Collateral Agent, at Recco's or the Servicer's (as the case may be) cost and
expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with
regard thereto.
(e) Compliance with Laws, etc. Recco will comply with all Requirements
of Law applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of
Recco's business; provided, however, that Recco may contest any Requirement of

Collateral Agent, adversely affect the Collateral Agent's rights or the priority
of its Liens on the Collateral.
(f) Compliance with Terms of Contracts, etc. Recco will perform and
comply with all its obligations under the Purchased Contracts and all its other
Contractual Obligations relating to the Collateral.
(g) Payment of Obligations. Recco will pay promptly when due all taxes,

respect of its
13
income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including,
without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with
respect to the Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if (i) the
validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings,
(ii) such proceedings do not involve any danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss
of any of the Collateral or any interest therein and (iii) such charge is
adequately reserved against on Recco's books in accordance with GAAP.
(h) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Recco will not create, incur or
permit to exist, will defend the Collateral against, and will take such other
action as is necessary to remove, any Lien or claim on or to the Collateral,
other than the Liens created hereby and other than as permitted pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, and will defend the right, title and interest of the
Collateral Agent in and to any of the Collateral against the claims and demands

(i) Limitations on Dispositions of Collateral. Recco will not sell,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or attempt, offer
or contract to do so, except as permitted by the Operative Documents.

the Interest Rate Hedge Mechanisms. Recco will not, and will not permit any

this Section 8, (ii) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every
right which it may have under each Purchased Contract, (iii) fail to deliver to

thereon.

Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying

Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable
detail.

and the Surety Provider promptly, in detail, at its respective address set forth
in the Credit Agreement, (i) of any Lien (other than Liens created or permitted

the Subordinated Note.
(n) Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Recco will not, without providing
30 days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Surety Provider, the
Lenders and the Group Agents (and, in the case of clause (iv), without the prior
written consent of the Collateral Agent), and without filing any UCC financing
statements necessary or desirable (in the opinion of the Surety Provider or the
Group Agents) to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent's
security interest in the Collateral, as provided for herein (i) change the state
of incorporation from that specified in Section 7(c) or remove its books and
records from such location, (ii) change its name, identity or corporate
structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Collateral
Agent in connection with this Security Agreement would become seriously
misleading or (iii) change the location where the Purchased Contracts and the
Files are maintained.
Section 9. Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Powers. Recco and the Servicer hereby irrevocably constitute and
appoint the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power
of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of Recco and the Servicer and in the
name of Recco, the Servicer or in its own name, from time to time in the
Collateral Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
Security Agreement, to take any and all lawful and appropriate action and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Recco and the Servicer hereby give the
Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of Recco and the Servicer,
without notice to or assent by Recco or the Servicer, to do the following, in
each case at the direction of the Controlling Party:
(i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Wind-Down Event, in the name of Recco, the Servicer or its own name, or
otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks,
drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys
due under any Account, Instrument, General Intangible or Contract and to
file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of
law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for
the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account,
Instrument, General Intangible or Contract whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral; and
(iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Wind-Down Event, (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any
of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become
due thereunder directly to the Collateral
15
Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct and to notify the Lock-Box
Banks to follow the instructions of the Collateral Agent; (B) to ask or
demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in
respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any
invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and
other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence
and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any proceeds
thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E)
to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Recco with
respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit,
action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection
therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may
deem appropriate; (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral
pursuant to Section 11 hereof as fully and completely as though the
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to
do, at the Controlling Party's option and Recco's or the Servicer's, as
applicable, expense, at any time, or from time to time, all lawful acts
and things which the Controlling Party deems necessary to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's Liens
thereon and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully
and effectively as Recco or the Servicer might do; (H) implement the
Alternate Servicing Plan; (i) direct the Servicer to deliver any Files to
the Collateral Agent at Recco's expense; and (J) compel the transfer of
Recco's interest in all rights (by license, sublicense or otherwise) of
any computer software necessary to collect the Contracts.
Recco and the Servicer hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
(b) Other Powers. Recco also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any
time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for
in Section 11 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral that it is directed by the
Controlling Party to execute.
(c) No Duty on Collateral Agent's Part. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent's
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that
it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it
nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Recco for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely and
shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document
(whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
Section 10. Performance by Collateral Agent of Recco's Obligations. If
Recco fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and
the Collateral Agent, as
16
provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall itself perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the
expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance, together with interest thereon until paid in full at a rate per
annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by Recco to the Collateral
Agent on demand or to the extent that funds are available under Section 4(b) or
5(b) (as the case may be) and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.
Section 11. Remedies. If a Wind-Down Event shall occur and be continuing,
the Collateral Agent may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC, at the direction of the Controlling
Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent,
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time
and place of public or private sale) to or upon Recco or any other Person (all
and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived), may in such circumstances, at the direction of the Controlling Party,
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or
options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral or any
part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of
the Collateral Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem
advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent
shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or
any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption
in Recco, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Recco further
agrees, at the Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and the
Files and make them available to the Collateral Agent at places which the
Collateral Agent shall select, whether at Recco's premises or elsewhere. The
Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery,
receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights
of the Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations,
in such order (consistent with Section 5(b)) as the Collateral Agent may elect,
and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of
any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account
for the surplus, if any, to Recco. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
Recco waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent
arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. If any
notice of a proposed sale or disposition of Collateral shall be required by law,
such notice shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given (effective
upon dispatch) in any manner provided in the Credit Agreement at least 10 days
before such sale or disposition. Recco shall remain liable for any deficiency if
the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient
to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed
by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
17
Upon the occurrence of a Wind-Down Event, Recco shall take such action or
shall cause such action to be taken pursuant to any and all Interest Rate Hedge
Mechanisms and/or enter into any Hedge Agreement at the sole expense of Recco
promptly upon the request of the Controlling Party.
Section 12. Limitation on Collateral Agent's Duties in Respect of
Collateral. The Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall
be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell
or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Recco or otherwise.
To the extent the Collateral Agent receives written direction from either the
Controlling Party or the Group Agents as provided herein, the party delivering
such direction agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent from,
any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, legal
fees and expenses) with respect to or resulting from any action or action set
for to such direction; provided however that under no circumstances will such
party be liable for, or required to pay any amount pursuant to this paragraph
resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
Collateral Agent.
Section 13. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers of attorney,
authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are
irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest.
Section 14. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 15. Section and Paragraph Headings; Notices.
(a) The section and paragraph headings used in this Security Agreement
are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction
hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
(b) Notices to any of the signatories hereto shall be given as provided
in the Credit Agreement.
Section 16. Surety Bond. The Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Surety
Bond for the benefit of the Lenders and at the written request and direction of
any of the Group Agents, the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to make, on a timely
basis, all drawings (including, without limitation, drawings in respect of
Avoided Payments, as such term is defined in the Surety Bond) permitted to be
made by delivery of a Notice of Payment under the Surety Bond and to deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Group Agents, pro rata, for the benefit of the
Lenders the proceeds of such drawings.
18
Section 17. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Collateral Agent shall not
by any act (except pursuant to the execution of a written instrument pursuant to
Section 18 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Unmatured
Wind-Down Event or Wind-Down Event or in any breach of any of the terms and
conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the
part of the Collateral Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral
Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would
otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies provided herein
and in the other Operative Documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 18. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
the parties hereto, each of the Group Agents and the Surety Provider and with
prior written notice thereof to S&P and Xxxxx'x. This Security Agreement shall
be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto and shall inure
to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
Section 19. Integration. This Security Agreement represents the agreement
of Recco, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by the Collateral Agent, Recco and the Servicer relative to the
subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the
other Operative Documents.
Section 20. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by one
or more of the parties to this Security Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 21. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO UNDER THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES WHICH MAY
REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (INCLUDING SECTION
5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).
Section 22. Termination and Release.
(a) This Security Agreement and the security interests created or
granted hereby shall remain in full force and effect until the date after the
Commitment Termination Date on which all of the Obligations are indefeasably
paid in full in cash and the Surety Bond is returned for cancellation, at which
time, following the receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice from the
Group Agents that such Obligations have been so paid and from the Surety
Provider that such Surety Bond has been returned, the security interest created
or granted hereby shall terminate and
19
the Collateral Agent shall, at the sole expense of Recco, execute and deliver
such documents and instruments (including without limitation UCC termination
statements) necessary to evidence the termination of such security interest, as
Recco may reasonably request.
(b) (i) Recco Request for Release. Recco intends from time to time to
sell Purchased Contracts and other related Collateral (x) to entities which will
then privately or publicly sell securities backed by such Purchased Contracts
and Collateral or (y) in whole loan bulk sales to Onyx Acceptance Corporation or
Xxxxx or, with the prior written consent of the Controlling Party, unaffiliated
third parties, in each case, for a cash purchase price of not less than the
aggregate Outstanding Balance of such Purchased Contracts plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and other unpaid Finance Charges with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 6.4, 6.5, and 6.16 of the
Credit Agreement, Recco shall be permitted to sell Purchased Contracts pursuant
to the foregoing provisions only upon satisfaction of the following conditions
precedent:
(A) sales pursuant to clause (y) shall occur no more
frequently than once each month;
(B) each of the Seller and Recco shall be in
compliance with all of its covenants in the Operative
Documents (including without limitation, maintenance of the

Event shall be continuing and no adverse selection procedures
shall have been used by Recco or the Servicer in selecting
Purchased Contracts for such sales;
(C) the Group Agents and Surety Provider shall have
received copies of all documents executed in connection with
such sale; and
(D) sufficient moneys are available in the Collection
Account to satisfy all amounts due on such date after the

any termination payment due the counterparty of a Hedge
Agreement.
The proceeds of all sales (such proceeds, the "Prepayment
Amount") by Recco pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) above shall
be applied in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement.
Upon not less than 5 Business Days' prior written notice to
the Collateral Agent, Recco may request that specified
Purchased Contracts and other related Collateral be released
in connection with such sales and the prepayment of the Lender
Notes as provided in Section 2.5(b) of the Credit Agreement.
In connection with such request, Recco shall execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent a Lien Release Request
Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In

pursuant hereto, Recco shall employ selection procedures which
are not adverse to the interests of the Lenders, the
Collateral Agent or the Surety Provider.
20
Recco shall deliver to the Group Agents and the Surety

Provider, Collateral Agent, the Group Agents and the Lenders, all
reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by such entity in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, review and
delivery of any documents related to any sale by Recco pursuant to Section
22(b)(i)(y) of this Agreement.

A. The following representations and warranties are made with respect
to all of the Collateral:
General
This Security Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest

security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as

proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in
order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and of the holders of the
Obligations hereunder (to the extent such security interest may be perfected by
filing under the applicable UCC).
Priority
Other than the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of itself and the holders of the Obligations, pursuant to this Agreement
or granted to Onyx pursuant to the Subordinated Security Agreement, Recco has
not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
conveyed any of the Collateral. Recco has not authorized the filing of and is

benefit of itself and the holders of the Obligations, hereunder or that has been
terminated. Recco is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against

General
1. Recco has taken or caused to be taken all steps necessary to perfect

Collateral.

constitutes or evidences the Subject Collateral has been delivered to the

agent is holding the Purchased Contracts that constitute or evidence the Subject
Collateral solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.
3. None of the Purchased Contracts that constitute or evidence the
Subject Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that it has been
pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of itself and the holders of the Obligations, and Onyx
pursuant to the Subordinated Security Agreement.
