|CP Conduit Purchasers, ratably, in accordance with the aggregate of the Commitments of the Committed Purchaser with respect to each such CP Conduit Purchaser, severally and not jointly, may, in their sole discretion, and if and to the extent any CP Conduit Purchaser does not make a purchase, the Committed Purchaser for such CP Conduit Purchaser shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, purchase Purchased Interests from the Seller from time to time from the Closing Date until the Facility Termination Date.  Under no circumstances shall any CP Conduit Purchaser make any such purchase, or the Committed Purchasers be obligated to make any such purchase (a) on or after the Facility Termination Date or (b) at any time, if, after giving effect to such purchase (i) the aggregate outstanding Capital of all Purchased Interests would exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Limit, or (ii) with respect to any Purchaser, the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser would exceed its Commitment and/or the sum of the Capital of such Purchaser, plus the aggregate Capital of each other Purchaser in its Group, would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of each such Committed Purchaser in such Group at such time.  Solely in the case of any Purchased Interest funded or maintained by a CP Conduit Purchaser, the applicable Funding Agent for such CP Conduit Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts, taking into account market conditions at such time, to cause such Purchased Interest to be funded or maintained through the issuance by such CP Conduit Purchaser of commercial paper or other short-term promissory notes in connection with its securitization program; provided, however, that such Funding Agent shall promptly, following its receipt of any request for funding pursuant to this Agreement, notify the Seller and the Collateral Agent if such Funding Agent or the applicable CP Conduit Purchaser has exercised its discretion not to fund or maintain such Purchased Interest through the issuance by such CP Conduit Purchaser of commercial paper or other short-term promissory notes (and, therefore, instead, fund such Purchased Interest at the applicable Alternate Rate at such time) because funding or maintaining such Purchased Interest through the issuance of such note would be economically inadvisable to such CP Conduit Purchaser, the Seller or any other similarly situated person or otherwise not permitted or available.

|Percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder shall be made upon the Seller's irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B delivered to the Collateral Agent and each Funding Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by the Collateral Agent and each Funding Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the requested purchase date, in the case of a purchase to be funded at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Eurodollar Rate, (ii) at least two (2) Business Days before the requested purchase date, in the case of a purchase to be funded at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Base Rate, and (iii) at least two (2) Business Days before the requested purchase date, in the case of a purchase to be funded at the CP Rate, which notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $1,000,000, being the Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased), (B) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the desired funding basis for such purchase (which shall be based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Base Rate or the CP Rate) and (D) the allocation of such amount among the Groups (which shall be proportional based on the Commitments of the Committed Purchasers in each such Group, as described in Section 1.1(a)).  If the Seller has requested that the purchase be funded at the CP Rate, each Funding Agent (on behalf of the related CP Conduit Purchaser) shall promptly thereafter notify the Collateral Agent, the related Committed Purchaser(s) and the Seller whether such CP Conduit Purchaser has exercised its discretion not to fund such purchase with the issuance of Notes because such purchase with the issuance of Notes would be economically inadvisable to such CP Conduit Purchaser, the Seller, the related Committed Purchaser or any other similarly situated Person, or otherwise not permitted, in which case the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that the purchase be funded at the Alternate Rate and be based upon the Base Rate.

|Transaction Documents, if a Termination Day shall have resulted due to the events in clause (e) of the definition of "Facility Termination Date", Collections with respect to any Portion of Capital funded or maintained by any member of any Group which includes an Exiting Liquidity Bank otherwise to be reinvested pursuant to this Section 1.4, shall not be reinvested and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of the members of such CP Conduit Purchaser's Group and shall be applied in accordance with this clause (g).  Instead of reinvesting such portion of Collections, the entire portion of Collections (based on such CP Conduit Purchaser's Group's ratable share of such Collections (calculated based on the outstanding Capital) shall be remitted to the applicable Administration Account on each Settlement Date, and applied to reduce such Group's portion of Capital pursuant to the related Liquidity Agreement; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such CP Conduit Purchaser's Group's ratable share of such Collections, the aggregate Capital of such Group shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of such Termination Day, until the date that each applicable Exiting Liquidity Bank has been paid in full.  On the date when all amounts representing Capital or Discount owing to each such Exiting Liquidity Bank shall have been reduced to zero and subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement and so long as the Facility Termination Date shall not have then occurred and be continuing (under any clause other than clause (e) of the definitions thereof), Collections with respect to any Portion of Capital funded or maintained by any remaining member of the related CP Conduit Purchaser's Group shall be reinvested pursuant to this Section 1.4, and shall be applied pursuant to this Section 1.4.  If a Facility Termination Date shall have occurred due solely to the events described in clause (e) of the definition of "Facility Termination Date", Collections with respect to any Portion of Capital funded or maintained by any member of any Group which does not include an Exiting Liquidity Bank shall otherwise be applied pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 1.4.

Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Purchaser as a Committed Purchaser and the resulting adjustment of the selling Committed Purchaser's Commitment arising from the purchase by the Purchaser of all or a portion of the selling Committed Purchaser's rights, obligations and interest hereunder.
