which with the passage of time or notice would be an Event of Termination, any
available balance held in the Collected Reserve shall be released twice weekly
to the Customer or to any third party, at the Customer’s written direction to

balance, such balance shall be due and payable and the Customer shall
immediately pay to WFBC the amount of such deficit plus accrued interest on such
deficit balance. Interest shall accrue on any deficit balance at the
annual rate of eighteen percent (18%), calculated on a daily basis, not to
exceed the applicable legal limit, until such deficit is paid in
full.

to the Account Debtor or apply such unidentified payment pursuant to the terms
hereof upon proper identification and documentation and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to notify the Customer thereof (provided that WFBC’s failure
to do so shall not be a breach of this Agreement). In the event WFBC

identified as being the property of the Customer, such payment will be credited
to the Collected Reserve Account and released in accordance with this
Agreement.

WFBC. The Customer shall pay a misdirected payment fee in the amount of fifteen
percent (15%) of the amount of any payment on account of a Purchased Account
which has been received by the Customer and not delivered in kind to WFBC on the
next Business Day following the date of receipt by the Customer. Further,

interest granted herein (if necessary) or otherwise perfect its interest in the
Collateral and exercise any and all rights it has under this Agreement, any
Related Document or otherwise to collect the amounts due.

creditworthiness of any such third party.

counsel) arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any Related
Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, any Purchased
Account, any Related Rights, any Collateral, any action taken or omitted by any
of the Indemnitees, any actions to be performed by the Customer hereunder or

against any such Indemnitee, the purchase of Accounts, the use or intended use
of the proceeds of the payments made to the Customer, or any of the following
(collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”):

representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by the Customer (or any of
the Customer’s officers) in or in connection with this Agreement or any Related
Document, which was incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made
or delivered;
(ii) the
failure of the Customer to perform or observe any of its covenants, duties or
obligations hereunder or under any of the Related Documents;

nonconformity thereof with any applicable law, rule, regulation, order,
injunction, award or decree;

return or transfer by WFBC to the Customer of any payments received by WFBC
pursuant hereto to which WFBC is entitled pursuant to the terms of this

dilution, claims, disputes, damages, offsets, penalties, losses or defenses
arising from any Purchased Account or Related Rights or any claims, disputes,
offsets or defenses in connection with any merchandise or services which are the

injury or property damage suit (provided, however, that nothing contained in
this subsection shall limit the liability of the Customer or limit the recourse
of WFBC to the Customer for any amounts otherwise specifically provided to be
paid by the Customer hereunder);
(vii)
any failure of (a) any agreement with an Account Debtor to contain

certified.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Customer shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee
for (A) any Indemnified Liability caused directly by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) any overall net income taxes
imposed on such Indemnitee by the jurisdiction under the law of which such
Indemnitee is organized or otherwise considered doing business or any political
subdivision thereof.
(b) If
any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the
foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee’s request, the
Customer and counsel, designated by the Customer and satisfactory to the

and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Customer’s cost and
expense. Each Indemnitee will use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If

be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Customer
shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable
law.

obligations of the Customer under this Section 11.07 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the other obligations of the
