Letters of Credit (including the Present Letters of Credit) issued and
outstanding hereunder shall not at any one time exceed the U.S. Dollar

Characteristics) shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:
(c)    General Characteristics. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be
payable in U.S. Dollars or an Available Foreign Currency, conform to the general
requirements of the Bank for the issuance of a standby letter of credit as to
form and substance, and be a letter of credit which the Bank may lawfully issue.
1.3.    Section 3 of the Credit Agreement (Fees, Prepayments, Portion,

inserting a new Section 3.3A immediately after Section 3.3 that shall read as

each amendment thereto having the effect of increasing the amount thereof,

denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the amount of U.S. Dollars which
would be realized by converting the relevant Available Foreign Currency into
U.S. Dollars in the spot market at the exchange rate quoted by the Bank, at

in the interbank foreign exchange market for the purchase of U.S. Dollars for
