(b) Section 1.4(g) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(g) The Servicer may, and shall at the direction of the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent, deliver a Daily Report to the Administrator on any Business Day that the Administrator is then exercising exclusive dominion and control over the Lock-Box Accounts during a Level II Minimum Liquidity Period. Upon receipt of such Daily Report, the Administrator shall promptly review such Daily Report to determine if such Daily Report constitutes a Qualifying Interim Report. In the event that the Administrator reasonably determines that such Daily Report constitutes a Qualifying Interim Report, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred, the Administrator shall promptly remit to the Servicer from the Lock-Box Accounts (or the LC Collateral Account, if applicable) the lesser of (i) the amount identified on such Qualifying Interim Report as Collections on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts and/or LC Collateral Account in excess of the amount necessary to (x) ensure that the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100% and (y) pay all amounts that will become payable (as estimated by the Administrator) on the next occurring Settlement Date pursuant to Sections 1.4(c) and (d), and (ii) the aggregate amount of available amounts then on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts and the LC Collateral Account.
(c) The last sentence of Section 4.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Seller and the Servicer hereby irrevocably instruct the Administrator on each Business Day during the Level II Minimum Liquidity Period, so long as the Administrator has taken exclusive dominion and control over each of the Lock-Box Accounts and no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists, to transfer to the LC Collateral Account all available amounts on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts as of the end of each Business Day after giving effect to any distributions to the Servicer on such day pursuant to Section 1.4(g). The Administrator agrees that, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists, it shall not direct the application of amounts on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts in any manner other than as set forth in Sections 1.4(c), (d) and (g) or as otherwise directed by the Seller in a manner permitted under this Agreement.
(d) Paragraph (f) of Exhibit V of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(f) (A) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Seller, the Parent, Cloud Peak, the Servicer or any Originator or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any
Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Seller, the Parent, Cloud Peak, the Servicer or any Originator or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered, (B) the Seller, the Parent, Cloud Peak, the Servicer or any Originator shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to consent in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (A) above, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Seller, the Parent, Cloud Peak, the Servicer or any Originator or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing or (C) the Seller, the Parent, Cloud Peak, the Servicer or any Originator shall become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due; provided that no Termination Event shall occur as a result of the Specified Chapter 11 Cases unless the Bankruptcy Court shall not have entered an Interim Order by May 15, 2019 (or such later date agreed to in writing by the Administrator);
(e) Annex I attached hereto is added to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and shall constitute Annex I thereto.
SECTION 2. Matters regarding Specified Chapter 11 Cases.
(i) Purchases and Contributions under Purchase and Sale Agreement. Each Originator party hereto, the Seller, in its capacity as buyer under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and the Servicer, hereby agree that each Originator shall cease to sell or contribute Receivables and Related Rights to the Seller, as buyer, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement on the date of the filing or commencement of the Specified Chapter 11 Cases and shall not resume any such sales or contributions until such date, if any, that the parties hereto agree in writing (which may be effected through an amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and other Transaction Documents) that such sales shall re-commence, each in their sole and absolute discretion. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, including, without limitation: (x) all indemnification obligations of the Originators thereunder, (y) all existing sales of Receivables and Related Rights thereunder by the Originators to the Seller, as buyer, and (z) the security interests granted by the Originators pursuant to Section 1.5 thereof.
(ii) Conditions to Purchases, Issuances of Letters of Credit and Reinvestments.

Each of the Seller and Servicer shall hold any Collections it receives during such period in trust for the Administrator and Secured Parties.
(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, other than as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not be construed as a waiver by any party of any Termination Event (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby) or Unmatured Termination Event, or of any rights or remedies in respect thereof, that may arise from the occurrence of a Specified Chapter 11 Case (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby).
SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Administrator, LC Bank, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers that the execution and delivery by such Person of this Amendment, and the performance of each of its obligations under this Amendment and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby are within each of its organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on its part.
