NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth below, the parties hereto agree to the following:

1.          Current Amendment to Existing Agreement.  As of the Effective Date (as defined below), the Existing Agreement shall be amended by

(a)          adding the following definitions to Section 1.01 of the Existing Agreement in appropriate alphabetical order:

“Excluded MSP Receivable”: Each Eligible Receivable payable from or through a Managed Service Provider and related to services for a specific Customer, to the extent such Managed Service Provider and such specific Customer are identified on the Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule and not identified therein as “Ineligible.”

“Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule”: Schedule 6, as such schedule may be amended (or amended and restated) from time to time by agreement in writing by the Borrower (or the Servicer) and the Agent (anything in Section 16.06 to the contrary notwithstanding).

“MSP Contractual Day Turnaround”: With respect to each Excluded MSP Receivable pertaining to a referenced Managed Service Provider in respect of a referenced Customer, the maximum number of business days from such Managed Service Provider’s receipt of payment from such Customer to such Managed Service Provider’s remittance to the applicable Originator (or its assignee) of the required payment under such Excluded MSP Receivable, as set forth on the Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule.

“MSP Customer Day Turnaround”: With respect to each Excluded MSP Receivable pertaining to a referenced Managed Service Provider in respect of a referenced Customer, the maximum number of calendar days from the date the Receivable is invoiced by the Managed Service Provider within which such Customer is required to make payment to such Managed Service Provider, as set forth on the Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule.

“MSP Reserve Percentage”: At any date of determination, the sum, for all Excluded MSP Receivables for all applicable Managed Service Providers, of the percentages calculated as to each respective Managed Service Provider (for the Excluded MSP Receivables of such respective Managed Service Provider as to its related respective specific Customer) as follows: (a) 0.50 times the related MSP Contractual Day Turnaround divided by the sum of (x) the related MSP Contractual Day Turnaround and (y) the related MSP Customer Day Turnaround; times (b) the percentage of Eligible Receivables represented by the Excluded MSP Receivables of such Managed Service Provider as to such Customer (equal to the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Excluded MSP Receivables of such Managed Service Provider as to such Customer divided by the Net Eligible Receivables Balance).

(b)          in the definition of “Eligible Receivable” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Agreement, (i) deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (xiii) thereof, (ii) replacing the period with a semicolon, and adding the word “and,” at the end of clause (xiv) thereof, and (iii) adding a new clause (xv) thereto to read as follows:

(xv)          Which, for any MSP Receivable with respect to a Managed Service Provider listed on the Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule: (a) relates to a Customer of such Managed Service Provider identified as its Customer on the Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule and not identified therein as “Ineligible”; (b) provides for maximum terms for remittance of payments under the respective Contract and invoice (or as otherwise established as set forth in the footnotes to the table in the Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule) corresponding to the MSP Contractual Day Turnaround and MSP Customer Day Turnaround for such Managed Servicer Provider and Customer as set forth in the Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule; and (c) arises under contractual, structural or other circumstances such that the Servicer, in considering the matter in a manner consistent with past practices, reasonably believes that the Originator (or its assigns) would have, in the event of the respective Managed Service Provider’s bankruptcy or insolvency, an enforceable claim against the respective Customer for any applicable Receivables not theretofore remitted by such Customer to such Managed Service Provider.

(c)          deleting the definition of “MSP Receivable” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Agreement and replacing it with the following:

“MSP Receivable”: A Receivable arising from services performed by an Originator for a Customer in a circumstance where such Customer has engaged a Managed Service Provider as an intermediary to arrange for the provision of such services by such Originator (and possibly for services provided by other service providers); it being understood that Contracts in respect of such services generally provide that payment to such Originator (or its assignee) is made by such Managed Service Provider after such Managed Service Provider’s receipt of corresponding payment from such Customer.

(d)          deleting the definition of “Obligor” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Agreement and replacing it with the following:

“Obligor”: A Person obligated to make payment under a Receivable. In the case of an MSP Receivable, “Obligor” includes both the Managed Service Provider and the related Customer.  In connection with the determination of the Overconcentration Amount, Eligible Receivables of any single Obligor or group of Obligors within any rating or range of ratings shall include, without duplication for any Receivable, (A) Eligible Receivables of any Customer with ratings in such range, and (B) with respect to MSP Receivables (other than, for purposes of clauses (i)-(x) of the definition of “Overconcentration Amount,” Volt MSP Receivables and Excluded MSP Receivables), Eligible Receivables with a Managed Service Provider with ratings in such range.  For clarity, Volt MSP Receivables and Excluded MSP Receivables shall be included in any rating or range of ratings based solely on the ratings of the related Customer.

(e)          deleting the definition of “Required Reserve Percentage” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Agreement and replacing it with the following:

“Required Reserve Percentage”:  As of any date of determination, the total amount of reserves, expressed as a percentage of the Net Eligible Receivables Balance, equal to the sum of the Dilution Reserve Percentage, the Discount Reserve Percentage, the Loss Reserve Percentage, the F/X Reserve Percentage and the MSP Reserve Percentage.

(f)          adding Schedule 6 attached hereto as a new Schedule 6 to the Existing Agreement, subject to the ability of the Borrower (or the Servicer) and the Agent to amend such Schedule 6 as provided in the definition of “Excluded MSP Receivables Schedule,” and adding reference thereto at the end of the list of Schedules in the Table of Contents to the Existing Agreement.

2.          Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall be retroactively effective as of January 25, 2019 (such date, the “Effective Date”), but only upon delivery to the Agent of counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by all parties hereto.

3.          Miscellaneous.
