B. The parties hereto have agreed to amend the Receivables Loan Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, and other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree
as follows:
SECTION 1. Amendments to Receivables Loan Agreement. Effective as of the Effective
Date (as defined below), the Receivables Loan Agreement is amended as follows:
1.1 The definition of “Concentration Factor” in Section 1.01 of the Receivables Loan Agreement
is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“Concentration Factor” means, as of any date of determination, (x) with respect
to any Obligor that is a Special Obligor, the Special Concentration Factor for such Special
Obligor and (y) with respect to any other Obligor, a percentage equal to the following:
(a) if such Obligor has (i) a short-term debt rating of at least A-2 by
S&P or, if no short-term debt rating from S&P is available, a Debt Rating of at
least BBB+ by S&P and (ii) a short-term debt rating of at least P-2 by Moody’s
or, if no short-term debt rating from Xxxxx’x is available, a Debt Rating of at
least Baa1 by Moody’s, 23.5%;
(b) if such Obligor is not qualified under clause (a) above, but such Obligor
has (i) a short-term debt rating of at least A-3 by S&P or, if no short-term debt
rating from S&P is available, a Debt Rating of at least BBB- by S&P and (ii) a
short-term debt rating of at least P-3 by Moody’s or, if no short-term debt rating
from Xxxxx’x is available, a Debt Rating of at least Baa3 by Moody’s, 11.75%; and
(c) in all other cases, 5.87%;
; provided that in the event the ratings of any Obligor from S&P and Moody’s fall
within different ratings levels, then the Concentration Factor for such Obligor shall be
determined based upon the lower of the two ratings.
1.2 The definition of “Lender Group Percentage” is amended to delete the phrase “(expressed
out to five decimal places)” and to substitute therefor the phrase “(expressed out to two decimal
places)”.
1.3 The definition of “Loss and Dilution Reserve Ratio” is amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:
“Loss and Dilution Reserve Ratio” means, on any day, the greater of (i) the
Loss and Dilution Reserve Floor and (ii) the sum of the Loss Reserve Ratio and the Dilution
Reserve Ratio.
1.4 Section 1.01 of the Receivables Loan Agreement is further amended to add the following new
definition in appropriate alphabetical order:
“Loss and Dilution Reserve Floor” means 23.5%.
1.5 Section 1.01 of the Receivables Loan Agreement is further amended to delete the
definitions of “Accountants’ Letter”, “Dilution Reserve Floor” and “Loss Reserve Floor”.
1.6 The third sentence of Section 2.01(a) of the Receivables Loan Agreement is amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Each borrowing of Loans hereunder (each a “Borrowing”) shall be in a minimum
principal amount equal to such amount as will ensure that no Lender Group’s Lender Group
Percentage of such Borrowing would be less than $1,000,000.”
1.7 Section 5.02(a) is amended to delete the term “Accountants’ Letter” and to substitute
therefor the words “Annual Report (as defined in Section 5.02(b))”.
2
1.8 Section 5.02(b) of the Receivables Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:
“(b) On or before March 31 of each year, the Collection Agent shall cause a firm of
consultants or nationally recognized independent public accountants selected by the
Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Collection Agent (who may also render
other services to the Collection Agent or its Affiliates) to furnish a report (addressed to
the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent) to the Administrative Agent and each
Funding Agent (each such report, an “Annual Report”) in a form and with a scope
specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Collection Agent, to
the effect that they have performed certain procedures as reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents and examined certain documents and records
relating to the Receivables and the servicing thereof and have compared the information
contained in certain of the Monthly Reports delivered pursuant to this Agreement for the
preceding twelve (12) calendar month period with such documents and records and that, on the
basis of such procedures, have noted no instances where the amounts set forth in such
Monthly Reports are not in agreement with the Collection Agent’s documents and records,
except for such exceptions as shall be set forth in such report, and addressing such other
matters as the Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent may reasonably request;
provided that, solely with respect to the Annual Report due on or before March 31,
2007, the parties agree that such Annual Report may be prepared by Ernst & Young LLP
utilizing procedures substantially consistent with those outlined in Exhibit E. The cost of
any such Annual Report shall be paid by the Collection Agent out of its own funds.
SECTION 2. Amendment to Servicing Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date,
Section 2.2(b) of the Servicing Agreement is amended to delete the term “Accountants’ Letter” and
to substitute therefor the words “Annual Report (as defined in Section 5.02(b) of the Receivables
Loan Agreement)”.
SECTION 3. Removal of Deutsche Bank Lender Group. On the Effective Date, the
Borrower shall repay in full all Loans held by the members of the Lender Group for which Deutsche
Bank AG, New York Branch acts as Funding Agent (the “DB Lender Group”), together with all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon and all other fees, expenses and other Borrower Obligations owing to
the DB Lender Group. Each of the other parties hereto hereby consents to such payment. Upon the
making of such payment, the members of the DB Lender Group will cease to be parties to the
Transaction Documents and shall have no further rights or obligations thereunder, other than those
which by their terms survive the termination of the Transaction Documents. Accordingly, effective
as of the Effective Date, the Lender Group Limit for the DB Lender Group will be reduced to zero
and Schedule I to the Receivables Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to delete the
members of the DB Lender Group therefrom. The Lender Group Limits of the other Lender Groups will
remain unchanged.
SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date
(the “Effective Date”) on which the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of this
Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent and each of
the Lenders.

of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Receivables Loan Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, as amended hereby, and each reference to the Receivables Loan Agreement
or the Servicing Agreement in any other Transaction Document shall mean and be a reference to the
Receivables Loan Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, as amended hereby.
5.2 Except as specifically amended hereby, the Receivables Loan Agreement, the Servicing
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents, instruments and agreements
executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are
hereby ratified and confirmed.

of any right, power or remedy of any Lender, any Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent under
the Receivables Loan Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other
document, instrument, or agreement executed in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision contained therein.

of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment
by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
