A.    The parties hereto have entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), and desire to amend the Receivables Purchase Agreement as set forth herein.
B.    Market Street, as the assignor (in such capacity, the “Assignor”), desires to sell, assign and delegate to PNC, as the assignee (in such capacity, the “Assignee”), all of the Assignor’s rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Assigned Documents”), and the Assignee desires to purchase and assume from the Assignor all of the Assignor’s rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under the Assigned Documents.
C.    After giving effect to the assignment and assumption contemplated in Section 1 of this Amendment, each of the parties hereto desires that Market Street cease to be a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each of the other Assigned Documents to which it is a party and to be discharged from its duties and obligations as a Purchaser or otherwise under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each of the other Assigned Documents.
D.    Concurrently herewith, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator and PNC are entering into that certain Amended and Restated Fee Letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Amended and Restated Fee Letter”).

SECTION 1.    Assignment and Assumption.
(a)    Sale and Assignment by Assignor to Assignee. At or before 2:00 pm (New York time) on the date hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor, in immediately available funds, (i) the amount set forth on Exhibit A hereto (such amount, the “Capital Payment”) representing 100.00% of the aggregate Capital of the Assignor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement on the date hereof and (ii) the amount set forth on Exhibit A hereto representing all accrued but unpaid (whether or not then due) Discount, Fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of such Capital to but excluding the date hereof (such amount, the “CP Costs and Other Costs”; together with the Capital Payment, collectively, the “Payoff Amount”). Upon the Assignor’s receipt of the Payoff Amount in its entirety, the Assignor hereby sells, transfers, assigns and delegates to the Assignee, without recourse, representation or warranty




except as otherwise provided herein, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases, receives, accepts and assumes from the Assignor, all of the Assignor’s rights under, interest in, title to and all its obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the other Assigned Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Assignor hereby assigns to the Assignee all of its right, title and interest in the Purchased Interest.
Payment of each portion of the Payoff Amount shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit B hereto.
(b)    Removal of Assignor. From and after the Effective Date (as defined below), the Assignor shall cease to be a Conduit Purchaser under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each of the other Assigned Documents to which it was a party and shall no longer have any rights or obligations of a Conduit Purchaser under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or any other Assigned Document (other than such rights or obligations which by their express terms survive termination thereof).
(c)    Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Amendment, the Assignee does not accept or assume any liability or responsibility for any breach, failure or other act or omission on the part of the Assignor, or any indemnification or other cost, fee or expense related thereto, in each case which occurred or directly or indirectly arose out of an event which occurred prior to the Effective Date.
(d)    Acknowledgement and Agreement.    Each of the parties and signatories hereto (i) hereby acknowledges and agrees to the sale, assignment and assumption set forth in clause (a) above and (ii) expressly waives any notice or other applicable requirements set forth in any Transaction Document as a prerequisite or condition precedent to such sale, assignment and assumption (other than as set forth herein).
