(“Buyer”), and pertains to the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement between IPCO and Buyer dated as of March 13, 2008, as heretofore amended (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are used with the meanings attributed thereto in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, the parties wish to modify the Agreement as set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Amendment. Effective as of the date hereof, the Agreement is amended as follows:
1.1.    The definition of “Receivable” in Exhibit I to the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to IPCO (at the time it arises, and before giving effect to any transfer or conveyance under this Agreement) or Buyer (after giving effect to the transfers under this Agreement) or in which IPCO or Buyer has a security interest or other interest, including, without limitation, any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible, to the extent arising in connection with the domestic sale of goods or the rendering of services by one of IPCO’s businesses listed on Schedule B attached hereto (which Schedule B may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time) and further includes, without limitation, the obligation to pay any Finance Charges with respect thereto; provided, however, that “Receivable” shall not include (i) any such indebtedness or other obligations arising on or after January 9, 2013 and due from General Mills, Inc. or any of its consolidated subsidiaries, (ii) any such indebtedness or other obligations originated by any entity other than IPCO and assigned to IPCO following such origination, and (iii) any such indebtedness or other obligations originated by IPCO and due from any Obligor where such Obligor has been instructed to pay such indebtedness or other obligation to a postal box or bank account that is not a Lock Box or a Collection Account. Indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any one transaction, including, without limitation, indebtedness and other rights and obligations represented by an individual invoice, shall constitute a Receivable separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided, further, that any indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be a Receivable regardless of whether the account debtor or IPCO treats such indebtedness, rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation.
1.2.    Exhibit III to the Agreement is deleted and replaced with Exhibit III hereto.
