2.    Purchase and Sale.

3

of principal under each Bond until the Closing Date, shall be paid to the Seller upon receipt thereof under the Servicing Agreement.

Payment for the Bonds shall be made on or before December 31, 1985, by wire transfer in immediately available funds for deposit to the escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) with the Escrow Agent, Birmingham, Alabama, to be received by the Escrow Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., C.S.T., on the Closing Date.

Delivery of the Bonds is hereby made by Seller to the Escrow Agent, with the exception of the last-mentioned Bond on Exhibit A (in the amount of $2,100,000) which Seller is purchasing on December 31, 1985. Seller shall hold said Bond as bailee for the Escrow Agent and shall deliver the same to the Escrow Agent by no later than January 6, 1986. The disbursement of the Bond Price and delivery of the Bonds shall be made and governed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The date of such delivery and payment to the Escrow Agent is herein called the “Closing Date.”

Seller shall, following the Closing Date, cause, at Seller’s expense, all the Bond Documents (which are customarily assigned upon assignment of the Bond secured hereby) to be assigned of record to the Bank and all Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Bank in accordance with applicable laws, (Seller shall not be liable, however, for any New York transfer taxes respecting the Bonds). Seller represents that all the actions specified in the previous sentence can be accomplished in a reasonable period of time after the Closing Date and Seller agrees to accomplish all of the same with due diligence. Seller further agrees, at the expense of Seller, to execute and deliver such additional instruments and documents as may reasonably be requested by the Bank in order to effectuate such transfers. Seller shall receive the Bond Price for the account of the respective Subsidiaries.

The Holder may at the time during the term of this Agreement sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Bond, without the necessity of obtaining the consent of, or of giving notice to, the Seller, or any other party (except as specified in Sections 3 and 6 herein), and any purchaser or transferee of any Bond, shall succeed to and be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the Holder hereunder with respect to each Bond tranferred, and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions, and be required to comply with all the provisions, of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Provided, however, that Seller shall not have any obligation to repurchase any Bonds (pursuant to Section 4) held by any Holder having a net worth of less than $100 million. Seller’s obligations under Section 4 shall not be altered or diminished, however, by any pledge, hypothecation, other secured transaction with respect to any Bond, or by the sale by the Holder of any participation interest in any Bond (so long as the Holder remains the Holder).

This Agreement may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of separately or apart from any of the Bonds.

3.    Agreement of Seller and Holder.  Upon any sale or transfer of the Bonds by any Holder, the Holder and Seller agree to execute and attach a Put Option and Servicing Agreement to each Bond, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in such form as, in the opinion of counsel for Seller and counsel for Holder, will obligate such Holder to the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the Bonds held by such Holder. Holder and Seller agree to execute any further instruments, agreements, or other documents reasonably required by either to effectuate and/or perfect the foregoing agreements. With respect to each Bond transferred by any Holder, Seller shall be provided notice of the date of transfer, name, address, and federal income tax identification number of each transferee.

4.    Put Option Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions, and upon compliance with the requirements for the giving of notice and manner of delivery set forth herein, the Holder of each Bond is hereby granted the right to tender any of the Bonds to the Seller, or its duly appointed agent for delivery on the Repurchase Date, and to receive payment therefor in the amount of the Strike Price, on any one or more of the following events (referred to as “Events of Repurchase”):

4

		
	(a)
	Default Put.  With respect to any Bond, the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 1(i); and/or, with respect to all Bonds, a default by Seller under Section 13(c) [ referred to collectively as the “Default Put” or a “Put” ]; or

		
	(b)
	Taxability Put.  The occurrence of a Determination of Taxability with respect to the Bond [ referred to as a “Taxability Put” or a “Put” ].

Provided, however, that the Taxability Put and the Default Put shall expire, with respect to each Bond, at the earlier of (i) the Put Expiration Date with respect to such Bond, or (ii) the day 30 days after receipt by Holder of a written notice from Seller of any Event of Default or Determination of Taxability (provided Holder has not given a Put Notice within said 30-day period).

Provided further, that upon receipt of such assurances as are reasonably required by the Holder that no 90-Day Payments [ as described in Section 1(t)(iv) ] have been determined by any court of competent jurisdiction as being preferential payments (within the meaning of applicable bankruptcy laws) or that the applicable time periods have expired for the assertion of any such preference, the Holder shall, upon demand, repay to Seller the full amount of any 90-Day Payment together with interest thereon at an annual interest rate equal to the Bank’s publicly announced rate for 90-day certificates of deposits as the same may have fluctuated from the Repurchase Date to the date of repayment of the 90-Day Payment.

5.    Notice and Delivery by Bank.  The Holder shall notify the Seller of its exercise of a Put Option Agreement in writing and shall specify the following with respect to each Put:

(i)    in case of a Default Put, the nature of the Event of Default;

(ii)    in case of a Taxability Put, the basis for the Determination of Taxability;

(iii)    for each Bond to be Put, the Repurchase Date, Strike Price and a description of the Bond.

Each such notice shall be referred to as a “Put Notice.” On the Repurchase Date, the Holder shall, simultaneously with the payment by the Seller to the Holder of the Strike Price for the Bond, deliver each such Bond and Bond Documents to the Seller at Bank’s notice address below, or at such other location in the City of New York as the Seller may designate in writing by a notice delivered to the Holder not less than five (5) business days prior to such Repurchase Date. Payment of the amount due pursuant to Section 4 hereof to the Holder by the Seller shall be made in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as the Holder shall designate to the Seller in writing not less than five (5) business days prior to such Repurchase Date.

Following the receipt by the Holder of the Strike Price, the Holder shall at its expense, cause all the Bond Documents assigned to the Bank by the Seller to be assigned of record to the Seller and cause all Bonds to be registered in the name of the Seller in accordance with applicable laws. The Holder agrees to accomplish all of the actions specified in the previous sentence with due diligence. The Holder further agrees, at the expense of the Holder, to execute and deliver such additional instruments and documents as may reasonably be requested by the Seller in order to effectuate such transfer.

6.    Letter of Credit.  Concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds to the Bank, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Bank the Letter of Credit, dated not later than the date hereof, issued by AmSouth, for the account of the Seller and for the benefit of the Bank. The Letter of Credit shall not expire prior to a date one year following the date hereof. The Letter of Credit shall by in a stated amount (the “Required Stated Amount”) of the lesser of (a) $15,000,000 or (b) an amount equal to forty percent (40%) times the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Bonds for which Put Option Agreements are in effect on each anniversary date of this Agreement, based upon the scheduled aggregate principal balance of the Bonds as of such anniversary date. Not later than sixty (60) day prior to each anniversary date hereof, the Seller shall cause an acceptable amendment to the Letter of Credit to be delivered to the Bank, which shall be in a face amount 

5

at least equal to the Required Stated Amount, and which shall extend the Letter of Credit for a period of one year, initially, from the anniversary date hereof, and thereafter, one year from each extended anniversary date of the Letter of Credit, except the last extension, which shall be from December 30, 1995, to June 1, 1996.

Drawings under the Letter of Credit may be made solely by the Bank (and not by any other Holder of all the Bonds or any of the Bonds). 

The Bank agrees that promptly after any drawing under the Letter of Credit made as a result of the failure of Seller to perform any Put Option Agreement, Bank will deliver to AmSouth the Bond Documents and Bonds described in the corresponding Put Notice; and, shall cause, at Bank’s expense, all the Bond Documents assigned to the Bank by Seller to be assigned of record to AmSouth and all Bonds shall be registered in the name of AmSouth in accordance with applicable laws. The Bank agrees to accomplish the actions specified in the previous sentence with due diligence. The Bank further agrees to execute and deliver such additional instruments and documents as may reasonably be requested by AmSouth in order to effectuate such transfer.

Seller agrees that after any drawing by the Bank under the Letter of Credit made as a result of the failure of the Bank to receive an acceptable amendment to the Letter of Credit, as required by this Section, the funds received by the Bank shall be held by the Bank as collateral for all obligations of Seller under this agreement, and Seller hereby pledges and assigns all of its interest in such funds to the Bank for such purpose. The Bank shall keep any such reserves held by it under this Section continuously invested in direct obligations of, or obligations the payment of which is guaranteed by, the United States of America, maturing at a date being no later than the date of termination of this agreement as set forth hereinbelow. The Bank shall not be responsible for any market loss that may occur by reason of any investment made in accordance with the next preceding sentence. All interest on such reserve shall be payable as and when received by the Bank over to the Seller. The Bank shall have no obligation to pay any such funds to the Seller until the termination of this agreement and the satisfaction of all of the obligations of Seller to the Bank hereunder, with the exception of interest as aforesaid.

7.    Obligations of Seller Unconditional.  The obligations of the Seller under Section 4 hereof shall be absolute and unconditional, shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement shall have terminated in accordance with Section 9 hereof, and shall not be affected, modified or impaired by the happening from time to time of any event, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) the compromise, settlement, release or termination of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Holder under the Documents, as applicable; (ii) the failure to give notice to the Seller of the occurrence of an event of default under Section 13; (iii) the waiver of the payment, performance or observance by the Holder, or the Seller of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of any of them contained in the Documents; (iv) the extension of the time for payment of any amounts due under the Documents, or the time for performance of any other obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of the Documents, or any extension or renewal thereof; (v) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any obligation, covenant or agreement set forth in the Documents; (vi) the taking or the omission of any of the actions referred to in the Documents; (vii) any failure, omission, delay or breach on the part of the Holder, or the Holders from time to time of the Bonds described in and attached hereto; (viii) voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Seller, the Holder, AmSouth or the Escrow Agent, or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity of this Agreement in any such proceeding; (ix) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge of the Seller from the performance or observance of any other obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement by operation of law; and (x) the default by or failure of the Holder fully to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, and intent of this Section that the obligation of the Seller shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired 

6

or waived except by repurchase of the Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the payments made therefor.

10

	(d)

The provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 13 are subject to the following limitation: if by reason of force majeure the Seller or Holder is unable in whole or in part to carry out any of its agreements contained herein (other than obligations under the Servicing Agreement or to repurchase the Bonds), the Seller or Holder shall not be deemed to be in default during the continuance of such inability. The term “force majeure” as used herein shall mean, without limitation, the following: acts of god; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders or restraints of any kind of the government of the United States of America or the States of New York, Alabama, or Delaware or of any of their department, agencies or officials, or of any civil or military authority; insurrections; riots; landslides; earthquakes; fire; storms; droughts; floods; explosions; breakage or accident to machinery, transmission pipes or canals; and, any other cause or event not reasonably within the control of the Seller or Holder. The Seller and Holder agree, however, to remedy with all reasonable dispatch the cause or causes preventing the Seller and Holder from carrying out their agreement; provided, however, that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Seller or Holder, and the Seller or Holder shall not be required to make settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such course is in the sole judgment of the Seller or Holder unfavorable to the Seller or Holder.

14.    Remedies on Default.  Whenever any default hereunder shall have happened and be continuing, the non-defaulting party or parties may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desireable to collect the amounts then due or to enforce the performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant under this Agreement.

11

Without limiting the foregoing, if any material breach exists, as of the date of this agreement, of any representations made by Seller under Sections 10(h) or 10(l), and the Bank suffers a loss in connection with a Bond with respect to which such a material misrepresentation existed as of the date hereof, Bank shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other damages or relief available under law or this Agreement (but without duplication), an amount equal to the unamortized portion of the Premium stated in Exhibit A (with respect to each Bond subject to such a breach), calculated from the date of discovery by the Bank of such breach to the First Call Date, prorated based upon an equal amortization of the Premium from the Closing Date to the First Call Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph, however, no damages shall be recoverable by Bank with respect to any material breach described in the preceding sentence unless demand is made therefor by Bank on or before December 30, 1987, time being of the essence.

15.     No Remedy Exclusive.  No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Seller or the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to ever other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

16.    Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses.  In the event any party should default under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the non-defaulting parties should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of payments required hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant on the part of the defaulting party herein contained, the defaulting party shall, on demand therefor, pay, to the extent permitted by law, to the non-defaulting parties the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by such non-defaulting parties.

17.    No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver.  In the event any obligation, agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement should be breached by any party and thereafter waived by any other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.

18.    Subsidiaries.  The Subsidiaries have joined in this Agreement solely for the purpose of transferring the Bonds and Bond Documents owned by each, and shall have no liability hereunder other tan due to a breach of the obligations of Subsidiaries under Section 2.

WHEREAS, each such Subsidiary has sold to NatWest USA each of the Bonds owned by such Subsidiary for the Bond Price which is specified adjacent to the listing of such Bond on Exhibit A hereto and has assigned to NatWest USA its interest in all Bond Documents;

WHEREAS, NatWest USA has the rights of a holder or owner of each Bond to have the Bonds registered and to have the related Bond Documents transferred of record (to the extent so transferable of record);

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that the Bond Price received by the Subsidiaries for the Bonds shall be held in escrow pending registration of the Bonds and also transfer of record of the related Bond Documents; and

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to serve as escrow agent;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Contemporaneously herewith Seller and the Subsidiaries have delivered to the Escrow Agent each Bond listed on Exhibit A hereto and the Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of the Bonds (except for the last-mentioned Bond on Exhibit A hereto, which shall be delivered pursuant to Section 2 of the Bond Purchase Agreement).

2.    Effectuation of Registration of Bonds and Transfer of Bond Documents.

(ii)    such Bond is delivered, re-registered, to the Escrow Agent

[ the transfer and delivery described in (i) and (ii) being referred to as a “Completed Transfer” with respect to each Bond ],

the Escrow Agent shall in turn deliver such Bond to NatWest USA and shall pay a portion of the funds in escrow to Seller in accordance with the provisions of the next sentence hereof. The Escrow Agent shall value the Escrow Fund as of a time immediately preceding each payment for each Bond out of the Escrow Fund (the “Time of Valuation”) and as and when immediately available funds become available in the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the value of the Escrow Fund as of the corresponding Time of Valuation by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Bond Price shown on Exhibit A for such Bond and the denominator of which is the bond Price for all Bonds less the Bond Price with respect to all Bonds which Seller has previously effected a Completed Transfer (and with respect to which Seller has received payment).

Seller agrees that, if any losses are sustained resulting from investment of any portion of the Escrow Funds according to the provisions of this agreement, that Seller will receive such funds as are available for disbursement from the Escrow Fund (as a result of losses), in accordance with the formula described in the preceding paragraph.

4.    Investment of Escrow Funds.  So long as the Escrow Agent shall hold any funds in the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall invest such funds in such Authorized Investments as Seller may designate in writing to the Escrow Agent. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Authorized Investments” shall mean (i) direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) any repurchase agreement or reverse repurchase agreement with any bank which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and that has capital and surplus of not less than $100 million, or with any primary government bond dealer reporting to and trading with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, provided that such agreement is secured by direct obligations of the United States of America, (iii) shares of the Federated U.S. Government short-term fund, and (iv) fully collateralized Certificates of Deposit of any bank which is a member of the FDIC and which has capital and surplus of not less than $100 million. 

5.    Acceptance of Escrow Agency.  The Escrow Agent accepts the agency hereby created, subject to the following terms and conditions.

		
	(a)
	The Escrow Agent is not a party to and is not bound by any agreement between any one or more of the parties hereto, except this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated herein.

		
	(b)
	The duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are only such as are herein specifically provided, being purely ministerial in nature, and it shall have no responsibility in respect of any of the cash, property or items deposited with it in the Escrow Fund other than faithfully to follow the instructions herein contained.

		
	(c)
	The Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depositary. All deposits are warranted by the party making the deposit to be valid deposits. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for or liable in any manner whatever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness and validity of any security, document, or other item, which is a part of the Escrow Fund or for any claim or action by any person, firm, corporation or trustee concerning the right or power of any depositor to make any transfer or the validity of the transfer of any part of the Escrow Fund to the Escrow Agent.

		
	(d)
	The Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine.

		
	(e)
	The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except its own negligence or misconduct.

		
	(f)
	The Escrow Agent is authorized to and may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel in the event any dispute, conflict or question arises as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed from the Escrow Fund held by it for all costs so incurred and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected for acting in good faith in accordance with the written opinion and instructions of such counsel. Copies of all such opinions shall be made available to the other parties hereto upon request.

		
	(g)
	The Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, defend itself in any legal proceedings which may be instituted against it or it may, but shall not be required to, institute legal proceedings in respect of the Escrow Fund, or any part thereof. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless against the cost and expense of any such defense or action.

		
	(h)
	The Escrow Agent shall make payment to or for, or deliver documents to, any party only if in its judgment such payment or delivery may be made under the terms of this Agreement without its incurring any liability. If conflicting demands not expressly provided for in this Agreement are made or notices served upon the Escrow Agent with respect to its action or omission under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Escrow Agent shall have the absolute right to elect to do either or both of the following: (i) withhold and stop all future actions or omissions on its part under this Agreement, or (ii) file a suit in interpleader or for instructions or for a declaratory judgment for other relief and obtain an order from the proper court requiring the parties to litigate in such court their conflicting claims and demands. In the event any such action is taken, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged from all obligations to perform any duties or obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement unless and until otherwise ordered by the court; and the parties jointly and severally agree that the Escrow Fund may be used to pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees expended or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection therewith and promise to pay all such amounts and agree that the costs in fact incurred shall be fixed by the Escrow Agent and a judgment thereof shall be rendered by the Court in such suit. If suit is filed, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs in connection with the same. All parties hereby consent, in event of any interpleading of any Escrow Fund, to the investing of such funds in one or more Authorized Investments.

6.    Sale of Escrow Fund.  In the event that a sale of any or all of the Escrow Fund is necessary or required under the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent agrees to use its best efforts to effect such a sale at a reasonable price. The parties hereto agree that the acceptance by the Escrow Agent of any offer or offers to purchase any or all of the Escrow Fund shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the exercise of its judgment in accepting or rejecting any sale or sales consideration. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any failure to receive any offer or offers from the public, or from the parties hereto, to purchase all or such part of the Escrow Fund as may be offered for sale by the Escrow Agent provided that the Escrow Agent shall have made reasonable efforts to obtain such an offer or offers. All expenses and obligations incurred in connection with any sale of any or all of the Escrow 

Fund shall be charged against the proceeds and the surplus, if any, shall be delivered to the distributes under this Agreement.

7.    Securing Interest of Escrow Agent.  The parties hereto grant to the Escrow Agent a security interest in and to all of the Escrow Fund and all proceeds, including the right of setoff, to secure it against any and all costs, expenses and fees arising hereunder.

8.    Bond Documents.  With respect to each Bond delivered to NatWest USA by Escrow Agent, Seller shall deliver to NatWest USA originals or copies, as requested by NatWest USA, of all Bond Documents requested by NatWest USA.

9.    Notices.
