Rick, I have been having discussions with both Joe Deffner and Jean Mrha on
this one. Clearly, this is a commercial banking product in which we have
little competitive advantage unless we take more risk on terminal value or
collateral (reserve risk). Ultimately, I have challenged the Upstream Group
to define the other parts of the deal that would compensate for this
increased risk and the cost of capital uncompetitiveness.

Delainey
