(a) Section 4.01(e) of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
{B1568014; 11}
23907853v01
(e) Accurate and Complete Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished or to be furnished at any time (not including financial statements) by the Borrower or any other Xxxxxxxx Party to any Lender or Agent in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including each Monthly Report, is and will be accurate in all material respects as of the date so furnished, and no such information contains, or will contain, as of the date so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state, or will omit to state, as of the date so furnished, a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The representations and warranties of each Xxxxxxxx Party (other than the Borrower) contained herein or in the other Principal Transaction Documents to which such Xxxxxxxx Party is a party are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent such representation or warranty expressly relates only to a prior date, in which case such representation or warranty was true and correct in all material respects as of such prior date. Each Monthly Report shall reflect any amendments to the form thereof that are agreed pursuant to the last sentence of the second paragraph of Section 5.01(f) below at least 15 Business Days prior to the due date for such Monthly Report. Any amendments so agreed less than 15 Business Days prior to such due date shall be reflected in an amended and restated Monthly Report delivered within 15 Business Days of the original due date for such Monthly Report.
(b) Section 5.01(f) of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(f) Due Diligence. From time to time during regular business hours as requested by the Administrative Agent or any Facility Agent upon thirty days’ prior notice, the Borrower shall permit the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent, or their respective agents or representatives, (A) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all Records in the possession or under the control of the Borrower or the agents of the Borrower (including the Subservicers, the Master Servicer and the Lux Manager) or their respective Affiliates relating to Receivables and the Related Security, and (B) to visit the offices and properties of the Borrower or the agents of the Borrower or their respective Affiliates for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (A) above, and to discuss matters relating to Receivables and the Related Security or the Borrower’s performance hereunder with any of the officers or employees of the Borrower having knowledge of such matters or with the Borrower’s independent public accountants (collectively, a “Due Diligence Audit”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent or any Facility Agent shall be permitted to take the actions described in the preceding sentences of this Section without being subject to the requirement of providing prior notice.
Each Due Diligence Audit shall be conducted in accordance with agreed upon procedures prepared by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that are reasonably satisfactory to each Facility Agent, and the results thereof shall be reported to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of each Facility Agent) in a Draft Agreed Upon Procedures Report. In connection with each such Due Diligence Audit, the Borrower shall permit the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent or their respective agents or representatives (which may also render other services to any Xxxxxxxx Party or any of their Affiliates) to review periodic Monthly Reports to verify amounts reported to underlying accounting records. Such review may include analysis procedures and verification of sales, dilution,

collections, write-offs, concentrations, and other information included on the Monthly Reports. Testing may include a review of sample Receivables. Additional testing procedures may be performed to verify the accuracy of information on selected Monthly Reports. The Borrower agrees to cooperate and provide all requested information necessary to perform such due diligence reviews or collateral inspections. Additionally, the Borrower shall permit such testing as may be required to ensure that it has adhered to all terms and conditions required under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. If the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Facility Agents) reasonably determines that the results of any such Due Diligence Audit as set forth in a Draft Agreed Upon Procedures Report provided in connection therewith are not complete or are not reasonably satisfactory in any material respect, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Facility Agents) may reasonably specify additional procedures to be performed in order to address such condition, and the Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within 30 days of such request by the Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such additional specified procedures to be performed and updated drafts of the Draft Agreed Upon Procedures Report to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of each Facility Agent). A Final Agreed Upon Procedures Report shall be issued following agreement by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Facility Agents) on the results and conclusions of the related Due Diligence Audit, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents shall negotiate in good faith to so agree such that a Final Agreed Upon Procedure Report may be issued within 60 days of the issuance of the related initial Draft Agreed Upon Procedures Report. At the request of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Facility Agents), the Borrower and the Master Servicer shall promptly prepare changes to the form of Monthly Report to reflect the findings in such Final Agreed Upon Procedure Report which are reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Facility Agents and, upon agreement upon such changes by the Borrower, the Master Servicer and the Majority Facility Agents (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by any such party), such changes shall be made (and the form of Monthly Report shall be deemed amended), effective 10 Business Days after such agreement.
A Due Diligence Audit shall be conducted on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents by Protiviti Inc. and shall commence within 60 days following the effectiveness of the First Amendment (the “First Amendment Due Diligence Audit”). In connection with the First Amendment Due Diligence Audit, any directions or requests that, as provided in the preceding paragraph, may be given or made by the Majority Facility Agents, may be given or made by any Facility Agent, and the satisfaction and agreement of the Majority Facility Agents described in the last sentence of such paragraph shall require the satisfaction or agreement, as applicable, of each Facility Agent.
The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents for all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses incurred by any of them in connection with the foregoing actions promptly upon receipt of a written invoice therefor; provided that, so long as no Potential Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Facility Agent for fees, costs and expenses in connection with more than one Due Diligence Audit in any calendar year (unless the results of a Due Diligence Audit were incomplete or not reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Facility Agents), in which case the
- 3 -

Borrower shall be responsible for reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses in connection with one or more additional Due Diligence Audits in such calendar year until completion of a Due Diligence Audit that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Majority Facility Agents).
