WHEREAS, the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser are parties to the certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of March 23, 2015 (the “Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement in certain respects as set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.

SECTION 2. Amendments to the Agreement. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Section 2(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) Committed and Uncommitted Purchase and Sales.

(i) Committed Purchase and Sales. Commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Purchase Termination Date, Seller may from time to time make an offer to sell to Purchaser certain Proposed Receivables by submitting to Purchaser a request substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto at least three Business Days prior to any purchase hereunder (a “Purchase Request”), and Purchaser agrees, subject to the requirements for purchase and all of the terms and conditions therefor set forth herein (including the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2(c) hereof), but solely up to the Committed Facility Sublimit, to purchase from Seller the Proposed Receivables identified in such Purchase Request. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2(c) hereof, Purchaser shall and hereby does, but solely up to the Committed Facility Sublimit, purchase from Seller, and Seller shall and hereby does sell to Purchaser, without representation, warranty, covenant or recourse except as expressly provided herein, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in such Proposed Receivables and all Related Rights with respect thereto as of the applicable Purchase Date (all such Proposed Receivables together with such Related Rights, once sold and purchased hereunder (including, without limitation, those

purchased on an uncommitted basis, pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (a), below), being referred to, collectively, as the “Purchased Receivables”). The Seller shall not request and Purchaser shall not be required to fund more than one (1) purchase per week. No single request for purchase hereunder shall be for an amount less than $250,000. All purchase and sales of Proposed Receivables under this Agreement shall be made first pursuant this clause (i), prior to any purchase and sales under clause (ii) below, up to the Committed Facility Sublimit and, thereafter, and for so long as the aggregate of the Outstanding Account Debtor Purchase Amounts for all Account Debtors and all Purchased Receivables at such time, is at least equal to the Committed Facility Sublimit, purchase and sales, may take place on an uncommitted basis pursuant to the terms of clause (ii), below.

(ii) Uncommitted Purchase and Sales. On any date when the aggregate of the Outstanding Account Debtor Purchase Amounts for all Account Debtors and all Purchased Receivables at such time, exceeds the Committed Facility Sublimit, then, Seller may from time to time, thereafter, make an offer to sell to Purchaser certain additional Proposed Receivables by submitting to Purchaser a Purchase Request at least three Business Days prior to any purchase under this clause (ii), and Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may accept such offer and purchase from the Seller the Proposed Receivables identified in such Purchase Request. If the Purchaser accepts such Purchase Request, then subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2(c) hereof, Purchaser shall and hereby does, but solely up to the Uncommitted Facility Sublimit, purchase from Seller, and Seller shall and hereby does sell to Purchaser, without representation, warranty, covenant or recourse except as expressly provided herein, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in such Proposed Receivables and all Related Rights with respect thereto as of the applicable Purchase Date which Proposed Receivables and Related Rights, once sold and purchased hereunder shall become Purchased Receivables hereunder. The Seller shall not request more than one (1) purchase per week. No single request for purchase hereunder shall be for an amount less than $250,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary (and in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2(c) hereof), no purchases shall be made or permitted under this clause (ii), unless on the date of such purchase, after giving effect to such proposed purchase, the aggregate of the Outstanding Account Debtor Purchase Amounts for all Account Debtors and all Purchased Receivables at such time, exceeds the Committed Facility Sublimit. In addition, THE PURCHASES AND SALES DESCRIBED IN THIS CLAUSE (ii) DO NOT CONSTITUTE A COMMITMENT, OBLIGATION OR OTHER UNDERTAKING OF PURCHASER TO PURCHASE ANY RECEIVABLES OFFERED FROM SELLER UNDER THIS CLAUSE (ii) OR OTHERWISE EXTEND CREDIT OR PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION TO SELLER.

(b) Section 2(c)(x) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(x) Following the sale and purchase of the Proposed Receivables set forth in the related Purchase Request (i) the aggregate of the Outstanding Account Debtor Purchase Amounts for all Account Debtors and all Purchased Receivables at such time pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) hereof, shall not exceed the Committed Facility Sublimit, (ii) the aggregate of the Outstanding Account Debtor Purchase Amounts for all Account Debtors and all Purchased Receivables at such time pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) hereof, shall not exceed the Uncommitted Facility Sublimit, and (iii) the Outstanding Aggregate Purchase Amount for all Purchased Receivables (purchased under Sections 2(a)(i) and 2(a)(ii), combined), shall not exceed the Facility Amount.

(e) Commitment Fee.

The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to, on the last business day of each calendar quarter and on the Purchase Termination Date, $5,000.00, plus an amount calculated quarterly in arrears at a rate per annum (calculated on a 360-day basis) determined in accordance with the commitment fee table set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto, on the average unused portion of the Committed Facility Sublimit.

(d) The definition of “Facility Amount” set forth in Exhibit A of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Facility Amount”: Up to USD $300,000,000, USD $100,000,000 of which shall represent the Committed Facility Sublimit and USD $200,000,000 of which shall represent the Uncommitted Facility Sublimit; provided, that in the event of an increase in the Uncommitted Facility Sublimit (as described herein), the Facility Amount shall automatically increase in tandem with the increase in the Uncommitted Facility Sublimit; provided, further, that in no event shall the Facility Amount exceed $380,000,000.

(e) The following definitions of “Committed Facility Sublimit” and “Uncommitted Facility Sublimit” are hereby added to Exhibit A of the Agreement in the appropriate alphabetical order:

“Committed Facility Sublimit”: Up to USD $100,000,000.

“Uncommitted Facility Sublimit”: Up to USD $200,000,000; provided, that in the event of an amendment to Section 5.5(j) of the ABL Facility increasing the maximum amount of indebtedness permitted to be incurred as AB Qualified Receivables Financing (as defined in the ABL Facility), the Uncommitted Facility

Sublimit shall, upon delivery of written notice of such amendment by the Seller to the Purchaser, automatically increase to the maximum amount of indebtedness permitted to be incurred as AB Qualified Receivables Financing under Section 5.5(j) of the ABL Facility less $100,000,000; provided, further, that in no event shall the Uncommitted Facility Sublimit exceed $280,000,000.

(h) The Form of Purchase Request set forth in Exhibit B of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the Form of Purchase Request attached hereto as Exhibit A.

SECTION 3. Condition to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date hereof when (i) each of the parties hereto shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by each of the other parties hereto (including, without limitation, the confirmation of the Parent with respect to each Parent Guarantee) (including facsimile or e-mail signature pages), (ii) the Purchaser has received a secretary certificate of the Seller, Originator and Parent, including incumbency and authorizing resolutions with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Amendment in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, (iii) the Purchaser has received a fully executed copy of the First Amendment to the Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of the date hereof, signed by each party thereto and (iv) the Purchaser has received a legal opinion from outside counsel to the Seller, Originator and Servicer with respect to corporate and enforceability matters in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.
