   paid or declared and funds therefor set aside for payment.

             Adjustable Rate Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock or
             Series E Preferred Stock (as defined below) have not been paid

             extent that the Adviser receives a monthly payment or payments
             of the Advisory Fee pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) of the
             Contract with respect to a quarter as to which the Adviser is
             subsequently determined not to be entitled to payment of the
             Advisory Fee, the Adviser shall promptly refund such amounts.

   "Third Amendment"), the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Advisory
   Contract dated as of June 7, 1994 (the "Fourth Amendment"), the Fifth
