                     REX STORES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  July 31, 2005

Note 1.  Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

         The consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information
set forth therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2005 (fiscal
2004). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Note 2.  Reclassifications

         Investments in auction rate securities have been reclassified from cash
and cash equivalents to investments available for sale on the Consolidated
Condensed Balance Sheet. The reclassification was effected because the
securities had stated maturities beyond three months. The amount of auction rate
securities was $7 million at April 30, 2004. There were no auction rate
securities at July 31, 2005 or 2004. The Company reclassified $2.2 million of in
transit credit card and finance contract settlements from cash to accounts
receivable as of July 31, 2004.

Note 3.  Accounting Policies

         The interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in
the preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of
some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations
that will be accomplished at fiscal year end. Examples of such estimates include
changes in the LIFO reserve (based upon the Company's best estimate of inflation
to date), management bonuses and the provision for income taxes. Any adjustments
pursuant to such estimates during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature.
The provision for income taxes could vary based upon full year synthetic fuel
production levels, federal income tax law changes, the price of certain fuel
products adjusted for inflation and Internal Revenue Service audits.

</TABLE>

         The Company accounts for vendor allowances in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) 02-16 "Accounting by a Customer for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor," which addresses how and when to reflect
consideration received from vendors in the consolidated financial statements.
Vendors often fund, up front, certain advertising costs and exposure to general
changes in pricing to customers due to technological change. Allowances are
deferred as received from vendors and recognized into income as an offset to the
cost of merchandise sold when the related product is sold or expense incurred.
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

         Cost of merchandise sold includes the cost of merchandise, markdowns
and inventory shortage, receiving, warehousing and freight charges to deliver
merchandise to retail stores, service repair bills as well as cash discounts and
rebates. The Company classifies purchasing costs as selling, general and
administrative expenses. As a result of this classification, the Company's gross
margins may not be comparable to those of other retailers that include costs
related to their distribution network in selling, general and administrative
expense.

         The Company includes stores expenses (such as payroll and occupancy
costs), advertising, purchasing, depreciation, insurance and overhead costs in
selling, general and administrative expenses.

         Interest expense of $1,330,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2005
is net of approximately $15,000 of interest capitalized. Interest expense of
$1,718,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2004 is net of approximately
$11,000 of interest capitalized. Cash paid for interest for the six months ended
July 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $1,214,000 and $1,649,000,
respectively.

         During the first six months of fiscal 2004, the Company completed the
early payoff of mortgages for 42 retail locations totaling approximately $21.6
million. The scheduled payment on these notes included approximately $1.2
million for the last six months of fiscal 2004, $6.2 million for fiscal 2005,
$6.9 million for fiscal 2006, $1.6 million for fiscal 2007, $1.4 million for
fiscal 2008 and $4.3 million thereafter. The Company incurred a charge of
approximately $614,000, including cash payments of approximately $341,000 for
the first six months of fiscal 2004 related to this termination of debt.

         During the first half of fiscal 2005 the Company received 90,096 shares
of common stock into treasury with a market value of approximately $1.3 million
as payment for the exercise of options for 297,775 shares of common stock.

         The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is
consistent with the Company's estimated annual tax rate. The tax credits
generated from synthetic fuel operations reduce the Company's overall effective
tax rate. Estimates of the effective tax rate may change based upon synthetic
fuel production and the Company's projected income. The Company provides for
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. The Company provides for a valuation allowance if, based
on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

         The Company paid income taxes of approximately $4,025,000 and
$2,139,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

         In December 2004, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123,
"Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"). The revision requires all entities to
recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of
share-based payments granted to employees. SFAS 123(R) eliminates the
alternative method of accounting for employee share-based payments previously
available under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"). In April
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the effective date of SFAS
123(R) to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. As a result, SFAS 123(R)
will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact that adopting SFAS
123(R) will have on the financial statements.

         In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections - A Replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20
and SFAS 3." SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods'
financial statements for a change in accounting principle, unless it is
impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative
effect of the change. Additionally, retrospective application is not required
when explicit transition requirements specific to newly adopted accounting
principles exist. Retrospective application requires the cumulative effect of
the change on periods prior to those presented to be reflected in the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the first period
presented and the offsetting adjustments to be recorded to opening retained
earnings. SFAS 154 retains the guidance contained in APB No. 20 for reporting
both the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a
change in accounting estimate. SFAS 154 will become effective for accounting
changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 154, as
applicable, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Note 4.  Stock Option Plans

         The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which stock
options have been granted to directors, officers and key employees at the market
price on the date of the grant.

         The following summarizes options granted, exercised and canceled or
expired during the six months ended July 31, 2005:

</TABLE>

         Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,"
the Company has elected to account for its employee stock option plans under APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which recognizes
expense based on the intrinsic value at date of grant. As stock options have
been issued with exercise prices equal to grant date fair value, no compensation
cost has resulted.

         Had compensation cost for all options granted been determined based on
the fair value at grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except
per share amounts):

         For the three months ended July 31, 2005 and 2004, a total of 314,336
shares and 656,736 shares, respectively, and for the six months ended July 31,
2005 and 2004, a total of 314,336 and 334,736 shares, respectively, subject to
outstanding options were not included in the common equivalent shares
outstanding calculation as the exercise prices were above the average trading
price of the Company's common stock for that period.


Note 6.  Synthetic Fuel

         Income from continuing operations for the second quarter and first six
months of fiscal 2005 includes approximately $6.1 million and $12.1 million,
respectively, of pre-tax investment income from the sales of the Company's
entire Partnership interest in Colona SynFuel Limited Partnership, L.L.L.P., a
synthetic fuel limited partnership. Of the $12.1 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2005, approximately $448,000 relates to a payment received for
2004 production. The 2004


                                       11




<PAGE>


production payments made to the Company were based upon estimated income tax
credits per ton of coal produced. The $448,000 payment was made to the Company
after the Internal Revenue Service published the 2004 income tax credit per ton
amount in April 2005.

         On March 30, 2004 the Company also sold its entire ownership interest
in a limited liability company that owned a synthetic fuel facility in Gillette,
Wyoming. The Company received $2.8 million at closing along with a secured
contingent payment note that could provide additional investment income to the
Company. The facility resumed commercial operations during the second quarter of
fiscal 2005; as such, we received $3.5 million as a one-time payment per the
terms of the purchase agreement. In addition, we are eligible to receive $1.50
per ton of "qualified production" produced and sold by the facility through
2007. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we recognized approximately $0.8
million of additional income from the qualified production.

         The Company remains a limited partner in Somerset SynFuel, L.P. This
partnership is operational and producing synthetic fuel. The Company is
receiving Section 29 federal income tax credits in connection with production
and sales of synthetic fuel from the Somerset facility.

         As provided by the current Internal Revenue Code, the Code Section 29
tax credit program is expected to continue through December 31, 2007. Recent
increases in the price of oil could limit the amount of those credits or
eliminate them altogether for 2005 and one or more of the years following fiscal
2005. This possibility is due to a provision of Section 29 that provides that if
the average wellhead price per barrel for unregulated domestic crude oil for the
year (the "Annual Average Price") exceeds a certain threshold value (the
"Threshold Price"), the Section 29 tax credits are subject to phase out. For
calendar year 2004, the Threshold Price was $51.34 per barrel and the Phase Out
Price was $64.47 per barrel. The Threshold Price and the Phase Out Price are
adjusted annually as a result of inflation and are published by the Internal
Revenue Service in April of the following year.

         The Company cannot predict with any certainty the Annual Average Price
for 2005 or beyond. Therefore, it cannot predict whether the price of oil will
have a material effect on its synthetic fuel business after 2004. However, if
during 2005, or in subsequent years, oil prices remain at historically high
levels or increase, the Company's synthetic fuel business may be adversely
affected for those years, and, depending on the magnitude of such increases in
oil prices, the adverse affect for those years could be material and could have
an impact on the Company's synthetic fuel results of operations and related
income tax benefits.

Note 7.  Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

         During the first six months of fiscal 2005 the Company closed five
stores in which the Company vacated the market. Those stores and certain other
stores closed in previous periods were classified as discontinued operations for
all periods presented. Two of the closed stores are classified as held for sale.
The net assets of those stores at July 31, 2005 were approximately $1,669,000.
The Company expects to sell the assets related to these stores within the next
12 months through normal real estate channels. No loss has been recognized as
the estimated net realizable values exceed the carrying values of these assets.

Note 8.  Subsequent Event

         On August 30, 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused damage to a minimum of
three of our stores. We are evaluating the related damage to other stores in
the area. We do not believe that the impact of business interruption or
required repairs to damaged stores will have a material impact on future
results of operations or require material capital expenditures. However, until
we are able to complete a thorough evaluation of storm damage to all of our
stores, we cannot estimate the impact of the storm damage on our financial
statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
           of Operations.

         We are a specialty retailer in the consumer electronics/appliance
industry. As of July 31, 2005 we operated 228 stores in 37 states, predominantly
in small to medium-sized markets under the trade name "REX".

Fiscal Year

         All references in this report to a particular fiscal year are to REX's
fiscal year ended January 31. For example, "fiscal 2005" means the period
February 1, 2005 to January 31, 2006.

Comparison of Three Months and Six Months Ended July 31, 2005 and 2004

Net sales in the quarter ended July 31, 2005 were $84.7 million compared to
$85.8 million in the prior year's second quarter, representing a decrease of
$1.1 million or 1.3%. Net sales do not include sales from stores closed and
classified as discontinued operations.

         This decrease was primarily caused by a decrease in comparable store
sales of 0.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. We consider a store to be
comparable after it has been open six full fiscal quarters. Comparable store
sales do not include sales of extended service contracts. We had a net reduction
of eleven stores (ten of which were classified as discontinued operations) since
the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

         Our strongest product category for the second quarter of fiscal 2005
was the appliance category which positively impacted comparable store sales by
4.2%. This increase is primarily related to higher demand for air conditioners
based upon a warmer June and July in many of our markets. The video category
negatively impacted comparable store sales by 1.8%. The audio category




                                       14







<PAGE>


negatively impacted comparable store sales by 2.6%. Both the audio and video
categories have been impacted by lower price points of their respective products
and these products becoming more of a commodity item with very high levels of
competition.

         Net sales for the first half of fiscal 2005 were $174.3 million
compared to $170.2 million for the first half of fiscal 2004. This represents an
increase of $4.0 million or 2.4%. Comparable store sales increased by
approximately 3.2% for the first half of fiscal 2005.

         The television and appliance product categories positively impacted
comparable store sales for the first half of fiscal 2005 with the television
category impact being 4.1% and the appliance category impact being 3.3%. Strong
demand for plasma and LCD televisions contributed to the television category
increase while strong air conditioner sales accounted for the majority of the
increase in the appliance comparable store sales performance. The audio and
video categories negatively impacted comparable store sales for the first half
of fiscal 2005 by 2.4% and 1.8% respectively reflecting a continuing trend of
lower price points of the respective products and these products becoming more
of a commodity item with very high levels of competition.

         The following table reflects the approximate percent of net sales for
each major product group for the periods presented.

         As of July 31, 2005, we had 228 stores compared to 239 stores one year
earlier. We did not open any stores and closed six stores during the first half
of fiscal 2005. We did not open any stores and closed three stores during the
first half of fiscal 2004.

         Gross profit of $25.0 million (29.5% of net sales) in the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 was approximately $0.7 million higher than the $24.3
million (28.4% of net sales) recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Gross profit for the first half of fiscal 2005 was $49.5 million (28.4% of net
sales) compared to $49.1 million (28.8% of net sales) for the first half of
fiscal 2004. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was
positively impacted by air conditioner sales which tend to have higher gross
profit margins than our other core products. Gross profit margin for the first
half of fiscal 2005 was negatively impacted by recognition of a lower amount of
extended service contract sales which generally have a higher gross profit
margin associated with it.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of
fiscal 2005 were $24.2 million (28.6% of net sales), an increase of $0.7 million
or 3.1% from $23.5 million (27.5% of net sales) for the second quarter of fiscal
2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $47.1

million (27.0% of net sales) for the first six months of fiscal 2005
representing an increase of $0.1 million or 0.2% from $47.0 million (27.6% of
net sales) for the first six months of fiscal 2004. The increase in expenditures
was primarily a result of higher payroll costs associated with higher
commissions paid to sales personnel as well as accruals for executive incentive
pay associated with higher corporate profitability. These increases were late
partially offset by a corresponding decrease in advertising expenditures.

         Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $0.7 million
(0.9% of net sales), a decrease of $0.1 million (6.7%) from the $0.8 million
(0.9% of net sales) for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Operating income in
the first half of fiscal 2005 was $2.5 million (1.4% of net sales), an increase
of $0.4 million (18.1%) over the $2.1 million (1.2% of net sales) for the first
six months of fiscal 2004.

         Investment income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $0.1
million (0.1 % of net sales), unchanged from the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Investment income for the first half of fiscal 2005 was $0.1 million (0.1 % of
net sales), unchanged from the first six months of fiscal 2004.

         Interest expense was $0.7 million (0.8% of net sales) for the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $0.8 million (0.9% of net sales) for the
second quarter of fiscal 2004. Interest expense was $1.3 million (0.8% of net
sales) for the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to $1.7 million (1.0% of
net sales) for the first six months of fiscal 2004. Interest expense for the
current year has been lowered due to lower average borrowings on the line of
credit and the pay-off of approximately $25.4 million in mortgage debt in the
prior year.

         During the first six months of fiscal 2004 the Company completed the
early payoff of mortgages for 42 retail locations totaling approximately $21.6
million. The Company incurred a charge of approximately $0.6 million including
cash payments of approximately $0.3 million, for the first six months of fiscal
2004 related to this termination of debt. There were no early terminations of
debt in fiscal 2005.

         Results for the second quarter of fiscals 2005 and 2004 also reflect
the impact of our equity investment in two limited partnerships, Colona SynFuel
Limited Partnership, L.L.L.P., and Somerset SynFuel, L.P., which produce
synthetic fuels. We remain a limited partner in the Somerset limited partnership
but have sold our ownership interest in the Colona limited partnership through a
series of three sales. We expect to receive payments from the sales on a
quarterly basis through 2007, which will range from 74.25% to 82.5% of the
federal income tax credits attributable to the interest sold.

         Income from synthetic fuel investments for the second quarter of fiscal
2005 also includes income related to our sale of our membership interest in the
limited liability company that owned a synthetic fuel facility in Gillette,
Wyoming. We received $2.8 million at the time of sale on March 30, 2004 along
with a secured contingent payment note that could provide additional investment
income to the Company. The facility resumed commercial operations during the
second quarter of fiscal 2005; as such, we received $3.5 million as a one-time
payment per the terms of the purchase agreement. In addition, we are eligible to
receive $1.50 per ton of "qualified production" produced by the facility and
sold through 2007. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we recognized
approximately $0.8 million of additional income from the qualified production.

         Our effective tax rate was 15.5% and (27.0%) for the second quarter of
fiscals 2005 and 2004, respectively, after reflecting our share of federal
income tax credits earned by the limited partnerships under Section 29 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2005 will depend on the
level of federal income tax credits generated by the limited partnerships, which
we do not control, and any limitations on those credits under the Internal
Revenue Code. Our effective tax rate was 15.2% and 7.9% for the first six months
of fiscals 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our effective tax was reduced for the
quarter and six months ended July 31, 2004 as a result of a $1.4 million
reduction in our valuation allowance for the alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards resulting from the conclusion in June 2004 of the Internal Revenue
Service audit of the Somerset partnership for certain years. The audit resulted
in no change to the tax credits for the period audited.

         During the quarter and six months ended July 31, 2005 we closed one and
five stores, respectively, that were classified as discontinued operations. As a
result of these closings and certain other store closings from prior periods, we
had a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax benefit, of $0.1 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to a loss of $0.3 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2004. We had a loss from discontinued operations, net
of tax benefit, of $0.3 million for the first half of fiscal 2005 compared to
$0.4 million for the first half of fiscal 2004.

         We sold one property during the first half of fiscal 2005 that had been
previously closed. As a result, we had a gain, net of tax expense, of $0.1
million.

         As a result of the foregoing, net income for the second quarter of
fiscal 2005 was $8.7 million, a 165.6% increase from $3.3 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2004. Net income for the first half of fiscal 2005 was $14.8
million, a 101.1% increase from $7.4 million for the first six months of fiscal
2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $8.8 million
for the first six months of fiscal 2005, compared to $14.4 million used in
operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2004. For the first half
of fiscal 2005, cash was provided by net income of $14.8 million, adjusted for
the impact of $16.4 million for gains on our installment sales of the limited
partnership interests, non-cash items of $2.0 million, which consisted of
depreciation and amortization, accounts receivable, deferred income, prepaid
expenses and loss on disposal of fixed assets. In addition, accounts payable
provided cash of $2.8 million, primarily a result of changes in inventory
levels. The primary use of cash was an increase in inventory of $9.6 million
primarily due to seasonal fluctuations. The other use of cash was a decrease in
other current liabilities of $2.3 million.

         At July 31, 2005, working capital was $89.3 million compared to $88.0
million at January 31, 2005. This increase is primarily a result of greater cash
proceeds from our synthetic fuel investments. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 2.4 to 1 at July 31, 2005 and 2.5 to 1 at January 31,
2005. We received our $9.0 million escrow deposit, in the second quarter of
fiscal 2005, related to our post due diligence termination of the escrow as to
our proposed investment in an ethanol production facility.

         During the first half of fiscal 2005, we received proceeds of $17.3
million from installment sales of our ownership interests in synthetic fuel
entities. We had capital expenditures of approximately $2.2 million during the
first six months of fiscal 2005, primarily related to the relocation of a store,
the purchase of a store previously leased and improvements to a distribution
center. We received proceeds of approximately $1.1 million from the sale of a
store previously closed and reported as discontinued operations.

         Cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $10.4 million
for the first six months of fiscal 2005. Cash was provided by stock option
activity of $3.8 million. We also recorded a tax benefit of approximately $1.6
million during the first half of fiscal 2005 from the exercise of non-qualified
stock options as an increase in additional paid-in capital. Cash of $4.0 million
was provided by an increase in the line of credit. Cash of $2.0 million was used
for scheduled payments of mortgage debt. Cash of approximately $16.2 million was
also used to acquire approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock. On
August 30, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors increased the Company's share
repurchase authorization by an additional 1 million shares. We currently have
approximately 1,256,000 authorized shares remaining available for purchase under
the stock buy-back program.

         WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Agent, the Parent, the Lenders, and the

         NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1.       Amendments to Loan Agreement.

         a.    Definitions: All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
               defined shall have the same meaning herein as in the Loan
               Agreement.

               Agreement are hereby amended as follows:


               (A)  The provisions of Section 9.05 of the Loan Agreement are
                    hereby amended by deleting the word "and" at the end of
                    Section 9.05(d), by deleting the period at the end of
                    Section 9.05(e) and substituting "; and" in its stead, and
                    adding the following new clause (f) to Section 9.05:

                    (f) Loans or dividends to the Parent for the purpose of the
                        Parent's purchasing investments in readily marketable,
                        direct obligations of the Government of the United
                        States of America or direct obligations of any federal
                        agency which obligations represent the full faith and
                        credit of the United States of America or senior debt
                        obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, for a
                        purchase price (excluding accrued interest on such
                        obligations not then due and payable by the obligor) not
                        to exceed $100,000,000, which are callable at par on or
                        before May 31, 2007; provided that the aggregate
                        principal amount of all such investments held by the
                        Parent at any one time shall not exceed $100,000,000,
                        and further provided that such loans and dividends shall
                        not exceed 10% of the aggregate purchase price of each
                        such investment.

               (B)  The provisions of Section 9.06 of the Loan Agreement are
                    hereby amended by deleting the word "and" at the end of
                    Section 9.06(h), by deleting the period at the end of
                    Section 9.06(i) and substituting "; and" in its stead, and
                    adding the following new clause (j) to Section 9.06:

                        Section 9.05(f).

2.       Consent Under Parent Guaranty. Notwithstanding limitations contained in
         Paragraph 14(g) of the Parent Guaranty, the Agent and the Required
         Lenders hereby consent to the following transactions:

         a.    The incurrence by the Parent of purchase money Indebtedness in
               connection with the acquisition of investments pursuant to clause
               (d) hereof in an amount not to exceed 100% of the purchase price
               of such investment, and any extensions, renewals or refinancings
               thereof.

         b.    The granting of Liens by the Parent to secure Indebtedness
               permitted pursuant to clause (a) hereof, so long as (i) any such
               Lien does not extend to or cover any asset of any Loan Party
               other than the investment made with the proceeds of such
               Indebtedness, and (ii) such Lien secures the obligation to pay
               the purchase price of such investment only.

         c.    The sale or other disposition of investments permitted under
               clause (d) hereof for cash and for fair market value and the
               repayment of Indebtedness described in clause (a) hereof with the
               net proceeds of any such sale or disposition.

         d.    The making of investments by the Parent in readily marketable,
               direct obligations of the Government of the United States of
               America or direct obligations of any federal agency which
               obligations represent the full faith and credit of the United
               States of America or senior debt obligations of the Federal Home
               Loan Bank System, for a purchase price not to exceed $100,000,000
               (excluding accrued interest on such obligations not then due and
               payable by the obligor), which are callable at par on or before
               May 31, 2007; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all
               investments permitted pursuant to this clause (d) held by the
               Parent at any one time shall not exceed $100,000,000.

3.       Conditions to Effectiveness. This First Amendment shall not be
         effective until each of the following conditions precedent have been
         fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Agent:

         a.    This First Amendment shall have been duly executed and delivered
               by the Borrowers, the Parent, the Agent and the Required Lenders.

                                       3

         b.    All action on the part of the Borrowers and the Parent necessary
               for the valid execution, delivery and performance by the
               Borrowers and the Parent of this First Amendment shall have been
               duly and effectively taken.

         c.    The Borrowers shall have reimbursed the Agent for all fees and
               expenses due and payable in connection herewith, including,
               without limitation, its reasonable attorneys' fees.

         d.    No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
               continuing.

         e.    The Borrowers and the Parent shall have provided such additional
               instruments, documents, and opinions of counsel to the Agent as
               the Agent and its counsel may have reasonably requested.

4.       Miscellaneous.

         a.    Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Loan
               Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and
               effect. The Borrowers and the Parent each hereby ratifies,
               confirms, and reaffirms all of the representations, warranties
               and covenants therein contained. Without limiting the generality
               of the foregoing, the Borrowers and the Parent each hereby
               acknowledges, confirms and agrees that all Collateral shall
               continue to secure the Obligations as modified and amended
               pursuant to this First Amendment, and any future modifications,
               amendments, substitutions or renewals thereof.

         b.    This First Amendment may be executed in several counterparts and
               by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so
               executed and delivered, shall be an original, and all of which
               together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed
               counterpart of a signature page hereto by telecopy shall be
               effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

         c.    This First Amendment expresses the entire understanding of the
               parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and
               supersedes all prior discussions or negotiations hereon. Any
               determination that any provision of this First Amendment or any
               application hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
               respect and in any instance shall not effect the validity,
               legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other
               instance, or the validity, legality or enforceability of any
               other provisions of this First Amendment.

                           [SIGNATURE PAGES TO FOLLOW]

     2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the

registrant and have:

          (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
     ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its
     consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
     entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
     prepared;

          (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
     such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our

     principles;

          (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
     controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about

     control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most
     recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case
     of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
     to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
     reporting; and

     5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

          (a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
     or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
     reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
     process, summarize and report financial information; and

          (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
     other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
     control over financial reporting.
