Any Group containing a Delaying Lender shall be referred to as a “Delaying Group” with respect to such Loan Increase Date. On each Delayed Funding Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, the Committed Lenders shall (or, in the case of a Group with a Conduit Lender, the Conduit Lender in such Group may in its sole discretion) fund their ratable amounts of such requested Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Related Document, the parties acknowledge and agree that the failure of any Lender to fund its Loan on the requested Loan Increase Date will not constitute a default on the part of such Lender if any Delaying Lender has timely delivered a Delayed Funding Notice signed by an Authorized Signatory to the Borrower with respect to such Loan Request. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Borrower from revoking any Loan Request related to any Delayed Funding Notice.”

(z)Section 2.03 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent under this paragraph (d).

Schedule 9

Short-Term Note Rate

The Short-Term Note Rate applicable to each of CAFCO, LLC, CHARTA, LLC, CIESCO, LLC, CRC Funding, LLC for any Interest Period (or portion thereof), shall be determined as follows: (a) to the extent that such Conduit Lender funds its Percentage of the Loan Balance during such Interest Period with Short-Term Notes, the per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the rates at which all Short-Term Notes issued by such Conduit Lender to fund its Percentage of the Loan Balance during such Interest Period were sold, which rates include all dealer commissions and other costs of issuing such Short-Term Notes, whether any such Short-Term Notes were specifically issued to fund its Percentage of the Loan Balance or are allocated, in whole or in part, to such funding, and (b) otherwise, the Bank Interest Rate.

The Short-Term Note Rate applicable to Lakeshore Trust and GIFS Capital Company LLC means, for any day during any Interest Period, the per annum rate equivalent to (a) the rate (expressed as a percentage and an interest yield equivalent and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year) or, if more than one rate, the weighted average thereof, paid or payable by such Conduit Lender from time to time as interest on or otherwise in respect of the Short-Term Notes issued by such Conduit Lender that are allocated, in whole or in part, by such Conduit’s Lender’s agent to fund the purchase or maintenance of the Loans outstanding made by such Conduit Lender (and which may also, in the case of a pool-funded conduit Conduit Lender, be allocated in part to the funding of other assets of such Conduit Lender and which Short-Term Notes need not mature on the last day of any Interest Period) during such Interest Period as determined by such Conduit Lender’s agent, which rates shall reflect and give effect to (i) certain documentation and transaction costs (including, without limitation, dealer and placement agent commissions, and incremental carrying costs incurred with respect to Short-Term Notes maturing on dates other than those on which corresponding funds are received by such Conduit Lender) associated with the issuance of the Conduit Lender’s Short-Term Notes, and (ii) other borrowings by such Conduit Lender, including borrowings to fund small or odd dollar amounts that are not easily accommodated in the commercial paper market, solely to the extent such amounts are allocated, in whole or in part, by the Conduit Lender’s agent to fund such Conduit Lender’s purchase or maintenance of the Loans outstanding made by such Conduit Lender during such Interest Period; provided, that, if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the applicable “Short-Term Note Rate” for such day, such Conduit Lender’s agent shall for such component use the rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum.

The Short-Term Note Rate applicable to Salisbury Receivables Company LLC shall mean, for each day during an Interest Period, the greater of (x) zero and (y) the weighted average rate at which interest or discount is accruing on or in respect of the Short-Term Notes with respect to such Conduit Lender allocated, in whole or in part, by the related Agent, to fund the purchase or maintenance of such portion of such Loan Balance (including, without limitation, any interest attributable to the commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of such Short-Term Notes and any costs associated with funding small or odd-lot amounts, to the extent that such

commissions or costs are allocated, in whole or in part, to such Short-Term Notes by such Agent); provided, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Short-Term Note Rate with respect to Salisbury Receivables Company LLC shall, at the election of the related Agent, be determined by such Agent by application of this definition of Short-Term Note Rate with the words “short-term promissory notes of Sheffield Receivables Company LLC” replacing the words “Short-Term Notes with respect to such Conduit Lender” or “such Short-Term Notes” wherever they appear herein.
