Dated as of March 17, 2000
THIS IS A LOAN AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, among TRM INVENTORY FUNDING

corporation, individually ("TRM ATM") and as initial servicer (in such
capacity, the "SERVICER"), AUTOBAHN FUNDING COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("LENDER"), DG BANK DEUTSCHE GENOSSENSCHAFTSBANK AG, as
administrative agent for Lender (in such capacity, the "ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT"), and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association
("KEYBANK"), as liquidity agent for Liquidity Providers (in such capacity,
the "LIQUIDITY AGENT") and as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in
such capacity, the "COLLATERAL AGENT"). Unless otherwise indicated,
capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in APPENDIX A.
BACKGROUND
1. Borrower intends to borrow Loans from the Lender and sell
Certificates to the Lender. Borrower has requested Lender and Lender has
agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, to
make such Loans to and purchase the Certificates from Borrower from time to
time during the term of this Agreement, which Loans will be secured by a
security interest in all of the assets of Borrower.
2. The Servicer has agreed to undertake certain servicing
obligations for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Borrower as set forth
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
LOANS; CERTIFICATES
SECTION 1.01 COMMITMENTS TO LEND; LIMITS ON LENDER'S OBLIGATIONS.
Upon the terms and subject to ARTICLE 5 and the other conditions of this
Agreement, from time to time prior to the Termination Date, Borrower may
request that Lender make loans to Borrower on a revolving basis secured by a
Lien on all of the assets of Borrower (each, a "LOAN") and Lender shall make
such Loans; PROVIDED that (i) no Loan shall be made by Lender if, after
giving effect thereto, the sum of the Face Amount of all Commercial Paper
Notes issued by Lender with respect to the Transaction Documents plus the
aggregate principal or certificate balance of all Loans and Certificates
funded other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes would exceed
$30,000,000, except as such amount is increased from time to time with the
consent of the Administrator, the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity
Agent (the "FACILITY LIMIT"); (ii) no Loan shall be made by Lender if, after
giving effect thereto, the Letter of Credit Stated Amount does not at least
equal the Letter of Credit Required Amount, and (iii) each Borrowing made
pursuant to this SECTION 1.01 shall have an initial principal amount of at
least $250,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000, unless otherwise
approved by the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Agent.
SECTION 1.02 BORROWING PROCEDURES; PRINCIPAL AMOUNT.
(a) NOTICE OF BORROWING. Each Borrowing by Borrower shall be
made on a Business Day on notice from Borrower (or the Administrator on its
behalf) to the Administrative Agent received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day
preceding the date of such proposed Borrowing. Each such notice of a proposed
Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT 1.02 (each, a
"BORROWING NOTICE") and shall specify the amount of such Borrowing and the
date on which such Borrowing is to be made. Any Borrowing Request given by
Borrower pursuant to this SECTION 1.02 shall be irrevocable and binding on
Borrower. The Borrower shall not be permitted to make more than two
Borrowings during any single calendar week without the consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Agent.
(b) FUNDING OF BORROWING. On each Borrowing Date, upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE V, Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the
requested Borrowing in same day funds, and, after receipt by the
Administrative Agent of such funds, the Administrative Agent will deposit
such funds into one or more Disbursement Accounts specified by the Servicer;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of the initial Borrowing, the
Administrator shall be permitted to direct an amount equal to all cash in the
ATMs on the date of the initial Borrowing to be paid to an account specified
by the Administrator.
SECTION 1.03 SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority
continuing lien and security interest in all of the assets of Borrower
(including, without limitation, all of Borrower's cash and currency,
accounts, chattel paper, instruments, general intangibles, deposit accounts,
inventory, investment property, equipment, rights under SECTIONS 1.05 and
1.06 hereof and all other personal property of Borrower), whether now owned
or hereafter acquired, wherever located, and including proceeds of the
foregoing. Such lien and security interest shall secure all of Borrower's
obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the payments of
principal of, and interest on, the Note (and the Loans evidenced thereby).
SECTION 1.04 PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES. On the date of the first
Borrowing under SECTION 1.01, the Borrower shall sell to the Lender and the
Lender shall purchase from the Borrower Certificates with an initial
outstanding certificate balance of $891,000 for a purchase price equal to
such outstanding certificate balance. In addition, if the Facility Limit
hereunder is increased with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Liquidity Agent, the Borrower may sell additional Certificates to the Lender
on the first Borrowing Date following any such increase (provided that 1% of
any additional Certificates shall be sold to GSS Holdings, Inc.). Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the
outstanding principal balance of the Certificates purchased on the applicable
purchase date, and, after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such funds,
the Administrative Agent will deposit such funds into one or more
Disbursement Accounts specified by the Servicer.
SECTION 1.05 USE OF PROCEEDS; PROVISION OF CASH. The Borrower
covenants and agrees to use all proceeds of the Loans and sale of the
Certificates solely to provide Cash to TRM ATM for use by TRM ATM in the
ATM's. TRM ATM hereby covenants and agrees that the Borrower shall be the
sole and exclusive source of cash for its ATMs in the United States of
America and until the Final Payout Date hereunder it will not permit cash
from any other cash provider to be placed in such ATMs. TRM ATM hereby
appoints the Borrower as its cash provider and the Borrower hereby accepts
such appointment.
TRM ATM hereby acknowledges and agrees that all right, title and
interest in and to any and all Cash provided by the Borrower to TRM ATM or
its agents or subcontractors for use in the ATMs is and shall remain the sole
and separate property of the Borrower. TRM ATM expressly acknowledges that
the Cash supplied to the ATMs is not, and is not intended to be, a loan from
the Borrower to TRM ATM. If, however, notwithstanding the intent of the
Borrower and TRM ATM, the provision of Cash by Borrower to TRM ATM is
determined to be a loan by the Borrower to TRM ATM, then TRM ATM hereby
grants to the Borrower (which Borrower has assigned to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a security interest in all of TRM
ATM's right, title and interest in and to the Cash (whether in the form of
currency, credit balances in Networks or otherwise), now existing and
hereafter created, to secure a loan in an amount equal to the Outstanding
Facility Amount. TRM ATM shall acquire no right, title or interest in any
Cash or the proceeds thereof wherever located, including,
without limitation, Cash (whether in the form of currency, credit balances in
a Network or otherwise) in the possession of a Transportation Agent, any
other agent or subcontractor of TRM ATM, a Processing Agent or at an ATM, in
the Credit Balance Settlement Account or in any other account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision in the Transaction
Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that solely for federal,
state and local income tax purposes, for purposes of any other taxes imposed
upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income, and for franchise tax
purposes, Borrower shall be treated (i) as having made a loan or series of
loans to TRM ATM and (ii) as holding such Cash as security for the
obligations of TRM ATM (as borrower) to Borrower.
TRM ATM hereby acknowledges that the Borrower has granted to the
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a security interest in
all of the assets of the Borrower, including, without limitation, the Cash
and any credit balances in the Networks resulting from the dispensing of Cash
at ATMs. If TRM ATM has, or is declared or deemed to have, possession of any
Cash (whether in the form of currency, credit balances in a Networks or
otherwise), TRM ATM agrees that it shall hold all such Cash as custodian and
bailee on behalf of the Collateral Agent for purposes of perfecting the
Collateral Agent's security interest in such Cash.
SECTION 1.06 CASH PROVISION FEE. In consideration for the
Borrower agreeing to provide Cash to TRM ATM for use in the ATMs owned or
leased by TRM ATM, TRM ATM agrees to pay to the Borrower in arrears on each
Cash Provision Fee Payment Date the Cash Provision Fee which shall have
accrued through such date. TRM ATM covenants and agrees that it shall cause
all ATM Fees to be deposited by the applicable Processing Agent directly into
the ATM Fee Settlement Account.
In order to secure and provide for the payment of the TRM Secured
Obligations, TRM ATM hereby grants to the Borrower (which Borrower has
assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties), a
security interest in all of TRM ATM's right, title and interest in and to all
of the fees and charges earned or received in connection with all cash
withdrawal or other types of transactions initiated at ATMs (including,
without limitation, all Surcharge Fees, Interchange Fees, processing fees and
other fees and charges, whether in the form of a credit to the ATM Fee
Settlement Account, electronic funds, or otherwise ("ATM FEES")), whether now
owned or hereafter acquired or accrued. If an Event of Default or Servicer
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall
be permitted to retain (and TRM ATM hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to
retain and apply) all ATM Fees in the ATM Fee Settlement Account and withdraw
amounts as necessary to pay the TRM Secured Obligations as they become due
and payable in accordance with SECTION 3.03(d).
Prior to an Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default, TRM ATM
shall be permitted to withdraw ATM Fees from the ATM Fee Settlement Account
in its discretion.
ARTICLE II.
NOTE
SECTION 2.01 NOTE. The Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory
note (as from time to time supplemented, extended, amended or replaced, the
"NOTE"), substantially in the form set forth in EXHIBIT 2.01, with
appropriate insertions, dated the date hereof, payable to the order of Lender
in the initial maximum principal amount of $29,100,000 on the Maturity Date.
If the Facility Limit is increased pursuant to SECTION 1.01, the Note shall
be replaced by a promissory note, substantially in the form of the existing
Note, with appropriate changes to reflect an increased maximum principal
amount to coincide with the increased Facility Limit. Upon receipt of a new
Note satisfactory to Lender, Lender shall cause the existing Note to be
destroyed. Principal of, and interest on, the Loans shall be paid from time
to time as set forth in SECTION 3.03. Borrower shall have the right to prepay
all or any portion of the Loans in full on any Settlement Date, PROVIDED that
Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of such intention to prepay the
Loans in a notice delivered on the related Reporting Date preceding such
Settlement Date. Any such prepayment under this SECTION 2.01 shall be
accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and all other
amounts then due hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall record in its
records, or at its option on the schedule attached to the Note, the date and
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the interest rate with respect thereto
(as determined under SECTION 2.02), each repayment thereof, and the other
information provided for thereon. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so
recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount
owing and unpaid on the Note. The failure so to record any such information
or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit
or otherwise affect the actual obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the
Note to repay the principal amount of all Loans, together with all interest
accruing thereon, as set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 2.02 INTEREST ON LOANS AND YIELD ON CERTIFICATES. Each
Loan and each Certificate shall accrue interest or yield, respectively,
during each Settlement Period at a rate equal to the Interest Rate or Yield
Rate, as applicable, as in effect for such Settlement Period for such Loan or
Certificate, which interest or yield, as applicable, shall be payable on each
Settlement Date as set forth in SECTION 3.03. Interest and yield shall be
payable on each Settlement Date for the Settlement Period related to such
Settlement Date from amounts distributed pursuant to SECTION 3.03.
SECTION 2.03 GENERAL PROCEDURES. No outstanding principal or
certificate balance shall be considered reduced by any allocation, set aside
or distribution of any portion of Collections or any other payment unless
such Collections or other payment shall have been actually delivered to the
applicable Secured Party pursuant hereto. No principal or interest or
certificate balance or yield shall be considered paid by any distribution of
any portion of Collections or any other payment if at any time such
distribution or payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any
reason. No
provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the
collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.
SECTION 2.04 COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower agrees to pay to the
Lender a commitment fee (the "COMMITMENT FEE") for each day, from the date
hereof to the Termination Date, equal to the product of (x) the Facility
Limit, MINUS the Outstanding Facility Amount on such day, TIMES (y) 0.30%,
DIVIDED BY (z) 360. The Commitment Fee shall be paid in arrears, on each
Settlement Date as set forth in SECTION 3.03 and on the Termination Date, in
the amount that shall have accrued during the Settlement Period (or portion
thereof) related to such Settlement Date or other period then ending and
which shall not have been previously paid.
SECTION 2.05 REGISTRATION; REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND
EXCHANGE OF NOTES.
(a) The Owner Trustee shall be the Note Registrar hereunder.
The Note Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at its address set forth
on the signature page hereof, a Note Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide
for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as
provided herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Note may be subdivided in
denominations less than $100,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 upon any
transfer or exchange.
(b) At the option of a Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged
for other Notes in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal
amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged to the Note Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Note, the
Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Borrower, authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the
date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.
(c) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Note Registrar duly
executed by the Noteholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each
Note surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled
and subsequently destroyed by the Note Registrar in accordance with its
customary practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Owner Trustee or the Note Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Notes.
(d) The parties hereto agree that all actions of the Owner
Trustee as Note Registrar under this SECTION 2.05 shall be subject to the
provisions of Article VI of the Trust Agreement.

instruct such Depository Bank, to cease such distribution of funds and
to distribute such funds only in accordance with further instructions
from the Collateral Agent. The initial Disbursement Account shall be at
Bank of America, N.A. in the State of North Carolina. Prior to adding
any additional Disbursement Accounts, Borrower (or the Administrator on
its behalf) shall provide an opinion of counsel with respect to
perfection issues substantially in the form of the opinion issued

(d) FORM OF INVESTMENT. Any investment of any funds in the
Credit Balance Settlement Account shall be made under the following terms and
conditions:
(i) each such investment shall be made in the name of the
Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a
nominee of the Collateral Agent, and
(ii) any certificate or other instrument evidencing such investment
shall be delivered directly to the Collateral Agent and endorsed
in the name of the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent
shall have sole possession of such instrument.
(e) COLLATERAL AGENT NOT LIABLE. The Collateral Agent shall
not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Credit
Balance Settlement Account resulting from losses on investments made in
accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 3.01 (but the Collateral Agent
shall at all times remain liable for its own debt obligations, if any,
constituting part of such investments). The Collateral Agent shall not be
liable for any investment made by it in accordance with this SECTION 3.01 on
the grounds that it could have made a more favorable investment.
SECTION 3.02 COLLECTION OF MONEYS. If at any time Borrower or
the Servicer shall receive any payment on or in respect of any Pool Asset, it
shall hold such payment in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and
the other Secured Parties, shall segregate such payment from the other

SECTION 3.04 LETTER OF CREDIT MATTERS.
(a) LETTER OF CREDIT MATTERS. On or prior to the initial Borrowing

security for the performance of its duties hereunder as TRM ATM, as Servicer
and as Administrator and as security for the Borrower's obligations to the
Secured Parties hereunder.
(b) DRAWINGS ON LETTER OF CREDIT. If by 12:00 noon (New York, New

by TRM ATM to the Credit Balance Settlement Account is insufficient (as set
forth on the most recent Servicing Report) to permit on such Settlement Date
the distributions required by CLAUSES SECOND, THIRD and FOURTH of SECTION
3.03(d) or (ii) the amount of collected funds on deposit on the Credit Balance
Settlement Account is insufficient to permit on such Settlement Date the
distribution required by CLAUSES FIRST and SECOND of SECTION 3.03(e),
then the Liquidity Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to make a drawing
on the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the aggregate shortfall and
apply the amounts received (x) first, in the case of a deficiency described
in clause (i) above, to pay the amounts required by CLAUSES SECOND through
FOURTH of SECTION 3.03(d), and (y) second, in the case of a deficiency
described in clause (ii) above, to the Credit Balance Settlement Account,
such amount as shall be necessary to make the distributions required by
CLAUSES FIRST and SECOND of SECTION 3.03(e).
(c) In the event that the short-term unsecured debt rating of the
Letter of Credit Bank falls below "P-1" by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ or "F1" by Fitch, then
within two (2) Business Days after TRM ATM shall have received notice or shall
have obtained actual knowledge of such event, TRM ATM shall notify the
Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Agent, and TRM ATM shall, within
twenty-one (21) Business Days after giving such notice, use all reasonable
efforts to obtain a replacement letter of credit for such Letter of Credit
issued by a Qualified Letter of Credit Bank in an amount equal to the Letter

this SECTION 4.02. Failure or delay in giving such notification shall not

under the Liquidity Agreement) as a result of (i) any payment being made on

Servicer, Borrower shall pay to the applicable Affected Party the amount of
such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations
in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive

and franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed by the state or
foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which the payee is organized or
conducts business or any political subdivision thereof, and also not

purposes other than any such filing required by any taxing authority (all
such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings
and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "TAXES"). If Borrower, the
Administrator
or the Servicer shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lender or the Administrative

be, shall make an additional payment to the payee in an amount sufficient so
that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable

equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower, the Administrator or the Servicer, as the case may be,
shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrator or the
Servicer, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law.

liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Lender
in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of the Loans
and/or Certificates hereunder, the Lender is required to compensate a bank or
other financial institution providing such liquidity support, credit
enhancement or other similar support in respect of taxes under circumstances

SECTION 7.05 SEPARATE EXISTENCE. Borrower hereby acknowledges

entity separate from TRM and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the
date hereof, Borrower and the Servicer shall take all steps specifically
required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrative Agent
or the Liquidity Agent to continue Borrower's identity as a separate legal
entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that Borrower is an entity
with assets and liabilities distinct from those of any other Person and is
not a division of any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set
forth herein, each of Borrower and Servicer shall take such actions as shall
be required in order that:
(a) Borrower will be a business trust whose primary activities are
restricted in its organizational documentation and whose purposes include
borrowing funds from Lender and using such funds to provide Cash to TRM ATM,
and conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to
carry out its primary activities;
(b) Any employee, consultant or agent of Borrower will be
compensated from Borrower's funds for services provided to Borrower. Borrower
will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other
professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, which servicer will be fully compensated for its
services by payment of the Servicing Fee;
(c) Borrower will not incur any material indirect or overhead
expenses for items shared with Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof)
which are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that
Servicer (or any Affiliate thereof) shares with Borrower items of expense not
reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other
professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent
practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and
otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of
services rendered;

operating expenses will not be paid by Servicer or any other Affiliate thereof;

from those of any other Person;

to include Borrower will contain detailed notes clearly stating that (A) all
of Borrower's assets are owned by Borrower, and (B) Borrower is a separate
entity with creditors who have received security interests in Borrower's
assets;
(h) Borrower's assets will be maintained in a manner that
facilitates their identification and segregation from those of any other
Person;
(i) Borrower will strictly observe trust formalities in its
dealings with Servicer and any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of
Borrower will not be commingled with those of any other Person. Borrower shall
not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which any
other Person has independent access (other than in accordance with the
Transaction Documents). Borrower is not named, and has not entered into any
agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent
beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss
relating to the property of any other Person; and
(j) Borrower will not hold itself out to be responsible for the
debts of any other Person or the decisions or actions respecting the daily
business and affairs of any other Person. Borrower will immediately correct
any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and it will not
operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with
respect to or in its dealing with any other Person.
ARTICLE VIII.
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
SECTION 8.01 SERVICER TO ACT. Borrower hereby appoints TRM ATM as
Servicer to perform the duties with respect to the provision of Cash to ATMs
as contemplated by this Agreement. Such services shall include: (i) entering

number), (v) maintaining records with respect to the amount of Cash located in
each ATM at any time and (vi) instructing the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, as to which Disbursement Accounts Cash is to
be deposited for distribution to the applicable Transportation Agents. The
Servicer covenants and agrees that under no circumstances will it direct any
Cash to be deposited into any account other than a Disbursement Account or the
Credit Balance Settlement Account. In addition, no transportation agent,
depository bank, armored car carrier or processing agent shall be utilized by
the Servicer unless such Person has been approved in writing by the
Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Agent (such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) and otherwise satisfies the definition of
"Transportation Agent," "Depository Bank," "Armored Car Carrier" and
"Processing Agent," as applicable; PROVIDED, that TRM ATM may enter into
approved Automated Teller Machine Cash Services Agreements with Qualified
Transportation Agents. The Servicer shall perform, and shall have full power
and authority to perform, subject to the requirements and limitations set
forth in this Agreement, any and all things in connection with such servicing
that are consistent with all Applicable Laws and consistent with customary
practices of servicers performing similar functions, but in performing its
duties hereunder, the Servicer will act on behalf of and for the benefit of
Borrower and the Secured Parties. If any Processing Agent is Disconnected for
more than 48 consecutive hours, the Servicer shall instruct all Transportation
Agents servicing ATMs for which such Processing Agent is acting as "Processing
Agent" to cease depositing Cash in such ATMs and remove all Cash from such
ATMs on the earlier of (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the next Settlement
Date and (ii) the next cycled service visit to such ATM and deposit such Cash
in the Credit Balance Settlement Account.
SECTION 8.02 INSURANCE. The Servicer shall maintain, or cause to
be maintained for Borrower's account, with respect to the Cash insurance
covering losses resulting from ATM malfunction, theft, fraud, fire, and any
other items as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the
Liquidity Agent in the amounts specified in Exhibit 8.02. The Servicer shall
cause such insurance policies to be issued
by reputable insurance companies with claims paying ratings of at least "A"
by Standard & Poor's and "Aa1" by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇. In addition, the Servicer shall
cause each such insurance policy to provide that (i) it may not be cancelled,
amended or terminated without at least 30 days prior written notice to
Borrower and the Collateral Agent and (ii) the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, is the loss payee. The Servicer shall
promptly file and shall diligently pursue any claims with respect to the Cash
with the applicable insurer, and shall deposit all proceeds received in
connection therewith in the Credit Balance Settlement Account within one (1)
Business Day of receipt. Upon any failure of the Servicer to take any such
actions, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any such actions
in its place and stead and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Collateral
Agent in taking any such action. Within three (3) Business Days of obtaining
knowledge of any loss with respect to the Cash which is required to be
covered by insurance pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall deposit
the full amount of such loss into the Credit Balance Settlement Account. Upon
receipt by the Servicer or the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any claim
made with respect to any such loss for which the Servicer has advanced a loss
payment pursuant to the preceding sentence, such proceeds shall be paid to
the Servicer in reimbursement of its payment and shall not constitute
Collections to be distributed in accordance with SECTION 3.03.
SECTION 8.03 REPORTING. The Servicer shall deliver to Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Agent the following:
(i) On the third Business Day prior to each Settlement Date (the

(ii) Such other information as may be reasonably requested from
time to time by Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the
Liquidity Agent.

maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, accurate and complete books and
records for Borrower.
SECTION 8.05 [RESERVED].
SECTION 8.06 COSTS OF SERVICING; SERVICER'S FEE.

required by this ARTICLE VIII shall be borne by the Servicer. The Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the servicing fee (the "SERVICING FEE") in the
amount described in SECTION 8.06(b).
(b) SERVICER'S FEE. The amount of the Servicing Fee which the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Cash Provision Fee Payment Date
shall be determined by multiplying the average Borrowing Base during the
Settlement Period ending on such Settlement Date TIMES 1.00% TIMES 1/52.
SECTION 8.07 SUCCESSOR SERVICER. Upon the occurrence of any
Servicer Event of Default or any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may
give notice to Servicer that a new Servicer has been designated. Upon receipt
by Servicer of such notice, it shall terminate its activities as Servicer
hereunder in a manner that the Collateral Agent believes will facilitate the
transition of the performance of such activities to a new Servicer. Any new
Servicer must agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the
"Servicer" pursuant to the terms hereof. The Collateral Agent shall provide
each Rating Agency with notice of any change in the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby agrees to cooperate with any successor to the
Servicer appointed in accordance herewith in effecting the termination and
transfer of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder to the
Collateral Agent or any successor to the Servicer, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the successor to the Servicer for administration
by it of all Cash which shall at the time be held by the Servicer or
thereafter received with respect to the Assets Pool. In addition, upon the
appointment of any successor Servicer, the Servicer shall obtain and/or
assign to such successor any license or approval required for the use of any
program used by the Servicer in the servicing of the Assets Pool. The
Servicer hereby designates any successor to the Servicer as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute transfers of financing statements and any other
filings or instruments which may be necessary or advisable to effect such
transfer of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder.
SECTION 8.08 BAILEE FOR LENDER. The Servicer hereby
acknowledges that Borrower has granted to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the assets of
Borrower, including, without limitation, the Cash and any credit balances in
a Network resulting from the dispensing of Cash at ATMs. If the Servicer has,
or is deemed to have, possession of any Cash (whether in the form of cash,
credit balances in a Network or otherwise), the Servicer agrees that it shall
hold all such Cash as custodian and bailee on behalf of the Collateral Agent
for the purposes of perfecting the security interest of the Secured Parties
in such Cash.

power to take any action to compel performance or observance by the Servicer
or such other party of its obligations to Borrower, and the right to give any
consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver in respect
of any Transaction Document. If Borrower shall have failed, within five (5)
Business Days of receiving the directions of the Collateral Agent, to
satisfactorily undertake such directed actions, the Collateral Agent may take
such previously directed actions on behalf of Borrower and the Secured
Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the acceleration of the Note
and the Certificates pursuant to this SECTION 9.02, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right to give notice to the Servicer and each Transportation
Agent to arrange for the return (on the earlier of (i) two (2) Business Days
prior to the next Settlement Date and (ii) the next cycled service visit to
the ATMs serviced by such Transportation Agent) of all of the Cash in the
possession of such Transportation Agent or any ATM serviced by such
Transportation Agent (all such Cash to be deposited in the Credit Balance
Settlement Account).

SECTION 10.02 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S AND COLLATERAL AGENT'S
RELIANCE, ETC. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their
directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including

experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,

SECTION 10.03 THE LIQUIDITY AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND AFFILIATES. The Liquidity Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Administrative Agent and any of their respective Affiliates may
generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or the Servicer, any
of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of Borrower or the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates,
all as if they were not the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the
Liquidity Agent, respectively, and without any duty to account therefor to
any Secured Party or any other holder of an interest in the Assets Pool.
SECTION 10.04 APPOINTMENT AND POWERS OF COLLATERAL AGENT. The
Secured Parties hereby appoint the Collateral Agent as their agent hereunder
and hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to take such action on their behalf
and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder as are
specifically authorized to be exercised by the Collateral Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The parties hereto agree that the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action or
refrain from taking any action in its capacity as Collateral Agent, but shall
only be required to act or refrain from acting in such capacity (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instruction
of the Majority Liquidity Providers. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to retain experts and to act in reliance upon the advice of such experts
concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies hereby created and its
duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such experts
selected by it. The relationship between the Collateral Agent and each of the
Secured Parties is that of Collateral Agent and principal only, and nothing
herein shall be deemed to constitute the Collateral Agent a trustee for any
of the Secured Parties or impose on the Collateral Agent any obligations
other than those for which express provision is made herein.
If the Collateral Agent receives unclear or conflicting
instructions, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking action until clear
or non-conflicting instructions are received, but shall inform the
instructing party or parties promptly of its decision to refrain from taking
such action. Except as required by the specific terms of this Agreement, the
Collateral Agent shall have no duty to exercise any right, power, remedy or
privilege granted to it hereby, or to take any affirmative action hereunder,
unless directed to do so by the Majority Liquidity Providers (and shall be
fully protected in acting or refraining from acting pursuant to such
directions which shall be binding on the Secured Parties), and shall not,
without the prior approval of the Majority Liquidity Providers, waive any
default on the part of Borrower or the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take
any
action (i) which the Collateral Agent has determined will expose the
Collateral Agent to personal or financial liability, unless indemnified to
its satisfaction, or (ii) which is contrary to this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents, or applicable law.
The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication,
instrument, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been given, signed or sent by the proper Person or
Persons. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless an officer of the
Collateral Agent has actual knowledge thereof or the Collateral Agent has
received written notice thereof from the Secured Parties.
SECTION 10.05 COLLATERAL AGENT AND EMPLOYEES OF THE COLLATERAL
AGENT.
(a) Each Liquidity Provider hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless, in accordance with its pro rata percentage of the sum of the
aggregate commitments under the Liquidity Agreement, the Collateral Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by Administrator or Borrower) from and against any
and all losses, liabilities, actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel and other experts) incurred or suffered by the
Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder of the Secured
Parties as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Collateral Agent in such capacity or otherwise incurred or suffered by, made
upon or assessed against the Collateral Agent in such capacity to the extent
not reimbursed by Administrator or Borrower or by application of the
Collateral; PROVIDED that no Liquidity Provider shall be liable for any
portion of any such losses, liabilities, actions, suits, judgments, demands,
costs or expenses resulting from or attributable to gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Liquidity Provider hereby agrees to
reimburse, in the ratio aforesaid, the Collateral Agent promptly following its
demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent hereunder and not promptly
reimbursed to the Collateral Agent by Administrator or Borrower or by
application of the Collateral. The obligations of each Liquidity Provider
under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Liquidity Agreement.
If at any time, following its demand therefor, the Collateral Agent shall not
be reimbursed by Administrator or Borrower or by the Liquidity Providers, the
Collateral Agent is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all amounts
at any time held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Liquidity
Providers, against any and all of the obligations of the Liquidity Providers
to the Collateral Agent now or hereafter existing under this Agreement. The
Collateral Agent agrees promptly to notify each Liquidity Provider after any
such set-off and application made by the Collateral Agent, PROVIDED that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. The rights of the Collateral Agent under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies which the Collateral Agent may have.
(b) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral
Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or
other liability in the
performance of any duties hereunder or in the exercise of any rights and
powers hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek
instructions from any court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent
may rely on the advice of counsel and shall be held harmless for actions
taken in reliance thereon.
(d) The Collateral Agent makes no representation as to, and shall
have no responsibility for, the correctness of any statement contained in, or
the validity or sufficiency of, this Agreement or any documents or
instruments referred to in this Agreement or the sufficiency or effectiveness
of any collateral assigned by this Agreement or as to or for the validity or
collectibility of any obligation contemplated by this Agreement. The
Collateral Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by any
person of disbursements properly made by the Collateral Agent in conformity
with the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) The Collateral Agent may exercise any of its duties hereunder
by or through Collateral Agents or employees. The possession of the
Collateral by such Collateral Agents or employees shall be deemed to be the
possession of the Collateral Agent.
(f) The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the resignation of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
SECTION 10.06 SUCCESSOR AGENT. The Collateral Agent acting
hereunder at any time may resign by an instrument in writing addressed and
delivered, 60 days prior to the effectiveness of such resignation, to each of
the Liquidity Providers, the Liquidity Agent, the Lender, and the Borrower,
and may be removed at any time with cause by an instrument in writing duly
executed by or on behalf of the Majority Liquidity Providers. Subject to the
provisions hereof, the Majority Liquidity Providers shall also have the right
to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent upon any such resignation or
removal, by an instrument of substitution complying with the requirements of
applicable law, or, in the absence of any such requirements, without any
formality other than appointment and designation in writing. Upon the making
and acceptance of such appointment, the execution and delivery by such
successor Collateral Agent of a ratifying instrument pursuant to which such
successor Collateral Agent agrees to assume the duties and obligations
imposed on the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, and the
delivery to such successor Collateral Agent of the Collateral, and documents
and instruments then held by the retiring Collateral Agent, such successor
Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
estate, rights, powers, remedies, privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties
and obligations hereby granted to or conferred or imposed upon the retiring
Collateral Agent, and one such appointment and designation shall not exhaust
the right to appoint and designate further successor Collateral Agents
hereunder. No removal or resignation of the Collateral Agent shall be
effective unless and until a successor Collateral Agent has been duly
appointed, and the
appointment of such successor Collateral Agent has been accepted by such
successor Collateral Agent. No Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its
duties or obligations hereunder until the Collateral and documents and
instruments then held by such retiring Collateral Agent shall have been
transferred or delivered to the successor Collateral Agent in its capacity as
bank or trust company, until such retiring Collateral Agent shall have
executed and delivered to the successor Collateral Agent appropriate
instruments substituting such successor Collateral Agent for purposes of this
Agreement and assigning the retiring Collateral Agent's interest in the
Collateral, to the successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral
Agent shall be appointed, as aforesaid, or, if appointed, shall not have
accepted its appointment, within 30 days after notice of resignation or
removal of the retiring Collateral Agent, then, subject to the provisions
hereof, the retiring Collateral Agent may appoint a successor Collateral
Agent with the written consent of the Liquidity Agent. Each such successor
Collateral Agent shall provide Borrower, the Administrator the Lender, each
Liquidity Provider and the Liquidity Agent with its address and telephone
numbers. Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of any Collateral Agent
hereunder, the provisions of this ARTICLE X shall continue to inure to the
benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent in respect of any action taken or
omitted to be taken by such retiring Collateral Agent in its capacity as such
while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Borrower shall provide
prompt notice to each Rating Agency and the Administrative Agent of the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
ARTICLE XI.

SECTION 11.01 RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNMENTS.
(a) Neither Borrower nor Servicer may assign its rights, or
delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein, without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Liquidity Agent. Lender
may not assign its rights hereunder or its Commitment, the Note or the
Certificates to any Person without the prior written consent of Borrower,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
(i) Lender may assign all or any part of its rights and interests

agent, to secure Lender's obligations under or in connection
with the
Commercial Paper Notes, the Liquidity Agreement, and certain
other obligations of Lender incurred in connection with the
funding of the Borrowings and Certificates hereunder, which
assignment and grant of a security interest shall not be
considered an "assignment" for purposes of this SECTION 11.01
or, prior to the enforcement of such security interest, for
purposes of any other provision of this Agreement.
(b) Borrower agrees to advise the Administrative Agent within
five (5) Business Days after notice to Borrower of any proposed assignment by
Lender not otherwise permitted under SUBSECTION (a) of Borrower's consent or
non-consent to such assignment and if it does not consent with respect to an

the Liquidity Provider. All of the aforementioned assignments shall be upon
such terms and conditions as the Lender and the assignee may mutually agree.

Commitment, the Note, the Certificates and the Assets Pool (or any portion

INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 12.01 INDEMNITIES BY BORROWER AND ADMINISTRATOR.
(a) GENERAL INDEMNITY. Without limiting any other rights which any
such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, each of the Borrower
and TRM ATM, as Administrator, hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to
indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Lender, each
Certificateholder, the Liquidity Providers, the Liquidity Agent, the
Collateral Agent, each of their respective Affiliates, and all successors and
permitted transferees, participants and assigns and all officers, directors,
shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the
foregoing (each an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), forthwith on demand, from and against
any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as "INDEMNIFIED AMOUNTS") awarded
against or incurred by any of them as a result of a claim arising out of or
relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated
thereby, EXCLUDING, HOWEVER, Indemnified Amounts to the extent determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction or in binding arbitration to have resulted
from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified
Party. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower and TRM ATM, as Administrator,
shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of
or relating to:
(i) the transfer by Borrower of any interest in any of its assets
other than the grant of a security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, pursuant to
SECTION 1.03 (or as otherwise permitted hereunder);
(ii) any representation or warranty made by Borrower (or any of its
officers or Affiliates) under or in connection with any
Transaction Document, any information or report delivered by
or on behalf of Borrower pursuant hereto, which shall have
been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect
when made or deemed made (unless so disclosed at the time of
delivery);
(iii) the failure by Borrower or Administrator to comply with any
Applicable Law or the terms of any of the Transaction
Documents;
(iv) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Collateral
Agent (A) a first priority perfected security interest in all
of the assets of Borrower which may be perfected by filing a
financing statement under the UCC, (B) a security interest in
all of the other assets of Borrower, in each case free and
clear of any Lien, other than a Lien arising solely as a
result of an act of the Secured Parties, whether existing at
the time of any Borrowing or at any time thereafter;
(v) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents under the
UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws
with respect to the assets of Borrower, whether at the time of
any Borrowing or at any time thereafter;
(vi) any failure of Borrower to perform its duties or obligations
in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE VII or otherwise
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document;
(vii) any failure by Borrower to file any tax returns or pay any
taxes when due; and
(viii) any tax or governmental fee, fine or charge (but not
including U.S. federal income taxes upon or measured by net
income or state or local taxes upon or measured by net income
imposed on the Indemnified Parties by the jurisdiction in
which such Indemnified Party is organized or is otherwise
taxable without regard to their participation in the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and
also not including such amounts resulting from any income tax
filing by Certificateholders being inconsistent with the
characterization of advances by the Borrower to TRM ATM as a
loan or series of loans for federal income tax purposes other
than any such filing required by any taxing authority), all
interest and penalties (including, but not limited to,
penalties for failure to file returns or pay amounts due)
thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs
and expenses, including, but not limited to (i) the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in defending against
the same, which may arise by reason of the Loans, the
Certificates or any interest in the assets of Borrower
(including, without limitation, any fees, fines or charges
which may be imposed as a result of any failure to properly
disclose any fees charged to any consumer in an ATM
transaction) and (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses
incurred to file any returns required to be filed to report
the same. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
neither the Borrower nor any of the Indemnified Parties
derives tax nexus to any jurisdiction solely by reason by its
participation in the transaction or transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, unless otherwise required by
appropriate taxing authorities.
(b) CONTEST OF TAX CLAIM; AFTER-TAX BASIS. If any 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
Borrower under SECTION 12.01(a)(vii), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt
and timely notice of such attempt to Borrower and Borrower shall have the
right, at its expense, to participate in any proceedings resisting or
objecting to the imposition or collection of any such tax, governmental fee or
charge. Failure or delay in giving such notification shall not constitute a
waiver of such Indemnified Party's right to such compensation; PROVIDED, that
such Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to compensation under this
Section 12.01 for any Indemnified Amounts incurred or suffered with respect to
any date unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Borrower not
more than 90 days after the applicable 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 Borrower
under SECTION 12.01(a)(vii). 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 income or profits
which is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.
(c) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided
above in this SECTION 12.01 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is
insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then Borrower 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 Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of
such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
(d) AVAILABLE FUNDS. Payments by Borrower under this SECTION 12.01
shall be paid solely to the extent funds are available pursuant to the
priorities set forth in SECTION 3.03.
SECTION 12.02 INDEMNITIES BY SERVICER.
(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Borrower or any
Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer
hereby agrees to indemnify the Borrower and the Indemnified Parties,
forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded
against or incurred by any of them to the extent that such Indemnified
Amounts are a result of a claim arising out of or relating to (i) the Pool
Assets or Servicer's performance of, or failure to perform, any of its duties
or obligations under or in connection with any Transaction Documents, (ii)
any representation or warranty made by the Servicer under or in connection
with any Transaction Document, any Servicing Report or any other information
or request delivered by or on behalf of Servicer pursuant hereto, which shall
have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or
deemed made (unless so disclosed at the time of delivery), (iii) the
co-mingling of any Cash or other Pool Assets with any of the assets of the
Servicer, (iv) any failure by the Servicer to pay any taxes when due, or (v)
any failure of Servicer to comply with any Applicable Law, EXCLUDING,
HOWEVER, Indemnified Losses to the extent determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction or in binding arbitration to have resulted from gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party.
(b) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided
above in this SECTION 12.02 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is
insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Servicer shall
contribute to the amount paid 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 Servicer on the other hand, but also the relative fault
of such
Indemnified Party (if any) and the Servicer and any other relevant equitable
considerations.
SECTION 12.03 INDEMNITIES BY TRM ATM.
(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Borrower or any
Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, TRM ATM hereby
agrees to indemnify the Borrower and the Indemnified Parties, forthwith on
demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or
incurred by any of them to the extent that such Indemnified Amounts are a
result of a claim arising out of or relating to (i) any tax or governmental
fee, fine or charge (but not including U.S. federal income taxes upon or
measured by net income or state or local taxes upon or measured by net income
imposed on the Borrower or the Indemnified Parties by the jurisdiction in
which the Borrower or such Indemnified Party is organized or is otherwise
taxable without regard to their participation in the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and also not including such
amounts resulting from any income tax filing by Certificateholders being
inconsistent with the characterization of advances by the Borrower to TRM ATM
as a loan or series of loans for federal income tax purposes other than any
such filing required by any taxing authority), all interest and penalties
(including, but not limited to, penalties for failure to file returns or pay
amounts due) thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses, including, but not limited to (x) the reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason of or
relating to the Transaction Documents and (y) the reasonable fees and
expenses incurred to file any returns required to be filed to report the same
or (ii) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Borrower a first
priority perfected security interest in the ATM Fees. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that neither the Borrower nor any of the Indemnified
Parties derives tax nexus to any jurisdiction solely by reason by its
participation in the transaction or transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing
authorities.
(b) CONTEST OF TAX CLAIM; AFTER-TAX BASIS. If the Borrower or any
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 TRM ATM under SECTION 12.03(a)(i), the Borrower or such Indemnified
Party shall give prompt and timely notice of such attempt to TRM ATM and TRM
ATM shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in any proceedings
resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection of any such tax,
governmental fee or charge. Failure or delay in giving such notification
shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to such compensation;
PROVIDED, that such party shall not be entitled to compensation under this
Section 12.03 for any Indemnified Amounts incurred or suffered with respect
to any date unless such party shall have notified TRM ATM not more than 90
days after the applicable 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 TRM ATM under SECTION 12.03(a)(i). Indemnification hereunder
shall be in an amount necessary to make the Borrower or Indemnified Party
whole after taking into account any tax consequences to such 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 income or profits which is or was payable by such party.
(c) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided
above in this SECTION 12.03 is unavailable to the Borrower or an Indemnified
Party or is insufficient to hold the Borrower or an Indemnified Party
harmless, then TRM ATM shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Borrower or 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 the Borrower or by such Indemnified Party on the
one hand and TRM ATM on the other hand but also the relative fault of the
Borrower or such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.
