AGREEMENT
SECTION 1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.
SECTION 2.Amendments.
2.1 The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting each reference to “$325,000,000” contained therein and replacing such reference with “$400,000,000.”
2.2 Section 4.1(x) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
“The Borrower is not, and will not, as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, be required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). In determining that the Borrower is not an “investment company,” the Borrower is entitled to rely on the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the Borrower. The Borrower is not a “covered fund” for purposes of the regulations adopted to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule.””

SECTION 7.GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 8.Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Amendment.
SECTION 9.Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby certifies that (i) the representations and warranties made by it in Section 4.1 of the Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof, as though made on and as of the date hereof and (ii) as of the date hereof, there is no Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event or event which, with the passage of time and the giving of notice, could result in a Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event.
