In addition if at the end of any Monthly Period the Note Trust Principal Balance is less than the Required Principal Balance, unless the Note Trust Principal Balance is at least equal to the Required Principal Balance (calculated after giving effect to any payment of principal on the Notes to occur on the following Payment Date) as of the close of business on any day that is after the last day of such Monthly Period but on or prior to the Required Designation Date, Transferor shall, prior to the close of business on the Required Designation Date, require Originator to designate additional Eligible Accounts to be included as “Accounts” under (and as defined in) the Bank Receivables Sale Agreement, and Transferor shall in turn designate such accounts as Additional Accounts for purposes of this Agreement in a sufficient amount such that the Note Trust Principal Balance as of the close of business on the Addition Date, is at least equal to the Required Principal Balance (calculated after giving effect to any payment of principal on the Notes to occur on the following Payment Date). To the extent Transferor designates Additional Accounts with Principal Receivables substantially in excess of the amount of Principal Receivables required under this subsection 2.6(a), such excess shall be deemed to be optional Additional Accounts under subsection 2.6(b) below and will be permitted to be designated solely to the extent permitted by subsection 2.6(b).”

“(vi) such Additional Accounts shall not relate to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, CareCredit or, unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied, the GECAF Retailers; and”
(d) The first clause of the first sentence of Section 2.7(e) is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

(e) The phrase “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Wards and GECAF programs” in clause (iii)(A) of Section 2.7(e) is replaced with the following: “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Wards, GECAF, or CareCredit programs, as applicable,”.
(f) The first reference to “Note Trust Principal Balance” in clause (v) of Section 2.7(a) and the first reference to “Note Trust Principal Balance” in clause (iv) of Section 2.7(e) are in each case deleted and replaced with the following: “the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Principal Receivables”.
