     (d) Section 10.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     Section 10.2 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If any Regulatory Change, except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Purchaser or Affected Entity or taxes excluded by Section 10.1, (i) subjects any Purchaser or any Affected Entity to any charge or withholding on or with respect to this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement or a Purchaser’s or Affected Entity’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Purchaser or any Affected Entity of any amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of an Affected Entity or a Purchaser, or credit extended by an Affected Entity or a Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to an Affected Entity or a Purchaser of performing its obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Entity’s or Purchaser’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Entity or a Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it then, on the forty-fifth (45th) day after demand by the related Co-Agent, Seller shall pay (without duplication of any amounts payable as described in Section 10.4 below) to such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity or Purchaser, such amounts charged to such Affected Entity or Purchaser or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Entity or such Purchaser for such increased cost or such reduction. To the extent that any Funding Agreement described in this Section covers facilities in addition to the facility

3


 

evidenced by this Agreement, each Conduit shall allocate the liability for any applicable increased costs or reductions among Seller and other Persons with whom such Conduit has entered into agreements to purchase interests in or finance receivables and other financial assets (“Other Customers”). If any increased costs or reductions payable pursuant to this paragraph (a) are attributable to Seller and not attributable to any Other Customer, Seller shall be solely liable for such increased costs or reductions. However, if any such increased costs or reductions are attributable to Other Customers and not attributable to Seller, such Other Customer shall be solely liable for such increased costs or reductions. All allocations to be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be made by such Conduit in its sole discretion and shall be binding on Seller and the Servicer. The term “Regulatory Change” shall mean (i) the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein after the date hereof, (ii) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, or (iii) the compliance, whether commenced prior to or after the date hereof, by any Affected Entity or Purchaser with the final rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted by the United States bank regulatory agencies on December 15, 2009, or any rules or regulations promulgated in connection therewith by any such agency.
          (b) A certificate of the applicable Purchaser or Affected Entity setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such Purchaser or Affected Entity pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2 and explaining the manner in which such amount was determined shall be delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Purchaser or Affected Entity the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.
          (c) If any Purchaser or any Affected Entity (A) has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from the Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Regulatory Change appearing in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2, and (B) such Purchaser or Affected Entity believes that having the facility evidenced by this Agreement publicly rated by two credit rating agencies (or, if the applicable Purchaser or Affected Entity determines that the rating of a single credit rating agency is sufficient to achieve the same effect, by one credit rating agency) would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Purchaser or Affected Entity to be material, then such Purchaser or Affected Entity shall provide written notice to the Seller and the Servicer that such Purchaser or Affected Entity intends to request such public rating(s) of this facility from two credit rating agencies (or one credit rating agency, as applicable) selected by such Purchaser or Affected Entity and reasonably acceptable to the Seller, which rating(s) shall be at least “A” from S&P and “A2” from Moody’s, or the equivalent thereof from any other such credit rating agency (the “Required Rating(s)”). The Seller and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Purchaser’s or Affected Entity’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating(s), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the applicable credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable), either directly or through distribution to the Administrative Agent, Purchaser or Affected Entity, any information

4


 

(subject to the agreement of each applicable credit rating agency to maintain the confidentiality of any information so provided which relates to any Obligor) requested by such credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating(s). The Seller shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for providing the rating(s) and all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for their continued monitoring of the rating(s). Nothing in this Section 10.2(c) shall preclude any Purchaser or Affected Entity from demanding compensation from the Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating(s) shall have been obtained, or shall require any Purchaser or Affected Entity to obtain any ratings on the facility evidenced by this Agreement prior to demanding any such compensation from the Seller; provided, however, in demanding such compensation the applicable Purchaser or Affected Entity shall take into account and give effect to any reduction in amounts payable under Section 10.2(a) due to the Required Rating(s) having been obtained.
     (e) Article X of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended by inserting the following provision as new Section 10.4 immediately after Section 10.3 thereof:
     Section 10.4 Accounting Based Consolidation Event. Upon demand by the related Co-Agent, Seller shall pay to such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity, such amounts (without duplication of any amounts payable as described in Section 10.2 above) as such Affected Entity reasonably determines will compensate or reimburse such Affected Entity for any (i) fee, expense or increased cost charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such Affected Entity, (ii) reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Entity’s capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Entity or (iii) internal capital charge or other imputed cost, in each case, as determined by such Affected Entity to be allocable to Seller or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, in each case resulting from or in connection with the consolidation, for financial and/or regulatory accounting purposes, of all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit that are subject to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of an Affected Entity; provided, however, that in no event may any Affected Entity (or the applicable Co-Agent on its behalf) with respect to any Conduit claim or receive reimbursement or compensation for amounts under this Section 10.4 (x) that would result in the total compensation payable to it and all other Affected Entities with respect to such Conduit (inclusive of Yield and fees) exceeding the total compensation that would have been payable to all such Affected Entities immediately prior to such consolidation if purchases of Purchaser Interests had been made by the related Committed Purchaser pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement or (y) which were charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such Affected Entity on or before February 19, 2010. Amounts under this Section 10.4 may be demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by the Conduit or by any Affected Entity. A certificate of the Affected Entity setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such Affected Entity pursuant to this Section 10.4 and explaining the manner in which such amount was determined shall be delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Affected Entity the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.
