Account:

(c) All Recoveries, which Recoveries shall be remitted by or on behalf
of XXXX to the Trustee on the 15th day of each month, for Recoveries received
during the preceding month.
Any amounts remitted to the Trustee for deposit into the Pledged Account shall
be accompanied by a notice in the form of EXHIBIT 2.
3. PLEDGED ACCOUNT INVESTMENT AND MAINTENANCE.
(a) The Owner shall withdraw from the Pledged Account and deposit into
the Reserve Fund of the Indenture any amounts owed by XXXX under each of the
Guaranty Agreements for Guaranty Claims as provided in Section 3(d)(i) hereof.
The Owner understands and agrees that XXXX shall be required to pay any such
claim amounts out of TERI's general reserves and other assets only to the extent
that and for so long as the Pledged Account is without sufficient funds or is
otherwise unavailable to promptly pay whatever amounts are then due and payable
under each of the Guaranty Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while
there is a default by XXXX under Section 8 hereof continuing, the provisions of
Section 9 hereof shall apply.
(b) Prior to the occurrence of a default by XXXX under Section 8
hereof, XXXX may direct the Owner to invest amounts held in the Pledged Account
in one or more Eligible Investments. If a default under Section 8 occurs and is
continuing, the Administrator shall have the sole right to direct investment of
the Pledged Account, but such investments shall be limited to Eligible
Investments.
(c) No interest, dividends, distributions or other earnings of whatever
nature which are paid and derived from the Pledged Account (collectively,
"EARNINGS") shall be withdrawn or paid to the Owner or XXXX or any other person
or entity unless pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(d). All Earnings shall
be fully, immediately and completely reinvested in the Pledged Account. Any
other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary (either expressly or by
implication) notwithstanding, all Earnings net of losses shall be credited to
and deemed income of XXXX and not of the Owner, and shall be so treated by XXXX.
(d) Withdrawals and disbursements from the Pledged Account shall be
made only in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Upon receipt by the Owner of a Payment of Guaranty Claims
Direction Letter, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT 1 (and, after the
occurrence of a default
6
under Section 8, whether or not such a Direction Letter is received), the Owner
shall withdraw from the Pledged Account and deposit in the Revenue Fund of the
Indenture the full amount of any valid Guaranty Claims made in accordance with
each of the Guaranty Agreements for defaulted Loans.
(ii) In the event TERI's income on the Pledged Account should
become subject to federal income taxation or the income from the Pledged Account
should become subject to excise tax under section 4940 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, XXXX shall be entitled to the release of Earnings from
the Pledged Account equal to the taxes actually paid by XXXX with respect to the
income on the Pledged Account. XXXX shall provide the Administrator and the
Trustee with a written request substantially in form of EXHIBIT 5 attached
hereto, for any such withdrawal, which request shall be accompanied by
documentation as to the amounts to be withdrawn ("WITHDRAWAL REQUEST"). Not
later than (15) days following receipt by the Administrator of a Withdrawal
Request, the Administrator may either (A) notify XXXX of any objection to such
Withdrawal Request along with reasons for such objection or (B) request any
further information or documentation relating to such request. If the
Administrator does not object or request further information from XXXX within
such (15) day period, the Administrator shall be deemed to have consented to the
Withdrawal Request, and the Administrator shall thereafter promptly cause the
Trustee to withdraw the requested funds from the Pledged Account. If the
Administrator objects to any Withdrawal Request, the Administrator shall deny
the request and provide XXXX with a written statement of the Administrator's
reasons for denial, which denial must be reasonably based on the requirements
set forth in this Section 3(d).
4. EXCESS FUNDS IN THE PLEDGED ACCOUNT. If on any Quarterly
Distribution Date under the Indenture, the product of (a) the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of and earned interest on Loans held by or pledged
to the Trustee, multiplied by (b) a factor equal to __________ (_____) (the
"STRESS FACTOR") is less than the balance in the Pledged Account, and, if no
default exists hereunder or under each of the Guaranty Agreements, the
Administrator shall cause the Trustee to pay to XXXX the amount by which the
balance in the Pledged Account exceeds such product. The parties agree that the
approval of the Stress Factor by the rating agencies is dependent upon the types
of Loans purchased by the Owner at each closing under the Indenture.
5. SECURITY INTEREST. XXXX hereby pledges, assigns and sets over to the
Owner, as security for payment by XXXX of the Secured Obligations (as
hereinafter defined), all of TERI's right, title and interest in and to (a) the
Pledged Account and all amounts on deposit or to be deposited therein as
described in Section 2 of this Agreement, including without limitation (i) any
and all Guaranty Fees previously paid by Loan Originators and currently held by
the Trustee in the Existing Pledged Account created under each of the Account
Security Agreements with respect to Loans purchased on any Closing Date as set
forth in each of the Security Agreements; (ii) any and all additional Guaranty
Fees with respect to such Loans purchased by the Owner, which fees will be
deposited into the Pledged Account on each Closing Date; and (iii) all
Recoveries, which Recoveries shall be remitted by or on behalf of XXXX to the
Trustee on the 15th day of each month, for Recoveries received during the
preceding month, and (b) TERI's right to receive all Earnings. The foregoing
shall not be
7
deemed to include a grant of security interest in defaulted Loans. In
furtherance thereof, XXXX hereby grants to the Owner (and its assigns) a first
priority security interest in all of TERI's right, title and interest in and to
the following, to the extent they relate to Loans purchased by the Owner:

which are paid with respect to or derived from the Pledged Account, and all

claim for, collect, receive and receipt for, any and all such interest,
dividends and/or other earnings; and

undertaking or agreement by the Owner to pay such Subsequent Guarantee Fees;

Recoveries; and

expressly understood and agreed that this security interest and assignment shall
automatically attach to any and all future deposits to, earnings from, and
proceeds of the Pledged Account immediately upon deposit or accrual, and all
Guaranty Fees and Recoveries immediately upon the receipt thereof, without the
making or doing of any further act or thing whatsoever. XXXX shall promptly take
all further action, and execute and deliver to the Owner such other documents,
as may be requested from time to time by the Owner to create, evidence, maintain
and effect the Owner's security interest in the Pledged Account and the other
rights pledged hereunder.

Agreement secures (a) the payment and performance of all indebtedness,

to the Owner (or its assignees), pursuant to each of the Guaranty Agreements;
(b) performance by XXXX of the agreements set forth in this Agreement; (c) all

XXXX, under this Agreement or each of the Guaranty Agreements (whether or not
paid or incurred in the context of a state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, or
reorganization proceeding); and (d) any renewals, continuations or extensions of
any of the foregoing (all of which are collectively referred to as the "SECURED

the express prior written consent of the Owner. Payments to XXXX will be by wire

remedies of a secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code (as
the same may be amended from time to time), as well as all rights and remedies
provided by any other applicable law, at law, or in equity. Without limiting the

and make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same.

Owner to whatever extent may be necessary to facilitate full and complete
payment of all amounts owed under each of the Guaranty Agreements. All such
Recoveries received by XXXX shall be remitted to the Trustee (properly endorsed

accompanied by EXHIBIT 2 and deposited in the Pledged Account, for the payment
of all of the Secured Obligations then in default. XXXX agrees not to commingle
any such collections or proceeds with any of its other funds or property and
agrees to hold the same upon an express trust for the Owner until deposited in
the Pledged Account, as aforesaid.
(iii) The Administrator agrees to provide notice to XXXX of
the Administrator's or Owner's exercise of any of its rights under this Section
9(c).
10
(d) TRANSFER OF INTANGIBLES. The Administrator shall have the right to
take possession of any agreement or other document evidencing any of the
Intangibles, and may apply for or seek, on behalf of and as attorney-in-fact for
XXXX, any necessary consent to the assignment, transfer, conveyance, sale,
renewal, reissuance or other disposition of the same, and XXXX shall cooperate
fully with the Administrator in doing so and shall take all actions reasonably
requested by the Administrator in furtherance thereof. XXXX hereby constitutes
and appoints the Administrator its true and lawful attorney (which appointment
is coupled with an interest) with full power of substitution, either in the
Administrator's own name or in the name of XXXX, to assign, transfer and convey,
subject to all requirements of law, any and all of TERI's rights in and to any
of the Intangibles.
(e) DISPOSITION. The Administrator may assign, transfer, convey, any or
all of the Collateral, by public or private sale subject to TERI's rights to
retain a copy of each Related Document now or in the future in TERI's
possession. The Administrator shall provide XXXX with reasonable written notice
of the time and place of any such sale.
(f) PROCEEDS. All proceeds from the sale or other disposition of
Collateral by the Administrator under this Section 9 of this Agreement, and all
other moneys received by the Administrator pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be applied as follows:
(i) First, to the payment of all expenses incurred by the
Administrator in connection with this Agreement or the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder, or any sale or disposition, including, but not limited to the
expenses of taking, advertising, processing, preparing and storing the
Collateral to be sold, all court costs and the Administrator's reasonable legal
fees in connection therewith;
(ii) Second, to the payment of valid Guaranty Claims in
accordance with the terms thereof in the order in which a complete claim
(including all required documentation) is received, treating all claims received
the same day as received at the same time (if there are not sufficient funds in
the Pledged Account to pay all claims payable therefrom received on a given day,
all such claims shall be paid in part, pro rata, from the Pledged Account as
directed by the Administrator); and
(iii) Third, any remainder to be held pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement as continuing security for TERI's payment of the remaining
Secured Obligations.

of any application pursuant to clause (ii) above, such proceeds, monies, or
balances shall be applied by the Administrator to discharge in whole or in part
any unpaid Secured Obligation, notwithstanding any manifestation of an intent to
the contrary expressed in writing or otherwise by XXXX at any time. Upon any
sale of Collateral by the Administrator (whether pursuant to a power of sale
granted by a statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the
Administrator or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge
to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the
11
Administrator or such officer, or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof. Notwithstanding the sale or other disposition of any
Collateral by the Administrator hereunder, XXXX shall remain liable for any
deficiency. Any Loan with respect to which the Owner receives payment in full
hereunder will forthwith be transferred to XXXX on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Guaranty Agreements.
10. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights, remedies, or powers conferred upon
the Owner herein or by law shall be cumulative and concurrent at the option of
the Administrator, and the Administrator may, to whatever extent is reasonably
necessary to cure any default, foreclose or exercise the power of sale or any
other remedy available to it successively upon any default or upon successive
defaults hereunder without the necessity of declaring all sums secured hereby to
be due and payable. Upon any such occasion, the Administrator shall be
authorized to sell or dispose of all or any such part of the Collateral as
provided in this Agreement or pursuant to the Indenture and as permitted by law.
The remaining Collateral shall continue as security for any other sums remaining
due after such sale, lease, or disposition or thereafter to become due or
payable on any of the Secured Obligations.
11. PLEDGE BY THE OWNER; ROLE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR.
(a) XXXX acknowledges that the Owner has pledged all of its right,
title and interest under this Agreement and its interest in the Pledged Account
as collateral security to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Pursuant to
such pledge, all rights of the Owner hereunder, subject to the limitations and
obligations of this Agreement, may be exercised by the Trustee, pursuant to the
terms of the Indenture. Subject to the terms and limitations of this Agreement,
the Administrator, on the Owner's behalf, in accordance with the Indenture,
shall request that the Trustee exercise the Owner's rights and obligations
hereunder, including, without limitation:
(i) The withdrawal of funds from the Pledged Account to pay
the Trustee, as assignee of the Loans, with respect to a Guaranty Claim pursuant
to Section 3(d)(i) hereof;
(ii) The withdrawal of funds pursuant to Section 3(d)(ii)
hereof;
(iii) The investment of funds in the Pledged Account in
Eligible Investments as directed by XXXX from time to time;
(iv) The exercise of the remedies of the Owner on default by
XXXX under Section 9.
(b) The Owner hereby directs XXXX to pay all sums intended to be placed
in the Pledged Account, including, without limitation, all future Recoveries,
directly to the Trustee. The Pledged Account shall be maintained and funds held
therein shall be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments pursuant to and
in accordance with the Indenture. Funds held in the Pledged Account in the form
of bank deposits shall be deposited only with institutions that are federally
insured.
12
(c) The Trustee and the holders of the notes authenticated and
delivered pursuant to the Indenture, are intended third-party beneficiaries of
this Agreement, with rights to enforce the Owner's interests in the same. Such
third-party beneficiaries are not parties hereto and incur no liabilities
hereunder.
(d) The Administrator has been appointed to act for the Owner in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Indenture. The
Administrator has the power and authority to take any action and give any notice
required or permitted by the Owner hereunder and XXXX may deal with
Administrator as if it were dealing with the Owner. Any notice required to be
given to the Owner by XXXX shall also be given to Administrator. The
Administrator will request instructions from the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the Noteholders for any non-ministerial action that the Administrator is
required to take under this Agreement.
12. POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL. Throughout the term of this Agreement,
possession of the Collateral shall be maintained by the Trustee, or its agent or
nominee (if the Trustee so chooses from time to time), as necessary and
appropriate to perfect the Owner's, and, while the Indenture is in effect, the
Trustee's security interest therein as provided in, and subject to the terms of,
this Agreement. Upon termination of the Indenture and satisfaction in full of
all debt secured thereby and release of the Pledged Account to the Owner, the
Administrator may designate an alternative collateral agent to hold the Pledged
Account.
13. TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS. This Agreement and the security
interests under this Agreement shall terminate when all amounts due and owing on
account of, and all obligations and liabilities of XXXX in respect of, the
Secured Obligations shall have been fully performed, satisfied and paid as
provided in this Agreement and the Guaranty Agreements. At such time, the
Administrator shall promptly reassign and deliver to XXXX, without recourse or
representation, against TERI's receipt, all Collateral then held by the Owner or
anyone claiming by, through or under the Owner. XXXX shall execute and if
necessary deliver to the Administrator for execution, and the Administrator
shall promptly cause to be filed at the Owner's expense, termination statements
in respect of any financing statements filed under this Agreement. The
Administrator agrees to fulfill the Owner's obligations to file such termination
statements at its own cost and expense. The security interests hereunder shall
terminate as to all Collateral lawfully withdrawn by or paid to XXXX hereunder,
upon the occurrence of such withdrawal or payment.
14. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

file this Agreement and any financing statement reflecting the content of this
Agreement for record in any governmental office.

records and such other information regarding the Collateral which the
Administrator may reasonably request.

TERI's name or its jurisdiction of organization or any physical loss,
destruction, or damage to any material portion of the Collateral. XXXX shall

16. WAIVER. No delays or omissions by any party hereto in exercising or
enforcing any of its respective rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
discretions ("RIGHTS AND REMEDIES") shall operate as or constitute a waiver of
any such Rights and Remedies. No waiver by a party of any default under this
Agreement or each of the Guaranty Agreements shall operate as a waiver of any
other default under this Agreement. No single or partial exercise by a party of
any of its Rights and Remedies shall preclude the other of further
16
exercise of such Rights and Remedies. No waiver or modification of a party's
Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any
subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. All Rights and
Remedies shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and a party may

contains confidential information and agree not to disclose any of the terms and
conditions relating to this Agreement and the Pledged Account without the prior
express written consent of the others. The provisions of the foregoing sentence

any employees, officers, directors or representatives of the parties to effect
the purpose of the Student Loan Program; (b) by XXXX and the Administrator to
the affiliates and agents of either of them, and other third parties, to
effectuate this Agreement, provided that such parties are under a corresponding
written obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Owner's information;
and (c) to the attorneys and accountants of the parties on a confidential basis.
This provision shall, further, not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of
any information relating to this Agreement (i) that is now or in the future
becomes public information, (ii) as may be required by applicable law or this
Agreement, each of the Guaranty Agreements or the Indenture, (iii) to the
underwriters and rating agencies, their employees, trustees and attorneys and to

sale, securitization or other financing of any of the Loans, (iv) in any private
placement memorandum in connection with the sale, securitization or other
financing of any of the Loans, and (v) as necessary to perfect or enforce the
security interest in the Collateral granted hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement
shall limit or restrict XXXX, the Administrator, or any affiliate of the
Administrator (A) in their exchange and use of information as among them, to the
extent such exchange or use is governed by other agreements; or (B) from using,
manipulating, sharing and disclosing Loan information that has been
de-identified so that the identity of the borrower, the lender, or the holder of
