parties hereto hereby agrees to the following amendments to the Agreement:

      2.1   The definition of "Alternate Rate" contained in Section 1.01 of

      2.2   The definition of "Maximum Funded Amount" contained in Section

"$200,000,000".

      2.3   The definition of "Tranche Rate" contained in Section 1.01 of
the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

the CP Rate, the weighted average of the Program Rates applicable to such
Fixed Period.

      2.3   Section 1.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting in
the appropriate alphabetical location therein the following new definition:

"Official Body" means any U.S. government or political subdivision or any
U.S. agency, authority, bureau, central bank, commission, department or
instrumentality of any such government or political subdivision, or any U.S.
court, tribunal, grand jury or arbitrator, or any accounting board or
authority (whether or not a part of government) which is responsible for the
establishment or interpretation of U.S. accounting principles.

      2.4   The first paragraph of Section 9.04(a) is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced by the following:

      "SECTION 9.04 Indemnity for Taxes, Reserves and Expenses. (a)     If
after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, standard or
regulation by any Official Body or any amendment or change in the
interpretation of any existing or future applicable law, rule, standard or
regulation by any Official Body charged with the administration,
interpretation or application thereof (including, but not limited to, any
interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No.51 by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board) or the compliance with any directive of any
Official Body (whether or not having the force of a Governmental Rule):"

      2.5   Section 9.04(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
by the following:

            "(b)  If any Indemnified Party shall have determined that, after
the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, standard or
regulation by any Official Body regarding or related to capital adequacy, or
any change therein, or any change in the interpretation thereof by any
Official Body, or any directive regarding or related to capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of a Governmental Rule) of any such
Official Body, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on capital of such Indemnified Party (or its parent) as a consequence of
such Indemnified Party's obligations hereunder or with respect hereto to a
level below that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have
achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party
(or its parent) for such reduction shall be payable to such Indemnified
Party in accordance with Section 9.05(c). For avoidance of doubt, any
interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adoption, change, request or
directive subject to this Section 9.04(b)."

by this Amendment, remain in full force and effect. After this Amendment
becomes effective, all references in the Agreement (or in any other document
governing the Seller's securitization program) to "this Agreement",
"hereof", "herein" or words of similar effect referring to the Agreement
shall be deemed to be references to the Agreement as amended by this
Amendment. This Amendment shall not be deemed to expressly or impliedly
waive, amend or supplement any provision of the Agreement other than as set
forth herein.

      4.    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, and each
counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

      5.    Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York
without regard to any otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of law.
