RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement dated as of September 19, 2008 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2009, and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to make certain changes to the Credit Agreement as herein provided;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein and in the Credit Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 2. Amendments.

     2.1. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “Section 1.1. The Facility. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) may from time to time during the Revolving Period request Advances by delivering a Borrowing Request to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.1. Upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Request from the Borrower or Servicer, the Agent shall advise XX XXXX and the Liquidity Banks thereof, and in the event that XX XXXX elects not to make any such Loan to the Borrower, each of the Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of such Loan to the Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of XX XXXX’x and the Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Liquidity Banks’ Commitments, and (ii) the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “Allocation Limit”). Each Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $500,000. In no event may the aggregate principal amount of the Advances hereunder exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitment, or (y)

the Borrowing Base. All Liquidity Banks’ Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. Each of the Loans, and all other Obligations of the Borrower, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article IX.”

     2.2. Section 1.2(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “(c) At all times prior to the Conduit Investment Termination Date, it is the intent of XX XXXX to fund each requested Advance through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, but the parties acknowledge that if XX XXXX is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper Notes to fund all or any portion of the Loans, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper Notes upon the maturity thereof, XX XXXX may put all or any portion of its Loans to the Liquidity Banks at any time pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its Loans through a Liquidity Funding to the extent available. The Liquidity Fundings shall be Eurodollar Loans, unless otherwise provided in Article II. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes an assignment of a Loan or the sale of one or more participations therein, each Liquidity Bank participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the rights of a “Lender” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly made a Loan to the Borrower in the amount of its Liquidity Funding. On and after the Conduit Investment Termination Date, all Loans hereunder will be funded by the Liquidity Banks.”

     2.3. Section 1.3(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as provided in accordance with Article II of this Agreement to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the applicable Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for such Interest Period plus (ii) the Bank Rate Spread.”

     2.4. Section 1.4(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “(b) [Reserved.]”

     2.5. Section 1.4(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “(d) The Borrower promises to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan (other than a CP Rate Loan) on its applicable Interest Payment Date. The principal on each Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on and after the Termination Date as and when Collections are received.”

     2.6. Section 1.8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “Extension of the Scheduled Termination Date. Provided that no Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may request an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date by submitting a request for an extension (each, an “Extension Request”) to the Agent. If Bank of

2

America, as Lender, does not agree to an Extension Request, the Scheduled Termination Date shall remain unchanged.

     2.7. Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “Section 2.2. Eurodollar Loans. From and after the Conduit Investment Termination Date or if the Borrower has otherwise been informed by the Agent that CP Rate Loans are not available, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all Loans will be Eurodollar Loans, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.2. The Borrower shall have no right to select Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans.

     If the Agent or any Liquidity Bank determines (i) that maintenance of any Eurodollar Loan would violate any applicable law or regulation, (ii) that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund any of such Liquidity Bank’s Eurodollar Loans are not available or (iii) that the maintenance of any Eurodollar Loans will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of such Liquidity Bank of funding Eurodollar Loans, then the Agent, upon the direction of such Liquidity Bank, shall suspend the availability of future Eurodollar Loans until such time as the Agent or applicable Liquidity Bank provides notice that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and, if required by any applicable law or regulation, terminate any outstanding Eurodollar Loan so affected. All Loans allocated to any such terminated Eurodollar Loan shall be reallocated to an Alternate Base Rate Loan.”

     2.8. Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete subsections (f), (g), and (h) and add the following provisions at the end thereof:

     “With respect to any claim for compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2, the parties hereto hereby further agree that:

     (a) Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge (including any future event that, in the judgment of such Affected Party, is reasonably certain to occur) which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided, however, no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation;

     (b) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods (consistent with its ordinary business practices) that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to the Borrower the above-referenced certificate as to such actual increased cost or actual reduced return (including calculation thereof in reasonable detail), which statement shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower; and

     (c) Each of the Lenders agrees, and will require each Affected Party to agree that, with reasonable promptness after an officer of such Lender or such Affected Party responsible for administering the Transaction Documents becomes

3

aware that it has become an Affected Party under this Section 4.2, is entitled to receive payments under this Section 4.2, or is or has become subject to U.S. withholding taxes payable by any Loan Party in respect of its investment hereunder, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of such Person or any applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain its commitment or investment hereunder through another branch or office of such Affected Party, or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would cause such Person to be an Affected Party under this Section 4.2 would cease to exist, or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Person pursuant to this Section 4.2 would be reduced, or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or maintaining of such commitment or investment through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such commitment or investment or the interests of such Person; provided that, such Person will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 4.2 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Person as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board which becomes applicable to the Liquidity Banks shall constitute a Regulatory Change subject to this Section 4.2.”

     2.9. Section 6.1(n) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “(n) Lock-Boxes and Lock-Box Accounts. The names and addresses of all the Lock-Box Banks, together with the addresses for the Lock-Boxes and account numbers of the related accounts of the Borrower at such Lock-Box Banks, are specified in Schedule 6.1(n) (or have been notified to and approved by the Agent in accordance with Section 7.3(d)).

     2.13. Section 7.4(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     “(b) Not less than one member of the Borrower’s board of managers (the “Independent Manager”) shall be an individual who is not, and never has been, a direct, indirect or beneficial stockholder (other than through a mutual fund the investment decisions of which are not controlled by such person), officer, director, employee, affiliate, associate, material supplier or material customer of Performance Guarantor or any of its Affiliates (other than an Affiliate organized with a limited purpose charter for the purpose of acquiring receivables or other financial assets or intangible property).
