(2) If an amount contracted to be paid in a foreign money is to be measured by a differentmoney at the exchange rate prevailing on a date prior to default, that exchange rate applies onlyfor payments made a reasonable time after default, not to exceed 30 days. Thereafter, conversionis made at the bank-offered spot rate on the conversion date.

(b) If because of unexcused delay in payment of a judgment or award the amountreceived by the creditor does not equal the amount of the foreign money specified in theagreement, the court or arbitrator, as the case may be, has jurisdiction to and may amend thejudgment or award accordingly.
