Amendments to Certain Defined Terms. The following definitions are amended as follows:

““Dilution Reserve Percentage” shall mean, on any day, a percentage equal to the greater of (i) 15.0% (the “Dilution Reserve Floor”) and (ii) the amount expressed as a percentage and calculated in accordance with the following formula:
{(SF x ED) + ((DS – ED) x (DS/ED))} x DHR
Where:
SF | = 2.25; |
ED | = the average of the Dilution Ratios for the twelve most recently ended Calculation Periods; |
DS | = the highest three month average Dilution Ratio during the twelve most recently ended Calculation Periods; and |
DHR | = the Dilution Horizon Ratio at such time.” |
(ii) “Eligible Receivable”. Clause (c)(B)(iii) of the definition of “Eligible Receivable” is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“(iii) is not a Government Obligor, except that up to 2.5% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all non-Defaulted Receivables may consist of Receivables owing by Government Obligors;”
(iii) LC Bank Sublimit”. The definition of LC Bank Sublimit is hereby amended by adding “or as otherwise agreed in writing between such LC Bank and the Seller, with notice to the Administrative Agent” after “on Schedule I to this Agreement”.
(iv) “LC Sub-Facility”. The definition of LC Sub-Facility is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
““LC Sub-Facility” shall mean $696,000,000, unless such amount shall be increased as provided in Section 2.15(c).
(v) “Maximum Net Investment”. The definition of Maximum Net Investment is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
““Maximum Net Investment” shall mean $696,000,000, unless such amount shall be (a) reduced pursuant to the next sentence or as provided in Section 2.15(a) or following the termination of a Purchase Group pursuant to Section 11.08 hereof or (b) increased as provided in Section 2.15(c). On a Non‑Extension Date for any Non-Extending Purchase Group, unless such Non-Extending Purchase Group’s Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment has been assigned pursuant to Section 11.02, the Maximum Net Investment shall be reduced by that Non-Extending Purchase Group’s Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment.”
(vi) “Set-Off Group”. The definition of “Set-off Group” is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
““Set-Off Group” shall mean (a) when the Parent’s senior unsecured debt rating is above BBB- from S&P and above Baa3 from Xxxxx’x, each entity and each Subsidiary, direct or indirect, of such entity, if any, which has one of the ten largest aggregate Eligible Receivables balances at such time, (b) when the Parent’s senior unsecured debt rating is BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Xxxxx’x, (i) each entity listed on Schedule IV hereto, as that Schedule may be modified from time to time by the Administrative Agent (with at least 45 days’ notice to the Seller), and each Subsidiary, direct or indirect, of such entity, if any, and (ii) each entity and each Subsidiary, direct or indirect, of such entity, if any, which has one of the ten largest aggregate Eligible Receivables balances at such time, and (c) otherwise, each entity and each Subsidiary, direct or indirect, of such entity, if any, which has an Eligible Receivables balance at such time.”
1.2 Amendment to Section 2.15 (Optional Reduction of Maximum Net Investment; Optional Reduction of Aggregate Net Investment). Section 2.15 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended by (a) replacing the heading thereof in its entirety to read “Optional Reduction of Maximum Net Investment; Optional Reduction of Aggregate Net Investment; Increase in Maximum Net Investment.” and (b) adding the following subsection (c):
2
“(c) The Seller shall have the right at any time and from time to time, to cause an increase in the Maximum Net Investment (together with the right to cause a simultaneous increase in the LC Sub-Facility to an amount not to exceed the Maximum Net Investment so increased), upon written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to each such increase and satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Seller shall offer each Purchase Group the right to increase its Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment by its ratable share of the increase in the Maximum Net Investment; (ii) if any Purchase Group elects not to increase its Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment pursuant to clause (i) above, the Seller shall offer such Purchase Group’s portion to the other Purchase Groups, or another Purchaser acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the XX Xxxxx; (iii) each new Purchase Group, if any, shall execute a joinder agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; (iv) no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing; and (v) the Maximum Net Investment shall not exceed $1,500,000,000 immediately after giving effect to any such increase. For the avoidance of doubt, an increase in the LC Sub-Facility is not required to be offered to each Purchase Group or to be shared ratably among the Purchase Groups. Schedule I to this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended in connection with any such increase to add each new Purchase Group, to reflect the Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment of each Purchase Group with a new or increasing Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment, to reflect any adjustment to the LC Bank Sublimit of each Purchase Group, and to reflect the adjusted Purchase Group Percentage for each Purchase Group. The Seller shall repay or cause to be repaid through the applicable joinder agreement any Net Investment outstanding on the effective date of any such increase (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.07) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Net Investment of the Purchasers in each Purchase Group equal to such Purchase Group’s ratable share (after giving effect to the increase in any Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment pursuant to this Section 2.15(c)).”
II. MODIFICATION TO FEE LETTER
Section 3 of the Fee Letter is hereby modified by inserting “(100% in the case of a Purchase Group that does not include a Conduit Purchaser)” after “102%”.
III. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each of the Seller, Xxxxxxxx 66 Co. and the Parent hereby represents and warrants that:
