 3(c) of this Repurchase Agreement
          and to the extent not paid previously by the Seller, to the Buyer for
          the reduction of the Purchase Price outstanding in accordance with
          Paragraph 3(c) of this Repurchase Agreement; ninth, pari passu and
          pro-rata (based on the amounts owed to

                                   Annex I-40

          such Persons under this clause ninth), to the payment of Breakage
          Costs, if any, Swap Breakage Costs, if any, Indemnified Amounts, if
          any, Increased Costs, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and all
          other amounts then due and owing to the Buyer, the Swap Counterparty,
          any Affected Party or any other Person pursuant to the Repurchase
          Documents; and tenth, the remainder to the Seller, for such purposes
          as the Seller shall determine in its discretion, subject to the
          Financial Covenants and other requirements of the Repurchase
          Documents; provided, however, that if a Margin Deficit, Default or
          Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts collected
          pursuant to this Paragraph 5 of this Repurchase Agreement shall not be
          transferred to the Seller but shall be retained by the Buyer and
          applied in reduction of the Obligations."

     (p) Paragraph 6 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "(a) Grant of Security Interest.

          (i) Each of the following items or types of property, whether now
          owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and

          replacements, substitutions, conversions, distributions on or proceeds
          of, from or on any and all of the foregoing; provided, however, none
          of the foregoing Purchased Items shall include any obligations.

          (ii) The Buyer and the Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder
          be sales to the Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from the
          Buyer to the Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order
          to preserve the Buyer's rights under this Repurchase Agreement in the
          event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions
          hereunder as loans and as security for (A) the repayment of the
          Aggregate Unpaids and performance by the Seller of all of the Seller's
          obligations to the Buyer hereunder and under the Repurchase Documents
          and the Transactions entered into hereunder (collectively, the
          "Repurchase Obligations"), (B) the Seller-Related Obligations and (C)
          all expenses and charges, legal or otherwise, incurred in collecting
          or enforcing, realizing on or protecting any security for, the
          Repurchase Obligations and/or the Seller Related Obligations (the
          amounts described in the foregoing clauses A-C are collectively
          referred to as the "Obligations"), (a) the Seller hereby assigns,
          pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and
          interest in, to and under the Purchased Items to the Buyer (on behalf
          of the Buyer and the Swap Counterparty) to secure the Obligations, (b)
          it is the express intent of the parties that conveyance of the
          Purchased Items be deemed a pledge of the Purchased Items by the
          Seller to the Buyer (on behalf of the Buyer and the Swap Counterparty)
          to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller, and (c) (i) this
          Repurchase Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement
          within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC of the applicable
          jurisdiction; (ii) the conveyance provided for herein shall be deemed
          to be a grant by the Seller to the Buyer (on behalf of the Buyer and
          the Swap Counterparty) of a security interest in all of the Seller's
          right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Items; (iii) the
          assignment by the Buyer (on behalf of the Buyer and the Swap
          Counterparty) of the interest of the Buyer as contemplated herein
          shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
          hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Buyer or any of its agents,
          including, without limitation, the Custodian, of the Mortgage Loan
          Documents, the Purchased Items and such other items of Property as
          constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper
          shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of
          perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (v)
          notifications to Persons (other than the Buyer and the Swap
          Counterparty) holding such Property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
          confirmations from Persons (other than the Buyer and the Swap
          Counterparty) holding such Property, shall be deemed notifications to,
          or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
          intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party
          for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and
          Applicable Law. The assignment, pledge and grant of security interest
          contained herein shall be, and the Seller hereby represents and
          warrants to the Buyer and the Swap Counterparty that it is, a first
          priority perfected security interest. The Seller agrees to mark its
          computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to the
          Buyer (on behalf of the Buyer and the Swap Counterparty) hereunder.
          All Purchased Items shall secure the payment of all Obligations now or

                                   Annex I-42

          hereafter existing, including, without limitation, the Seller's
          obligation to repurchase Purchased Assets, or if such obligation is so
          recharacterized as a loan, to repay such loan for the Repurchase Price
          and to pay the Aggregate Unpaids and any and all other Obligations.
          For the avoidance of doubt and not by way of limitation of the
          foregoing, (A) each Purchased Asset, including all Income related
          thereto, secures the obligations of the Seller with respect to all
          other Transactions and the obligations with respect to all other
          Purchased Assets, including those Purchased Assets that are junior in
          priority to the Purchased Asset in question, and (B) if there is an
          Event of Default, no Purchased Item will be released from the Buyer's
          Lien or transferred to the Seller until the Obligations are
          indefeasibly paid in full. All references in this Repurchase Agreement
          and the other Repurchase Documents to the Buyer as the secured party
          or the rights of the Buyer as the secured party shall be deemed to
          include the Swap Counterparty as a secured party and the rights of the
          Swap Counterparty as a secured party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          the Indebtedness of the Seller under the Obligations shall be full
          recourse to the Seller.

          (iii) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall hold
          the Mortgage Asset Files as exclusive bailee pursuant to the terms of
          the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver the Trust Receipts (along
          with completed Mortgage Asset File Checklists attached thereto) to the
          Buyer (with a copy to the Seller), each such Trust Receipt to reflect
          that the Custodian has reviewed such Mortgage Asset Files in the
          manner and to the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and
          identifying any deficiencies in such Mortgage Asset Files as so
          reviewed.

          (iv) The assignment under this Paragraph 6 does not constitute and is
          not intended to result in the creation or an assumption by the Buyer
          of any obligation of the Seller or any other Person in connection with
          any or all of the Purchased Items or under any agreement or instrument
          relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i)
          the Seller shall remain liable under the Purchased Items to the extent
          set forth therein to perform all of their duties and obligations
          thereunder to the same extent as if the Repurchase Documents had not
          been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Buyer of any of its rights
          under, in or to the Purchased Items shall not release the Seller from
          any of its duties or obligations under the Purchased Items, and (iii)
          the Buyer shall not have any obligations or liability under the
          Purchased Items by reason of the Repurchase Documents or otherwise,
          nor shall the Buyer be obligated to perform any of the obligations or
          duties of the Seller or any other Person thereunder or to take any
          action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

          (b) Release of Lien on Purchased Assets. Except as otherwise provided
          in a Repurchase Document, at such time as any Purchased Asset is
          repurchased in accordance with this Repurchase Agreement, and the
          Repurchase Price and all other amounts due with respect thereto have
          been paid in full, the Buyer shall release its interest in such
          Purchased Asset and any related Purchased Items; provided, that, the
          Buyer will make no representation or warranty, express or implied,
          with respect to any such Purchased Asset or Purchased Items in
          connection with such release (other than with respect to Liens created
          by the Buyer), and any transfer of such Purchased Items shall be
          without recourse to or the expense of the Buyer.

          (c) Further Assurances. The provisions of Section 19 of this
          Repurchase Agreement shall apply to the security interest granted
          under Paragraph 6 of this Repurchase Agreement as well as to the
          Transactions hereunder.

                                   Annex I-43

          (d) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Buyer
          shall have, with respect to the security interest in the Purchased
          Items granted pursuant to Paragraph 6 of this Repurchase Agreement,
          and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the
          Buyer under this Repurchase Agreement, the Repurchase Documents and
          other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon
          default under the UCC."

     (q) Paragraph 7 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "All of the Seller's right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets
          that constitute CMBS Securities shall pass to the Buyer on the
          applicable Purchase Date. The Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a
          complete set of all transfer documents to be completed by the Buyer
          and executed copies of any transfer documents to be completed by the
          Seller, in either case in blank, but in form sufficient to allow
          transfer and registration of such Purchased Assets to the Buyer no
          later than the proposed Purchase Date for the relevant Purchased
          Asset, and such CMBS Securities shall be medallion guaranteed. All
          transfers of certificated securities from the Seller to the Buyer
          shall be effected by physical delivery to the Buyer of the Purchased
          Assets (duly endorsed by the Seller, in blank) together with a stock
          power executed by the Seller, in blank. With respect to Purchased
          Assets that shall be delivered through the DTC or the National Book
          Entry System of the Federal Reserve, as applicable, in book-entry form
          and credited to or otherwise held in an account, the Seller shall take
          such actions necessary to provide instruction to the relevant
          financial institution, clearing corporation, securities intermediary
          or other entity, to effect and perfect a legally valid delivery of the
          relevant interest granted herein to the Buyer hereunder to be held in
          the Securities Account. Purchased Assets delivered in book-entry form
          shall be under the custody of and held in the name of the Buyer in the
          Securities Account."

     (r) Paragraph 8 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "Title to all Purchased Items shall pass to the Buyer, and the Buyer
          shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Items subject to
          the terms of this Repurchase Agreement. Nothing in this Repurchase
          Agreement shall preclude the Buyer from engaging in repurchase
          transactions with the Purchased Items or otherwise selling, pledging,
          syndicating, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or
          rehypothecating the Purchased Items, all on terms that the Buyer may
          determine in its discretion subject, however, to the Buyer's
          obligations to apply Income and reconvey the Purchased Assets to the
          Seller in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing contained in this
          Repurchase Agreement shall obligate the Buyer to segregate any
          Purchased Items transferred to the Buyer by the Seller. Nothing
          contained in this Repurchase Agreement shall prohibit the Buyer from
          causing Purchased Items purchased hereunder to be transferred or
          re-allocated to one or more other facilities in its discretion.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall reconvey, without recourse,

          clear of all Liens created by the Buyer, in accordance with the terms
          of this Repurchase Agreement."

                                   Annex I-44

     (t) Paragraph 10 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "The Seller represents and warrants, as of the date of this Repurchase
          Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while any
          Repurchase Document and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and
          effect, as follows:

          (a) Organization and Good Standing. Each of the Seller and the
          Guarantor has been duly organized, and is validly existing as a
          limited liability company, with respect to the Seller, and as a
          corporation, with respect to the Guarantor, in good standing, under
          the laws of the State of Delaware and Maryland, respectively, with all
          requisite power and authority to own or lease its Properties and
          conduct its business as such business is presently conducted, and had,
          at all relevant times, and now has, all necessary power, authority and
          legal right to acquire, own, sell and pledge the Purchased Items.

          (b) Due Qualification. Each of the Seller and the Guarantor is duly
          qualified to do business and is in good standing as a limited
          liability company or corporation, as applicable, and has obtained all
          necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the
          ownership or lease its Property or the conduct of its business
          requires such qualification, licenses or approvals.

          (c) Power and Authority; Due Authorization; Execution and Delivery.
          Each of the Seller and the Guarantor (i) has all necessary power,
          authority and legal right (A) to execute and deliver the Repurchase
          Documents to which it is a party, (B) to carry out and perform the
          terms of the Repurchase Documents to which it is a party, and (C) to
          sell, assign and pledge the Purchased Items on the terms and
          conditions provided herein but subject to the terms of the Mortgage
          Loan Documents, and (ii) has duly authorized by all necessary
          corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, (A) the
          execution, delivery and performance of the Repurchase Documents to
          which it is a party, and (B) the sale, assignment and pledge of the
          Purchased Items on the terms and conditions herein provided. The
          Repurchase Documents to which the Seller or the Guarantor is a party
          have been duly executed and delivered by the Seller and the Guarantor.

          (d) Binding Obligation. Each of the Repurchase Documents to which each
          of the Seller and the Guarantor is a party constitutes a legal, valid
          and binding obligation of the Seller and the Guarantor, enforceable
          against the Seller and the Guarantor in accordance with its respective
          terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Insolvency Laws
          and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at
          law or in equity).

          (e) Security Interest.

          (i) This Repurchase Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents
          constitute a valid transfer to the Buyer of all right, title and
          interest of the Seller in, to and under all Purchased Items, free and
          clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Seller,
          the Guarantor, the Pledgor or any of their Affiliates, except for
          Permitted Liens and the Seller's repurchase rights described herein,
          and is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the
          Seller. If the conveyances contemplated by this Repurchase Agreement
          are determined to be transfers for security, then this Repurchase
          Agreement constitutes a grant of a security interest in all Purchased
          Items to the Buyer, that, upon the delivery of the Confirmations, the
          Assignments and Mortgage Asset Files to the

                                   Annex I-45

          Custodian and the filing of the financing statements described in
          Section 3, shall be a first priority perfected security interest in
          all Purchased Items to the extent such Purchased Items can be
          perfected by possession, by filing or control, subject only to
          Permitted Liens. Neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through or
          under the Seller shall have any claim to or interest in the Collection
          Account or the Securities Account, except for the interest of the
          Seller in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC;

          (ii) Other than the Lien and transfers contemplated hereunder, the
          Seller has not sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise
          conveyed any of the Purchased Items to any Person, and, immediately
          prior to the sale to the Buyer, the Seller was the sole owner of such
          Purchased Items, and the Seller owns and has good and marketable title
          to the Purchased Items free and clear of any Lien (other than
          Permitted Liens);

          (iii) The Seller has received all consents and approvals, if any,
          required by the terms of any Purchased Items to the sale and granting
          of a security interest in the Purchased Items hereunder to the Buyer;

          (iv) Upon execution and delivery of the Account Agreement and the
          Securities Account Agreement, the Buyer shall either be the owner of,
          or have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest
          in, the Collection Account and the Securities Account and the
          securities, deposits, investment property and other Purchased Items
          contained therein;

          (v) The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of
          any financing statements against the Seller as debtor that include a
          description of collateral covering the Purchased Items other than any
          financing statement (A) that has been terminated, or (B) granted
          pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement. The Seller is not aware of the
          filing of any judgment or tax Lien filings against the Seller;

          (vi) None of the Mortgage Loan Documents has any marks or notations
          indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to
          any Person other than the Buyer.

          (f) Tax Liens. Each of the Seller and the Guarantor have timely filed
          returns for and, subject to the next sentence, paid all applicable
          federal, state, and local Taxes. The Seller and the Guarantor
          represents and warrants that there are no delinquent federal, state,
          city, county or other Taxes relating to such Person, the Purchased
          Items or any arrangement pursuant to which the Purchased Items are
          issued, except those relating to the Seller or Guarantor that are
          being contested by such Person, in good faith and with respect to
          which payment has been stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          (g) Financial Statements. Each of the Seller and the Guarantor
          represents and warrants that, since the date of the financial
          statements heretofore most recently delivered by such Person (which
          such Person represents and warrants to be the most recent financial
          statement), there has been no development or event (or prospective
          development or event), that would constitute a material adverse change
          in such Person's financial condition or results of operations or any
          other Material Adverse Effect.

          (h) No Proceedings. There is no litigation, proceeding or
          investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Seller or the
          Guarantor, threatened in writing against the Seller or the Guarantor,
          before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of

                                   Annex I-46

          the Repurchase Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of
          any of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Documents to
          which the Seller or the Guarantor is a party, or (iii) seeking any
          determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have
          Material Adverse Effect.

          (i) No Violation or Defaults. The consummation of the transactions
          contemplated by the Repurchase Documents to which each of the Seller
          and the Guarantor is a party and the fulfillment of the terms of the
          Repurchase Documents will not (i) conflict with, result in any breach
          of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without
          notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the Seller's or the
          Guarantor's, as applicable, Governing Documents or any material
          Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation or Contractual Obligation of the
          Seller or the Guarantor, as applicable, (ii) result in the creation or
          imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the
          Seller's or the Guarantor's Properties pursuant to the terms of any
          such Indebtedness, Contractual Obligation or Guarantee Obligation
          other than this Repurchase Agreement, or (iii) violate any Applicable
          Law.

          (j) All Consents Required. All approvals, authorizations, consents,
          orders or other actions of any Person or of any Governmental Authority
          (if any) required for the due execution, delivery and performance by
          the Seller and the Guarantor of the Repurchase Documents to which each
          is a party (including the transfer of and the grant of a security
          interest in the Purchased Items) have been obtained, effected, waived
          or given and are in full force and effect.

          (k) Bulk Sales. The execution, delivery and performance of this
          Repurchase Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents and the
          transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not require compliance
          with any "bulk sales" act or similar law by the Seller or the
          Guarantor.

          (l) No Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred
          and is continuing hereunder.

          (m) Insurance. Each of the Seller and the Guarantor has and maintains,
          with respect to its Properties and business, insurance which meets the
          requirements of Section 5(r) of this Repurchase Agreement. In

          constitute or constituted a violation of, or reasonably could be
          expected to give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws;

          (ii) Each of the Seller and the Guarantor is in compliance, and has in
          the last five (5) years (or such shorter period as the Seller and/or

          all applicable Environmental Laws, and, to the knowledge of the Seller
          and the Guarantor, there is no violation of any Environmental

                                   Annex I-47

          Laws that reasonably could be expected to interfere with the continued
          operations of the Seller or the Guarantor;

          (iii) Neither the Seller nor the Guarantor has received any notice of
          violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential

          to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law, nor has any of
          them generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of
          the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that reasonably could

          due diligence in connection with the origination or acquisition of
          each Purchased Asset for purposes of such laws and the

                                   Annex I-48

          acquisition of each of the Purchased Assets by the Seller, its agents

          Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who
          Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079
          (2001)), (ii) who engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited
          by Section 2 of such executive order, or, to the Seller's and the
          Guarantor's actual knowledge, is otherwise associated with any such
          Person in any manner violative of Section 2 of such executive order,
          or (iii) on the current list of Specially Designated Nationals and
          Blocked Persons or subject to the limitations or prohibitions under
          any other U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets
          Control regulation or executive order.

          (r) Certain Tax Matters. Each of the Seller and the Guarantor
          represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees, that it does not intend
          to treat any Transaction or any related transactions hereunder as
          being a "reportable transaction" (within the meaning of United States
          Treasury Department Regulation Section 1.6011-4). In the event that
          the Seller or the Guarantor determines to take any action inconsistent
          with such intention, it will promptly notify the Buyer. If the Seller
          or the Guarantor so notifies the Buyer, the Seller or Guarantor, as
          applicable, acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer may treat each
          Transaction as part of a transaction that is subject to United States
          Treasury Department Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and the Buyer will
          maintain the lists and other records required by such Treasury
          Regulation.

          (s) True and Complete Disclosure. Each of the Seller and the Guarantor
          represents and warrants that the information, reports, financial
          statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on
          behalf of the Seller or the Guarantor to the Buyer in connection with
          the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Repurchase Agreement
          and the other Repurchase Documents or included herein or therein or
          delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole, do not
          contain any untrue statement of material fact or knowingly omit to
          state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or
          therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading. There is no fact known to the Seller or the Guarantor,
          after due inquiry, that would reasonably be expected to have a
          Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein or in a
          report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or
          other writing furnished to the Buyer for use in connection with the
          transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. All written information
          furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of the Seller or the
          Guarantor to the Buyer in connection with this Repurchase Agreement or
          the other Repurchase Documents and the transactions contemplated
          hereby and thereby will be true, complete and accurate in all material
          respects, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable
          estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or
          certified.

                                   Annex I-49

          (t) Solvency. None of this Repurchase Agreement, any other Repurchase
          Document or any Transaction hereunder is entered into in contemplation
          of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the
          Seller's or the Guarantor's creditors. The transfer of the Purchased
          Items subject hereto, the obligation to repurchase such Purchased
          Items and the entering into of the Repurchase Documents (including the
          Guaranty) are not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or
          defraud any of the Seller's or the Guarantor's creditors. As of each
          Purchase Date, the Seller and the Guarantor are and will be Solvent,
          and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Items pursuant hereto, the
          obligation to repurchase such Purchased Items and the entering into of
          the Repurchase Documents (including the Guaranty) will not render any
          such party not Solvent. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed
          against either Seller or the Guarantor in the last ten (10) years, and
          neither the Seller nor the Guarantor has in the last ten (10) years
          made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of
          any debtor relief laws.

          (u) Exchange Act Compliance; Regulations T, U and X. None of the
          Transactions contemplated herein (including, without limitation, the
          use of the proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Items) will violate
          or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act, or any
          regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation,
          Regulations T, U and X. Neither the Seller nor the Guarantor owns or
          intends to carry or purchase, and no proceeds from the Transactions
          will be used to carry or purchase, any "margin stock" within the
          meaning of Regulation U or to extend "purpose credit" within the
          meaning of Regulation U.

          (v) ERISA Compliance. (A) Neither the Seller nor Guarantor has
          established nor maintained any Plan; and (B) each of Seller and
          Guarantor either (1) qualifies as an Operating Company; (2) complies
          with an exception set forth in the Plan Asset Regulations such that
          the assets of such Person would not be subject to Title I of ERISA or
          Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; or (3) does not hold any
          Plan Assets that are subject to ERISA.

          (w) Eligibility of Purchased Assets. With respect to each Purchased
          Asset, to the Seller's actual knowledge, the Seller is not aware of
          any material exception to or non-compliance with the eligibility
          criteria set forth on Schedule 1 to this Repurchase Agreement
          applicable to such Purchased Asset.

          (x) Interest Rate Protection Agreements. Each of the Seller and the
          Guarantor represents and warrants that no "default" has occurred or is
          continuing under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement.

          (y) Tradenames. The exact legal name of each of the Seller and the
          Guarantor is set forth on the signature pages to this Repurchase
          Agreement. Neither of the Seller nor the Guarantor has any trade
          names, fictitious names, assumed names or "doing business as" names or
          other names under which it has done or is doing business.

          (z) Ongoing Representations. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction
          and on each day that a Purchased Asset remains subject to this
          Repurchase Agreement, the Seller shall be deemed to restate and make
          each of the representations and warranties made by it in this
          Paragraph 10 of this Repurchase Agreement.

          (aa) Value Given. The Seller shall have given reasonably equivalent
          value to each Transferor in consideration for the transfer to the
          Seller of the Purchased Items under the

                                   Annex I-50

          applicable Purchase Agreement, no such transfer shall have been made
          for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Transferor
          thereunder to the Seller, and no such transfer is or may be voidable
          or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.

          (bb) [RESERVED].

          (cc) Compliance. Each of the Seller and the Guarantor has complied in
          all material respects (i) with all Applicable Laws to which it may be
          subject, and no Purchased Item contravenes any Applicable Laws
          (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating
          to licensing, truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit
          reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices
          and privacy) and (ii) all Contractual Obligations, Indebtedness and
          Guarantee Obligations.

          (dd) Income. The Seller acknowledges that all Income received by it or
          its Affiliates and the Servicers and PSA Servicers with respect to the
          Purchased Items sold hereunder are held in trust and shall be held in
          trust for the benefit of the Buyer until deposited into the Collection
          Account as required herein.

          (ee) Set-Off, etc. No Purchased Item has been compromised, adjusted,
          extended, satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, set-off or modified by
          the Seller, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing, and no
          Purchased Item is subject to compromise, adjustment, extension (except
          as set forth in the related Mortgage Asset File), satisfaction,
          subordination, rescission, set-off, counterclaim, defense, abatement,
          suspension, deferment, deduction, reduction, termination or
          modification, whether arising out of transactions concerning the
          Purchased Item or otherwise, by the Seller, the Guarantor or any
          Affiliate of the foregoing, except for amendments to such Purchased
          Items otherwise permitted under Section 6(e)(iii) of this Repurchase
          Agreement.

          (ff) Full Payment. The Seller or the Guarantor has knowledge of any
          fact that should lead it to expect that any Purchased Asset will not
          be paid in full.

          (gg) Assignments. The Assignments do not violate any provisions of the
          underlying Mortgage Loan Documents, such documents do not contain any
          express or implied prohibitions on sales or assignments of the
          Purchased Assets to national banks, and such agreements are valid,
          binding and enforceable against the Seller.

          (hh) Acting as Principal. The Seller will engage in such Transactions
          as principal, or, if agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction
          by the Buyer, as agent for a disclosed principal.

          (ii) No Broker. Neither the Seller, the Guarantor nor any Affiliate of
          the foregoing has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or
          other Person, except for the Buyer (or an Affiliate of the Buyer), who
          may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with
          the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement.

          (jj) Ability to Perform. Neither the Seller nor the Guarantor
          believes, nor do they have any reason or cause to believe, that it
          cannot perform each and every agreement and covenant contained in the
          Repurchase Documents applicable to it and to which it is a party.

                                   Annex I-51

          (kk) Financial Condition.

          (i) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor and its
          Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the fiscal year ending December 31,
          2004 provided to the Buyer and the related audited consolidated
          statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the
          year then ended, setting forth in each case in comparative form the
          figures for the previous year, reported on without a "going concern"
          or like qualification arising out of the scope of the audit conducted
          by Ernst & Young LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished
          to the Buyer, are complete and correct and present fairly the
          consolidated financial condition of the Guarantor and its Consolidated
          Subsidiaries of the foregoing as of such date, and the consolidated
          results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the
          fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the
          related schedules and notes thereto (if any), have been prepared in
          accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods
          involved (except as disclosed therein). Neither the Guarantor nor any
          of its Consolidated Subsidiaries had, as of the date of the most
          recent balance sheet referred to above, any material contingent
          liability or liability for taxes, or any long term lease or unusual
          forward or long term commitment, including, without limitation, any
          interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or
          other financial derivative, that is not reflected in the foregoing
          statements or in the notes thereto. During the period from December
          31, 2004 to and including the date hereof, there has been no sale,
          transfer or other disposition by the Seller, the Guarantor or any
          Consolidated Subsidiaries of the foregoing of any material part of
          their business or Property and no purchase or other acquisition of any
          business or Property (including any Capital Stock of any other Person)
          material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the
          Seller, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiaries of the
          foregoing on the date hereof other than (A) the sale of 729 7th Avenue
          and (B) the repayment of approximately $25,000,000 of mortgage debt.

          (ii) The operating forecast and cash flow projections of the Seller,
          the Guarantor and any Consolidated Subsidiaries of the foregoing,
          copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Buyer, have been
          prepared in good faith under the direction of a Responsible Officer of
          the Seller and the Guarantor and in accordance with GAAP. Neither the
          Seller nor the Guarantor has any reason to believe that as of the date
          of delivery thereof such operating forecast and cash flow projections
          are materially incorrect or misleading in any material respect or omit
          to state any material fact which would render them misleading in any
          material respect.

          (ll) Servicing Agreements. The Seller has delivered to the Buyer all
          Servicing Agreements and all Pooling and Servicing Agreements with
          respect to the Purchased Assets, and, to the best of the Seller's
          knowledge, no material default or event of default exists thereunder.

          (mm) Seller's Indebtedness. The Seller has no Indebtedness or
          Contractual Obligations other than (i) ordinary trade payables, (ii)
          in connection with Mortgage Assets originated or acquired for this
          Facility and (iii) the Repurchase Documents. The Seller has no
          Guarantee Obligations.

          (nn) [RESERVED].

          (oo) Purchased Assets. (i) There are no outstanding rights, options,
          warrants or agreements for the purchase, sale or issuance of the
          Purchased Assets created by, through,

                                   Annex I-52

          or as a result of the Seller's or the Guarantor's actions or
          inactions; (ii) there are no agreements on the part of the Seller or
          the Guarantor to issue, sell or distribute the Purchased Assets, other
          than this Repurchase Agreement, and (iii) other than this Repurchase
          Agreement, the Seller has no obligation (contingent or otherwise) to
          purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities or any interest
          therein or to pay any dividend or make any distribution in respect of
          the Purchased Assets.

          (pp) No Defenses. To the actual knowledge of the Seller and the
          Guarantor, there are no defenses, offsets, counterclaims, abatements,
          rights of rescission or other claims, legal or equitable, available to
          the Seller or the Guarantor or any other Person with respect to this
          Repurchase Agreement, the Engagement Letter, the Repurchase Documents,
          any other instrument, document and/or agreement described herein or
          therein (including, without limitation, the validity or enforceability
          of any of the foregoing) or with respect to the obligation of the
          Seller and the Guarantor to repay the Aggregate Unpaids and other
          amounts due hereunder.

          (qq) Separateness. As of the date hereof, the Seller (i) owns no
          assets, and does not engage in any business, other than the assets and
          transactions intended to be transferred to the Buyer under this
          Repurchase Agreement; (ii) has not incurred any indebtedness or
          obligation, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or

          which may become Eligible Assets, and (C) as permitted herein; (iii)
          has not made any loans or advances to any Affiliate other than loans

          been heretofore amended; (vii) maintains all of its books, records,
          financial statements and bank accounts separate from those of its
          Affiliates (except that such financial statements may be consolidated

          applied or as a matter of Applicable Law); (viii) is, and at all times
          holds itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and
          distinct from any other entity (including any Affiliate), corrects any
          known misunderstanding regarding its status as a separate entity,

          sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for the Seller or a

          the benefit of the

          yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such
          Transaction shall be deemed immediately cancelled without any
          liability to the Buyer). The Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence
          of an Insolvency of the Seller, the Guarantor, the Pledgor or, subject
          to Paragraph 11(iii) of the Repurchase Agreement, any of their
          Affiliates) give notice to the Seller of the exercise of such option
          as promptly as practicable.

          (ii) If the Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
          referred to in Paragraph 11(a)(i) of this Repurchase Agreement,

          (A) (1) the Seller's obligations in such Transactions to repurchase
          all Purchased Items, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the
          Repurchase Date, and, without duplication, to pay the Aggregate
          Unpaids and all other Obligations hereunder and under the other
          Repurchase Documents, shall thereupon become immediately due and
          payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise
          shall be retained by the Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid
          Repurchase Price, the Aggregate Unpaids and any other Obligations, and
          (3) the Seller shall immediately deliver to the Buyer any Purchased
          Items subject to such Transactions then in the Seller's possession or
          control; and

          (B) all Income actually received by the Buyer pursuant to Paragraph
          3(e)(i) of this Repurchase Agreement (excluding any Late Payment Fees
          paid pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Repurchase Agreement) shall be
          applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and Aggregate Unpaids
          and any other Obligations, in such order as the Buyer shall determine
          in its discretion.

          (iii) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, and
          subject to Section 6(n) of this Repurchase Agreement, the Buyer shall
          have the right to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records
          (subject to the provisions of the Custodial Agreement), the Servicing
          Files, the Servicing Agreements and all other files of the Seller or
          any third party acting for the Seller relating to the Purchased Items
          and all documents relating to the Purchased Items which are then or
          may thereafter come into the possession of the Seller or any third
          party acting for the Seller, and the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer
          such assignments as the Buyer shall request (all of the foregoing
          being at the

                                   Annex I-56

          expense of the Seller), and the Buyer shall have the right to appoint
          any Person to act as the Servicer for the Purchased Assets.

          (iv) At any time after the second (2nd) Business Day following notice
          to the Seller (which notice may be the notice given under Paragraph
          11(a)(i) of this Repurchase Agreement), in the event the Seller have
          not repurchased all Purchased Items, the Buyer may (A) immediately
          sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or
          private sale and at such price or prices as the Buyer may deem
          reasonably satisfactory any or all Purchased Items subject to such
          Transactions hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate
          unpaid Repurchase Price, the Aggregate Unpaids and all other
          Obligations, or (B) in its discretion, elect, in lieu of selling all
          or a portion of such Purchased Items, to give the Seller credit for
          such Purchased Items in an amount equal to the Market Value (as
          determined by the Buyer in its discretion) of the Purchased Items
          against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price, the Aggregate Unpaids
          and all other Obligations. The proceeds of any disposition of
          Purchased Items shall be applied first to the costs and expenses
          incurred by the Buyer in connection with the Seller's default; second
          to the costs of related covering and/or related hedging transactions;
          third to the Repurchase Price; fourth to the Aggregate Unpaids and any
          other Obligations; and fifth, to the Seller.

          (v) Each Party hereto agrees that the other Party may obtain an
          injunction or an order of specific performance to compel such other
          party to fulfill any of its obligations as set forth in the Repurchase
          Documents if such other party fails or refuses to perform its
          obligations as set forth therein.

          (vi) The Seller shall be liable to the Buyer, payable as and when
          incurred by the Buyer, for (A) the amount of all reasonable actual
          out-of-pocket expenses, including legal or other expenses incurred by
          the Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of
          Default, and (B) all reasonable costs incurred in connection with
          hedging or covering transactions.

          (iii) The Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any
          rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or
          Applicable Law.

          (b) The Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to
          the Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and,
          except to the extent provided in Paragraph 11(a)(i) and 11(a)(iv) of
          this Repurchase Agreement, at any time thereafter without notice to
          the Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Repurchase
          Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents, as amended from time to
          time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies
          that the Buyer may have.

          (c) The Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without
          prior judicial process or hearing, and the Seller and the Guarantor
          hereby expressly waives any defenses the Seller, the Guarantor or the
          Pledgor might otherwise have to require the Buyer to enforce its
          rights by judicial process. The Seller and the Guarantor also waives
          any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) the
          Seller, the Guarantor and/or the Pledgor might otherwise have arising
          from the use of non-judicial process, enforcement and sale of all or
          any portion of the Purchased Items, or from any other election of
          remedies. The Seller, the Guarantor and the Pledgor recognize that
          non-

                                   Annex I-57

          judicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are
          responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at
          arm's-length.

          (d) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Seller shall be
          liable to the Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by the Seller
          hereunder, from the date the Seller becomes liable for such amounts
          hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by the Seller or
          (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the Buyer's rights
          hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the Seller to the Buyer
          under this Paragraph 11(d) shall accrue interest from and after the
          date of the Event of Default and while such Event of Default is
          continuing at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

          (e) In addition to the rights under this Paragraph 11, during the
          continuance of an Event of Default, the Buyer shall no longer be
          obligated to enter into any additional Transactions pursuant to any
          outstanding Confirmation and the Buyer shall have the following
          additional rights if an Event of Default exists:

          (i) The Buyer, the Seller and the Guarantor agree and acknowledge that
          the Purchased Assets constitute collateral that may decline rapidly in
          value. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
          Repurchase Agreement, the Buyer shall not be required to give notice
          to the Seller or the Guarantor prior to exercising any remedy in
          respect of an Event of Default. If no prior notice is given, the Buyer
          shall give notice to the Seller of the remedies affected by the Buyer
          promptly thereafter. The Buyer shall act in good faith in exercising
          its rights pursuant to this Paragraph 11(e).

          (ii) The Buyer may, in its discretion, elect to hold any Purchased
          Asset for its own account and earn the related interest on the full
          face amount thereof.

          (f) In making a determination as to whether an Event of Default has
          occurred, the Buyer shall be entitled to rely on reports published or
          broadcast by media sources believed by the Buyer to be generally
          reliable and on information provided to it by any other sources
          believed by it to be generally reliable, provided that the Buyer
          reasonably and in good faith believes such information to be accurate.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Repurchase Documents to
          the contrary, neither the Seller, the Guarantor, the Pledgor nor any
          other Person shall be permitted to cure an Event of Default after the
          acceleration of any of the Obligations.

          (h) Subject to Paragraphs 3(k) and 17(d), Sections 8 and 9 and other
          similar provisions contained in the Repurchase Documents, the Seller
          and the Guarantor shall have all remedies available to them at law or
          equity for any breach of this Repurchase Agreement by the Buyer."

     (v) Paragraph 12 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the final sentence therein in its entirety and the following is
substituted therefor:

          "Accordingly, each of the Seller and the Guarantor agrees (i) to
          perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction
          hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such
          obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all
          Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other
          transfers made by it or others on its behalf in respect of any
          Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of
          payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other

                                   Annex I-58

          Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments,
          deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and
          netted."

     (w) Paragraph 13 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall,
          unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including telex
          communication and communication by facsimile copy) and mailed,
          telexed, transmitted or delivered, as to each party hereto, at its
          address set forth under its name on the signature pages of the Master
          Repurchase Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated
          by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All
          such notices and communications shall be effective, upon receipt, or
          in the case of (a) notice by telex, when telexed against receipt of
          answer back, or (b) notice by facsimile copy, when verbal
          communication of receipt is obtained. Neither the Seller, the
          Guarantor nor the Pledgor shall be entitled to any notices of any
          nature whatsoever from the Buyer except with respect to matters for
          which this Repurchase Agreement or the Repurchase Documents
          specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by the
          Buyer to the Seller, the Guarantor and/or the Pledgor and, except with
          respect to matters for which the Seller, the Guarantor or the Pledgor
          is not, pursuant to Applicable Law, permitted to waive the giving of
          notice."

     (x) Paragraph 15 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "(a) The Buyer may at any time and without the permission of, but with
          contemporaneous notice to, the Seller, sell, assign, transfer, pledge
          or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, its
          rights and interests under the Repurchase Documents (or any portion
          thereof) to any Person; provided, however, that (i) if the Buyer is
          assigning or selling a participation interest in more than 50% of the
          Maximum Amount to a Person that is not a Pre-Approved Buyer and there
          is no Default or Event of Default, then the Seller must first approve
          such assignment or participation (which approval shall not be
          unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) provided there is
          no Event of Default, the Buyer will retain control over decisions
          relating to waivers and consents (including, without limitation,
          Market Value determinations, margin calls, term extensions and
          approval of Eligible Assets) expressly contemplated under the
          Repurchase Documents and (iii) assignments by the Buyer shall be in a
          minimum amount of $5,000,000 unless the Buyer is assigning all of its
          remaining interests under this Repurchase Agreement. The parties to
          any such assignment, grant or sale of participation interest shall
          execute and deliver to the Buyer, for its acceptance and recording in
          its books and records, such agreement or document as may be
          satisfactory to such parties and the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything
          contained in this Paragraph 15(a) to the contrary, after an Event of
          Default that is continuing, the Buyer may sell any Purchased Asset (or
          portion thereof) without the consent of the Seller in accordance with
          the Buyer's exercise of remedies under this Repurchase Agreement.

          (b) The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Buyer at the Buyer's cost
          in connection with any such sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or
          participation and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments,
          supplements and other modifications to, the Repurchase Documents in
          order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale.

                                   Annex I-59

          (c) The Seller shall not assign or delegate, or grant or transfer any
          interest in, or permit any Lien to exist upon, the Seller's rights,
          obligations or duties under this Repurchase Agreement or the
          Repurchase Documents without the prior written consent of the Buyer
          (which consent may be withheld in the Buyer's discretion). Any attempt
          by the Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this
          Repurchase Agreement without the prior written consent of the Buyer
          (which consent may be withheld in the Buyer's discretion) shall be
          null and void."

     (y) Paragraph 16 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF OBJECTION TO VENUE.
          THIS REPURCHASE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
          ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO
          THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
          HEREBY AGREES TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR
          FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE
          PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON
          CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED
          HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE
          GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY
          SUCH COURT."

     (z) Paragraph 17 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

          "(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
          Default, the Buyer shall have, with respect to the security interest
          in the Purchased Assets granted pursuant to Paragraph 6 of this
          Repurchase Agreement, and in addition to all other rights and remedies
          available to the Buyer under this Repurchase Agreement or other
          Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon
          default under the UCC.

          (b) The Seller and the Guarantor agree, to the full extent that it may
          lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or
          under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any
          appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or
          hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Items may be
          situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or
          foreclosure of this Repurchase Agreement, or the absolute sale of any
          of the Purchased Items or any part thereof, or the final and absolute
          putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the
          buyers thereof, and the Seller and the Guarantor, each for itself and
          all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to
          the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all
          such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or
          assets constituting the Purchased Items marshaled upon any such sale,
          and agrees that the Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to
          foreclose the security interests granted in this Repurchase Agreement
          may sell the Purchased Items as an entirety or in such parcels as the
          Buyer or such court may determine.

          (c) No failure on the part of the Buyer to exercise, and no delay in
          exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
          thereof; nor shall any single or partial

                                   Annex I-60

          exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any further
          exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and
          remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
          rights and remedies provided by Applicable Law. Application of the
          Post-Default Rate or increased Pricing Spread after a Default or Event
          of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default
          or Event of Default or any rights or remedies of the Buyer under this
          Repurchase Agreement, any other Repurchase Documents or Applicable
          Law, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or
          performance of any obligation with respect to which the Post-Default
          Rate or increase in Pricing Spread after an Event of Default may be
          invoked.

          (d) In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that the Buyer
          has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
          where by Applicable Law or under this Repurchase Agreement or the
          other Repurchase Documents it has an obligation to act reasonably or
          promptly, the Buyer shall not be liable for any punitive,
          consequential, indirect or special damages in connection therewith or
          any other breach or default by the Buyer, and the Seller's and the
          Guarantor's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action
          seeking injunctive relief, actual damages or declaratory judgment."

     (aa) Paragraph 19(a) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby modified
by adding the following sentence to the end of Paragraph 19(a):

          "It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a "Master Netting
          Agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the
          United State Code."

     (bb) Paragraph 20 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby modified by
deleting the period at the end thereof and by adding the following at the end of
such paragraph:

          "; and (d) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is
          an "insured depository institution" as that term is defined in Section
          1813(c)(2) of Title 12 of the United States Code, funds held by the
          financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a
          deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
          Corporation, the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank
          Insurance Fund, as applicable."

     3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of any Transaction shall,

to the Seller, the Guarantor or any other Person for any act of government, act

care, or Buyer's failure to provide adequate protection or insurance for the
Purchased Items. Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action to preserve
any rights of the Seller in any of the Purchased Items against prior parties,

claims and demands resulting from interests created by Buyer), at all times, as
are adverse to Buyer. Buyer shall have no obligation to realize upon any
Purchased Item, except through proper application of any distributions with
respect to the Purchased Items made directly to Buyer or its agent(s). So long

waives the defense of impairment of the Purchased Items by Buyer.

Adverse Effect.

     Purchased Items and enforce its rights in and under such Purchased Items.
     The Seller hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties
     and obligations with respect thereto as set forth herein.

          (ii) The Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the
     Purchased Items to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing
     Practices. In the event that the preceding

                                   Annex I-74

     language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts,
     each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the
     earliest of (A) an Event of Default, (B) the date on which the Repurchase
     Agreement terminates or the Seller repurchases any related Purchased Asset,
     or (C) the transfer of servicing approved in writing by the Buyer.

     (b) Seller as Servicer. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by the Seller,
the Seller agrees that, until the repurchase of a Purchased Asset on a

that the Buyer owns the Purchased Items, including, but not limited to, any and
all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes,
copies of computer tapes, computer programs, proof of insurance coverage,
insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history
records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such

(including the Custodian) at the Buyer's request.

     (c) Third Party Servicer. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by a
Servicer or a PSA Servicer pursuant to a Servicing Agreement or Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Seller (i) shall, in accordance with
Section 3(b)(viii) of this Repurchase Agreement, provide to the Buyer (subject
to the last sentence of this Section 6(c)) a copy of each Servicing Agreement
(which agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Buyer), and each Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a Servicer Notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII hereto, fully executed by the Seller
and the related Servicer or PSA Servicer (in the case of a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement for a Mortgage Asset that is not a Whole Loan, the Buyer may at its
discretion waive the requirement of an executed Servicer Notice), and (ii)
hereby irrevocably assigns to the Buyer and the Buyer's successors and assigns
all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under, and the benefits
of (but not the obligations of), each Servicing Agreement and each Pooling and
Servicing Agreement with respect to the Purchased Items. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Seller has contracted with a Servicer or PSA Servicer to service
the Purchased Items, the Seller shall remain liable to the Buyer for the acts of
the Servicers and the PSA Servicer and for the performance of the duties and
obligations set forth herein. The Seller agrees that no Person shall assume the
servicing obligations with respect to the Purchased Assets as successor to a
Servicer or PSA Servicer unless such successor is approved in writing by the
Buyer prior to such assumption of servicing obligations. Unless otherwise
approved in writing by the Buyer, if the Purchased Assets are serviced by a
Servicer or PSA Servicer, such servicing shall be performed pursuant to a
written Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement approved by the
Buyer.

     (d) Duties of the Seller.

          (i) Duties. The Seller shall take or cause to be taken all such
     actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect all Income and all
     other amounts due or recoverable with respect to the Purchased Items from
     time to time, all in accordance with Applicable Laws, with reasonable care
     and diligence, and in accordance with the standard set forth in Section
     6(a)(ii) of this Repurchase Agreement.

          (ii) Buyer's Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
     contained herein, the exercise by the Buyer of its rights hereunder shall
     not release the Seller from any of its duties or responsibilities with
     respect to the Purchased Items. The Buyer shall not have any obligation or
     liability with respect to any Purchased Items, nor shall any of them be
     obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller hereunder.

                                   Annex I-75

     (e) Authorization of the Seller.

          (i) The Buyer hereby authorizes the Seller (including any successor
     thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf
     necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the sale of the Purchased
     Items to the Buyer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Purchased
     Items, including, without limitation, endorsing checks and other
     instruments representing Income, executing and delivering any and all
     instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
     or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
     Purchased Items and, after the delinquency of any Purchased Item and to the
     extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence
     proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent
     as the Seller could have done if it had continued to own such Purchased
     Items. The Buyer shall furnish the Seller (and any successors thereto) with
     any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to
     enable the Seller to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
     hereunder and shall cooperate with the Seller to the fullest extent in
     order to ensure the collectability of the Purchased Items. In no event
     shall the Seller be entitled to make the Buyer a party to any litigation
     without the Buyer's express prior written consent.

          (ii) Subject to all other rights of the Buyer contained herein, after
     an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the direction of the
     Buyer, the Seller shall take such action as the Buyer may deem necessary or
     advisable to enforce collection of the Purchased Items; provided, however,
     subject to all other rights of the Buyer contained herein, the Buyer may,
     at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify
     any Borrower with respect to any Purchased Items of the assignment of such
     Purchased Items to the Buyer and direct that payments of all amounts due or
     to become due be made directly to the Buyer or any servicer, collection
     agent or lock-box or other account designated by the Buyer and, upon such
     notification and at the expense of the Seller, the Buyer may enforce
     collection of any such Purchased Items and adjust, settle or compromise the
     amount or payment thereof.

          (iii) With respect to each Purchased Asset and to the extent not
     otherwise specifically addressed otherwise in this Repurchase Agreement,
     (i) prior to an Event of Default, the Seller (and any Servicer or PSA
     Service on its behalf) shall not exercise any material rights of a holder
     of a Purchased Item under any document or agreement governing such
     Purchased Items (including amendments, modifications, waivers and
     alterations of any of the material terms of any Purchased Item) that
     affects the Market Value of such Purchased Item without first consulting
     with the Buyer prior to taking any action and, in the event the Buyer and
     the Seller cannot agree on a course of action, the Seller shall take only
     those actions as agreed to by the Buyer, and, (ii) after an Event of
     Default, the Seller shall not exercise any rights of a holder of such
     Purchased Items under any document or agreement governing such Purchased
     Items without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

servicing to its designee, at no cost or expense to the Buyer, at any time

                                   Annex I-76

thereafter. If the servicer of the Purchased Items is not the Seller, the Buyer
shall have the right, as contemplated in the applicable Servicer Notice, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, to terminate any applicable Servicing
Agreement and any Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent the PSA Servicer

designee, at no cost or expense to the Buyer, it being agreed that the Seller
will pay any and all fees required to terminate such Servicing Agreements and
Pooling and Servicing Agreements and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to

that the Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be, have the ability to
service and are servicing the Purchased Items as provided in this Repurchase
Agreement. If a Servicer or PSA Servicer is servicing a Purchased Item, the
Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer in causing each Servicer and PSA Servicer
to permit inspections of the Servicer's and PSA's facilities, books and records
and related documents and information related to the Purchased Items.

     (l) [RESERVED].

Items shall be those set forth in the applicable Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, (b) the Seller shall enforce its rights and interests under such
agreements for and on behalf of the Buyer, (c) the Seller shall instruct the
