thereof, a new subsection 10.3(c) as follows:

          (c)  Special Mandatory Prepayment of Purchase price (Series 1984A
     Bonds).   If, as a result of the failure of the Company to observe any
     covenant,  agreement  or  representation  in  the Contract, a court of
     competent  jurisdiction or an administrative agency finally determines
     (such  determination not to be considered final unless the Company has
     been  given written notice and, if it so desires, has been afforded an
     opportunity,  at the Company's expense, to contest, either directly or
     in  the  name  of  any  holder  of  a  Series  1984A  Bond,  any  such
     determination or until conclusion of any appellate review if sought by
     the  Company)  that  the  interest payable on any Series 1984A Bond is
     includible  for  federal  income  tax purposes in the gross income, as
     defined  in  Section  61  of the Code, of any holder of a Series 1984A
     Bond  (other  than  a  "substantial user" of the Project or a "related
     person" as defined in the Code), the Company shall, within 180 days of
     the  time  of  such  final determination, prepay so much of the unpaid
     balance of the purchase price of the Project as shall be sufficient to
     provide  for  the redemption of all or any portion of the Series 1984A
     Bonds  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of Section 301(h) of the
     Indenture on the date selected for redemption at a redemption price of
     100%  of  the  principal  amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the
     redemption date, but without premium.  The Company will give notice to
     the  Issuer  and  the  Trustee  in  writing  of  the date selected for
     redemption  not  later  than  90  days  after  the  date of such final
     determination,  such redemption date to be not more than 90 days after
     the date of such written notice.

          (a)    Except  as  provided  in Section 10.10 hereof, the Company
     hereby  agrees  to  purchase  on  the  first day of each Interest Rate
     Period (except the first Interest Rate Period) all of the Series 1984A
     Bonds  or  portions  thereof properly tendered to the Tender Agent for
     purchase  in  accordance with Section 307 of the Indenture, at a price
     equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that
     if  and  to the extent the Remarketing Agent sells all or a portion of
     the  Series 1984A Bonds so tendered for purchase, the Company shall be
     deemed  to  have satisfied its obligation to purchase the Series 1984A
     Bonds  so  tendered  for  purchase  and  resold  as  described in this
     subsection 10.9(a).

          (b)    To  comply with the requirements of subsection (a) of this
     Section  10.9,  the  Company  shall  deposit  with the Tender Agent in
     immediately available funds an amount that, together with the proceeds
     received by the Remarketing Agent from the sale of all or a portion of
     the  Series  1984A  Bonds tendered for purchase, will be sufficient to
     cause the Tender Agent to purchase on behalf of the Company all of the
     Series 1984A Bonds tendered for purchase.

          (c)  On or before the date on which the Series 1984A Bonds are to
     be  purchased  pursuant to tenders made in accordance with Section 307
     of  the  Indenture the Company shall obtain from the Remarketing Agent
     and  deliver  to  the  Tender  Agent  a  certificate setting forth the
     numbers  and  principal  amounts of all Series 1984A Bonds sold by the
     Remarketing  Agent  and the price or prices at which such Series 1984A
     Bonds were sold.

                                                               Exhibit 4.14

to  Purchase the Series 1984A Bonds.  Article X of the Original Contract is
hereby amended by adding at the end thereof a new Section 10.10 as follows:

          Section  10.10.   Option to Terminate the Company's Obligation to
     Purchase   the  Series  1984A  Bonds;  Automatic  Termination  of  the
     Company's Obligation to Purchase The Series 1984A Bonds.

          (a)    The  Company  may  elect to terminate its obligation under
     Section 10.9 hereof to purchase all of the Series 1984A Bonds tendered
     for  purchase  by  delivering  to  the Trustee, the Issuer, the Tender
     Agent  and the Remarketing Agent on or before December 26 if the Fixed
     Rate Date is to be after January 1, 1985 and on or before the 26th day
     of  the  second  month preceding the Fixed Rate Date if the Fixed Rate
     Date  is  to  be  on  or before January 1, 1985, written notice of its
     intention so to do, together with a written opinion of Bond Counsel to
     the  effect that the termination of such obligation will not cause the
     interest on the Series 1984A Bonds or any thereof to become subject to
     federal  income  tax.   Upon receipt by the Trustee of notice from the
     Company  of  its election to terminate its obligation to purchase such
     Series  1984A  Bonds, the Trustee will give notice on January 1 (or on
     the  first  day of the month immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Date
     if  the  Fixed Rate Date is to be on or before January 1, 1985) to the
     registered  owners  of  Series  1984A Bonds that beginning in the next
     Interest  Rate  Period  and  for each Interest Rate Period thereafter,
     such  Series  1984A Bonds will bear interest at the rate determined in
     a c c ordance  with  Section  201(c)(ii)  of  the  First  Supplemental
     Indenture.    After  the Fixed Rate Date, the Series 1984A Bonds shall
     bear  interest  at  such rate and the Company shall no longer have any
     obligation to purchase Series 1984A Bonds tendered for purchase.

          (b)    In  the event that prior to the Fixed Rate Date, the Fixed
     Rate  Index  on  November  26  and  December  26  in  1985 or any year
     thereafter  is  5% or lower, the obligation of the Company to purchase
     all  of  the Series 1984A Bonds tendered for purchase on February 1 of
     any  year  after  the year in which the Fixed Rate Index reached 5% or
     lower shall terminate.
