Management Agreement as hereinafter set forth.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
I. AMENDMENT TO WAREHOUSE LOAN AGREEMENT:
1. The definition of "Revolving Termination Date" contained in Section 1.01
of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the date "August 27, 2004"
occurring therein and by inserting "August 26, 2005" in place thereof.
II. AMENDMENT TO OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, SERVICING AND
REMARKETING AGREEMENT
1. Section 8.02 of the Management Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
clause (i) thereof and by inserting the following clause (i) in place thereof:
"(i) if the long term Dollar-denominated rating of Trinity (x) by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇,
falls below ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ "Senior Implied" "B2" category, or (y) by S&P, falls below
S&P's "Corporate Credit" "B" category, or Trinity shall cease to be rated by S&P
or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ (other than in circumstances where S&P and/or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ shall no longer
provide ratings and Trinity shall have obtained an equivalent rating from an
internationally recognized rating agency)."
2. Section 8.06 of the Management Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
first sentence occurring therein and by inserting the following sentence in
place thereof:
"In the event that the long term Dollar-denominated rating of Trinity (x)

falls below S&P's "Corporate Credit" "BB" category, or Trinity shall cease to be
rated by S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ (other than in circumstances where S&P and/or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇
shall no longer provide ratings and Trinity shall have obtained an equivalent
rating from an internationally recognized rating agency), the Company and the
Manager shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 6
months of such downgrade, appoint a back-up Manager (the "Back-up Manager")
which is reasonably acceptable to all of the Lenders, the Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and
S&P, which Back-up Manager shall otherwise meet the criteria applicable to a
Successor Manager set forth in Section 8.04."

2. Representations and Warranties. The Manager and the Borrower each
represent and warrant that its respective representations and warranties
contained in Article V of the Agreement and Article X of the Management

representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date.
3. Effect of Amendment. All provisions of the Agreement and the Management
Agreement, as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, shall remain in
full force and effect. After this Amendment becomes effective, all references in

be references to the Agreement or the Management Agreement as amended hereby.
4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile shall be

accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.
