mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE COMMITMENT
SECTION 1.1. Commitment. On the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Article V):
(a) Purchases. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions herein set forth the Transferor may, at its option, convey,

behalf of the Bank Investors, provided that the Purchase
2
3
Termination Date shall not have occurred and that the Bank Investors
shall have previously accepted the assignment by the Purchaser of all
of its interest in the Undivided Interests, shall, if so requested by
the Transferor, accept such conveyance, transfer and assignment from
the Transferor, without recourse except as provided herein, undivided
percentage ownership interests in the Receivables, together with
Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto (each
such conveyance, transfer and assignment, a "Purchase"). Each Purchase
shall be in accordance with Section 1.3(b). Under no circumstances
shall Reinvestments be deemed to be Purchases.
(b) Reinvestments. Pursuant to Section 3.1, during the
period from the date hereof to the Purchase Termination Date, Servicer
shall cause certain of the Collections in respect of the Undivided
Interests to be applied to the purchase of additional undivided
interests in Pool Receivables, thereby resulting in an appropriate
readjustment of such Undivided Interests. Each such purchase of an
additional undivided interest pursuant to Section 3.1 is herein called
a "Reinvestment". The Bank Investors' obligation to make such Purchases
and Reinvestments is herein called the "Commitment" and the amount
thereof shall be equal to the Maximum Purchase Limit.
SECTION 1.2. Purchase and Reinvestment Limits. Under no
circumstances shall the Agent, on behalf of the Purchaser or the Bank Investors,
as applicable, make any Purchase or Reinvestment to the extent that, after
giving effect to such Purchase or Reinvestment, as the case may be:
(a) Purchase Limit. The Aggregate Purchaser Investments
would exceed an amount (the "Purchase Limit") equal to the lesser of
(x) $75,000,000 as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 1.7
(the "Maximum Purchase Limit"), and (y) the then Net Pool Balance; or
(b) Required Allocations Limit. The Aggregate Required
Allocations would exceed an amount (the "Required Allocations Limit")
equal to 100% of the Net Pool Balance (as defined in Section 2.3); or
(c) The sum of the Aggregate Purchaser Investments plus
the Interest Component of all outstanding Related Commercial Paper
would exceed the Facility Limit.

agreed that once any proposed Purchase hereunder is acquired on behalf of the
Bank Investors, the Agent, on behalf of such Bank Investors, shall be required
to purchase, and the Purchaser shall be required to sell, all Undivided
Interests held by the Agent on behalf of the Purchaser in accordance with
Section 13.5 and thereafter no additional Purchases shall be acquired on behalf
of the Purchaser hereunder. If such notice is received after 11:00 a.m. (New
York time) by the Agent, such notice shall be deemed provided on the next
following Business Day. Each such notice of a proposed Purchase shall specify
the desired amount and date of such Purchase and the desired duration of the
initial Yield Periods for the resulting Undivided Interests. The Agent shall
select the duration of such initial, and each subsequent, Yield Period with

upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V, the
Purchaser or each Bank Investor, as the case may be, shall make available to the
Agent at the address of its office set forth on the signature pages hereto, the
dollar amount of the Purchase Price, in the case of the Purchaser, or in the
case of the Bank Investors, the amount of each Bank Investor's Percentage of

Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, and written notice of acceptance given by
the Agent and the Bank Investors to the Transferor not later than 15 days prior
to such Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. No such extension shall be

circumstances shall not permit such 30 days' notice, of the termination of the
Commitment with respect to Purchases by the Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing
sentence, but failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not prevent
or delay such termination.
(c) The provisions of Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as
applicable, shall apply with respect to the Purchaser's Investment until such
time as the Purchaser has or the Bank Investors, as applicable, have received

maintain with the Purchaser or with the Bank Investors, as the case may be, at
least one Undivided Interest, the Purchaser's Investment in which shall be no
less than $4,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent) and which shall have
a related Yield Period of no more than 35 days ending on the twenty-fourth day
of each calendar month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day) and beginning on the day immediately succeeding the
last day of the previous Yield Period (provided that the first Yield Period
shall begin on the date of the first Purchase hereunder). If on any day the
Undivided Interest required to be maintained with the Purchaser or with the Bank
Investors pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall for any reason have a Purchaser's
Investment of less than $4,000,000, the Agent shall manage the Yield Periods
related to the Purchaser's Investment other Undivided Interests in a manner such
that within 60 days of such day the Purchaser's Investment of such Undivided
Interest required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall again

accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other
Agreement Documents.

ARTICLE II
UNDIVIDED INTEREST AND PURCHASER'S SHARE
SECTION 2.1. Undivided Interest. (a) Definition and
Computation of Undivided Interest. For purposes of this Agreement, "Undivided
Interest" for the Purchaser and/or Bank Investors, as applicable, means, as the
context may require (i) an undivided ownership interest, in a percentage
determined from time to time as provided in clause (ii) below, in (A) all then
outstanding Pool Receivables, (B) all Related Security with respect to such Pool
Receivables, and (C) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of,
such Pool Receivables and Related Security; and (ii) at any time, the quotient,
expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing the Required Allocation for such
Undivided Interest by the Net Pool Balance. Each Undivided Interest shall be
computed as follows:
UI = RA = PI + DF + DR + LR + SFR
--- -------------------------------
NPB NPB
where:
UI = the Undivided Interest at any time;
RA = the Required Allocations of such undivided Interest at such
time, which shall be an amount at any time equal to the amount
of the numerator of the fraction set forth above;
PI = the Purchaser's Investment of such Undivided Interest at such
time as determined pursuant to Section 2.2;
DF = the Discount Factor of such Undivided Interest at such time,
as determined pursuant to Part I of Appendix B;
DR = the Dilution Reserve of such Undivided Interest at such time,
as determined pursuant to Part II of Appendix B;
LR = the Loss Reserve of such Undivided Interest at such time, as
determined pursuant to Part II of Appendix B;
7
8
SFR = the Servicer's Fee Reserve of such Undivided Interest at such
time, as determined pursuant to Part III of Appendix B; and
NPB = the Net Pool Balance at such time, as determined pursuant to
Section 2.3.
The "related" Undivided Interest with respect to any of the foregoing items
shall mean the Undivided Interest as to which such item is calculated.
(b) Frequency of Computation of Purchaser's Interest.
Each Undivided Interest shall initially be computed as of the opening of
business of Servicer on the date of Purchase of such Undivided Interest from the
Transferor, and such Undivided Interest shall be recomputed upon receipt of each
Periodic Report. The Agent on behalf of the Purchaser or the Bank Investors, as
the case may be, may at any time request Servicer to recompute its Undivided
Interests. In addition, until such Undivided Interest shall be reduced to zero,
such Undivided Interest shall be deemed to be automatically recomputed as of the
close of business of Servicer on each day (other than a day on which an actual
recomputation is done), and, as so recomputed, shall constitute the percentage
ownership interest in Pool Receivables held by the Purchaser or the Bank
Investors, as the case may be, on such day. Such Undivided Interest shall become
zero at such time as the Purchaser, or the Bank Investors, as the case may be,
shall have received the accrued Earned Discount for such Undivided Interest,
shall have recovered the Purchaser's Investment of such Undivided Interest and
shall have received all other amounts payable to the Purchaser or the Bank
Investors, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such
Undivided Interest and Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicer's Fee
for such Undivided Interest. Such Undivided Interest shall remain constant from
the time as of which any such computation or recomputation is made until the
time as of which the next such recomputations if any, shall be made.
SECTION 2.2. Purchaser's Investment. (a) Subject to
subsections (b) and (c), the "Purchaser's Investment" of an Undivided Interest
owned by the Purchaser or any Bank Investor at any time means an amount equal
to:
(i) the aggregate of the amounts theretofore paid by the
Purchaser or the Bank Investors, to the Transferor (and, in the case of
the Bank Investors, to the Purchaser) for the acquisition of such
Undivided Interest (A) by Purchase pursuant to Sections 1.1(a)
8
9
and 1.3 and (B) by Reinvestments pursuant to Sections 1.1(b) and 3.1,
and (C) in the case of the Bank Investors, pursuant to Section 13.5,
less
(ii) the aggregate amount of Collections theretofore
received and distributed on account of the Purchaser's Investment
pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (other than any portion allocable to
Earned Discount pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof).
(b) Solely for purposes of calculating the Earned
Discount (and each component thereof) with respect to a portion of an Undivided
Interest purchased or funded by an Enterprise Liquidity Provider or Enterprise
Credit Support Provider pursuant to the proviso to the definition of "Earned
Discount" in Appendix B:
(i) "Purchaser's Investment" of any portion of an
Undivided Interest owned by an Enterprise Liquidity Provider or
otherwise funded pursuant to an Enterprise Liquidity Agreement shall be
deemed to be the amount paid to Enterprise by such Enterprise Liquidity
Provider as the purchase price of, or the original principal amount
loaned with respect to, such portion (less any portion of such purchase
price or principal amount allocable to Earned Discount accrued and
unpaid at the time of purchase or funding by such Enterprise Liquidity
Provider), as reduced from time to time by Collections indefeasibly
received and distributed to such Enterprise Liquidity Provider on
account of such purchase price or principal amount (other than any
portion allocable to Earned Discount pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2
hereof);
(ii) "Purchaser's Investment" of any portion of an
Undivided Interest funded under an Enterprise Credit Support Agreement
shall be deemed to be the principal amount of the advance or drawing
under such Enterprise Credit Support Agreement with respect to such
portion (less the amount, if any, of such advance or drawing used to
fund Earned Discount accrued and unpaid at the time of the making of
such advance or drawing), as reduced by any payments indefeasibly made
by Enterprise or the Enterprise Liquidity Provider to the Enterprise
Credit Support Provider in reimbursement of such drawing or repayment
of such advance, as the case may be (less any amount allocable to such
accrued and unpaid Earned Discount); and
9
10
(iii) "Purchaser's Investment" of any other portion of an
Undivided Interest shall mean such Purchaser's Investment of such
Undivided Interest less the sum of such Purchaser's Investments of all
portions of such Undivided Interest described in clauses (i) and (ii)
above, calculated in accordance with such clauses (i) and (ii), as
applicable.
(c) The Purchaser's Investment shall not be considered
reduced by any distribution of any portion of Collections if at any time such
distribution is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason.
(d) The "related" Purchaser's Investment with regard to a
Yield Period or Undivided Interest (or portion thereof) means the Purchaser's
Investment calculated with regard to such Yield Period or Undivided Interest (or
such portion), as the case may be.
SECTION 2.3. Net Pool-Balance. (a) The "Net Pool Balance" at
any time means an amount equal to:
(i) the aggregate Unpaid Balance of the Eligible
Receivables in the Receivables Pool at such time, minus
(ii) the aggregate (for all Obligors) of the amounts by
which (x) the Unpaid Balance of all Pool Receivables of each Obligor
exceeds (y) the Concentration Limit for such Obligor at such time.
(b) "Concentration Limits": (i) the aggregate
Concentration Limit for any Obligor or Government Obligor at any time means the
greater of (x) the Special Concentration Limit, if any, for such Obligor and (y)
2.0% of the Aggregate Unpaid Balance of the Eligible Receivables in the
Receivables Pool at such time;
(ii) the aggregate Concentration Limit for all
Obligors with respect to Receivables originated by Wackenhut
Airline Services, Inc. shall be 10% of the Aggregate Unpaid
Balance of the Eligible Receivables in the Receivables Pool at
any time;
(iii) the aggregate Concentration Limit for all
Obligors with respect to Receivables for which the related
service has not yet been rendered by the Seller or an
Originator shall be 2% of the Aggregate Unpaid Balance of the
Eligible Receivables in the Receivables Pool at any time;
10
11
(iv) the aggregate Concentration Limit for all
Government Obligors shall be 15% of the Aggregate Unpaid Balance of the
Eligible Receivables in the Receivables Pool at any time; and
(v) the aggregate Concentration Limit for all
Obligors with respect to Receivables which are required to be paid in
full not less than 31 days nor more than 60 days after the billing
thereof, shall be 10% of the Aggregate Unpaid Balance of the Eligible
Receivables in the Receivables Pool at any time, provided, however,
that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to reduce this
percentage to 0% at any time upon three (3) days prior written notice
to the Transferor and Servicer.
(c) "Special Concentration Limit" for any Obligor means
the amount designated from time to time as such by the Agent with regard to any
Obligor in a writing delivered to the Transferor (it being understood that the
most recent writing at any time delivered to the Transferor shall supersede each
previous writing); provided however, that the Special Concentration Limits in
effect as of the date hereof shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.3(b) hereto.
(d) In the case of any Obligor which is an Affiliate of
any other Obligor, the Concentration Limit, the Special Concentration Limit, if
any, and the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Pool Receivables of such Obligors shall
be calculated as if such Obligors were one Obligor.
SECTION 2.4. Shares.
(a) Aggregate Purchaser's Share. The Purchaser's, or the
Bank Investors', as the case may be, "Aggregate Purchaser's Share" of
Collections of Pool Receivables received (or deemed received) by the Transferor
or Servicer on any day means an amount calculated by the Servicer (subject to
recalculation by any Agent) equal to the product of:
(i) the amount of all Collections of Pool Receivables
received (or deemed received) by the Transferor or Servicer on such
day, times
(ii) the Aggregate Required Allocations divided by the Net
Pool Balance.
(b) Purchaser's Share. With respect to each Undivided
Interest, the related "Purchaser's Share" of Collections of Pool
11
12
Receivables received (or deemed received) by the Transferor or Servicer on any
day means an amount equal to the product of:
(i) the Aggregate Purchaser's Share of Collections for
such day, times
(ii) (A) if such day is not a Run Off Day, the quotient of (1)
such Undivided Interest on such day, expressed as a decimal divided by
(2) all of the Undivided Interests on such day, expressed as a decimal,
(B) if such day is a Run Off Day, the quotient of (1)
such Undivided Interest on the first Run Off Day to have occurred
during the then current Run Off Period, expressed as a decimal, divided
by (2) all of the Undivided Interests on such day, expressed as a
decimal; provided that after such time as an Undivided Interest shall
equal zero, the Purchaser's Share of Collections therefor shall also
equal zero, and
(C) each Bank Investor shall share pro rata in the
Aggregate Purchaser's Share.
ARTICLE III
SETTLEMENTS
SECTION 3.1. Non-Run Off Settlement Procedures for
Collections. (a) Daily Procedure. On each day (other than a Run Off Day) in any
Yield Period for any Undivided Interest, Servicer shall deem an amount equal to
the Purchaser's Share but not in excess of the Aggregate Purchaser's Share (as
determined in Section 2.4) of Collections of Pool Receivables received or deemed
received on such day to be received in respect of such Undivided Interest; and
(i) out of the Purchaser's Share of such Collections,
hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or the Bank Investors,
as the case may be, of such Undivided Interest an amount equal to the
related Earned Discount and related Servicer's Fee accrued through such
day and not previously so held for the benefit of the Purchaser or the
Bank Investors, as the case may be,
(ii) apply an amount equal to the remainder of the
Purchaser's Share of such Collections (the "Remaining Collections") to
reduce the Purchaser's Investment of
12
13
such Undivided Interest (it being understood that such amount need not
be physically paid to the Purchaser or the Bank Investors under this
clause (ii)),
(iii) subject to Section 3.3, after such reduction, (A)
apply such Remaining Collections to the Reinvestment, for the benefit
of the Purchaser or the Bank Investor, as the case may be, of
additional undivided interests in Pool Receivables by recomputation of
such Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 2.1 as of the end of such
day, thereby increasing the Purchaser's Investment, and (B) pay to the
Transferor such Remaining Collections.
The recomputed Undivided Interest shall constitute the percentage ownership
interest in Pool Receivables on such day held by the Purchaser or the Bank
Investors, as the case may be, with regard to such Undivided Interest.
(b) Settlement Date Procedure. On the Settlement Date for
each Undivided Interest, for each day in the related Yield Period of such
Settlement Period that is not a Run Off Day for such Undivided Interest, out of
the related Purchaser's Share of Collections for each such Undivided Interest,
Servicer shall deposit to the Agent's account for the Purchaser, or the Bank
Investors, whichever then holds such Undivided Interest, as described in Section
3.5, the amounts set aside as described in Section 3.1(a)(i) and the amounts, if
any, set aside pursuant to Section 3.3(b) or (c) for payment to the Agent on
such Settlement Date; provided, however, that if the Agent gives its consent
(which consent may be revoked at any time), Servicer may retain amounts which
would otherwise be deposited in respect of Servicer's Fee, in which case no
distribution shall be made in respect of Servicer's Fee under clause (c) below.
(c) Order of Application. Upon receipt by the Agent of
funds distributed pursuant to subsection (b) in respect of an Undivided Interest
owned by the Purchaser or the Bank Investors, as the case may be, the Agent
shall distribute such funds first, (i) to the Purchaser or the Bank Investors,
as applicable, in payment of the accrued and unpaid Earned Discount and Program
Fee for such Undivided Interest until paid in full, then (ii) to Servicer in
payment of the accrued and unpaid Servicer's Fee payable with respect to such
Undivided Interest until paid in full, and (iii) in the case of any amounts set
aside pursuant to Section 3.3(b) or (c), to the Purchaser or the Bank Investors,
as applicable, in reduction of the Purchaser's Investment therein.

(a) Daily Procedure. On each Run Off Day occurring in any Yield Period for an
Undivided Interest, Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the Purchaser
or the Bank Investors, as appropriate, the Purchaser's Share of the Collections
of Pool Receivables in respect of such Undivided Interest for such Run Off Day
but not in excess of the Aggregate Purchaser's Share and, if requested in
writing by the Agent (in its sole discretion), by depositing such Collections
within one Business Day of the Servicer's receipt thereof into a bank account at
the Agent on behalf of the Purchaser or the Bank Investors in which no other
funds shall be deposited.
(b) Settlement Date Procedure. On each Settlement Date
for each Undivided Interest, if one or more Run Off Days for such Undivided
Interest occurred during the related Yield Period for the Settlement Period
ending on such Settlement Date for such Undivided Interest, Servicer shall
deposit to the account of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchaser or the Bank
Investors then owning such Undivided Interest, as described in Section 3.5, the
amounts set aside pursuant to Section 3.2(a) out of the Purchaser's Share of
Collections during such Settlement Period, but not to exceed the sum of (i) the
accrued and unpaid Earned Discount, (ii) the Purchaser's Investment of such
Undivided Interest, (iii) the aggregate of other amounts owed hereunder by the
Transferor to the Purchaser, any Bank Investor or the Agent in respect of such
Undivided Interest, and (iv) the accrued Servicer's Fee payable with respect to
such Undivided Interest. If no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event
shall have occurred and be continuing, any amounts set aside pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 3.2 and not required to be deposited to the
Agent's account pursuant to the next preceding sentence shall be paid to the
Transferor by Servicer.
(c) Order of Application. Upon receipt by the Agent of
funds deposited to its account pursuant to Section 3.2(b), the Agent shall

may be, or to the Agent (as the case may be) (A) in payment of the accrued and
unpaid Earned Discount and Program Fee for such Undivided Interest, (B) in
reduction of the Purchaser's Investment of such Undivided Interest and (C) in
payment of any other amounts owed by the Transferor hereunder to the Purchaser
or the Agent, in each case until reduced to zero, and (ii) to Servicer in
payment of the accrued and unpaid Servicer's Fee payable with respect to such
Undivided Interest, also until reduced to zero. If there shall be insufficient
funds on deposit for the Agent to distribute funds in payment in full of the
aforementioned amounts, the Agent shall distribute funds

(i) the Unpaid Balance of any Pool Receivable is:
(A) reduced as a result of any defective, rejected or
returned merchandise or services, any cash discount, or any
adjustment by the Transferor, any Originator or Seller or any
Affiliate of the Transferor or any Originator or Seller; or
(B) reduced or cancelled as a result of a setoff in
respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof against the
Transferor, any Originator or Seller or any Affiliate of the
Transferor or any Originator or Seller (whether such claim
arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated
transaction); or
(C) reduced on account of the obligation of the
Transferor to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund;
or
(ii) any of the representations or warranties of the
Transferor set forth in Section 6.1(l) or (p) is no longer true with

(b) Unreinvested Collections. Collections that may not be
reinvested by means of Reinvestments in an Undivided Interest on account of the
application of the Required Allocations Limit or the Purchase Limit pursuant to
Section 1.2 shall be so reinvested as soon as it is possible to do so without
violating such Required Allocations Limit or Purchase Limit, as the case may be.
To the extent and so long as such Collections may not be so reinvested, Servicer
shall hold such Collections ratably in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or
the Bank Investors, as the case may be, and, if requested by the Agent, in a
separate deposit account with the Agent containing only the Purchaser's Share of
such Collections and no other funds, for payment to the Agent on the next
following Settlement Date for application to the next maturing Undivided
Interests.
(c) The Transferor's Reduction of Aggregate Purchaser's
Investment. If at any time the Transferor shall wish to cause the reduction of
the Aggregate Purchaser's Investment (but not to commence the liquidation, or
reduction to zero, of all Undivided Interests), the Transferor may do so as
follows:
(i) the Transferor shall give the Agent at least three
Business Days' prior written notice thereof (including the amount of
such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction
will commence) and, if applicable, shall cause the reduction to be
allocated ratably among the Bank Investors such that each Bank Investor
shall receive its pro rata share of the aggregate amount of such
proposed reductions;
(ii) on the proposed date of commencement of such
reduction and on each day thereafter, Servicer shall refrain from
reinvesting Remaining Collections in Undivided Interests, until the
amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of
reduction for the Purchaser or the Bank Investors, as the case may be;
and
(iii) Servicer shall hold such Collections for the benefit
of the Purchaser or the Bank Investors, as the case may be, for the
payment to the Agent for each Undivided Interest proposed to be reduced
in connection herewith, in which such Collections are accumulated, and
such amounts shall be applied to reduce the Purchaser's Investment in
such Undivided Interests in accordance with the provisos hereto and
with regard to any Undivided Interest, the related Purchaser's
Investment of such Undivided Interest shall be deemed reduced
16
17
in the amount to be paid to the Agent only when in fact finally so
paid;
provided that,
(A) any such reduction may only be effected on the
last day of the related Yield Period for any Undivided
Interest the related Purchaser's Investment in which has been
requested to be reduced and only to the extent that after
giving effect to any such reduction the remaining Purchaser's
Investment in such Undivided Interest shall not be less than
$1,000,000 (unless the Purchaser's Investment of such
Undivided Interest shall thereby be reduced to zero) and shall
be in an integral multiple of $100,000,
(B) if the Transferor shall commence any voluntary
reduction in a Yield Period containing all or a portion of any
Run Off Period, Collections not so reinvested shall be treated
as if collected on the next following Run Off Day,
(C) the Transferor shall use reasonable efforts to
attempt to choose a reduction amount, and the date of
commencement thereof, so that such reduction shall commence
and conclude in the same Yield Period, and
(D) if two or more Undivided Interests of the
Purchaser or any Bank Investor shall be outstanding at the
time of any proposed reduction, such proposed reduction shall
be applied, unless the Agent shall consent otherwise, to the
Undivided Interest with the shortest remaining Yield Period.
(d) Allocations of Obligor's Payments. Except as provided
in Section 3.3(a) or as otherwise required by law or the underlying Contract,
all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to
Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such
Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable; provided, however, that,
if payment is designated by such Obligor for application to specific
Receivables, it shall be applied to such specified Receivables.
17
18
(e) Deposit to Collection Account. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Agent may require the Transferor and
Servicer (or their designees or successors) at any time (such instruction shall
be deemed given upon the occurrence and continuance of a Termination Event), to
deposit all Collections of Pool Receivables received (including, without
limitation, received by any Lock-Box Bank) to an account established at the
Agent (the "Collection Account") within one Business Day of receipt thereof.
Such Collections shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, including Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof. Servicer (or its
designee or successor) shall notify the Agent of the amount of funds deposited
in the Collection Account not received from Pool Receivables and the Agent shall
remit such funds as soon as practicable after such notification to such account
as Servicer (or its designee or successor) shall designate.
SECTION 3.4. Reporting. (a) On or prior to the twentieth day
of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day), Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent a Periodic Report
(including a certification that no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination
Event shall have occurred) relating to all Undivided Interests owned by the
Purchaser or the Bank Investors, as applicable, as of the close of business of
Servicer on the next preceding Month End Date.
(b) On or prior to each Settlement Date, the Transferor
will advise the Agent and, if Wackenhut is not the Servicer, the Servicer of
each Run Off Day occurring during the Settlement Period ending on such
Settlement Date.
(c) On or prior to each Purchase or Reinvestment
hereunder, the Transferor shall permanently xxxx in the computer records for
each Receivable subject to such Purchase or Reinvestment that such Receivable is
subject to the interest of the Agent, on behalf of the Purchaser or the Bank
Investors hereunder, as the case may be.
SECTION 3.5. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) Unless
otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts to be paid or
deposited by the Transferor hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance
with the terms hereof no later than noon (New York time) on the day when due in
lawful money of the United States of America in same day funds to accounts
indicated in writing by the Agent. If the Agent shall have received such funds
by noon (New York time), it shall forward the portion of the funds deposited
that are due to the Purchaser or the Bank
18
19
Investors by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day and if received after noon
(New York time), on the next following Business Day.
(b) The Transferor or Servicer, as applicable, shall,
to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent interest on all amounts not
paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2% per annum above the Alternate
Reference Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate
shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Such
interest shall be retained by the Agent except to the extent that such failure
to make a timely payment or deposit has continued beyond the date for
distribution by the Agent of such overdue amount to the Purchaser or the Bank
Investors, if any, or any other Person having an interest in such overdue
amount, in which case such interest accruing after such date shall be for the
account of, and distributed by the Agent, to such Persons ratably in accordance
with their respective interests in such overdue amount.
(c) All computations of interest, Earned Discount,
Negative Spread Fee and any other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a
year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) elapsed.
SECTION 3.6. Dividing or Combining Undivided Interests.
(a) Division of Undivided Interests. The Agent may at
any time, as of the last day of any Yield Period for any then existing Undivided
Interest owned by the Purchaser or any Bank Investor, as the case may be, divide
such existing Undivided Interest on such last day into two or more new Undivided
Interests, each such new Undivided Interest having a Purchaser's Investment as
designated by the Agent and all such new Undivided Interests collectively having
aggregate Purchaser's Investments equal to the Purchaser's Investment of such
existing Undivided Interest.
(b) Combination of Undivided Interests. The Agent may
at any time, as of the last day of any Yield Period for two or more existing
Undivided Interests owned by the Purchaser or the Bank Investors, as the case
may be, on or before the date of any proposed Purchase of an Undivided Interest
pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 1.4 by the Purchaser or the Bank Investors, as the
case may be, on such last day or such date of Purchase, as the case may be,
combine into one new Undivided Interest such existing and/or proposed Undivided
Interests or any combination thereof, such new Undivided Interest having a
Purchaser's Investment equal
19
20
to the aggregate Purchaser's Investments of such Undivided Interests so
combined.
(c) Effect of Division or Combination. On and after any
division or combination of Undivided Interests as described above, each of the
new Undivided Interests resulting from such division, or the new Undivided
Interest resulting from such combination, as the case may be, shall be a
separate Undivided Interest having a Purchaser's Investment as set forth above,
and shall take the place of such existing Undivided Interest or Undivided
Interests or proposed Undivided Interest, as the case may be, in each case under
and for all purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.7. Treatment of Collections and Deemed Collections.
The Transferor shall forthwith deliver to Servicer all Collections deemed
received by the Transferor pursuant to Section 3.3(a), and Servicer shall hold
or distribute such Collections as Earned Discount, accrued Servicer's Fee,
repayment of Purchaser's Investment, etc., to the same extent as if such
Collections had actually been received on the date of such delivery to Servicer.
If Collections are then being paid to the Agent, or lock boxes or accounts
directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Agent, Servicer shall
forthwith cause such deemed Collections to be ratably paid to the Agent or to
such lock boxes or accounts, as applicable. So long as the Transferor shall hold
any Collections or deemed Collections required to be paid to Servicer or to the
Agent, it shall hold such Collections in trust and separate and apart from its
own funds and shall clearly xxxx its records to reflect such trust.
ARTICLE IV

23
(z) in the sole determination of such Affected Party, to
reduce the rate of return on the capital of an Affected Party as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection
herewith to a level below that which such Affected Party could
otherwise have achieved, then within thirty days after demand by such
Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis of such demand), the Transferor shall pay
directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased
cost or such reduction; provided that, such demand shall be made only

notification of the Transferor pursuant to paragraph (b) below.

no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect
the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation.
(c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this
Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected
Party when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to the Transferor
a statement as to such increased cost or reduced return (including calculation
thereof in reasonable detail), which statement shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding upon the Transferor.

material adverse effect on Wackenhut's ability to perform its obligations as
Servicer hereunder (any such Termination Event or other event being herein
called a "Servicer Transfer Event"), in which case such Successor Notice may be
given at any time in the Agent's discretion. If Wackenhut disputes the
occurrence of a Servicer Transfer Event, Wackenhut may take appropriate action
to resolve such dispute; provided that Wackenhut must terminate its activities
hereunder as Servicer and allow the newly designated Servicer to perform such

cumulative. Without limiting the foregoing or the general applicability of
Article XIII hereof, the occurrence of a Termination Event shall not deny to the

otherwise appropriately entitled, whether at law or in equity.
ARTICLE XII
THE AGENT
SECTION 12.1. Authorization and Action. The Purchaser and each
Bank Investor hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as

selected by it with reasonable care.

entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other

or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any of the Transferor or the
Servicer), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Agent. As
to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent shall not
be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required
to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Bank Investors, and such
instructions shall be binding on all of the Bank Investors; provided, however,
that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent
to personal liability or
65
66

first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Bank Investors against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any
such action.

Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Transferor,
Servicer, any Originator or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and
any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Transferor or any
Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if Bank of America was not
the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Purchaser, any Bank
Investor or any other holder of an interest in Pool Receivables.
SECTION 12.4. Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at
any time by giving notice thereof to the Purchaser, the Bank Investors and the
Transferor. Upon any such resignation, the Agent and the Bank Investors which

the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Agent or the Bank Investors which hold 50% or more by aggregate
principal balance of the Facility Limit and shall have accepted such appointment
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of
resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Purchaser and the
Bank Investors, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States of America having combined capital
and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of
the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Agent.
ARTICLE XIII

Bank Commitment, Bank of America (and any successor acting as Agent) in its
capacity as a Bank Investor hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Bank Investor and may
66
67
exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Agent, and the term "Bank
Investor" or "Bank Investors" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Agent in its individual capacity. Bank of America (and any successor
acting as Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to

investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of
lending, trust, or other business with any of the Transferor and the Agent or
any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates as if it were not acting as Agent, and
Bank of America (and any successor acting as Agent) and its affiliates may
accept fees and other consideration from any of the Transferor and its
affiliates and the Agent or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates for services
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the
same to the Purchaser or any Bank Investor.
SECTION 13.2. Indemnification of the Agent. The Bank Investors
agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Transferor),
ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata portions of the Undivided Interests,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys'
fees), or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (including by the Purchaser or
any Bank Investor) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Agreement Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any
other Agreement Document, provided that no Bank Investors shall be liable for
any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Person indemnified. Without limitation of the
foregoing, the Bank Investors agree to reimburse the Agent, ratably in
accordance with their Pro Rata portions of the Undivided Interests promptly upon
demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by
the Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement
and the other Agreement Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred
in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Bank Investors hereunder
and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by the Transferor. The agreements contained in this Section 13.2 shall
survive payment in full of the Undivided Interests and all other amounts payable
under this Agreement.
67
68
SECTION 13.3. Non-Reliance. The Purchaser and each Bank
Investor agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or
the Purchaser or any Bank Investor, and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Transferor and
the Agent and their Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Purchaser
or any Bank Investor, and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in
taking or not taking action under the Agreement Documents. Except for notices,
reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished
to the Purchaser and the Bank Investors by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall
not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of
the Transferor or the Agent or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates that may
come into the possession of the Agent or any of its affiliates.
SECTION 13.4. Payments by the Agent. Unless specifically
allocated to a Bank Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all
amounts received by the Agent on behalf of the Bank Investors shall be paid by
the Agent to the Bank Investors (at their respective accounts specified in their
respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements) in accordance with their
respective related pro rata interests in the Undivided Interest, on the Business
Day received by the Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on
such Business Day, in which case the Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to
pay such amounts to the Bank Investors on such Business Day, but, in any event,
shall pay such amounts to the Bank Investors in accordance with their respective
related pro rata interests in the Undivided Interest, not later than the
following Business Day.
SECTION 13.5. Bank Commitment; Assignment to Bank Investors.
(a) Bank Commitment. At any time on or prior to the
Commitment Termination Date, in the event that the Purchaser does not effect a
Purchase as requested under Section 2.1 then at any time, the Transferor shall
have the right to require the Purchaser to assign its interest in the Aggregate
Purchaser's Investment in whole to the Bank Investors pursuant to this Section
13.5. In addition, if at any time on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date
the Purchaser elects to give notice to the Transferor of a Reinvestment
Termination Date, the Transferor hereby requests and directs that the Purchaser
assign its interest in the Aggregate Purchaser's Investment in whole to the Bank
68
69
Investors pursuant to this Section 13.5 and the Transferor hereby agrees to pay
the amounts described in Section 13.6(d) below. Upon any such election by the
Purchaser or any such request by the Transferor, the Purchaser shall make such
assignment to the Bank Investors and the Bank Investors shall thereupon be
deemed to have accepted such assignment and shall assume all of the Purchaser's
obligations hereunder. In connection with any assignment from the Purchaser to
the Bank Investors pursuant to this Section 13.5, each Bank Investor shall, by
the close of business (New York time) on the date of such notice of assignment,
pay to the Purchaser (in immediately available funds) an amount equal to its
Assignment Amount (it being understood that notwithstanding the foregoing
assignment of the Aggregate Purchasers Investment, the Bank Investors, as
assignees, continue to be obligated to fund Advances under Section 1.3 in
accordance with the terms thereof and shall not have the right to elect the
commencement of the amortization of the Purchasers Investment pursuant to the
definition of "Reinvestment Termination Date" notwithstanding that the
Purchaser had such right). Upon any such assignment, the amount set forth on the
signature pages hereto next to each bank Investor's name shall be deemed to be
the final Commitment amount with respect to such Bank Investor. Upon any
assignment by the Purchaser to the Bank Investors contemplated hereunder, the
Purchaser shall cease to make any additional Purchases hereunder.
(b) Assignment. No Bank Investor may assign all or a
portion of its interest in the Purchaser's Investment, the Receivables, and
Collections, Related Security and Proceeds with respect thereto and its rights
and obligations hereunder to any Person unless approved in writing by the
Transferor, the Purchaser and the Agent. In the case of an assignment by a Bank
Investor to another Person, the assignor shall deliver to the assignee(s) an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Schedule
13.5(b) attached hereto, duly executed, assigning to the assignee a pro rata
interest in the Purchaser's Investment, the Receivables, and Collections,
Related Security and Proceeds with respect thereto and the assignor's rights and
obligations hereunder and the assignor shall promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the
assignee may reasonably request, in order to protect, or more fully evidence the
assignee's right, title and interest in and to such interest and to enable the
Agent, on behalf of such assignee, to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder
and under the other Agreement Documents to which such assignor is or,
immediately prior to such assignment, was a party. Upon any such assignment, (i)
the assignee shall have all of the rights and obligations of the assignor
hereunder and under the other Agreement Documents to which such assignor is or,
immediately prior to such assignment, was a
69
70
party with respect to such interest for all purposes of this Agreement and under
the other Agreement Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to
such assignment, was a party (it being understood that the Bank Investors, as
assignees, shall (x) be obligated to fund Purchases under Section 1.3(c) in
accordance with the terms thereof, notwithstanding that the Purchaser was not so
obligated and (y) not have the right to elect the commencement of the
amortization of the Purchaser's Investment pursuant to the definition of
'Reinvestment Termination Date', notwithstanding that the Purchaser had such
right) and (ii) the assignor shall relinquish its rights with respect to such
interest for all purposes of this Agreement and under the other Agreement
Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment,
was a party. No such assignment shall be effective unless a fully executed copy
of the related Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be delivered to the
Agent and the Transferor. All costs and expenses of the Agent and the assignor
and assignee incurred in connection with any assignment hereunder shall be borne
by the Transferor and not by the assignor or any such assignee. No Bank Investor
shall assign any portion of its Commitment hereunder without also simultaneously
assigning an equal portion of its interest in the Liquidity Provider Agreement.
(c) Effects of Assignment. By executing and delivering an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor and assignee thereunder
confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the
assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in
connection with this Agreement, the other Agreement Documents or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value or this
Agreement, the other Agreement Documents or any such other instrument or
document; (ii) the assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Transferor or the
Agent or the performance or observance by the Transferor or the Agent of any of
their respective obligations under this Agreement, the other Agreement Documents
or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, and such other
instruments, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption
Agreement and to purchase such interest; (iv) such assignee will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent, or any of its Affiliates, or the assignor
70
71
and based on such agreements, documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Agreement Documents; (v)
such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Agreement
Documents and any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or
thereto as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and to enforce its
respective rights and interests in and under this Agreement, the other Agreement
Documents, the Receivables, and the Contracts; (vi) such assignee agrees that it
will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the
terms of this Agreement and the other Agreement Documents are required to be
performed by it as the assignee of the assignor; and (vii) such assignee agrees
that it will not institute against the Purchaser any proceeding of the type
referred to in Section 15.6 prior to the date which is one year and one day
after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper issued by the Purchaser.
(d) The Transferor's Obligation to Pay Certain Amounts;
Additional Assignment Amount. The Transferor shall pay to the Agent, for the
account of the Purchaser, in connection with any assignment by the Purchaser to
the Bank Investors pursuant to Section 13.5, an aggregate amount equal to the
Discount Factor to accrue through the end of each outstanding Yield Period plus
all other Aggregate Unpaids (other than the Aggregate Purchaser's Investment).
To the extent that such Discount Factor relates to interest or discount on
Related Commercial Paper, if the Transferor fails to make payment of such
amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by the Purchaser to the Bank
Investors, such amount shall be paid by the Bank Investors (in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata portion) to the Purchaser as additional consideration
for the interests assigned to the Bank Investors and the amount of the
"Aggregate Purchaser's Investment" hereunder held by the Bank Investors shall be
increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by the Bank
Investors.
(e) Downgrade of Bank Investor. If at any time prior to
any assignment by the Purchaser to the Bank Investors as contemplated pursuant
to this Section 13.5, the short term debt rating of any Bank Investor shall be
"A-2" or "P-2" from Standard & Poor's or Xxxxx'x, respectively, with negative
credit implications, such Bank Investor, upon request of the Agent, shall,
within 30 days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another financial institution (which institution's short term debt shall be
rated at least "A-2" and "P-2" from Standard & Poor's and Xxxxx'x, respectively,
and which shall not be so rated with negative credit
71
72
implications). If the short term debt rating of a Bank Investor shall be "A-3"
or "P-3", or lower, from Standard & Poor's or Xxxxx'x, respectively (or such
rating shall have been withdrawn by Standard & Poor's or Xxxxx'x), such Bank
Investor, upon request of the Agent, shall, within five (5) Business Days of
such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial
institution (which institution's short term debt shall be rated at least "A-2"
and "P-2" from Standard & Poor's and Xxxxx'x, respectively, and which shall
not be so rated with negative credit implications). In either such case, if any
such Bank Investor shall not have assigned its rights and obligations under this
Agreement within the applicable time period described above, the Purchaser shall
have the right to require such Bank Investor to accept the assignment of such
Bank Investor's Pro Rata portion of the Pool Balance; such assignment shall
occur in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 13.5(d). Such
Bank Investor shall be obligated to pay to the Purchaser, in connection with
such assignment, in addition to the Pro Rata portion of the Aggregate
Purchaser's Investment, an amount equal to the interest component of the
outstanding Commercial Paper Notes issued to fund the portion of the Aggregate
Purchaser's Investment being assigned to such Bank Investor, as reasonably
determined by the Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, upon any such assignment to a downgraded Bank Investor as contemplated
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate available amount
of the Facility Limit, solely as it relates to new Purchases by the Purchaser,
shall be reduced by the amount of unused Commitment of such downgraded Bank
Investor; it being understood and agreed, that nothing in this sentence or the
two preceding sentences shall affect or diminish in any way any such downgraded
Bank Investor's Commitment to the Transferor or such downgraded Bank Investor's
other obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Agreement
Documents.
(f) Administration of Agreement after Assignment. After
any assignment by the Purchaser to the Bank Investors pursuant to this Section
13.5 (and the payment of all amounts owing to the Purchaser in connection
therewith), all rights of the Agent set forth herein shall be deemed to be
afforded to the Agent on behalf of the Bank Investors instead of the Purchaser.
In the event that the aggregate of the Assignment Amounts paid by the Bank
Investors pursuant to Section 13.5(a) is less than the Aggregate Purchaser's
Investments on the date of such assignment, then to the extent payments made
hereunder in respect of the Aggregate Purchaser's Investments exceed the
aggregate of the Assignment Amounts, such excess shall be remitted by the Agent
to Bank of America, or such other person acting as collateral agent in respect
of the Purchaser's Commercial Paper Note program.
72
73
SECTION 13.6. Restrictions on Assignments. Except as otherwise
contemplated by Section 13.5, neither the Transferor nor the Purchaser may
assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the Agent, and the Purchaser may not assign any Undivided Interest
(or portion thereof) to any Person without the prior written consent of the
Transferor; provided, however, that:
(a) Enterprise may assign or grant a security interest
in, any Undivided Interest (or portion thereof) owned by it to Bank of America,
the Enterprise Liquidity Provider or the Enterprise Credit Support Provider (or
any successor thereof by merger, consolidation or otherwise), any Affiliate of
Enterprise (including any securitization vehicle managed by Bank of America) or
such Enterprise Liquidity Provider or Enterprise Credit Support Provider (which
may then assign any such Undivided Interest (or portion thereof) so assigned or
any interest therein to such party or parties as it may choose); and without
limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser may, from time to time, with prior or

Indemnified Party shall have notice of any attempt to impose or collect any tax
or governmental fee or charge for which indemnification will be sought from the
Transferor under Section 14.1(a)(viii), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt
and timely notice of such attempt to the Transferor and the Transferor shall
have the right, at its expense, to conduct or participate in any proceedings
resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection of any such tax,
governmental fee or charge. Indemnification hereunder shall be in an amount
necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax
consequences to the Indemnified Party of the payment of any of the aforesaid
taxes and the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder or of any refund of
any such tax previously indemnified hereunder, including the effect of such tax
or refund on the amount of tax measured by net income or profits which is or was
payable by the Indemnified Party.
SECTION 14.3. Contribution. If for any reason the
indemnification provided in Section 14.1 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party
or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Transferor
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Transferor on the other hand but also
the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

Aggregate Purchaser's Investment or rate of interest to accrue thereon or any

right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Bank of

held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Bank of America, Enterprise
Liquidity Provider or Enterprise Credit Support Provider to or for the credit or
the account of the Transferor, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement,
to the payment of any amounts owed by the Transferor hereunder to the Agent, any
Affected Party, any Indemnified Party or the Purchaser, any Bank Investor or
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of Bank of
America, Enterprise Liquidity Provider or Enterprise Credit Support Provider
shall, through the exercise of such setoff or otherwise, obtain payment with

the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force
and effect until such time, after the Commitment Termination Date, as all
Undivided Interests shall have been reduced to zero. The rights and remedies
with respect to any breach of any representa-

long as any Commercial Paper Notes issued by the Purchaser shall be outstanding
or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on

(x) the related Purchaser's Investment at such time, times

of the definition of "Servicer's Fee", or (B) if Servicer's Fee is
calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of such definition, the percentage
per annum determined for each day by dividing the amount of the
Servicer's Fee accrued for such day by the related Purchaser's
Investment at the close of business on such day, multiplying the
quotient by 360 and expressing the product as a percentage, times
(z) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days

reduction in Enterprise's Investment or such combination or division of one or
more Undivided Interests.
The undersigned hereby certifies on and as of the date of each Purchase
