(a)The definition of Commitment Termination Date is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
“Commitment Termination Date” means the earliest to occur of (i) December 31, 2020; provided that solely with respect to the increase in Interest Rate as a result of this Commitment Termination Date, such date (and the effective date of such increase) shall be deemed to be ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇, (▇▇) the date that the Administrative Agent declares a Commitment Termination Date following the occurrence and continuance of any Amortization Event, or of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.02, and (iii) the date the Commitments are reduced to zero pursuant to Section 2.02.
(b)The definition of Eligible Receivable is amended by deleting clause (b) of such definition in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
b. All right, title and interest to such Receivable was acquired by the Seller from the Originator in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the Originator Program Documents in a manner consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, and is owned by the Seller at the time of acquisition by the Borrower, free of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens);
(c)(i) the Facility Limit and (ii) the amount set forth on Schedule I of the Credit Agreement with respect to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., are hereby amended by reducing such amounts, automatically and without any further action by any of the parties hereto to (A) $100,000,000 on September 1, 2020 and (B) $50,000,000 on November 17, 2020.
(d)Schedule II is hereby amended by revising the definition of Advance Rate by adding the following:
The Advance Rate shall reduce automatically (i) to 50% on March 31, 2021 and (ii) by 5%, without further action by any of the parties hereto, on each of the following dates:
• | August 31, 2020, |
• | On September 1, 2020 if (i) the Deemed Advance Rate is greater than the Weighted Advance Rate, or (ii) the Aggregate Loan Amount is greater than the Commitment; provided that such reduction will cease to be effective on the Settlement Date on which the related Borrowing Base Deficiency and the Aggregate Loan Amount is less than or equal to the Commitment, |
• | November 16, 2020, and |
• | On November 17, 2020 if (i) the Deemed Advance Rate is greater than the Weighted Advance Rate, or (ii) the Aggregate Loan Amount is greater than the Commitment; provided that such reduction will cease to be effective on the Settlement Date on which the related Borrowing Base Deficiency and the Aggregate Loan Amount is less than or equal to the Commitment. |
• | For the avoidance of doubt, the decreases above may be cumulative (that is, in addition to the automatic decreases on August 31, 2020 and November 16, 2020, to the extent that the requisite trigger is met, the Advance Rate may decrease by an additional 5% on September 1, 2020 and/or November 17, 2020. |

“Weighted Advance Rate” means, as of any date, the weighted average Advance Rate, weighted by Eligible Receivables Balance.
If a Borrowing Base Deficiency occurs solely because of a reduction in Advance Rate pursuant to clause (ii) above, then such Borrowing Base Deficiency shall be
deemed to constitute an Amortization Event and not an Event of Default until such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured; provided that, during the term of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Interest Rate shall be increased by an additional 0.75%.
(e)Schedule V is hereby amended by replacing paragraph (4) in its entirety with the following:
