The first sentence of paragraph 4 of the Policy is hereby amended as follows, with the change in bold.

The first sentence of paragraph 5 of the Policy is hereby amended as follows, with the change in bold.

“Exceptional transactions will be conducted with such counterparties and will be for such duration as the Bank chooses, subject to a maximum term for any transaction of 380 days.”
