SECTION 1. Amendment to Original Agreement. The Original Agreement is hereby amended, effective as of the Effective Date, to incorporate the changes set forth below:

Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

In addition, the Transferor shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee as set forth in the Supplemental Fee Letter. The Transferor acknowledges that the foregoing fees are non-refundable.”
(i) The following is added as a new Section 8.2(d):
“(d) Upon the receipt by the Transferor of a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 8.2(c) by any Class Investor, if payment thereof shall not be waived by such Class Investor, the Transferor may, at any
time, request one or more of the other Class Investors in such first Class Investor’s Class, with the consent of the related Class Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to acquire and assume all or a part of such first Class Investor’s rights and obligations (if any) hereunder (a “Replacement Person”) and if no such other related Class Investor shall become the Replacement Person, the Transferor shall request such claiming Class Investor (or, in the case of a Class Conduit, its related Class Agent) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Transferor in its attempt to obtain a replacement bank, financial institution or commercial paper conduit, as applicable, satisfactory to the Transferor and consented to by the Class Agent for the applicable Class (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), to become the Replacement Person. In addition, upon the receipt by the Transferor of a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 8.2(c) by an Indemnified Party other than a Class Investor or a Class Agent, if payment thereof shall not be waived by such Indemnified Party, the Transferor may, at any time, request the Class Agent for such Indemnified Party to obtain a replacement bank or financial institution for such Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party has not been replaced within a reasonable period, such Indemnified Party shall be subject to replacement upon request of the Transferor as provided in the preceding sentence. Upon notice from the Transferor, a Class Investor being replaced hereunder shall assign, without recourse, its rights and obligations (if any) hereunder, or a ratable share thereof, to the Replacement Person or Replacement Persons designated and consented to as provided in this Section 8.2(d) for a purchase price equal to the portion of the Aggregate Unpaids so assigned (including fees and any amounts owing under this Section 8.2) to which such Class Investor is entitled hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Class Investor which is a Class Agent may be replaced pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) unless (A) it has consented to such replacement or (B) a successor for such Class Agent has been duly appointed in accordance with this Agreement and such Class Agent shall have received payment of all amounts to which it is entitled hereunder; and (ii) the Transferor need not make any request under this clause (d) if the replacement of any claiming Class Investor or Indemnified Party would be more economically or administratively burdensome on the Transferor than not replacing such Class Investor or Indemnified Party or if such replacement would be unlawful.”
SECTION 2. Affirmations. All parties hereto agree and acknowledge that with respect to each Bank Investor party hereto, each Bank Investor has a Commitment and such Commitment of such Bank Investor shall be the dollar amount set forth opposite such Bank Investor’s signature on the signature page hereto, which may be different from the Original Agreement.

SECTION 7. Severability; Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate 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 instrument. Any
provisions of this Amendment which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
