			AGREEMENT
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, 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 Used Herein.   Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth for such terms in, or incorporated by reference into, the Sale Agreement.




			
	
			
				 Section 2.
			Amendment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Sale Agreement is hereby amended as follows:




			
	
			
				 (a)
			The definition of "Receivable" appearing in Exhibit I of the Sale Agreement is hereby amended and restated, in its entirety, to read as follows:




		

		

		 

 


		

			Amendment No.9 to

		


		

			Receivables Sale Agreement

		




		""Receivable" means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to Originator (at the time it arises, and before giving effect to any transfer or conveyance under the Agreement) or Buyer (after giving effect to the transfers under the Agreement) or in which Originator or Buyer has a security interest or other interest (including,  without limitation, any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible), arising in connection with the sale of merchandise or the rendering of services by Originator, and further includes,  without limitation, the obligation to pay any Finance Charges with respect thereto; provided, that 'Receivable' shall not include any Excluded Receivable.  Indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any one transaction, including,  without limitation, indebtedness and other rights and obligations represented by an individual invoice, shall constitute a Receivable separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided, that any indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be a Receivable regardless of whether the account debtor or Originator treats such indebtedness, rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation."
		

			
	
			
				 (b)
			The definition of "Related Security" appearing in Exhibit I of the Sale Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (i) thereof and replacing it with the following:




		
			"(i)  all of Originator's interest in the inventory and goods (including returned or repossessed inventory or goods), if any, the sale of which by Originator gave rise to such Receivable (including as a result of related financing arrangements), and all insurance contracts with respect thereto,"
		

			
	
			
				 Section 3.
			Limited Waiver.  With respect to Other Servicer Collected Funds owed by Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc. (“Sirius Other Collections”), the covenant in Section 4.1(m) of the Sale Agreement is hereby waived until the date that is 90 days following the date hereof; provided, that Originator shall cause such Sirius Other Collections to be eliminated from, and prevent such Sirius Other Collections from being deposited, credited or otherwise funded to, any and all Collection Accounts by the end of such 90-day period.




			
	
			
				 Section 4.
