by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
such date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of
one month commencing on that Reset Date. The Servicer will request the

European banks in U.S. Dollars for a period of one month commencing on

Amount being funded on such date by the Holders

B-R and Class C-R Certificates, integral multiples of $105, and in the case of
the Class D-R Certificates, integral multiples of $100.
Section 9. Legal Opinion.
---------- --------------
It shall be a condition to any Funding under this Series after
September 10, 1999 that prior to such Funding there shall have been delivered to
the Trustee and each Holder of Rated Certificates a legal opinion of counsel to
the Company, the Depositor and the Servicer, inform and substance satisfactory

undivided fractional interest in the Allegiance Capital Trust I (the "Trust")
formed by Allegiance Funding Corp. I (the "Depositor"). The Trust was created
pursuant to the Trust Agreement, dated as of August 1, 1998, among the
Depositor, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"),
and Point West Capital Corporation, as Servicer, and the Amended and Restated
Supplement to Trust Agreement for Revolving Series 1998-1, dated as of September
1, 1999 (amending and restating the original Supplement to Trust Agreement for
Revolving Series 1998-1, dated as of August 1, 1998), among the Depositor, the
Trustee and Point West Capital Corporation, as Servicer (collectively, the
"Trust Agreement"). Reference is made to the Trust Agreement for a statement of
the respective rights thereunder of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Holders
of the Certificates, and the terms upon which the Certificates are, and are to
be, authenticated and delivered. To the extent not otherwise defined herein,
each capitalized term used herein has the meaning assigned to it in the Trust
Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as the Amended and Restated Class A-R Revolving Certificates, Series
1998-1 having a scheduled maturity of April 17, 2000 and a Series Termination
Date of July 15, 2019 (herein called the "Class A-R Certificates") issued and to
be issued under the Trust Agreement. This Class A-R Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement,
to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Class A-R Certificate by virtue of
such Holder's acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The Holder of this Certificate is obligated to provide funds to the
Depositor on each Funding Date during the Funding Period subject to the
applicable terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents. The
Fundings made by the Holder of this Certificate to the Depositor shall be
evidenced by this Certificate and the Certificateholder shall endorse on the
schedule annexed hereto and made a part hereof, or elsewhere in its internal
records, the date and amount of each Funding made by it to the Depositor and the
amount of each payment of principal made by the Depositor with respect thereto.
The Certificateholder is authorized and directed by the Depositor to endorse the
schedule attached hereto or maintain such records; provided that each
Certificateholder's endorsements or records shall be effective only if they are
in agreement with the register maintained by the Trustee, absent manifest error
in such register. The failure of the Certificateholder to make, or an error in
making, a notation with respect to any Funding shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligations of the Depositor hereunder or under the Trust Agreement.
The aggregate amount of all Fundings required to be made by the Holder of this
Certificate, shall be as set forth in the Revolving Funding Schedule.
This Class A-R Certificate bears interest during each Accrual Period on
the Outstanding Principal Amount hereof (as of the first day of the Accrual
Period) at the Certificate Interest Rate, until and including the last day
preceding the Payment Date on which the Outstanding Principal Amount hereof has
been reduced to zero. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount hereof shall
be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days
each. Interest shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. In
addition, with respect to any Funding by the Class A-R Certificates of this
Series occurring in any Accrual Period following the preceding Payment Date, the
related Funding Amounts shall accrue interest from the related Funding Date
through the end of the Accrual Period in which such Funding occurs in the amount
of the applicable First Period Interest, which interest shall be paid on the
next Payment Date. The First Period Interest on the Funding Amount shall be
determined on the Funding Date at the rate established on the applicable Reset
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Outstanding Principal Amount of this
A-2
Certificate is not paid in full by its Scheduled Maturity, then, for any Accrual
Period commencing on or after such Scheduled Maturity, the Floating Rate Spread
on this Certificate shall be increased by 1.00%. In making any interest payment,
if the interest calculation with respect to a Certificate shall result in a
portion of such payment being less than $0.01, then such payment shall be
decreased to the nearest whole cent, and no subsequent adjustment shall be made
in respect thereof.
The principal of this Class A-R Certificate shall be payable in
installments ending no later than the Series Termination Date unless this Class
A-R Certificate becomes due and payable at an earlier date by call for
redemption or otherwise. All reductions in the principal amount of a Class A-R
Certificate effected by payments of installments of principal made on any
Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A-R
Certificate and of any Class A-R Certificate issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not such
payment is noted on this Class A-R Certificate. Each installment of principal
payable on this Class A-R Certificate shall be in an amount equal to this
Certificateholder's pro rata share of the Class A-R Principal Distribution
Amount available to be paid in accordance with the priorities of Section 3 of
the Supplement for this Series and Section 5.02 of the Trust Agreement. Subject
to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the principal payable on this Class A-R
Certificate shall be paid on each Payment Date during the term of the Trust
Agreement, beginning on the Initial Payment Date. All payments of principal with
respect to all of the Class A-R Certificates of a Series shall be made on a pro
rata basis based upon the ratio that the Outstanding Principal Amount of a Class
A-R Certificate bears to the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Class A-R
Certificates of such Series; provided that, if as a result of such proration a
--------
portion of such principal would be less than $0.01, then such payment shall be
reduced to the nearest whole cent.
In addition, the Certificate Prepayment Fee Amount, if any, shall be
distributed on each Payment Date to the Holders of the Class A-R Certificates to
the extent such Class is receiving a distribution of Prepaid Principal Amount on
such date. All payments of Certificate Prepayment Fee Amounts with respect to
the Class A-R Certificates shall be made prorata based upon the ratio of the
Outstanding Principal Amount of this Certificate to the Outstanding Principal
Amount of Class A-R Certificates of this Series, provided that if as a result of
such proration, a portion of such payment would be less than $0.01, then such
payment shall be reduce to the nearest whole cent.
The interest and principal so payable on any Payment Date will, as
provided in the Trust Agreement, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered on the Record Date for such Payment Date, which shall
be the close of business on the last day of the month prior to such Payment Date
(whether or not a Business Day). The principal and interest on this Certificate
are payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
specified in writing to the Trustee by the Person whose name appears as the
Registered Holder of this Certificate on the Certificate Register received at
least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date for the Payment Date (or
if no such account is specified or if such wire fails, by check mailed by
first-class mail to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of
this Certificate on the Certificate Register at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Certificate Register), in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. Funds represented by checks returned undelivered will
be held for payment to the Person entitled thereto, subject to the terms of the
Trust Agreement, at the office or agency in the United States of America
designated as such by the Depositor for such purpose pursuant to the Trust
Agreement.
The Depositor has structured the Trust Agreement and the Certificates
with the intention that the Trust be treated as a partnership, with the assets
of the partnership including all of the assets of the Trust Estate and the
partners of the partnership being all of the Certificateholders and the
Depositor. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and each Certificateholder,
by acceptance of its Certificate (and any
A-3
Person that is a beneficial owner of any interest in a Certificate, by virtue of
such Person's acquisition of a beneficial interest therein), agree to report the
transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with such stated intentions
unless and until determined to the contrary by an applicable taxing authority.
The property of the Trust Estate includes certain Loan Assets and
certain other assets described in the Trust Agreement. The Class A-R
Certificates of the 1998-1 Series and all other Series of Class A-R Certificates
issued under the Trust Agreement are payable out of the Trust Estate pari passu
among such Class A-R Certificateholders equally and ratably without prejudice,
priority or distinction between any Class A-R Certificate by reason of time of
issue or otherwise. The Class A-R Certificates are payable only out of the Trust
Estate and do not represent recourse obligations of the Depositor, Allegiance
Capital, LLC or any of their respective affiliates or successors. The Trust
Agreement pursuant to which this Class A-R Certificate is issued also provides
for the issuance of other Classes and Series of Certificates from time to time.
Payments of interest on the Class A-R Certificates are senior to such payments
on other Classes having a lower credit rating from the Rating Agency and are
subordinate to payments of interest on any Classes having a higher credit rating
form the Rating Agency. Payments of principal in the Class A-R Certificates are
senior to payments of principal on other classes having a lower credit rating
from the Rating Agency and are subordinate to such payments on any Class having
a higher credit rating from the Rating Agency.
Unless the Depositor exercises its Optional Termination rights, the
Certificates are payable only at the time and in the manner provided in the
Trust Agreement and are not redeemable or prepayable at the option of the
Depositor before such time, except that the Depositor may cause the Trust to
prepay on a dollar for dollar basis the principal, without penalty or premium,
of any Outstanding Series of Revolving Certificates with the proceeds of the
issuance of a Series of Term Certificates.
As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate may be registered on the
Certificate Register of the Depositor upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Depositor in the United
States of America maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor and the Trustee and duly executed by the holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-R Certificates
of the same Scheduled Maturity of authorized denominations and for the same
initial aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferees.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, the Depositor, the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the
Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for
all other purposes whether or not this Certificate be overdue, and neither the
Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that for one year and one day after it has been paid hereunder, it or any
Affiliate thereof will not file any involuntary petition or otherwise institute
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar
law against the Depositor.
The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates
under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates.
A-4
The Certificates are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in such authorized denominations as provided in the Trust Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Class A-R Certificate and the Trust Agreement shall be governed by

without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
No reference herein to the Trust Agreement and no provision of this
Class A-R Certificate or of the Trust Agreement shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Trust Estate to pay the principal of and interest on this
Class A-R Certificate, but solely from the assets of the Trust Estate and the

to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Class B-R Certificate by virtue of
such Holder's acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The Holder of this Certificate is obligated to provide funds to the
Depositor on each Funding Date during the Funding Period subject to the

The Certificateholder is authorized and directed by the Depositor to endorse the
schedule attached hereto or maintain such records; provided that each
--------
Certificateholder's endorsements or records shall be effective only if they are
in agreement with the register maintained by the Trustee, absent manifest error

be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days

in respect thereof.
The principal of this Class B-R Certificate shall be payable in
installments ending no later than the Series Termination Date unless this Class

(whether or not a Business Day). The principal and interest on this Certificate
are payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
specified in writing to the Trustee by the Person whose name appears as the
Registered Holder of this Certificate on the Certificate Register received at
least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date for the Payment Date (or
if no such account is specified or if such wire fails, by check mailed by

public and private debts. Funds represented by checks returned undelivered will
be held for payment to the Person entitled thereto, subject to the terms of the
Trust Agreement, at the office or agency in the United States of America
designated as such by the Depositor for such purpose pursuant to the Trust
Agreement.
The Depositor has structured the Trust Agreement and the Certificates

of the partnership including all of the assets of the Trust Estate and the
partners of the partnership being all of the Certificateholders and the
Depositor. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and each Certificateholder,

issue or otherwise. The Class C-R Certificates are payable only out of the Trust
Estate and do not represent recourse obligations of the Depositor, Allegiance
Capital, LLC or any of their respective affiliates or successors. The Trust
Agreement pursuant to which this Class C-R Certificate is issued also provides
for the issuance of other Classes and Series of Certificates from time to time.
Payments of interest on the Class C-R Certificates are senior to such payments
on other Classes having a lower credit rating from the Rating Agency and are
subordinate to payments of interest on any Classes having a higher credit rating

senior to payments of principal on other classes having a lower credit rating
from the Rating Agency and are subordinate to such payments on any Class having
a higher credit rating from the Rating Agency.
Unless the Depositor exercises its Optional Termination rights, the
Certificates are payable only at the time and in the manner provided in the
Trust Agreement and are not redeemable or prepayable at the option of the
Depositor before such time, except that the Depositor may cause the Trust to
prepay on a dollar for dollar basis the principal, without penalty or premium,
of any Outstanding Series of Revolving Certificates with the proceeds of the
issuance of a Series of Term Certificates.
As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate may be registered on the
Certificate Register of the Depositor upon surrender of this Certificate for

Depositor and the Trustee and duly executed by the holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class C-R Certificates
having the same Scheduled Maturity, Series Termination Date, authorized
denomination(s) and for the same initial aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferees.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this

Affiliate thereof will not file any involuntary petition or otherwise institute
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar
law against the Depositor.

provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates
under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates.
