thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or

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 such Seller is acting as Buyer).
(c) Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed
to such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
4
(d) 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 exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified
percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or
percentage &hall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any
such Transactions).
(e) 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
Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment date
on the Securities subject to that Transaction, Buyer shall, as the parties may
agree with respect to such Transaction (or, in the absence of any agreement, as
Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income is
payable either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of Seller an amount
equal to such Income payment or payments with respect to any Purchased
Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) apply the Income payment or
payments to reduce the amount to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon
termination of the Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action
pursuant to the preceding sentence 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.
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 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
5
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. As used herein with respect to Securities, "transfer" is intended to have
the same meaning as when used in Section 8-313 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code or, where applicable, in any federal regulation governing
transfers of the Securities.
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 intermediary or a clearing corporation. Title to
all Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer 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 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.
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. (S)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. (S)403.5(e) if Seller is a financial
institution.
6
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 .

delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any

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;
(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
