WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the RPAA as set forth in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of their mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the RPAA.
ARTICLE 2
AMENDMENTS
Section 2.01Amendments to the RPAA.
(a)Section 1.1 of the RPAA is hereby amended by addition of the following definition in correct alphabetical order:
“No-Service Receivable” shall mean a Transferred Receivable where, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies (i) the related Obligor has requested cancellation of such Obligor’s wireless service, (ii) such request is accepted by the Servicer
or its applicable Affiliate without payment in full of amounts owing under the related Credit Agreement, and (iii) all Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under the remaining Credit Agreement remain outstanding and payable by such Obligor following such cancellation of wireless service. For the avoidance of doubt, a Transferred Receivable becomes a No-Service Receivable on the date on which the Servicer accepts such request in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies.”
(b)Section 1.1 of the RPAA is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition of “Default Ratio” to read as follows:
““Default Ratio” shall mean, at the end of any Collection Period, the product of (a) 12 times (b) the quotient of (i) the aggregate of the Receivable Balances of the Transferred Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables or No-Service Receivables during the Collection Period over (ii) the Pool Balance at the beginning of the Collection Period.”
(c)Section 1.1 of the RPAA is hereby amended by amending and restating clause (j) of the definition of “Eligible Receivable” to read as follows:
“(j) has a Credit Agreement that relates to a service agreement for airtime service provided by an Affiliate of the Servicer, a termination of which service agreement by the related Obligor causes acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Agreement, unless such Receivable is reclassified as a No-Service Receivable in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies;”
(d)Annex A of the RPAA is hereby amended by addition of the following clause (d) to the definition of “Excess Concentrations”:
“(d) an amount equal to the aggregate Receivable Balances of No-Service Receivables.”
ARTICLE 3
CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Section 3.01Credit and Collection Policies Acknowledgment.
(a)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Credit and Collection Policies shall be amended to allow Receivables to become No-Service Receivables.
(b)Finco hereby certifies to the Administrative Agent and the Owners, as of the date hereof, that it believes that the amendment to the Credit and Collection Policies referred to in clause (a) above is not reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the collectability of the Transferred Receivables (or any Related Rights), or materially decrease the credit quality of any new Transferred Receivables (in each case, taken as a whole).

(b)Except as expressly provided herein, the RPAA shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.
