Elizabeth:

Here is a set of documents which might be useful as a starting point for your
situation. The idea in the transaction for which they were tailored was that
the California Energy Commission ("CEC") and three California UDC's would
divert payments they were otherwise required to make to a blackballed ESP
into the infamous "Lockbox." The bank-administrator of the Lockbox was to
swear in blood to send money coming into the lockbox to our account first and
dribble any leftovers to the blackballed ESP as they saw fit. Also, the
mili-second that the funds plunked into the Lockbox a virulent "Security
Interest" attached itself like a vampire to the juggler vein of these funds
and this security interest was for our benefit.

Although I am proud to have the name Yoder associated with the Lockbox
concept, I must in all modesty confess I have never closed out a real deal
using the damn thing. Stewart Rosman, an innovative trader who is well known
for his patience with the legal process, and later, John "Big Sky"
Malowney, tried valiantly to get Legal to implement this sturcture but
alas, I cannot yet put it on my resume as a triumph. Good luck and let me
know if I can help out in any way with your project.----cgy
