Article 2 of the Agreement entitled “Amount and Term” (Montant et Durée) shall be replaced and modified as follows:
The Banks have placed at the disposal of the Borrower, in accordance with the methods and conditions defined in the Agreement, a Credit Facility of a maximum amount of EUR 70,000,000.00 (seventy million euros), starting from March 14, 2008, for a term of six months. The Credit Facility was extended until 10/31/2008 by Amendment no. 1 dated 08/14/2008.
At the Borrower’s request, by 10/15/2008 at the latest, this credit facility could be renewed once up until 03/14/2009 if unanimously agreed by the Banks, date by which both capital and interest must have been reimbursed in full.
On 10/09/2008, the Borrower requested the extension of the credit facility.
The Banks have unanimously decided to extend the abovementioned Credit Facility, reduced to a maximum amount of EUR 55,000,000.00 (fifty-five million euros) starting from the signature of this Amendment, up until 03/14/2009.
Each Bank shall participate in the Credit Facility at the level of the amounts indicated in Schedule 1.
