1. | Section 6.01 of the Credit Facility Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
“The Borrower shall pay interest to the Bank on the outstanding principal amount of all obligations owing to the Bank hereunder on the applicable interest payment date as agreed upon between the Borrower and the Bank and at a rate of 3M LIBOR plus 3.50% p.a. Interest on any overdue amount of principal amount of all obligations owing to the Bank hereunder and any interest accrued thereon shall be payable on demand at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days) equal at all times to the Bank’s cost of funds plus 2.00%.”
