RECITALS

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have entered into that certain Receivables Purchase
Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Agreement as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Seller, Servicer and PNC are entering into a
Thirteenth Amended and Restated Fee Letter (the “Fee Letter”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements
contained herein and in the Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.Definitions.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein are used herein as defined in the Agreement.

SECTION 2.Amendments to the Agreement.  The Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:

(a)The following new Section 1.10 is hereby added to the Agreement immediately
following existing Section 1.9 thereof:

Section 1.10 Successor LMIR Index.  (a)  If the Administrator determines (which
determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either
(i) (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 1.9 have arisen and are unlikely
to be temporary, or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 1.9 have not
arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of  LMIR or a
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrator has made a
public statement identifying

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the specific date after which LMIR shall no longer be used for determining
interest rates for loans (such date, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), or (ii) a rate
other than LMIR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly
originated loans in U.S. dollars in the U.S. market, then the Administrator may
(in consultation with the Seller) choose a replacement index for LMIR and make
adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as
referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in Discount
based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in
Discount based on LMIR in effect prior to its replacement.

(b)The Administrator and the Seller shall enter into an amendment to this
Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other
related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the
Administrator, for the implementation and administration of the replacement
index-based rate.

(c)Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins,
and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration
to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of
interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted
from a rate based on LMIR to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also
reflect adjustments to account for (A) the effects of the transition from LMIR
to the replacement index and (B) yield- or risk-based differences between LMIR
and the replacement index.

(d)Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this
Section 1.10 is effective, any Portion of Capital for which Discount is
determined by reference to LMIR will continue to accrue Discount with reference
to LMIR, provided however, that if the Administrator determines (which
determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR
Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all
Portions of Capital for which Discount would otherwise be determined with
reference to LMIR shall automatically begin accruing Discount with reference to
the Base Rate until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and
related matters as described above is implemented.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the
replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed
to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)The following new defined terms and definitions are hereby added to Exhibit I
to the Agreement in appropriate alphabetical order:  

“Beneficial Ownership Rule” means 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230.

“LIBOR Termination Date” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.10 of the
Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(c)Clause (a) of the definition of “Facility Termination Date” set forth in
Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the date “October 26,
2018” with the date “October 25, 2019” where it appears therein.

(d)The definition of “Purchase Limit” set forth in Exhibit I to the Agreement is
hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

“Purchase Limit” means (i) at any time on or after October 26, 2018 and prior to
but excluding May 1, 2019, $150,000,000 and (ii) at any time on and after May 1,
2019, $75,000,000, in each case, as such amount may be subsequently reduced
pursuant to Section 1.1(b) of the Agreement; provided, that any such reduction
of the Purchase Limit then in effect pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, as
applicable, shall automatically and permanently reduce the amount of the
Purchase Limit set forth in such other clauses above in the same proportion as
the percentage of the reduction of the Purchase Limit then in
effect.  References to the unused portion of the Purchase Limit shall mean, at
any time, the Purchase Limit minus the then outstanding Capital.

(e)The following new Section 1(y) is hereby added to Exhibit III to the
Agreement immediately following existing Section 1(x) thereof:

(y)As of October 26, 2018, the Seller is an entity that is organized under the
laws of the United States or of any state and at least 51% of whose common stock
or analogous equity interest is owned directly or indirectly by a company listed
on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or designated as a
NASDAQ National Market Security listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange and is
excluded on that basis from the definition of “Legal Entity Customer” as defined
in the Beneficial Ownership Rule.

(f)The following new Section 1(t) is hereby added to Exhibit IV to the Agreement
immediately following existing Section 1(s) thereof:

(t)Beneficial Ownership Rule. Promptly following any change that would result in
a change to the status as an excluded Legal Entity Customer under the Beneficial
Ownership Rule, the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Administrator and
the Issuer a certification of the Seller as to its beneficial owner(s) complying
with the Beneficial Ownership Rule, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Administrator and the Issuer.

SECTION 3.Certain Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  Each of the

executed in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision
contained therein, except as specifically set forth herein.
