(ii) for any other Obligor and its Affiliates, considered as if they were one and the same Obligor, 4.2% of Eligible Receivables, or such other amount (a “Special Concentration Limit”) for such Obligor and its Affiliates as may be designated by the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third from time to time; provided that any Agent, the Required Financial Institutions or Fifth Third may, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to Seller, cancel any Special Concentration Limit.
“Dilution Reserve” means, on any date, the greater of (i) 5% of the Net Receivables Balance, and (ii) the amount determined pursuant to the following formula:

DS |
= | the Dilution Spike; | ||
DR |
= | the Dilution Ratio; | ||
DHR |
= | the Dilution Horizon Ratio; and | ||
NRB |

“Dilutions” means, at any time before or after the date of the Agreement, the sum (without duplication) of (a) the aggregate amount of reductions or cancellations described in clause (i) of the definition of “Deemed Collections”, plus (b) the positive difference, if any, between the total credits taken against the accrual accounts during the current month and the balance of the accrual accounts at the beginning of the current month pursuant to clause (A) of the proviso at the end of the definition of “Eligible Receivables,” plus (c) any credits that are granted for Receivables originated prior to an increase to the accrual accounts referenced in clause (A) of the proviso at the end of the definition of Eligible Receivables.
“Eligible Receivable” means, at any time, a Receivable:
(i) the Obligor of which (A) is not an Affiliate of any of the parties hereto, and (B) is not (1) the State of Florida and all governmental subdivisions and agencies thereof, or (2) any other government or a governmental subdivision or agency other than one described in clause (i) of the definition of “Concentration Limit”,
(ii) the Obligor of which is not the Obligor of (A) any Charged-Off Receivable (other than as described in clause (v) of the definition of Charge-Off Receivable) or (B) Receivables more than 25% of which are Delinquent Receivables; provided, however, that there will be excluded from Delinquent Receivables for purposes of this clause (ii) Receivables owing from the 4 largest Obligors which are more than 60 days past the original Invoice date therefor solely because of a bona fide dispute, as determined by the Servicer with the consent of the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third,
(iii) which is not a Charged-Off Receivable, a Defaulted Receivable or a Delinquent Receivable,
(iv) which by its terms is due and payable within 60 days of the original billing date therefor and has not had its payment terms extended,
(v) which is either evidenced by an Invoice in substantially the form of one of the form contracts set forth on Exhibit IX hereto or otherwise approved by the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third in writing, or if such Receivables an Unbilled Receivable, has not been booked as an asset of the applicable Originator (without giving effect to any sale under the Transaction Documents) for more than 30 days,
2
(vi) which arises under a Contract: (A) which by its terms or by virtue of Section 9-404, 9-405 or 9-406 of the UCC, does not require the Obligor under such Contract to consent to the transfer, sale or assignment of the rights to payment thereunder, (B) which, in the case of Contracts with the five largest Obligors of either Originator, does not contain a confidentiality provision that purports to restrict the ability of any Purchaser to exercise its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its right to review the applicable Invoice and the billing provisions of such Contract unless such confidentiality provision has been waived, and (C) which, together with such Receivable, is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms,
(vii) which arises under a Contract and, unless such Receivable is an Unbilled Receivable, under an Invoice, that contains an obligation to pay a specified sum of money, contingent only upon the sale of goods or the provision of services by the applicable Originator,
(viii) which, together with each Contract and Invoice related thereto, does not contravene any law, rule or regulation applicable thereto (including, without limitation, any law, rule and regulation relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy),
(ix) which satisfies all applicable requirements of the applicable Credit and Collection Policy and was generated in the ordinary course of the applicable Originator’s business,
(x) which, if such Receivable is an Installment Receivable, relates to services which have been fully performed and, if applicable, to goods which have been sold and fully shipped,
(xi) which arises solely from the sale of goods, the license of proprietary software or the provision of services to the related Obligor by an Originator, and not by any other Person (in whole or in part),
(xii) as to which the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third has not notified Seller that the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third has determined that such Receivable or class of Receivables is not acceptable as an Eligible Receivable, including, without limitation, because such Receivable arises under a Contract or an Invoice that is not acceptable to the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, and
(xiii) which is not subject to any right of rescission or offset, any counterclaim or other defense (including defenses arising out of violations of usury laws) of the applicable Obligor against the applicable Originator, or any other Adverse Claim, and the Obligor thereon holds no right as against such Originator to cause such Originator to repurchase goods the sale of which gave rise to such receivable (except with respect to sale discounts effected pursuant to the Contract or Invoice, or defective goods returned in accordance with the terms of the Contract); provided, however, that amounts owed to
3
AT&T for telephone, internet and related services shall not be deemed an impermissible right of offset for purposes of this clause (xiii);
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from “Eligible Receivables” (A) (1) the greater of (i) $15,000,000 and (ii) the portion of any Receivable as to which a reserve has been taken or a contra account has been established in any general ledger account (including but not limited to account numbers 105202,105203, and 206124) related to accruals established for reasons related to contract negotiations and errors and omissions and (2) the portion of any Receivable as to which a Bonus Credit has been awarded (other than as specifically listed in clause (A)(1) of this proviso), and (B) an amount equal to payments received from Obligors which have not yet been identified to particular Invoices.
“Liquidity Termination Date” means December 19, 2004.
3. Absence of Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event. In order to induce the Falcon Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers to enter into this Amendment, the Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Falcon Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers that, both before and after giving effect to the amendments contained in Section 2 hereof, no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists and is continuing as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4 below).
4. Effective Date. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written (the “Effective Date”) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of (a) counterparts hereof duly executed by each of the parties hereto, and (b) an arrangement fee in immediately available funds in the amount separately agreed between the Agent and Seller.
5. Ratification. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects.
6. Reference to Agreement. From and after the Effective Date hereof, each reference in the Agreement to “this Agreement” or to “hereof”, “hereunder” or words of like import, and all references to the Agreement in any and all agreements, instruments, documents, notes, certificates and other writings of every kind and nature shall be deemed to mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

The Seller agrees to pay all costs, fees, and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, the Falcon Agent and the Purchasers) incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.
8. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF OHIO.
9. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
4
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
