THIS CONSENT #3 REGARDING MASTER LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Consent”) is made as of December 29, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and among BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (“Agent”), BANC OF AMERICA LEASING & CAPITAL, LLC (together with its permitted successors and assigns, including the Assignee Lenders under the Assignment Agreement, “Lender”), CSC ASSET FUNDING I LLC (“Borrower”) and COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION (“Guarantor”).

R-1. Pursuant to that certain Master Loan and Security Agreement (Number 27108-70000) dated May 28, 2014 by and among Agent, Lender and Borrower and consented to and acknowledged by Guarantor (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Loan Agreement”), Lender made available to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, commitments to make “Advances” under (and as defined in) the Loan Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000,000. Capitalized terms used in this Consent that are not otherwise defined in this Consent shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement.
R-2. The Loan Agreement provides that Lender agrees to make Advances in order to finance the purchase of Equipment by Borrower for eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Borrower has requested that Lender extend the Drawdown Period to twenty-two (22) months following the Closing Date but no later than March 31, 2016.
R-3. The Loan Agreement provides that the deadline for requesting an Advance is the first business day of the month in which such Advance is to occur and that the proceeds of such Advance will be made available to Borrower on the 15th day of such month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower has requested that Lender make available to Borrower the proceeds of an Advance on December 29, 2015 so long as the request for such Advance (and supporting materials) is submitted to Agent on or prior to December 17, 2015.

(b) the last sentence of Section 2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“The final Unused Fee shall be payable to Lender on March 31, 2016 unless the Maximum Loan Amount is reduced to zero prior to January 1, 2016.”
Agent and Lender hereby further agree that Section 3 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended solely with respect to any Advance to be made in December, 2015 by modifying (i) the deadline for submitting an executed borrowing certificate and related materials from “on or prior to the first business day” of December 2015 to “on or prior to the 17th day” of December 2015 and (ii) the date of disbursement of the proceeds of such Advance to Borrower from December 15, 2015 to December 29, 2015.

5. Miscellaneous. This Consent may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. If a court finds any provision of this Consent unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Consent may be amended only by a written instrument executed by Borrower, Guarantor, Agent and the Majority in Interest Party. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Consent and the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the provisions of this Consent shall prevail. All paragraph headings or captions are provided for information purposes only and shall not be construed in the interpretation of the applicable paragraph.
