contained herein.
     (d) Section 10.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     Section 10.2 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If any Regulatory
Change, except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a
Purchaser or Affected Entity or taxes excluded by Section 10.1, (i) subjects any
Purchaser or any Affected Entity to any charge or withholding on or with respect
to this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement or a Purchaser’s or Affected
Entity’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or on
or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments
to any Purchaser or any Affected Entity of any amounts payable under this
Agreement or any other Funding Agreement or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems
applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit
or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
or liabilities of an Affected Entity or a Purchaser, or credit extended by an
Affected Entity or a Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other Funding
Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to an Affected Entity or a Purchaser of
performing its obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement,
or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Entity’s or Purchaser’s capital
as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding
Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an
Affected Entity or a Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Funding
Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of
interests or loans held or interest received by it then, on the forty-fifth
(45th) day after demand by the related Co-Agent, Seller shall pay (without
duplication of any amounts payable as described in Section 10.4 below) to such
Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity or Purchaser, such
amounts charged to such Affected Entity or Purchaser or such amounts to
otherwise compensate such Affected Entity or such Purchaser for such increased
cost or such reduction. To the extent that any Funding Agreement described in
this Section covers facilities in addition to the facility

3

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

 

evidenced by this Agreement, each Conduit shall allocate the liability for any
applicable increased costs or reductions among Seller and other Persons with
whom such Conduit has entered into agreements to purchase interests in or
finance receivables and other financial assets (“Other Customers”). If any
increased costs or reductions payable pursuant to this paragraph (a) are
attributable to Seller and not attributable to any Other Customer, Seller shall
be solely liable for such increased costs or reductions. However, if any such
increased costs or reductions are attributable to Other Customers and not
attributable to Seller, such Other Customer shall be solely liable for such
increased costs or reductions. All allocations to be made pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall be made by such Conduit in its sole
discretion and shall be binding on Seller and the Servicer. The term “Regulatory
Change” shall mean (i) the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law,
rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy) or any change therein after the date hereof, (ii) any change
after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, or (iii) the compliance, whether commenced
prior to or after the date hereof, by any Affected Entity or Purchaser with the
final rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines;
Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper
Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted by the United States bank regulatory
agencies on December 15, 2009, or any rules or regulations promulgated in
connection therewith by any such agency.
          (b) A certificate of the applicable Purchaser or Affected Entity
setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such
Purchaser or Affected Entity pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2 and
explaining the manner in which such amount was determined shall be delivered to
the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay
such Purchaser or Affected Entity the amount as due on any such certificate on
the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.
          (c) If any Purchaser or any Affected Entity (A) has or anticipates
having any claim for compensation from the Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of
the definition of Regulatory Change appearing in paragraph (a) of this
Section 10.2, and (B) such Purchaser or Affected Entity believes that having the
facility evidenced by this Agreement publicly rated by two credit rating
agencies (or, if the applicable Purchaser or Affected Entity determines that the
rating of a single credit rating agency is sufficient to achieve the same
effect, by one credit rating agency) would reduce the amount of such
compensation by an amount deemed by such Purchaser or Affected Entity to be
material, then such Purchaser or Affected Entity shall provide written notice to
the Seller and the Servicer that such Purchaser or Affected Entity intends to
request such public rating(s) of this facility from two credit rating agencies
(or one credit rating agency, as applicable) selected by such Purchaser or
Affected Entity and reasonably acceptable to the Seller, which rating(s) shall
be at least “A” from S&P and “A2” from Moody’s, or the equivalent thereof from
any other such credit rating agency (the “Required Rating(s)”). The Seller and
the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Purchaser’s or Affected
Entity’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating(s), and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide the applicable credit rating agencies (or credit
rating agency, as applicable), either directly or through distribution to the
Administrative Agent, Purchaser or Affected Entity, any information

4

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

 

(subject to the agreement of each applicable credit rating agency to maintain
the confidentiality of any information so provided which relates to any Obligor)
requested by such credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as
applicable) for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating(s). The
Seller shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or
credit rating agency, as applicable) for providing the rating(s) and all ongoing
fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as
applicable) for their continued monitoring of the rating(s). Nothing in this
Section 10.2(c) shall preclude any Purchaser or Affected Entity from demanding
compensation from the Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof at any time and
without regard to whether the Required Rating(s) shall have been obtained, or
shall require any Purchaser or Affected Entity to obtain any ratings on the
facility evidenced by this Agreement prior to demanding any such compensation
from the Seller; provided, however, in demanding such compensation the
applicable Purchaser or Affected Entity shall take into account and give effect
to any reduction in amounts payable under Section 10.2(a) due to the Required
Rating(s) having been obtained.
     (e) Article X of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended by inserting
the following provision as new Section 10.4 immediately after Section 10.3
thereof:
     Section 10.4 Accounting Based Consolidation Event. Upon demand by the
related Co-Agent, Seller shall pay to such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the
relevant Affected Entity, such amounts (without duplication of any amounts
payable as described in Section 10.2 above) as such Affected Entity reasonably
determines will compensate or reimburse such Affected Entity for any (i) fee,
expense or increased cost charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such
Affected Entity, (ii) reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Entity’s
capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Affected Entity or (iii) internal capital charge or other imputed cost, in each
case, as determined by such Affected Entity to be allocable to Seller or the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement, in each case resulting from or in
connection with the consolidation, for financial and/or regulatory accounting
purposes, of all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit
that are subject to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with all or
any portion of the assets and liabilities of an Affected Entity; provided,
however, that in no event may any Affected Entity (or the applicable Co-Agent on
its behalf) with respect to any Conduit claim or receive reimbursement or
compensation for amounts under this Section 10.4 (x) that would result in the
total compensation payable to it and all other Affected Entities with respect to
such Conduit (inclusive of Yield and fees) exceeding the total compensation that
would have been payable to all such Affected Entities immediately prior to such
consolidation if purchases of Purchaser Interests had been made by the related
Committed Purchaser pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement or (y) which were
charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such Affected Entity on or before
February 19, 2010. Amounts under this Section 10.4 may be demanded at any time
without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by the
Conduit or by any Affected Entity. A certificate of the Affected Entity setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such Affected Entity
pursuant to this Section 10.4 and explaining the manner in which such amount was
determined shall be delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Affected Entity the amount as due on
any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such
notice.
