Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 22, 2007, Wright Express Corporation entered into an interest rate swap arrangement (the "Swap") with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank").

The Swap is for a notional amount of $25,000,000, with an effective date of August 22, 2007 and a termination date of August 24, 2009 and an interest rate of 4.731%.

The Swap was designed as a cash flow hedge intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our credit agreement. The Swap fixes the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate revolving 2007 Credit Facility.

The variable rate of the Swap is based upon the 1-month USD-LIBOR-BBA. The variable rate of the Swap resets and the Swap settles on the 22nd of each month (or the following business day if the 22nd of the month is not a business day).





Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

See Item 1.01 above, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
