          effective (the “Effective Date”) on the date on which all the               
          following conditions have first been satisfied:  (1)  Each of the           
          parties shall have signed a counterpart of the side letter                  
          agreement and each of Rockport Capital and CDR shall have                   
          received a full set of counterparts; and (2) Rockport Capital               
          shall have deposited in a specified account $5 million; i.e., the           
          sum of the preferred capital accounts of Generale Bank and CLIS             
          on the closing date.  The side letter agreement further specifies

          Contributions as defined in * * * [that agreement] unless and               
          until the Effective Date has occurred hereunder.”  The deposit              
          account agreement, in turn, provides that Rockport Capital shall

          required to be deposited therein” pursuant to the side letter               
          agreement.                                                                  
               Pursuant to the advisory fee agreement, “To induce CDR, CLIS           
          and GB to execute the Letter Agreement” and the exchange and                
          contribution agreement, Rockport Capital agreed to pay CLIS on              
          the “Effective Date” in U.S. dollars and immediately available              
          funds “(x) an advisory fee of $5,000,000 and (y) an additional              
          advisory fee equal to 3/4 of 1% of the tax losses, if any, in
