RECITALS

1. The parties hereto are parties to the Amended and Restated Receivables

supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Agreement”);
and

2. The parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 2. Amendment to the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Sections 1(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iv) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Information Package covering the
month of February 2013 (the “February Report”) shall be delivered by the Seller
and the Servicer to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent on or prior to
March 31, 2013, rather than on or prior to the date that is two Business Days
prior to the Settlement Date in March 2013. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the
Settlement Date occurring in March 2013 shall continue to occur on March 18,
2013 notwithstanding the delayed delivery of the February Report as contemplated
hereby, (ii) the Seller and the Servicer’s delivery of the February Report in
accordance with this Amendment shall be deemed to constitute timely delivery
thereof for all purposes of the Transaction Documents (including, without
limitation, Sections 1(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iv) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement) and (iii) the parties hereto are not hereby agreeing to the
delayed delivery of any Information Package other than the February Report.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Seller and the Servicer
hereby represents and warrants to the Administrator, each Purchaser and the
Purchaser Agent as follows:

(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by
it in the Transaction Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof
(unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such
representations or warranties were true and correct as of such earlier date).

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

(b) Enforceability. The execution and delivery by such Person of this Amendment,
and the performance of each of its obligations under this Amendment and the
Agreement, as amended hereby, are within each of its organizational powers and
have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on its part.
This Amendment and the Agreement, as amended hereby, are such Person’s valid and
legally binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) No Termination Event. Both before and immediately after giving effect to
this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, no Termination Event or
Unmatured Termination Event exists or shall exist.

SECTION 4. Effect of Amendment. All provisions of the Agreement, as expressly
amended and modified by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect.
After this Amendment becomes effective, all references in the Agreement (or in
any other Transaction Document) to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “herein” or words
of similar effect referring to the Agreement shall be deemed to be references to
the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment shall not be deemed,
either expressly or impliedly, to waive, amend or supplement any provision of
the Agreement other than as set forth herein.

SECTION 5. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date
hereof upon receipt by the Administrator of counterparts to this Amendment duly
executed by each of the parties hereto.

counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile
or email of an executed signature page of this Amendment shall be effective as
delivery of an originally executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.
