1








WHEREAS, the Buyer, the Servicer and the Originators entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreement as of August 31, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified as of the date hereof the “Original Purchase and Sale Agreement”; as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.Definitions.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
SECTION 2.Amendments to Original Purchase and Sale Agreement.  Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a)Section 6.1(g) of the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
(g)    Payments on Receivables, Collection Accounts.  Such Originator (or the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer on its behalf) will, at all times, instruct all Obligors to deliver payments on the Pool Receivables (originated by such Originator) to a Collection Account or a Lock-Box; provided, that, with respect to any Receivables, the Originator of which is FCX (the “FCX Receivables”), up to five percent (5%) of payments related to such FCX Receivables may be remitted into an account that is not a Collection Account; provided, further, that upon notice by the Buyer or the Servicer to FCX that such remittance into an account that is not a Collection Account shall no longer be permitted, FCX shall promptly (but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the date of such notice) (or instruct the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer to) (x) transfer the funds related to the FCX Receivables that are on deposit in an account other than a Collection Account into a Collection Account, (y) no longer deposit such funds into an account other than a Collection Account and (z) instruct the related obligors to deposit any such funds into a Collection Account.  Such Originator (or the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer on its behalf) will, at all times, maintain such books and records as are necessary to identify Collections received from time to time on Pool Receivables originated by such Originator and to segregate such Collections from other property of the Servicer, the Sub-Servicers and the other Originators.  If any payments on such Pool Receivables or other Collections are received by such Originator, it shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Group Agents and the other Secured Parties and promptly (but in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt) remit such funds into a Collection Account (subject to the proviso above).  Such Originator shall not permit funds other than Collections on Pool Receivables and other Collateral 
2








and remittances of funds for Subject Receivables (subject to the proviso below) to be deposited into any Collection Account.  If such funds are nevertheless deposited into any Collection Account, such Originator (or the Servicer or Sub-Servicer on its behalf) shall within two (2) Business Days, (x) identify and transfer such funds to the appropriate Person entitled to such funds and (y) instruct such Person to no longer deposit any such funds into any such Collection Account.  Such Originator will not, and will not permit the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any other Originator or any other Person to commingle Collections or other funds to which the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or any other Secured Party is entitled with any other funds; provided, that, up to twenty percent (20%) of monthly cash receipts will be permitted to be related to the Subject Receivables; provided, further that, upon notice by the Buyer or the Servicer to the related Subject Originator that such commingling shall no longer be permitted, such Subject Originator shall promptly (but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the date of such notice) instruct such other Person to (x) transfer such funds related to the Subject Receivables into an account other than a Collection Account, (y) no longer deposit such funds into any Collection Account and (z) instruct the related obligors to no longer deposit any such funds into any such Collection Account.
(b)Schedule I to the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the schedule set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
(c)Schedule II to the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the schedule set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.
(d)Schedule IV to the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the schedule set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto.
SECTION 3.Representations, Warranties and Enforceability.  Each of the Originators hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer, as applicable, as of the date hereof with respect to itself, as follows: the representations and warranties of it contained in Article V of the Purchase and Sale Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (unless such representations and warranties contain a materiality qualification, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as made) on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of such date unless such representations and warranties by their terms refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless such representations and warranties contain a materiality qualification, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as made) on and as of such earlier date;
(b)no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, that constitutes a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or Unmatured Purchase and Sale Termination Event, as set forth in Section 8.1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement; and
(c)(i) the execution and delivery by it of this Amendment, and the performance of its obligations under this Amendment and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended hereby, are within its organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its 
3








part and (ii) this Amendment and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended hereby, are its valid and legally binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except (A) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (B) as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
