2. AMENDMENT OF THE RECEIVABLES TRANSFER AGREEMENT
With effect from the Amendment Effective Date (as such term is defined in Clause 6 (Conditions Precedent)), the Receivables Transfer Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) In Section 1.1 (Definitions) the definition of Excluded Obligor shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
Excluded Obligor means any Obligor set forth on Schedule 9 (Excluded Obligors), as such Schedule may be amended from time to time by agreement between the Master Servicer and the Administrative Agent as notified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the other Purchasers with a copy to the Master Servicer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon the addition of any Obligor to Schedule 9, only Receivables originated on or after such date of addition shall be excluded from the Portfolio Receivables under the Transaction Documents). It being understood that upon any change to Schedule 9 any required corresponding change to the list of Determined Debtors or Further Determined Debtors (under and as defined in the Italian RPA) shall be made concurrently and any changes to the existing Determined Debtors of the Italian Originator will only become effective once the list of Further Determined Debtors to the Italian RPA has been updated in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Italian RPA.
(b) Schedule 9 (Excluded Obligors) shall be deleted and replaced with the contents of the Schedule.

4. CONTINUANCE
The Parties hereby confirm that the provisions of the Receivables Transfer Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and effect, subject only to the amendments effected thereto by this Amendment.
5. FURTHER ASSURANCE

2
