“(b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Company that funds its purchase of Purchaser Interests through the issuance of Commercial Paper shall, nor shall be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless (i) such Company has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay its Commercial Paper when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Company could issue Commercial Paper to refinance all of its outstanding Commercial Paper (assuming such outstanding Commercial Paper matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Company’s securitization program or (y) all of such Company’s Commercial Paper is paid in full. Any amount which such Company does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of such Company for any such insufficiency unless and until such Company satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above.

(h) Schedule A to the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule A attached hereto.

(i) Paragraph a of the definition of “Company Costs” in Schedule C to the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“a. For any Purchaser Interest purchased by the Bank One Company, for any day, an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Daily/90 Day LIBOR Rate in respect of such day, and (B) the aggregate Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest that shall have been funded by the Bank One Company with the issuance of Commercial Paper, divided by (ii) 360. “Daily/90 Day LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the ninety (90) day London-Interbank Offered Rate appearing on the Bloomberg BBAM (British Bankers Association) Page (or on any successor or substitute page of such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such service, as determined by the Agent from time to time in accordance with its customary practices for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to U.S. Dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day or, if such day is not a Business Day in London, the immediately preceding Business Day in London. In the event that such rate is not available on any day at such time for any reason, then the “Daily/90 Day LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be the rate at which ninety (90) day U.S. Dollar deposits of $5,000,000 are offered by the principal London office of the Agent in immediately available funds in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day; and if the Agent is for any reason unable to determine the Daily/90 Day LIBOR Rate in the foregoing manner or has determined in good faith that the Daily/90 Day LIBOR Rate determined in such manner does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring, funding or maintaining a Purchaser Interest, the Daily/90 Day LIBOR Rate for such day shall be the Alternative Base Rate.”

(j) Paragraph f of the definition of “Company Costs” in Schedule C to the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“f. For any Purchaser Interest purchased by the PNC Company, for any day, an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate in respect of such day, and (B) the aggregate Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest that shall have been funded by the PNC Company, divided by (ii) 360. “Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate for U.S. dollar deposits as reported on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or any other page that may replace such page from time to time for the purpose of displaying offered rates of leading banks for London interbank deposits in United States dollars, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day (or if not so reported, then as determined by PNC from another recognized source for interbank quotation), in each case, changing when and as such rate changes.”
