According to the Additional Amendment in question of June 30, 1949, clauses I and II of the aforementioned Extension Agreement of October 30, 1948, were changed to read as follows: CLAUSE I The cooperative education program provided for in the Basic Agreement is hereby extended for an additional period of two years from June 30, 1948 through June 30, 1950. CLAUSE II In addition to the funds required by the Basic Agreement to be contributed or otherwise made available by the parties thereto with respect to the cooperative education program, which funds heretofore have been contributed or otherwise made available, the parties hereto shall contribute and make available funds for use in continuing the cooperative education program during the period covered by this Extension Agreement, in accordance with the following schedule: 1. The Institute shall make available the funds necessary to pay the salaries and all other expenses of its Education Division field staff in Brazil, during the period covered by this Extension Agreement, provided that the amount of such funds shall not exceed US$125,000.00. This amount shall be administered by the Institute and shall not be deposited to the credit of the Comissão Brasileiro-Americana de Educação Industrial (hereinafter referred to as the "CBAI"). 2. Fifteen days after the registration of the Brazilian appropriation the Institute shall deposit, in the CBAI special bank account (hereinafter referred to as the "CBAI bank account"), in the Banco do Brasil, the sum of US$100,000.00 or its equivalent in Cruzeiros (which, at the exchange rate of Cr$18,50 to $1.00 equals Cr$1.850.000,00). 3.
