BACKGROUND
A. The parties hereto have entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement along with the Persons from time to time parties thereto, dated as of May 17, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”).

C. The parties hereto desire to amend the Receivables Financing Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, with the intention of being legally bound hereby, and in consideration of the mutual undertakings expressed herein, each party to this Amendment hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Amendments to the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Receivables Financing Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The following definitions set forth in Section 1.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement are hereby replaced in their entirety with the following:
“Commitment” means, with respect to any Lender, LC Participant or LC Bank, as applicable, the maximum aggregate amount which such Person is obligated to lend or pay hereunder on account of all Loans and all drawings under all Letters of Credit, on a combined basis, as set forth on Schedule I or in such other agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender and/or LC Participant, as such amount may be modified in connection with any subsequent assignment pursuant to Section 13.03 or in connection with a reduction in the Facility Limit pursuant to Section 2.02(e) or increased pursuant to Section 2.02(g). If the context so requires, “Commitment” also refers to a Lender’s obligation to make Loans, make Participation Advances and/or issue Letters of Credit hereunder in accordance with this Agreement.
1
“Facility Limit” means $125,000,000 as reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.02(e) or increased pursuant to Section 2.02(g); provided, however, that at no time shall any such increase cause the Facility Limit to exceed $200,000,000. References to the unused portion of the Facility Limit shall mean, at any time of determination, an amount equal to (x) the Facility Limit at such time, minus (y) the sum of the Aggregate Capital plus the Aggregate LC Participation Amount.
“Scheduled Termination Date” means June 30, 2020.
(b) Section 2.02 of the Receivables Financing Agreement is hereby amended by adding new clause (g) thereto as follows:
(g) Increases in Commitments. Provided that no Event of Default, Purchase and Sale Termination Event, Unmatured Event of Default or Unmatured Purchase and Sale Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each LC Participant, the Borrower may request on a one-time basis that each of the Lenders and each of the LC Participants ratably increase their respective Commitments, in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Facility Limit shall not exceed $200,000,000. At the time of sending such notice with respect to the Lenders and the LC Participants, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of such increase (such amount, the “Requested Facility Limit Increase”) and (ii) the time period within which the Lenders and the LC Participants are requested to respond to the Borrower’s request (which shall in no event be less than fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Participants, unless such shorter period is agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender(s)). Each of the Lenders and each of the LC Participants shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer within the applicable time period (which shall not be less than fifteen (15) days or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender(s)) whether or not such Lender or such LC Participant agrees, in its sole discretion, to make such ratable increase to such Lender’s or such LC Participant’s Commitment or otherwise agrees to any lesser increase in its Commitment. Any Lender or any LC Participant not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Lender’s or such LC Participant’s Commitment. If the Commitment of any Lender or any LC Participant is increased in accordance with this clause (g), the Administrative Agent, the Lender, the LC Participant, the Borrower and the Servicer shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase and, if applicable, rebalance Capital among the Lenders such that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Lenders is distributed ratably among the Lenders; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Participant increasing its Commitment pursuant to this clause (g) may request any of (x) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Commitment increase and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment to this Agreement, (y) a corporate and enforceability opinion of counsel of the Borrower and (z) such other documents, agreements and opinions reasonably requested by such Lender, such LC Participant or the Administrative Agent.
2
(c) Schedule I to the Receivables Financing Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with Schedule I attached hereto.
