(e)           Amendments to Sections 2.6 of the Existing Agreement.







(i)            Sections 2.6(b) and (c) of the Existing Agreement are hereby amended in their entirety to read as follows:


 


(b)           Permitted Additions.  The Seller may from time to time, at its sole discretion, subject to the conditions described in Subsection 2.6(d), designate additional Eligible Accounts to be included as Accounts as of the applicable Addition Date; provided that the requirement in clause (vi) of Subsection 2.6(d) shall only apply if such addition of Accounts would cause any of the limitations described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the second paragraph of Subsection 2.6(c) to be exceeded.







(c)           Automatic Additional Accounts.  Subject to the limitations specified below in this Section 2.6(c), the applicable conditions specified in subsection 2.6(d) and to any further limitations specified in any Supplement, Automatic Additional Accounts shall be included as Accounts from and after the date upon which they are created, and all Receivables in Automatic Additional Accounts purchased by the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, whether such Receivables are then existing or thereafter created, shall be transferred automatically to the Trust upon their creation.  For all purposes of this Agreement, all receivables relating to Automatic Additional Accounts shall be treated as Receivables upon their creation and shall be subject to the eligibility criteria specified in the definitions of “Eligible Receivable” and “Eligible Account.”  The Seller may elect at any time to terminate the inclusion in Accounts of new accounts which would otherwise be Automatic Additional Accounts as of any Business Day (the “Automatic Addition Termination Date”), or suspend any such inclusion as of any Business Day (an “Automatic Addition Suspension Date”) until a date (the “Restart Date”) to be notified in writing by the Seller to the Trust by delivering to the Trustee, Servicer and each Rating Agency prior written notice of such election at least 10 days prior to such Automatic Addition Termination Date, Automatic Addition Suspension Date or Restart Date, as the case may be.  Promptly after any of an Automatic Addition Termination Date, an Automatic Addition Suspension Date and a Restart Date, the Seller agrees to authorize, record and file (and the Trustee authorizes the Seller to record and file) at the Seller’s own expense such amendment to the financing statements referred to in Section 2.1 as may be necessary to specify the accounts then subject to this Agreement (which specification may incorporate a list of accounts by reference) and, except in connection with any such filing made after a Restart Date, to release any security interest in any accounts created after the Automatic Addition Termination Date or Automatic Addition Suspension Date.







In addition, unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied, no new accounts that would otherwise be Automatic Additional Accounts shall be treated as such if:

(i)             the aggregate balance of Receivables in Automatic Additional Accounts, plus the aggregate balance of Receivables in Supplemental Accounts added without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, in each case designated during the twelve month (or shorter) period beginning on the first day of the calendar year in which such addition would occur would exceed 15% of the aggregate balance of Receivables determined as of the first day of such calendar year; or







(ii)            the aggregate balance of Receivables in Automatic Additional Accounts, plus the aggregate balance of Receivables in Supplemental Accounts added without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, in each case designated during any calendar quarter commencing in January, April, July and October of each calendar year would exceed 10% of the aggregate balance of Receivables determined as of the first day of the calendar year during which such calendar quarter commences; or







(iii)           the number of Automatic Additional Accounts, plus the number of Supplemental Accounts added without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, in each case designated during a twelve month (or shorter) period beginning on the first day of the calendar year in which such addition would occur would exceed 15% of the number of Accounts determined as of the first day of such calendar year; or







(iv)           the number of Automatic Additional Accounts, plus the number of Supplemental Accounts added without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, in each case designated in any calendar quarter commencing in January, April, July and October would exceed 10% of the number of Accounts determined as of the first day of the calendar year during which such calendar quarter commences.







The Seller may from time to time, at its sole discretion, subject to the limitations described in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) and the conditions described in Subsection 2.6(d), designate additional Eligible Accounts to be included as Supplemental Accounts as of the applicable Addition Date.







Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 2.6(d), with respect to the addition of Automatic Additional Accounts, the conditions in clauses (vii) and (viii) of Subsection 2.6(d) are required to be satisfied by the Determination Date following the last day of the Due Period in which such Automatic Additional Accounts are designated.







(ii)           Section 2.6(d) is hereby amended by deleting the words “clauses (i) and (vi)” and substituting with the words “clauses (i), (ii) and (vi)” therefor and by amending clauses (iv) and (v) thereof in their entirety to read as follows:

(iv)          the Seller shall represent and warrant that, as of the Addition Date, this Agreement, together with the related Assignment, if any, constitutes either (x) a valid sale to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables then existing and thereafter created from time to time in the Additional Accounts until the termination of the Trust, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all Collections, all Recoveries, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Receivables, and all proceeds of the foregoing and such property will be held by the Trust free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Seller or any of its Affiliates, or (y) a grant of a security interest (as defined in the UCC as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction) in such property to the Trust, which is enforceable with respect to then existing Receivables in the Additional Accounts, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all Collections, all Recoveries, and all proceeds of the foregoing, upon the Conveyance of such Receivables to the Trust, and which will be enforceable with respect to the Receivables thereafter created from time to time in respect of Additional Accounts conveyed on such Addition Date until the termination of the Trust, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto,  all Collections, all Recoveries, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Receivables, and all proceeds of the foregoing upon such creation; and (z) if this Agreement, together with the related Assignment, if any, constitutes the grant of a security interest to the Trust in such property, upon the filing of financing statements as described in Section 2.1 with respect to such Additional Accounts and the Receivables thereafter created from time to time in such Additional Accounts until the termination of the Trust, monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all Collections, all Recoveries, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Receivables, and proceeds of the foregoing, upon the creation of such property, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such property (subject to Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction), free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Seller or any of its Affiliates;

(iv)           the Seller shall represent and warrant that, as of the Addition Date, the Assignment constitutes either (x) a valid transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables then existing and thereafter created in the Automatic Additional Accounts, and all proceeds of such Receivables and Insurance Proceeds relating thereto and such Receivables and all proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds and Recoveries relating thereto will be held by the Trust free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Seller or any of its Affiliates, except for Liens permitted under Section 2.5(b) or (y) a grant of a security interest in such property to the Trust, which is enforceable with respect to then existing Receivables in the Automatic Additional Accounts, the proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds and Recoveries relating thereto upon the conveyance of such Receivables to the Trust, and which will be enforceable with respect to the Receivables thereafter created in respect of Automatic Additional Accounts conveyed on such Addition Date, the proceeds thereof and Insurance Proceeds and Recoveries relating thereto upon such creation; and (z) if the Assignment constitutes the grant of a security interest to the Trust in such property, upon the filing of a financing statement as described in Section 2.1 with respect to such Automatic Additional Accounts and in the case of the Receivables thereafter created in such Automatic Additional Accounts and the proceeds thereof, and Insurance Proceeds and Recoveries relating thereto, upon such creation, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such property (subject to Section 9-306 of the UCC), except for Liens permitted under Section 2.5(b); and
