The parties hereto agree that, effective as of the date hereof, the definition of “Conduit Lender” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:
“”Conduit Lender” means each of CAFCO, LLC, CRC Funding, LLC, XXXXXX, LLC, and CHARTA, LLC, together with their permitted successors and assigns that constitute special purpose entities that issue commercial paper notes or other debt securities.”
For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties hereto that CAFCO, LLC, XXXXXX, LLC, and CRC Funding, LLC each be added as a party to the Program Documents as a “Conduit Lender” for all purposes under or in connection with the Program Documents, and references in any Program Document to the language “the Conduit Lender” shall be deemed to refer to “the Conduit Lenders”, “a Conduit Lender”, “each Conduit Lender” or “any Conduit Lender”, as the context may require.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Agent a fee (the “Up-Front Fee”) in an amount equal to $322,500. The Up-Front Fee shall be payable on or prior to the date hereof. The Borrower shall pay such fee to the Agent by deposit of the appropriate amount into the Agent’s Account or such other account as the Agent shall designate. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Borrower to pay the Up-Front Fee in accordance with this paragraph shall constitute an Event of Default for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Program Documents, and the Agent may rely upon all rights and remedies in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent, the Conduit Lenders and the Secondary Lender that immediately after giving effect to this Agreement of Amendment No.8, its representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
All references in any Program Document to the Credit Agreement on and after the date hereof shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the parties hereto agree that on and after the date hereof, the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, is in full force and effect.
This Agreement of Amendment No. 8 may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
