“Test Period” shall mean, as of Friday December 12, 2014 and as of each Friday thereafter, the period commencing on the 1st day of the initial Cash Flow Forecast through and including such Friday; provided that, with respect to any Friday for which the Test Period would exceed 13 weeks, the Test Period shall mean the 13 week period up to and including such Friday.
(b) Interpretation. As to each Customer, capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given them in the Account Purchase Agreement to which such Customer is party.
| 2. | Amendments. |
(a) Monthly Monitoring Fee. Upon receipt by WFBC of the monitoring fee payable under the Account Purchase Agreements (as in effect prior to this Amendment) for November 2014, the text of Section 3.08(e) of the CRD APA, and the text of Section 3.08(d) of each other Account Purchase Agreement, is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:
“Monitoring Fee. On the first day of each month until this Agreement shall be terminated and all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of Customer hereunder and of its Affiliates under the Affiliate Account Purchase Agreements have been indefeasible paid and satisfied in full, Customer shall pay to WFBC a monthly monitoring fee equal to $500,000, each of which shall be fully earned and payable when due and may be charged by WFBC to Customer’s Collected Reserve; provided, that:
(i) the monitoring fee for December 2014 shall be (X) fully earned on December 1, 2014 but payable in equal weekly installments during the month of December 2014 and (Y) in the event one or more Refinancing Events occur on or before December 31, 2014, reduced (or, if applicable, refunded) by the percentage by which the aggregate outstanding indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Customer and its Affiliates hereunder and under the Affiliate Purchase Agreement is indefeasibly repaid as a result of such Refinancing Event(s).

liabilities of Customer and its Affiliates hereunder and under the Affiliate Purchase Agreement is indefeasibly repaid as a result of such Refinancing Event(s).
(iii) each such monitoring fee shall be reduced by any amount confirmed in writing by WFBC to have been received by WFBC, in cash or other immediately available funds, in respect of any analogous monitoring fee due under any Affiliate Account Purchase Agreement on the same date and for the same period as such monitoring fee payable hereunder, such that, for the avoidance of doubt, only a single monitoring fee shall be payable for Customer and all applicable Affiliates in any month, notwithstanding the inclusion of such fee in multiple agreements.”
(b) Designated Reserve. Section 3.21 of each Account Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:
“3.21 Designated Reserve. WFBC has and shall continue to have the right to establish and maintain, in its discretion, reserves against any credit balance or other amounts payable or available to Customer from the Collected Reserve Account. Such reserves include, without limitation, the Designated Reserve.
