1.8 Section 6.1(xiii) is re-designated as Section 6.1(xiv) and a

aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed an amount equal to
the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000,000;" and (b) adding the following to the end
thereof: "For purposes of this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding amount of
monetary obligations under any receivables factoring, receivable sales or
similar transactions shall be based on the aggregate outstanding amount sold,
assigned, discounted or otherwise transferred for which the underlying
receivable or similar asset has not been collected from the relevant account
debtor or similar obligor thereon and all monetary obligations under any
synthetic lease, tax ownership/operating lease, off-balance sheet financing or
