Amendment No. 2 to the December Facility Leases was reported to the Commission by letter from Mr. Moore of this firm dated November 20, 1986.

March 30, 1987 Page 2 Effect a slight reduction in rent. In November 1986, when the December Facility Leases were most recently amended, the Basic Rent percentage included rent with respect to an investment in the Palo Verde real estate, which rent was duplicative of rent already provided for in Section 21 of each of the Facility Leases.

To include in Section '16 of the December Facility Leases an additional remedy for a lessee default. The remedy is to conform the December Facility Leases in this regard to the Facility Lease con-

'ummated on August 1, 1986, with respect to,,an undivided interest in Palo Verde

'nit 1 (a copy of whichwas,submitted to the Commission under cover of a letter from Mr. Moore of this firm dated August 6,'986.) 'In connection with such additional remedy, certain minor technical and conforming amendments will be required in Section 16.

In the case of the December Facility Leases in respect of which MFS Leasing Corp. ("MFS") and Burnham Leasing Corporation ("Burnham") are the owner participants, the definitions of "Final Shutdown" and "Event of Loss" are being amended to conform to similar definitions set forth in Facility Leases relating to Unit 2 in respect of which MFS and Burnham are also the owner participants (copies of which Unit 2 Facility Leases were submitted to the Commission under cover of a letter from Mr. Moore of this firm dated September 4, 1986).

In the case of the December Facility Lease in respect of which Chrysler Financial Corporation is the owner participant, the definitions of "Final Shutdown" and "Event of Loss" are being

amended to add thereto certain events constituting events of "Final Shutdown" and "Events of Loss" under (i) the

'ugustl, 1986 Facility Lease ab'ove,and (ii) the Unit Leases referr'ed to above.

2 Facility referredo C

Amendment No. 3 may amend the definition of "Undivided Interest Per'centage" to expressly set forth the applicable percentages for the respective interests in Unit 1 and in common facilities.

Consistent with previous practice, assuming execution as presently contemplated, we plan to file the amendments with the NRC after execution.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Yours very truly, KELEHER 8 McLEOD, P.A.
