agreed to amend the Investor Agreement on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Investor
Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Seller, the Investor,
CNAI and the Agent agree as follows:
Section 1. Amendment to the Investor Agreement. The Investor
Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.01 of the Investor Agreement is amended by
deleting in their entirety the definitions of "Fee Letter" and
"Purchase Limit" set forth therein and substituting in their

Citibank, CNAI, the Agent and the "Agent" under and as
defined in the Parallel Purchase Agreement, as such
letter agreement may be amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
"Purchase Limit" means at any time $150,000,000,
as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section
2.03(b) or reduced pursuant to Section 2.03; provided,
however, that at all times on and after the
Termination Date, the "Purchase Limit" shall mean the
aggregate Capital for all Eligible Assets.
(b) Article II of the Investor Agreement is amended by
deleting Section 2.03 thereof in its entirety and substituting
in its place the following:
SECTION 2.03. Termination or Reduction of the
Purchase Limit; Increase of the Purchase Limit.
(a) The Seller may, upon at least five Business
Days' notice to the Agent, terminate in whole or
reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase
Limit; provided, however, that each partial reduction
shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple thereof. On each day on which the
Seller shall, pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Parallel
Purchase Agreement, reduce in part the unused portion
of the "Commitment" (as defined in the Parallel
Purchase Agreement"), the Purchase Limit shall reduce
automatically by an equal amount.

April 1, 1996, to $175,000,000, and on August 1, 1996,

increase shall be subject to the conditions that (A)
on or before April 1, 1996, or August 1, 1996, as the
case may be, the Agent shall have received any fees
payable in connection with such increase as specified
in the Fee Letter, (B) all of the conditions specified
in Section 3.02 of this Agreement shall be satisfied
as of April 1, 1996, or August 1, 1996, as the case
may be, as though such increase were a Purchase or
reinvestment occurring on such date, (C) the
"Commitment" (under and as defined in the Parallel
Purchase Agreement) shall have been increased such
that after giving effect to any such increase in the
Purchase Limit, the amount of the Purchase Limit and
the amount of the "Commitment" (under and as defined
in the Parallel Purchase Agreement) shall be the same,
(D) the Termination Date shall not have occurred and
(E) prior to April 1, 1996, or August 1, 1996, as the
case may be, there shall have been no reduction of the
Purchase Limit pursuant to Section 2.03(a), and (ii)
no increase in the Purchase Limit shall be made on
August 1, 1996, unless (A) the Purchase Limit shall
have been increased as provided herein on April 1,
1996, and (B) as of August 1, 1996, the aggregate
"Maximum Purchase" (under and as defined in the
Parallel Purchase Agreement) of all "Banks" (under and
as defined in the Parallel Purchase Agreement) other
than Citibank or any of its Affiliates shall at least
equal $55,000,000.
Section 2. Effective Date. This Amendment shall become
effective and shall be deemed effective as of the date first above written

Termination Date shall not have occurred; and (c) the Agent shall have
received (i) six copies of this Amendment duly executed by the Seller, the
Investor, CNAI and the Agent, (ii) six copies of Amendment No. 1 of even

parties thereto, and (iii) a copy of the Fee Letter, as amended and
restated as of the date hereof, duly executed by all parties thereto.

and the Related Documents. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, (i)
the Seller hereby reaffirms all covenants, representations and warranties
made by it in the Investor Agreement to the extent the same are not
amended hereby and agrees that all such covenants, representations and
warranties shall be deemed to have been remade as of the effective date of
this Amendment and (ii) each reference in the Investor Agreement to "this
Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof," "herein" or words of like import shall
mean and be, and any references to the Investor Agreement in any other
document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection
with the Investor Agreement shall mean and be, a reference to the Investor
Agreement as amended hereby.
Section 4. Effect. Except as otherwise amended by this
Amendment, the Investor Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
