The Company retains the servicing responsibility for the accounts receivable. The Company has $50 million drawn under the securitization program.

WHEREAS, to accommodate the foregoing, the Seller, the Servicer, Volt, the Buyer, the Buyer Agent and the Administrator desire to amend the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of June 3, 2008, among the Seller, the Servicer, Volt, the Buyer, the Buyer Agent and the Administrator (as amended, supplemented and/or otherwise modified prior to giving effect to this Amendment, the “Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement”);
