5.  The ARC controlling these INTERFACES is:
	PSARC

6.  The CASE describing these INTERFACES is:
	PSARC/2004/181

7.  The following SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS are made which modify the rules
    imposed by the stability levels listed in section 4 above:

    7a.	Although the stability level does not normally allow it, the
	SUPPLIER will expose the INTERFACES to the CONSUMER.
 
    7b.	If SUPPLIER decides to change (including replace or remove) any
	portion of the INTERFACES, SUPPLIER will notify CONSUMER of the
	proposed new version, no later than the application for ARC
	approval of the new version.
	As the SUPPLIER and COMSUMER are in the same consolidation, it
	is expected that they will both convert to the new interfaces
	simultaneously.

8. If CONSUMER requires changes in INTERFACES, SUPPLIER will make
   best effort to accommodate such changes, which shall then be
   treated in accordance with paragraph 7 above. The CONSUMER will not
   directly change the INTERFACES.

9. Notwithstanding paragraphs 7 and 8, a change to any portion
   of the INTERFACES shall be regarded as a completely new set of
   INTERFACES which require both ARC approval and execution of
   a new contract.

    handled as follows:
	There will be no evolution of the INTERFACES.
