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 Collection Account
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 on behalf of Owner 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be withdrawn or paid to the Owner or XXXX or any other person or entity unless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 under Section 8, whether or not such a
Direction Letter is received), the Owner shall withdraw from the Pledged Account
and deposit in the Collection Account 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 the form of Exhibit
3
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, notify the Trustee of such denial 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.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Owner shall pay XXXX from funds in the Pledged Account an
amount equal to 0.46% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
Loans that are guaranteed by XXXX and purchased by the Owner on the Closing
Date.
(b) If
on any
Distribution Date under the Indenture, the product of (i) the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of and earned interest on Loans held by or pledged
to the Trustee, multiplied by (ii) a factor equal to sixteen hundredths (.16)
(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 the 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 (x) the Pledged Account and all amounts on deposit
or to be deposited therein as described in Section 2 of this Agreement,

15th
day of

a
grant of security interest in defaulted Loans. In furtherance thereof, XXXX

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:

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 respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same.
(ii) XXXX
agrees that all Recoveries shall be held by the Owner to whatever extent may
be
necessary to facilitate full and complete payment of all amounts owed under

on
the 15th
day of
each month, for Recoveries received during the preceding month, and accompanied
by Exhibit

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).

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.

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 or Trustee 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.

Administrator shall apply any such proceeds, monies, or balances in accordance
with this Agreement promptly upon its receipt of the same. In respect 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 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; and
(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 by the Trustee in accordance
with 8.02(c)(F) of the Indenture 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.
(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 (pursuant to the Indenture)
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.

or
times and in such order of preference as that party in its sole discretion
may
determine.
17. Counterparts.

either of them, and other third parties, to effectuate this Agreement, provided
that such parties are under a corresponding written obligation to maintain
the

accountants of the parties on a confidential basis. This provision shall,
further, not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of any information relating

Guaranty Agreements or the Indenture, (iii) to the underwriters and rating

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

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

security to the Trustee, and the Trustee and certain other persons are intended
beneficiaries of this Agreement.

The
section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and are not to affect the construction or to be taken into consideration in
interpreting this Agreement.
