In connection therewith, Nieuw Amsterdam will assign a portion of the outstanding Ownership Interests held by it to BTMT (on behalf of Gotham) such that, from and after such assignment, the percentage of the outstanding Ownership Interests held by each Related Group will be proportional to their respective Related Group Limits.

          C. In addition, the parties hereto have agreed to amend the Receivables Purchase Agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          (a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that, effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4 below), (i) Gotham will be a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as a Conduit Purchaser and a Committed Purchaser and shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions thereof, (ii) BTMT will be a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as the Administrator for Gotham and shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions thereof, (iii) Gotham, BTMT and their respective successors and assigns will collectively represent a new “Related Group” under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and (iv) the fee letter described in Section 4(b) hereof shall be a “Fee Letter” for all purposes under the Receivables Purchase Agreement..

          (b) The notice address for Gotham and BTMT for purposes of the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be the address set forth under its name on Schedule I , or such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties to the Receivables Purchase Agreement pursuant to the provisions thereof.

          (c) Upon satisfaction of clauses (d) and (e) below, effective as of the Effective Date (i) the Commitment of Gotham under the Receivables Purchase Agreement will be equal to $125,000,000 and (ii) the Commitment of Rabobank International under the Receivables Purchase Agreement will be reduced to $125,000,000. The parties hereto agree that the signature pages to the Receivables Purchase Agreement will be deemed amended to reflect the arrangement described in this clause (c).

          (d) Effective upon its receipt of the Assignment Price (as defined below) on the Effective Date, Nieuw Amsterdam hereby assigns to Gotham, without recourse, warranty, or representation of any kind, except as specifically provided herein, an undivided percentage ownership interest in Nieuw Amsterdam’s right, title and interest in and to the outstanding Ownership Interests such that, from and after such sale, the percentage of the outstanding Ownership Interests held by each Related Group will be proportional to their respective Related Group Limits. BTMT hereby agrees to purchase and accept such assignment on behalf of Gotham. The Seller and the Servicer hereby acknowledge and consent to the foregoing assignment.

          (e) In consideration for the assignment described in paragraph (d), BTMT shall pay to Nieuw Amsterdam an amount (the “Assignment Price”) equal to $117,500,000 (which amount represents the total outstanding Investment associated with the Ownership Interests so assigned). Such amount shall be payable on the Effective Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Rabobank International, as Administrator for Nieuw Amsterdam.

          (f) Nieuw Amsterdam hereby represents and warrants to Gotham and BTMT that Nieuw Amsterdam owns the interest in the Ownership Interests being sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold, transferred or encumbered (or permitted to be encumbered) any or all of its interest in such Ownership Interests and that it has delivered to Gotham and BTMT copies of all of the Transaction Documents and amendments thereto in effect on the Effective Date.

          (g) Each of Gotham and BTMT hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement on the basis of its own independent investigation and has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any explicit or implicit written or oral representation, warranty or other statement of the Agent or any other Purchaser or Administrator concerning the authorization, execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Amendment, any Transaction Document, any Dealer Receivable or any Related Security (or interest therein) or any other instrument or document related to the foregoing.

          (h) This Amendment, in so far as it relates to the addition of Gotham and BTMT as parties to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the establishment of their new Related Group, shall be deemed to be a “Joinder Agreement” within the meaning of, and entered into pursuant to, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and shall be effective for all purposes thereunder.

          (i) Notwithstanding the assignment described above in this Section 1, it is understood and agreed that Gotham and BTMT shall constitute a separate and distinct Related Group under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and shall not by virtue of such assignment become members of Nieuw Amsterdam’s Related Group.

          SECTION 2. Amendments . Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended as follows:

          2.1 The definition of “Cash Control Event” in Section 1.01 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

of the per annum rates paid or payable by such Conduit Purchaser from time to time as interest on Commercial Paper Notes (by means of interest rate hedges or otherwise and taking into consideration any incremental carrying costs associated with Commercial Paper Notes issued by such Conduit Purchaser maturing on dates other than those certain dates on which such Conduit Purchaser is to receive funds) in respect of Commercial Paper Notes issued by such Conduit Purchaser that are allocated, in whole or in part, by the related Administrator (on behalf of such Conduit Purchaser) to fund or maintain the Investment of such Conduit Purchaser during such period, as determined by the related Administrator (on behalf of such Conduit Purchaser) and reported to the Seller and the Servicer, which rates shall reflect and give effect to (i) the commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of such Commercial Paper Notes, to the extent such commissions are reasonably allocated, in whole or in part, to such Commercial Paper Notes by the related Administrator (on behalf of such Conduit Purchaser) and (ii) other borrowings by such Conduit Purchaser, including, without limitation, borrowings to fund small or odd dollar amounts that are not easily accommodated in the commercial paper market; provided that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the CP Rate the related Administrator shall for such component use the rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum; and provided further that any Conduit Purchaser which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.02 may specify a different “CP Rate” in the relevant Joinder Agreement, in which case the term “CP Rate”, when used in reference to such Conduit Purchaser, shall have the meaning assigned to such term in such Joinder Agreement.”

          2.3 The definition of “Default Ratio” in Section 1.01 is amended to delete the phrase “immediately preceding 12 months” in each place where it appears therein and to substitute therefor the phrase “immediately preceding month” in each such place.

          2.9 The definition of “Planned Dilution Ratio” in Section 1.01 is amended by inserting “the greater of (a) 10% or (b)” immediately before the phrase “the percentage equivalent of a fraction” in such definition.

          2.10 The definition of “Yield Rate” in Section 1.01 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     “ “ Yield Rate ” for any Settlement Period for any Ownership Interest means:

     (i) to the extent the Purchase or the maintenance of such Ownership Interest is funded other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, a rate equal to the Alternative Rate for such Settlement Period, and

     (ii) to the extent the Purchase or maintenance of such Ownership Interest is funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, a rate equal to the CP Rate, as applicable, for such Settlement Period;

      provided , however, that from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Early Amortization Event, the Yield Rate for all Ownership Interests shall, if so declared by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.02, be equal to the Base Rate plus 2% per annum.”

          2.11 Article II is amended by adding the following new Section 2.06 thereto:

     “Section 2.06 Commitment of Committed Purchasers that are also Conduit Purchasers . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Committed Purchaser that is also a Conduit Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any Purchase hereunder unless such Committed Purchaser is able to obtain funding, liquidity or credit enhancement for such Purchase from a Conduit Funding Source pursuant to the applicable Conduit Funding Agreements. Prior to the Termination Date, each Committed Purchaser that is also a Conduit Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable efforts to, in accordance with its customary business practices and rating agency requirements, maintain a committed liquidity line or a similar committed funding source from a Conduit Funding Source in respect of, and in an amount at least equal to, its obligation to make Incremental Purchases hereunder.”

          2.12 Section 4.04 is hereby amended by adding the following after the words “Settlement Period” in clause (i) thereof:

     “or, with respect to Gotham, any reduction to Gotham’s Investment on any day other than a day that a funding tranche or funding tranches (with respect to such Investment and its Commercial Paper or its Conduit Funding Sources, as applicable) in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such reduction are scheduled to mature”.

          2.18 Section 11.05 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
