2.2 Amendment to Section 2.04 (Extension of Maturity Date).
Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the last two sentences of Section 2.04 and replacing them with the following four sentences:
“If the Borrowers elect to so extend the Maturity Date, the Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders), the following extension fees on the following dates: (i) on or before March 18, 2016, an extension fee equal to 0.0833% of the Credit Facility Amount as at March 18, 2016; (ii) on or before July 18, 2016, an extension fee equal to 0.0833% of the Credit Facility Amount as at July 18, 2016; and (iii) on or before November 18, 2016, an extension fee equal to 0.10% of the Credit Facility Amount as at November 18, 2016.
