Pursuant to the definition of “Credit Agreement” in the Series 2008-1 Supplement, references to the Credit Agreement in the Series 2008-1 Supplement do not give effect to any amendment thereto (subsequent to the Second Amendment thereto dated as of March 10, 2010) unless such amendment has been approved in writing by the Requisite Noteholders.
 
Pursuant to this approval letter (this “Approval”), ABRCF is requesting the approval of each of the persons identified on Schedule I attached hereto of the Credit Agreement Amendment.
