Going by your description, it matters how he got into the EZ. So if momentum takes place, then all that does is protect the player from a safety if the ball ends in the EZ.
The play did not end in the EZ and in NF rules the result of the play is the ball being out at the 4 because you can fumble the ball forward and the ball goes to the spot it is dead if going out of bounds.
So the enforcement spot actually is the GL and should be on the 15, because the foul took place in the EZ. So 1st and 10 at B's 15.
I must qualify something. This is if you do not rule momentum on the interception. If you rule momentum then the ball enforcement is from the 4 as originally said. But it sounds like there was no momentum based on your OP.
