WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS GECRB, PLT Holding, RFS Inc. and Buyer are parties to the Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2003, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment No. 1 to Securitization Documents, dated as of February 9, 2004, the RSA Assumption Agreement and Second Amendment to Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2005, the Third Amendment to Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2006, the Fourth Amendment to Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2008, the Designation of Removed Accounts and Fifth Amendment to Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2008, and the Designation of Removed Accounts and Sixth Amendment to Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2009, the Seventh Amendment to Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2010, and the Eighth Amendment to Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2012 (as amended, the “Receivables Sale Agreement”); and
WHEREAS Buyer, GECRB, PLT Holding and RFS Inc. desire to amend the Receivables Sale Agreement as set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, GECRB, PLT Holding, RFS Inc. and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All terms defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement and used herein shall have such defined meanings when used herein, unless otherwise defined herein.
2. Amendments to Receivables Sale Agreement. (a) Section 1.1 of the Receivables Sale Agreement is amended by deleting the definition of “Average Recovery Price Ratio” in its entirety where it appears therein and replacing it with the following:
“Average Recovery Price Ratio” means, as of any date of determination during a Monthly Period, for any Retailer, the average for the most recent six fiscal months ending prior to the first day of such Monthly Period of the percentage equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount of recoveries on related receivables for the applicable fiscal month and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of charged-off receivables for such fiscal month, in each case for all serviced receivables in that Retailer’s program. For purposes of the foregoing, “recoveries” and “charged-off receivables” shall have the same meaning as “Recoveries” and “Charged-Off Receivables,” respectively, but as applied to all serviced receivables in a particular Retailer’s program, rather than only Transferred Receivables. Seller and Buyer may from time to time modify the formula to calculate “Average Recovery Price Ratio” in order to more closely approximate the actual Recoveries on Transferred Receivables.
Ninth Amendment to Receivable
Sale Agreement
(b) Section 2.1(c) of the Receivables Sale Agreement is amended by deleting the phrase “For as long as GE Capital acts as Servicer and Seller continues to act as a Sub-Servicer,” where it appears therein.
3. Representations and Warranties of Sellers. Each of GECRB, RFS Inc. and PLT Holding hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof:
(a) Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. This Amendment constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity); and
(b) No Material Adverse Effect. This Amendment does not materially adversely affect the interests of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s creditors.
4. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first written above; provided that Buyer, PLT Holding, RFS Inc. and GECRB shall have executed a counterpart of this Amendment.
5. Binding Effect; Ratification.
