                                       - 31 -                                         
          The term sheet outlined the  major  terms  of  the  proposed                
          restructuring that the BAC had negotiated with the Brazilians.              
               From about November 1983 through January 27, 1984, virtually           
          all of the foreign lenders submitted their individual written               
          commitments to the term sheet that the BAC had negotiated on their          
          behalf with the Brazilians.  Prior to and during this period, some          
          foreign lenders, including Commercial Credit Corporation, a                 
          subsidiary of Control Data Corporation, initially indicated that            
          their approval of the term sheet would be conditional upon the              
          Brazilians' resolving the withholding issue favorably to them,              
          which issue is discussed more fully infra.                                  
               Phase III                                                              
               The phase III negotiations began in about the fall of 1984 and         
          continued through July 1986.  Originally, the BAC and the                   
          Brazilians contemplated restructuring the scheduled Brazilian               
          foreign debt payments due in the 7-year period from January 1,              
          1985, through December 31, 1991.  However, no such 7-year                   
          restructuring agreement was ultimately concluded.                           
               On July 25, 1986, Brazil and its foreign lenders signed the            
          phase III DFA.  The phase III DFA covered the scheduled Brazilian           
          foreign debt payments due in 1985 and 1986.  Under the phase III            
          DFA, any 1985 debt payments would be available for relending to             
          other Brazilian persons and companies during a specified relending          
          period; 1986 debt payments, on the other hand, would not be                 
          available for relending.
