          $1,093,750.  The banks issued the LIBOR Notes at a price equal to           
          the aggregate consideration less the cash.  The notional                    
          principal amount of the Notes was the amount that was required at           
          current market swap rates to give the expected LIBOR cash flows a           
          present value equal to this price.

          Notes for the stated purpose of hedging the partners' exposure to           
          interest rate risk associated with the Colgate debt, Southampton            
          served notice of an adjustment to the Yield Component sharing

          share of the Yield Component from 16.7 percent to 29.7 percent.
