The Confirmation shall describe the Purchased Securities (including

Purchase Date, (ii) the Purchase Price, (iii) the Repurchase Date,
unless the Transaction is to be terminable on demand, (iv) the Pricing
Rate or Repurchase Price applicable to the Transaction, and (v) any

date specified in such demand, or on the date fixed for termination in
the case of Transactions having a fixed term, termination of the
Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the
Purchased Securities and 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 such Seller is acting as Buyer).
(c) If any notice is given by 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.
4 - September 1996 - Master Repurchase Agreement
(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).
(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.
September 1996 - Master Repurchase Agreement - 5
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 Purchase 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 Paragraph 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.
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 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.
6 - September 1996 - Master Repurchase Agreement

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

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

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,

Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree
that (1) the Securities subject to any Transaction hereunder are

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

fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.

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 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

applied against each other and netted.

September 1996 - Master Repurchase Agreement - 9
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 the 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 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.
10 - September 1996 - Master Repurchase Agreement
(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 a 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 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 FDI-CIA (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
September 1996 - Master Repurchase Agreement - 11
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
(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.
