The undersigned agree that, in connection with the closing of the initial purchase of receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the following information is accurate:

Originator	Face Amount of receivables sold to AIRC		Historical Loss Factor (0.6% of Face Amount of receivables sold to AIRC)		Payment Timing Adjustment¹		Net Purchase Price (Face amount less Historical Loss Factor less Payment Timing Adjustment) paid by AIRC		Cash Portion of Net Purchase Price Paid by AIRC		Portion of Net Purchase Price evidenced by AIRC Promissory Note to indicated Originator

1.: Payment Timing Adjustment equals the product of (i) the face amount of receivables purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, multiplied by (ii) 0.25% plus the Discount Rate applicable to such purchased receivables under the Receivables Sale Agreement (for calculation of the initial Payment Timing Adjustment applicable on September 28, 2001, the Discount Rate is deemed to be 2.7%), multiplied by (iii) the fraction the numerator of which is the average tenor, expressed in days, of each originators' pool, less 13 days to adjust for the approximate number of days elapsed from the original date of sale to the date of the receivable sale, over 360.
2.: Albany International Corp. has made a $750,000 contribution to the capital of Albany International Holdings Two, Inc., which has made a back-to-back $750,000 contribution to the capital of AIRC. This series of capital contributions has been effected by reducing the principal amount of the Promissory Note payable by AIRC to Albany International Corp. by $750,000.
3.: This cash amount equals the amount of cash which AIRC received on the date hereof from Amsterdam Funding Corporation in respect of transactions closed under the Receivables Sale Agreement.

c.: Each Originator (other than Albany International Corp.) paid the cash portion so received to Albany International Corp. as a dividend, return of capital, or repayment of intercompany indebtedness.
d.: Albany International Corp. made a payment in reduction of its bank debt in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate cash portion received by all Originators (i.e. the amount shown in the "TOTALS" row for the column entitled "Cash Portion of Net Purchase Price Paid by AIRC").
e.: To effect the foregoing transactions, the Originators and AIRC hereby agree that AIRC will instruct Amsterdam to pay, pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, an amount equal to such aggregate cash portion directly to Albany International Corp.'s bank lenders in accordance with the instructions of Albany International Corp.

The undersigned further agree that the purchase price for receivables purchased by AIRC from time to time pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will equal (i) the face amount of such receivables, less (ii) the Historical Loss Factor (computed as indicated above), less (iii) the Payment Timing Adjustment (computed as indicated above).
