BACKGROUND
A.    The parties hereto (with the exception of Fifth Third) and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as structuring agent, have entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”).
B.    Concurrently herewith, the parties hereto are entering into that certain Amended and Restated Fee Letter in connection herewith (the “Amended Fee Letter”).
C.     The parties hereto desire to amend the Receivables Purchase Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.    Joinder of Purchasers; Rebalancing.
(a)    Joinder. Effective as of the date hereof, (i) Fifth Third hereby becomes a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as a Committed Purchaser thereunder with all the rights,



interests, duties and obligations of a Committed Purchaser set forth therein, (ii) Fifth Third shall constitute the sole member of a single new Purchaser Group, and (iii) Fifth Third hereby becomes a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as a Purchaser Agent thereunder with all the rights, interests, duties and obligations of a Purchaser Agent set forth therein. In its capacity as a Committed Purchaser, Fifth Third’s Commitment shall be the amount set forth on Schedule I to Exhibit A hereto.
(b)    Rebalancing of Capital. On the date hereof, the Seller will repay a portion of the outstanding Capital in the amounts for each Purchaser specified in the flow of funds memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit B; provided that all accrued and unpaid Discount with respect to such Capital so repaid shall be payable by the Seller to PNC, Atlantic and CACIB, as applicable, on the next occurring Settlement Date. The Seller hereby requests that Fifth Third fund an initial Purchase on the date hereof in an amount set forth in Exhibit B hereto. Such Purchase shall be funded by Fifth Third on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent thereto specified in the Receivables Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that no Purchase Notice shall be required therefor. For administrative convenience, the Seller hereby instructs Fifth Third to fund the foregoing Purchase by paying the proceeds thereof directly to PNC, Atlantic and CACIB to the accounts and in the amounts specified in Exhibit B hereto to be applied as the foregoing repayment of PNC’s, Atlantic’s and CACIB’s Capital (as applicable) on the Seller’s behalf. The Seller shall be deemed to have received the proceeds of such Purchase from Fifth Third for all purposes immediately upon receipt thereof by PNC, Atlantic and CACIB, respectively. PNC shall notify Seller upon receipt of such proceeds from Fifth Third.
(c)    Consents. The parties hereto hereby consent to the joinder of Fifth Third as a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement on the terms set forth in clause (a) above, to the non-ratable repayment of PNC’s, Atlantic’s and CACIB’s Capital on the terms set forth in clause (b) above and the foregoing non-ratable Purchase to be funded by Fifth Third on the terms set forth in clause (b) above, in each case, as set forth above on a one-time basis.
(d)    Credit Decision. Fifth Third (i) confirms to PNC that it has received a copy of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment and (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon PNC (in any capacity) or any of its Affiliates, based on such documents and information as Fifth Third shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and any other Transaction Document. PNC makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to (x) any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Receivables, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or (y) the financial condition of any of the Seller, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Originators or the performance or observance by any of the Seller, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Originators of any of their respective
