We are writing to you to set out the terms on which the Facility Letter is to be amended.

3.1.
Subject to the terms of clause 4 below, the Facility Letter shall be amended by the deletion of the date "30 September 2006" where it appears in the definition of "Review Date" in the Schedule and the substitution therefor of the date "28 January 2008".
 
3.2.
Except as herein expressly amended, the terms and conditions of the Facility Letter are hereby confirmed and any reference in the Facility Letter to "this letter" (or similar phrases) shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be read and construed as a reference to the Facility Letter as amended by this letter and all Security Documents shall continue to secure all sums due to BoS by the Borrowers under the Facility Letter as hereby amended.

Subject to Clause 4.2, Clause 3 shall not come into effect unless BoS has confirmed in writing to the Borrowers that:-

(b)
BoS has received a certificate in the form set out in the Schedule to this letter executed by a director of each of the Borrowers.
 
4.2.
If BoS does not confirm to the Borrowers in terms of Clause 4.1 on or prior to 31 January 2007 (or such other date as may be agreed in writing by BoS from time to time) then this letter will lapse and the amendments to be made in terms hereof will be of no effect.
