Any such Letter of Credit is referred to herein as an "Extended --------- Letter of Credit". The following provisions shall apply to ----------------- any Extended Letter of Credit, notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth herein. <page> (i) The participations of each Lender in each Extended Letter of Credit shall terminate at the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, with the effect that the Lenders shall not have any obligations to acquire participations in any LC Disbursement made thereafter. (ii) On or prior to the date that is 15 days prior to the Maturity Date (or on the date of any earlier termination of the Commitments) each Account Party shall deposit with each Issuing Bank an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to the Extended Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Account Party.

Moneys in such account shall be applied by the relevant Issuing Bank to reimburse LC Disbursements in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Account Party for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of such Account Party for the LC Exposure at such time. (iii) After the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the fees that would have accrued pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.11(b) (if the participations of the Lenders in the Extended Letters of Credit had not terminated) shall continue to accrue on the LC Exposure in respect of each Extended Letter of Credit and shall be payable to each applicable Issuing Bank for its own account. SECTION 3. Amendments of Section 6.05.
