5. The Seller has requested the Purchasers, and the Purchasers (or to the extent any Purchaser in a Purchaser Group
declines or any Purchaser Group has no Purchasers, each Liquidity Bank in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group party hereto) have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, to continue to
purchase from the Seller from time to time undivided percentage ownership interests, referred to herein as the Asset Interest, in the Pool Receivables and related property.
6. The Seller and the Investors also desire that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, certain of the daily Collections in respect of the Asset Interests be reinvested in Pool Receivables, which reinvestment shall constitute part of the Asset Interests.
7. The parties to this Agreement also desire that, pursuant to the terms hereof, Lennox be appointed, and act, as the initial Master Servicer of the Pool Receivables and related property.

9. The parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Prior RPA in its entirety.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Prior RPA shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Article I.
Purchases and Reinvestments
Section 1.1 Commitments to Purchase; Limits on Purchasers’ Obligations.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article V), from time to time prior to
the Termination Date, the Seller may request that the PurchasersInvestors purchase from the Seller undivided percentage ownership interests in Pool Receivables and Related Assets, and (a) the Purchasers may, in
their sole discretion, make such purchase, or (b) if (x) any Purchaser in a Purchaser Group shall decline to make such Purchase or (y) any Purchaser Group has no Purchasers, one or more Liquidity Banks
party to this Agreement in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall make such purchase (in any such case, each being a “Purchase”); provided that no Purchase shall be made by any Investor if, after
giving effect thereto (and after giving effect to any reductions in the Invested Amount or any Purchaser Group Invested Amount to be made on the date of such Purchase (whether from the distributions of Collections or otherwise)), (i) the
Invested Amount would exceed $160,000,000) (the “Purchase Limit”) in effect at such time, (ii) the Purchaser Group Invested Amount of such Investor’s Purchaser Group would
exceed such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Limit in effect at such time or (iii) the Asset Interest would exceed 100% (the “Allocation Limit”); and provided, further that each Purchase made
pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall have a purchase price equal to at least $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amount available for any Purchase hereunder shall
be calculated based on the most recently delivered Information Package and not based on the most recently delivered Interim Information Package; provided, however that no Purchases shall be permitted hereunder if the calculations in
any Interim Information Package delivered after the most recently delivered Information Package show that (either before or after giving effect to such Purchase) (i) the Invested Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit in effect at such
time, (ii) the Purchaser Group Invested Amount of any Purchaser Group would exceed the Purchaser Group Limit of such Purchaser Group in effect at such time, or (iii) the Asset Interest would exceed the Allocation Limit.
Section 1.2 Purchase Procedures; Assignment of the Investors’ Interests.
(a) Purchase Request. Each Purchase from the Seller by the Purchasers or the Liquidity Banks, as applicable, shall be made on notice from the Seller to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent (on behalf of the Investors in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) received by the Administrative Agent and each such Purchaser Agent not later than 12:00
3
noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the date of such proposed Purchase. Each such notice of a proposed Purchase shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
1.2(a) and shall specify, among other items, the desired amount to be paid to the Seller, the Pro Rata Share thereof of each Purchaser Group and the date of such Purchase. Each Purchaser Agent which has a Purchaser in its Purchaser Group
shall promptly upon receipt notify the Purchaser in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group of any such notice. If (x) any Purchaser in a Purchaser Group has determined not to make the
proposed purchase or (y) any Purchaser Group has no Purchaser, the Purchaser Agent of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall promptly send notice of the proposed purchase to each Liquidity Bank in such Purchaser
Group by telecopier specifying the date of such proposed purchase, and such Liquidity Bank’s Percentage multiplied by the Pro Rata Share with respect to such Purchaser Group of the amount of such Purchase. The Seller shall not request more than
one Purchase in any calendar week.
(b) Funding of Purchase. On the date of each Purchase, the Investors in each Purchaser Group shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V, make available to the Seller (through the Purchaser Agent of such Investors’ Purchaser Group) its applicable Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Purchase in same day funds by wire transfer to the Seller’s Account. Each Liquidity Bank’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Liquidity Bank to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Liquidity Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, but no Liquidity Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Liquidity Bank to make funds available in connection with any purchase.
(c) Assignment of Asset Interests. The Seller hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Investors in each Purchaser Group making each Purchase, effective on and as of the date of such Purchase and each Reinvestment hereunder, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the portion of the Asset Interest then being purchased, in the Pool Receivables and the Related Assets with respect thereto.
Section 1.3 Reinvestments of Certain Collections; Payment of Remaining Collections.
(a) On the close of business on each day during the period from the date of the first Purchase to the Final Payout Date, the Master Servicer will, out of all Collections received on such day:
(i) determine the portion of the Collections attributable to the Asset Interest by multiplying (A) the amount of such Collections times (B) the lesser of (i) the Asset Interest and (ii) 100%;
(ii) out of the portion of such Collections allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i) above, identify and hold in trust for the Purchaser Agents on behalf and for the benefit of their respective Purchaser Groups (provided that unless otherwise requested by any Purchaser Agent, on behalf of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, such Collections shall not be required to be held in a separate account) an amount equal to the sum of the estimated amount of Earned Discount and CP Costs accrued in respect
4
of each Asset Tranche (based on the rate information provided by each Agent pursuant to Section 2.5), all other amounts due to the Investors or the Agents hereunder and the Investors’ Share of the Servicing Fee allocable pursuant to Section 3.1(d) (in each case, accrued through such day) and not so previously identified; and
(iii) apply the Collections allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i) above and not required to be identified and held in trust pursuant to clause (ii) above to the purchase from the Seller of undivided percentage ownership interests in Pool Receivables and the Related Assets with respect to such Pool Receivables (each such purchase being a “Reinvestment”); provided that:
(A) if, after giving effect to such Reinvestment, (i) the Asset Interest would exceed the Allocation Limit, (ii) the Purchaser Group Invested Amount of any Purchaser Group would exceed such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Limit in effect at such time or (iii) the Invested Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit in effect at such time, then the Master Servicer shall not make such Reinvestment, but shall identify and hold in trust for the benefit of the Investors, a portion of such Collections which, together with other Collections previously identified and then so held, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce (x) the Invested Amount to the Purchase Limit in effect at such time, (y) any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Invested Amount to such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Limit in effect at such time and (z) the Asset Interest to the Allocation Limit; and
(B) if any of the conditions precedent to Reinvestment in Section 5.2, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.2, are not satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall not reinvest any of such remaining Collections, but shall identify them and hold them in trust for the benefit of the Investors; and
(C) if the Seller has commenced an optional reduction in the Invested Amount pursuant to Section 3.2(b), then the Master Servicer shall not reinvest any such remaining Collections until the amount not reinvested shall equal the desired reduction amount;
(iv) out of the portion of Collections not allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i) above, pay to the Master Servicer or set aside (at the option of the Master Servicer) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously paid; and
(v) pay to the Seller (A) the remaining portion of Collections not allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i) above and (B) the Collections applied to Reinvestment pursuant to clause (iii) above.
(b) Unreinvested Collections. The Master Servicer shall identify and hold in trust for the benefit of the Investors, all Collections which, pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 1.3(a), may not be reinvested in the Pool Receivables and the Related Assets, provided that unless otherwise requested by any Agent, such Collections need not be held in a segregated account. If, prior to
5
the date when such Collections are required to be paid to any Purchaser Agent pursuant to Section 1.3(c)(iv), the amount of Collections so identified exceeds the amount, if any, necessary to reduce (i) the Invested Amount to the Purchase Limit in effect at such time, (ii) the Purchaser Group Invested Amount of each Purchaser Group to the Purchaser Group Limit of such Purchaser Group in effect at such time and (iii) the Asset Interest to the Allocation Limit, and the conditions precedent to Reinvestment set forth in Section 5.2, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.2, are satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall apply such Collections (or, if less, a portion of such Collections equal to the amount of such excess) to the making of a Reinvestment.
(c) Payment of Amounts.
(i) The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections identified pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(ii) in respect
of Earned Discount on an Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity Funding to the Purchaser Agent of each applicable Purchaser Group, on behalf of each Investor which funded such Liquidity Funding, on (x) other than with respect to the PNC
Purchaser Group, the last day of the then current Yield Period for such Asset Tranche, and (y) with respect to the PNC Purchaser Group, on the Settlement Date following the last day of each Yield Period for such Asset
Tranche, in each case as provided in Section 3.1.
(ii) The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections identified pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(ii) in respect of CP Costs on an Asset Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes, to the Purchaser Agent of each applicable Purchaser Group, on behalf of the applicable Purchaser in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, on the Settlement Date following the last day of each CP Accrual Period for such Asset Tranche, as provided in Section 3.1.
(iii) The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections identified pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(ii) and not applied pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above to each Purchaser Agent, on behalf of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, on each Settlement Date for each Collection Period, as provided in Section 3.1.
(iv) The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections identified pursuant to Section 1.3(b) to each Purchaser Agent (A) on the last day of the then current Yield Period for any Asset Tranche of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group funded by a Liquidity Funding, as provided in Section 3.1(b), in an amount not exceeding such Purchaser Group’s Tranche Investment of such Asset Tranche, and (B) on the last day of the then current CP Accrual Period for any Asset Tranche of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group funded by Commercial Paper Notes, as provided in Section 3.1(b), in an amount not exceeding such Purchaser Group’s Tranche Investment of such Asset Tranche.
(d) Funds Under Sale Agreement. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, at the request of any Purchaser Agent, given at any time when (i) based on the most recent Information Package, or Interim Information Package, as the case may be, either (A) the Asset Interest would exceed the Allocation Limit, (B) any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Invested
6
Amount would exceed such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Limit in effect at such time or, (C) the Invested Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit in effect at such time, or (ii) a Liquidation Event or Unmatured Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller shall identify all funds that under the Sale Agreement would be applied to repay principal of the Initial Seller Notes (as defined in the Sale Agreement) owing to the Originators. The Seller may make withdrawals of such funds only for the purposes of (x) at any time, purchasing Receivables from an Originator in accordance with the Sale Agreement; (y) on the Settlement Date for any Collection Period, making payments in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.1(c)(ii), and (z) on the Settlement Date for any Collection Period, if, on the basis of the most recent Information Package or Interim Information Package, as the case may be, and after giving effect to any payment made to the Master Servicer on such date pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.1(c)(ii), (I) the Invested Amount does not exceed the Purchase Limit in effect at such time, (II) no Purchaser Group Invested Amount exceeds the related Purchaser Group Limit in effect at such time and (III) the Asset Interest does not exceed the Allocation Limit, and provided that no Liquidation Event or Unmatured Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, repaying principal of the Initial Seller Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Sale Agreement.

NPB = the Net Pool Balance on the date of such computation;
provided, however, that the Asset Interest during the Liquidation Period shall equal 100%.
7
(c) Frequency of Computation. The Asset Interest shall be computed (i) as provided in Section 3.1, as of the Cut-Off Date for each Collection Period, and (ii) on the Settlement Date following each Reporting Date, after giving effect to the payments made pursuant to Section 3.1. In addition, at any time, the Administrative Agent, at the request of any Purchaser Agent, may require the Master Servicer to provide an interim report (an “Interim Information Package”), based on the information then available to the Master Servicer, for purposes of computing the Asset Interest, any Purchaser Group Invested Amount or the Invested Amount as of any other date, and the Master Servicer agrees to do so within five (5) (or three (3), if a Liquidation Event, Unmatured Liquidation Event or a Credit Event has occurred and is continuing) Business Days of its receipt of the Administrative Agent’s request (such date, the “Interim Reporting Date”).
Article II.
Computational Rules
Section 2.1 Selection, Dividing or Combining of Asset Tranches.
Each Purchaser Agent shall, from time to time for purposes of computing Earned Discount on that portion of the Asset Interest funded with Liquidity Fundings made by such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, divide any Asset Interest into Asset Tranches or combine two or more Asset Tranches into one Asset Tranche.

The Purchaser Group Invested Amount of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group shall be allocated to each Asset Tranche by such Purchaser Agent, on behalf of the Investors in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, to reflect the funding sources for the Asset Interest, so that:
(a) there will be a single Asset Tranche equal to the excess of the applicable Purchaser Group Invested Amount over the aggregate amount allocated at such time pursuant to clause (b) below, which Asset Tranche shall reflect the portion of the Asset Interest funded by Commercial Paper Notes of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group, if any; and
(b) there may be one or more Asset Tranches, selected by such Purchaser Agent, on behalf of the Liquidity Banks in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, reflecting the portion or portions of the Asset Interest funded by outstanding Liquidity Fundings of such Purchaser Group.
Section 2.2 Computation of Invested Amount and Purchaser Group’s Tranche Investment.
In making any determination of the Invested Amount, any Purchaser Group Invested Amount and any Purchaser Group’s Tranche Investment, the following rules shall apply:
(a) the Invested Amount and each Purchaser Group Invested Amount, as the case may be, shall not be considered reduced by any allocation, setting aside or distribution of any portion of Collections unless such Collections shall have been actually delivered hereunder to the appropriate Purchaser Agent, on behalf of the Investors in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group;
8
Agent’s Purchaser Group, shall notify (x) the Master Servicer (and, if Lennox is not the Master Servicer, the Seller) and the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Purchaser Group’s Tranche Investment of each Asset Tranche and the Earned Discount Rate applicable to each Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity Funding of such Purchaser Group and (y) the Master Servicer (and, if Lennox is not the Master Servicer, the Seller) and, solely to the extent requested by it in its reasonable discretion, the Administrative Agent, the CP Costs applicable to each Asset Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes of such Purchaser Group and the rates at which fees and other amounts are accruing hereunder. It is understood and agreed that (a) the CP Costs for any Asset Tranche funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes for any Purchaser Group are determined in arrears and may change from one applicable CP Accrual Period to the next, (b) the Earned Discount Rate for any Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity Funding of any Purchaser Group may change from one applicable Yield Period to the next, and the Bank Rate and the PNC LIBO Rate used to calculate the Earned Discount Rate may change from time to time during an applicable Yield Period, (c) certain rate information provided by any Purchaser Agent to the Master Servicer and the Administrative Agent shall be based upon such Purchaser Agent’s good faith estimate, (d) the amount of Earned Discount actually accrued with respect to an Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity Funding of any Purchaser Group during any Yield Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount identified with respect thereto by Master Servicer, and (e) the amount of fees or other amounts payable by the Seller hereunder which have accrued hereunder with respect to any Collection Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount identified with respect thereto by the Master Servicer. Failure to identify any amount so accrued shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to remit Collections to each Purchaser Agent, on behalf of the Investors in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, with respect to such accrued amount, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1.
