Commerce Act (if applicable) or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act, as so (and if) in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The

International Interest under the Cape Town Convention) or that the Collateral Agent may request,
in order to perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be
granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such
Grantor will

desirable, for the registration thereof), Filing Statements or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices (including any assignment of

interests and other rights granted or purported to be granted to the Collateral Agent
hereby under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction or under the Cape Town

authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and
amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that a
carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing
statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing
statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor other than the Parent hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of
the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such
wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement. Nothing

or other Liens over any Aircraft or Engine (other than as set forth in clause (b) above).




     SECTION 4.8. Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. Each Grantor other than the
Parent will maintain all of its Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts only with the Depositary

contemplated by the Loan Documents in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity
and first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Liens created or intended to be created by
the Loan Documents (except the perfection of any security interest in any Aircraft or any Engines
under any Applicable Law other than to the extent permitted (a) by the filing of financing
statements under Article 9 of the UCC or (b) under the Cape Town Convention by the registration of
an International Interest with the International Registry). Each Grantor other than the Parent

any of the information contained in the Schedules hereto and to the AS Joinder and Security
Agreement Supplements and Additional Collateral Certificate resulting from any transaction not
prohibited by the Loan Documents, the applicable Grantor other than the Parent will deliver to
the Collateral Agent a certified supplement to such Schedules, AS Joinder and Security Agreement

and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give the notice referred to in Section
4.1.5(b), such Grantor will have the exclusive voting power with respect to any Investment
Property constituting Collateral and the Collateral Agent will, upon the written request of such
Grantor, promptly deliver such proxies and other documents, if any, as shall be reasonably
requested by such Grantor which are necessary to allow such Grantor to exercise that voting power;
provided that no vote shall be cast, or consent, waiver, or ratification given, or action
taken by such Grantor that would impair any such Collateral or be inconsistent with or violate any
provision of any Loan Document.


     SECTION 5.2. Actions by Collateral Agent.





     (a) Nothing contained in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the
Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
unless it is indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction. The Collateral Agent shall not be
required to take any action under this Security Agreement, nor shall any other provision of this
Security Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Collateral Agent to take any action, if the
Collateral Agent shall have been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms
hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.




     (b) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take or refrain from taking
any action under, or in connection with, this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except as expressly provided by the terms of this Security Agreement or such other Loan Document
and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Security Agreement or any other Loan
Document against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent agrees that it will, in its individual
capacity and at its own cost and expense (but without any right of indemnity in respect of any
such cost or expense under Section 5.5 or otherwise) promptly take such action as may be
necessary to duly discharge all Liens on any of the Collateral that result from claims against it
in its individual capacity not related to its activities hereunder or any other Loan Document. The
Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
in good faith in accordance with any direction of the Agent given under this Security Agreement or
any other Loan Document.

     SECTION 5.3. Replacement of Collateral Agent; Appointment of Successor.




     (a) Subject to clause (f) of this Section 5.3, the Collateral Agent may
resign at any time upon ninety (90) days’ prior notice to the Agent, such resignation to be
effective upon the later of the date specified in such notice or the date a successor Collateral
Agent has been appointed by the Agent or by a court (as provided in clause (e) of this Section 5.3) and has accepted such appointment. The Agent may remove the Collateral Agent for cause by so notifying the Collateral Agent and may appoint a successor Collateral
Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have cause to remove the
Collateral Agent if (a) the Collateral Agent fails to satisfy or otherwise comply with Section
5.4; (b) the Collateral Agent fails to satisfy any of its material duties hereunder, (c) the
Collateral Agent is subject to an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; (d) a receiver or other
public officer takes charge of the Collateral Agent or its property; or (e) the Collateral Agent
otherwise becomes incapable of acting as a Collateral Agent.




     (b) If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
the Collateral Agent for any reason (the Collateral Agent in such event being referred to herein
as the retiring Collateral Agent), the Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral
Agent.




     (c) Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the
corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms
of Section 5.4, be the Collateral Agent hereunder upon the prior written consent of the
Agent.




     (d) A successor Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment as the
Collateral Agent hereunder to the retiring Collateral Agent, the Agent and the Borrower, and the
successor Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent
under this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The successor Collateral Agent shall
mail a notice of its succession to the Agent. The retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer
all Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent, together with all of the retiring Collateral
Agent’s rights under any and all of the Collateral held by it as the Collateral Agent to the
successor Collateral Agent. All monies and other amounts owed to the retiring Collateral Agent
shall be paid by the Borrower promptly upon demand of the retiring Collateral Agent.




     (e) If a successor Collateral Agent does not take office within forty-five (45) days after the
retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Collateral Agent, the Agent or the
Borrower may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Collateral Agent.




     (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent shall be
effective unless and until a successor has been appointed.

[Pledge and Security Agreement]




     SECTION 5.4. Collateral Agent Requirement; Eligibility. The Collateral Agent shall be
a corporation or other institution organized and doing business under the laws of any State of the
United States or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000 and shall not be a Competitor. Such institution shall be a citizen of the United
States and shall be authorized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or of the
District of Columbia to exercise corporate trust powers and shall be subject to supervision or
examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authorities. If such institution publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authorities, then, for the purposes of this Section
5.4, the combined capital and surplus of such institution shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.



     SECTION 5.5. Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party, and
their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact
of the foregoing (collectively the “Indemnitees”), in each case whether or not otherwise
indemnified, and save, protect, defend and hold each Indemnitee harmless from any and all
liability, obligation, loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements; provided that the indemnification for attorneys’ fees and disbursements
under this Section 5.5 incurred in any judicial or administrative proceeding where the
Borrower has assumed responsibility for and control thereof in accordance with the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 5.5 shall be limited to one law firm for the applicable
Indemnitees, unless an Indemnitee reasonably believes that it has rights or interests different
from the other Indemnitees, or such representation could create, in the reasonable opinion of the
Agent, any Lender or their counsel, a conflict of interest for such law firm, in which case such
Indemnitee’s separate attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be indemnified), penalties, causes of
action, suits, claims (including claims based on strict liability in tort or patent infringement)
or judgments of whatsoever kind and nature (“Losses”) imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Indemnitee in any way arising out of, relating to or resulting from or based upon (i)
any Loan Document or any document contemplated thereby and payments made pursuant thereto or any
transaction contemplated thereby or the exercise of rights and remedies thereunder, excluding any
costs and expenses related to the transfer of a Loan, (ii) any breach by any Grantor or the
Servicer of any Loan Document, (iii) any Lease Document or the exercise of rights and remedies
thereunder, or any breach by a Lessee thereunder, (iv) any Aircraft, any Engine, any Part or any
other portion of the Collateral or any Grantor’s acquisition, purchase, sale, selection, design,
financing, condition, location, storage, modification, repair, maintenance, possession,
registration, delivery, nondelivery, transportation, transfer, rental, lease, use, operation,
control, ownership or disposition of any Aircraft, Engine, Part or any other portion of the
Collateral or any interest therein and (v) with respect to any Protected Party which is the
Collateral Agent or its Affiliates, participation in the transaction contemplated hereby.



     The Borrower shall, no later than ten (10) days following demand, reimburse any Indemnitee
for any sum or sums expended with respect to any of the foregoing or, upon request from any
Indemnitee, shall pay such amounts directly. Without duplication of any amounts payable under
this Section 5.5, any payment made to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 5.5 shall be adjusted to such amount as will, after taking into account all Taxes
imposed with respect to the accrual or receipt of such payment (net of any Tax savings) (as the
same may be increased pursuant to this sentence), equal the amount of the payment. To the



22









 



[Pledge and Security Agreement]



extent that the Borrower in fact indemnifies any Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.5 (other than in respect of Taxes), the Borrower shall be subrogated to
such Indemnitee’s rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine
the settlement of claims therein.




     The indemnities contained in this Section 5.5 shall not be affected by and shall
survive any termination of this Agreement, the Lease Assignment and each other Loan Document or
the repayment of the Loans and the occurrence of the Termination Date.



     Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 5.5 to the contrary, the Borrower
shall not indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee under this Section 5.5 in respect of
any (a) Taxes (except to the extent provided in the second paragraph of this Section 5.5),
(b) Losses which would not have occurred but for the willful misconduct, bad faith or the gross
negligence of such Indemnitee including without limitation the willful breach of any express
obligation to the Borrower under the Loan documents; and (c) losses which result from, arise out
of, or are attributable to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code caused by the incorrectness of a Lender’s representation in Section 6.02 of the Warehouse
Agreement or a breach of a Lender’s covenant in Section 8.03 of the Warehouse Agreement.



     If a claim of the type described above is made against an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee has
notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly, upon receiving such notice, give notice of such
claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release
the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure
results in an increase in the Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The Borrower shall
be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the
relevant Indemnitee in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim of
the type described in clause (iii) or (iv) of first paragraph of this Section
5.5 (other than with respect to Taxes), to assume responsibility for and control thereof.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings: (w) while
a Facility Default described in clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.01(h) of the Warehouse Agreement,
Facility Event of Default, Amortization Event or Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and
be continuing; (x) if such proceedings will involve any risk of criminal liability on the part of
such Indemnitee or a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any part of the Collateral;
(y) where the interests of the Borrower or any other ALC Party are adverse to such Indemnitee, as
determined by counsel for such Indemnitee or (z) to the extent that the Indemnitee has defenses
available to it which are not available to the Borrower and allowing the Borrower to assert such
defenses will be prejudicial to the interests of such Indemnitee; provided that the
limitation on the Borrower’s ability to control such judicial or administrative proceeding shall
apply only to those aspects of such proceeding which address issues with respect to which such
defenses are available.



     The relevant Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information reasonably requested
by the Borrower as is necessary or advisable for the Borrower to control or participate in any
proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 5.5. Such Indemnitee shall not enter
into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any covered claim without the prior written
consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be protected with respect to such covered claim.

[Pledge and Security Agreement]




     SECTION 5.6. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place
and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or as otherwise authorized, from time to
time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion during the continuance of a Facility Event of Default, to
take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including:




     (a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of
the Collateral;




     (b) the right to make claim for, receive and collect all Cash Flow, income, revenues,
issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and other sums and Proceeds payable
or receivable under any Lease or pursuant thereto (excluding Excepted Payments), to make all
waivers and agreements, to give and receive all notices and other instruments, to take all
action upon the happening of a Lease Event of Default under any Lease, including the
commencement, conduct and consummation of proceedings at law or in equity as shall be
permitted under any provision of any Lease or by Applicable Law, and to do all other things
which the Borrower, any Aircraft Subsidiary or any “lessor” is or may become entitled to do
under any Lease;




     (c) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and
Chattel Paper constituting Collateral, in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;




     (d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the
Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any
of the Collateral; and




     (e) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor
hereunder.


Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted
pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Upon the request of the
Collateral Agent, each Grantor will provide documentation evidencing such power of attorney and
such further powers of attorney on the same terms as set forth above.




     SECTION 5.7. Collateral Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Collateral
Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the
Protected Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such
powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for
moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or responsibility for




     (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not
the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or



24









 



[Pledge and Security Agreement]





     (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining to any Collateral.



     SECTION 5.8. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords
its own property.



ARTICLE VI

THE PROTECTED PARTIES




     SECTION 6.1. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each Protected Party agrees that it
shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in
any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) the priority, validity or
enforceability of a Lien held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the above parties in the
Collateral in the priority provided for hereunder, and the priority of payments from proceeds of
Collateral set forth in clauses (a) through (c) of Section 3.03 of the
Warehouse Agreement.



     SECTION 6.2. Insurance. The Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject
to the rights of the Grantors under the Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any hull
insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any
award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Collateral pursuant to Section 7.8(a)(ii) of the Warehouse Agreement. All proceeds of any such hull policy and any such
award if in respect to the Collateral shall be deposited in the Additional Collateral Account for
the benefit of the Protected Parties.



     SECTION 6.3. Preference Issues. If the Agent or Collateral Agent, in each case on
behalf of the Protected Parties, or any Protected Party is required in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise with respect to any Grantor to turn over or otherwise pay to
the estate of any such Person any amount as a preference (a “Recovery”), then the
Termination Date shall be deemed not to have occurred, the Obligations shall be reinstated to the
extent of such Recovery and the Agent and Collateral Agent, in each case on behalf of the
Protected Parties, or such Protected Party shall be entitled to the payment in full of such
Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Security Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, each such Loan Document shall be
reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release,
discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of
reinstatement.



     SECTION 6.4. Reliance. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the
Protected Parties and all loans and other extensions of credit and all agreements made or deemed
made on and after the date hereof by the Protected Parties to the Borrower shall be deemed to have
been given and made in reliance upon this Security Agreement.



     SECTION 6.5. No Waiver of Lien Priorities.




     (a) To the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, no right of any party hereto
to enforce any provision of this Security Agreement shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by



25









 



[Pledge and Security Agreement]





any act or failure to act by any other party (including the Collateral Agent acting on
behalf of the other Protected Parties), or by any noncompliance by any Person with the
terms, provisions and covenants of this Security Agreement, any of the Loan Documents,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which any party may have or be otherwise charged with;




     (b) Each Protected Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law,
that no Protected Party shall have any liability to any other, and each Protected Party, to
the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, hereby waives any claim against any
Protected Party arising out of any and all actions which such Protected Parties may take or
permit or omit to take with respect to: (i) the Loan Documents (ii) the collection of the
Obligations or (iii) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of,
the Collateral, but only so long as such acts or omissions do not contravene clauses
(a) through (c) of Section 3.03 of the Warehouse Agreement.




     (c) Each Protected Party agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise
claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may
otherwise be available under applicable law or any other similar rights a junior secured
creditor may have under Applicable Law.



     SECTION 6.6. No Proceedings Against Grantors. Each Protected Party hereby agrees that
it will not institute against any Grantor, or join any other Person in instituting against any
Grantor, any Insolvency or Liquidation proceeding from the Closing Date until one year plus one
day following the Termination Date.



     SECTION 6.7. No Proceeding Against the Conduit Lenders. Each party hereto hereby
agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit Lender, or join any other Person in
instituting against any Conduit Lender, an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding from the Closing
Date until one year plus one day following the last day on which all commercial paper notes and
other publicly or privately placed indebtedness for borrowed money of such Conduit Lender shall
have been indefeasibly paid in full.



ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES




     SECTION 7.1. Certain Remedies. Without limiting the rights of the Agent and the
Collateral Agent under Section 7.4, if any Facility Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and the Agent shall have declared, pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Warehouse
Agreement, all of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans to be due and payable:




     (a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral or any other
Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement), in addition to other rights and
remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral or
any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement)) and also may



26









 



[Pledge and Security Agreement]





     (i) take possession of any Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the
Warehouse Agreement) not already in its possession without demand and without legal
process;




     (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense
and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral or

by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be
designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;




     (iii) require any Grantor to promptly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such
instruments of title and other documents as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable
to enable the Collateral Agent, at such time or times and place or places as the Collateral Agent
may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as
defined in the Warehouse Agreement); provided that, if any Grantor shall for any reason
fail to execute and deliver such instruments and documents after the request by the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Agent may obtain a judgment conferring on the Collateral Agent the right to
immediate possession and requiring such Grantor to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents to the Collateral Agent; provided, further, that all expenses of
obtaining such judgment or of pursuing, searching for and taking such property shall,
until paid by the Grantors, be secured by the Lien of this Security
Agreement;




     (iv) (x) as a matter of right, appoint a receiver or agent or representative (who may be the
Collateral Agent or any successor or nominee thereof) for all or any part of the Collateral or any
other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement), whether such receivership or agency or
representation be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as
defined in the Warehouse Agreement) or the taking of possession thereof, the exercise of remedies
under this Security Agreement or any Lease or otherwise, and each Grantor hereby consents to the
appointment of such a receiver or agent or representative and will not oppose any such
appointment; and (y) any receiver or agent or representative appointed for all or any part of the Collateral or
any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) shall be entitled to exercise
all rights of the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to the extent provided in such appointment and shall be entitled to exercise all
the powers and pursue all the remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and with respect
to the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement); and




     (v) subject to the provisions of the relevant Lease, including the Lessee’s right to quiet
enjoyment, enter onto the property where any Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in
the Warehouse Agreement) is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal
process.



27









 



[Pledge and Security Agreement]





     (b) The Collateral Agent may




     (i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the
Warehouse Agreement) into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, with or without
disclosing that such Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) is
subject to the Lien hereunder,




     (ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as
defined in the Warehouse Agreement) to make payment to the Collateral Agent of any amount due
or to become due thereunder,




     (iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to each
Depository Account;




     (iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the
Warehouse Agreement) by suit or otherwise, and in a commercially reasonable manner, surrender,
release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period
(whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with
respect thereto,




     (v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name (except for the
Parent) to allow collection of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse
Agreement),




     (vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as
defined in the Warehouse Agreement), and




     (vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock
powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the
Collateral.




     (c) Upon taking of possession pursuant hereto, the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, at
the expense of the Borrower, make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs,
replacements and alterations to any of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the
Warehouse Agreement), as it may deem proper and commercially reasonable. In such case, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to maintain, use, operate, store,
lease, control or manage the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse
Agreement) and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights and powers of each Grantor
relating to the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement), as the
Collateral Agent shall deem best, including the right, subject to the provisions of any relevant
Lease (so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing thereunder), to
enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the maintenance, use, operation, storage,
leasing, control, management or disposition of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined
in the Warehouse Agreement) or any part thereof as the Collateral Agent may determine.



28









 



[Pledge and Security Agreement]





     (d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to collect and receive directly all tolls, rents
(including all amounts due under any Lease, other than Excepted Payments), revenues, issues,
income, products and profits of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the
Warehouse Agreement) and every part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the right of the
Collateral Agent under any provision of this Security Agreement to collect and receive all cash
held by, or required to be deposited with, any Grantor hereunder. Such tolls, rents (including
Rent), revenues, issues, income, products and profits may be applied to pay the expenses of the
use, operation, storage, leasing, control, management or disposition of any Collateral or any
other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) or any part thereof or of conducting the
business thereof, and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements, and to make all payments which the Collateral Agent may be required or may elect to
make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance or other proper charges upon the Collateral or any
other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) or any part thereof (including the
employment of engineers and accountants to examine, inspect and report upon the properties and
books and records of each Grantor other than the Parent), and all other payments which the
Collateral Agent may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement, as
well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of the Collateral Agent, and of all
Persons engaged and employed by the Collateral Agent or may, at the sole discretion of the
Collateral Agent, be applied against any Obligation.




     (e) (i) The Collateral Agent may sell, assign, transfer and deliver the whole, or from time to
time to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any part of the Collateral or any other Collateral
(as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) or any interest therein, at any private sale or public
auction with or without demand, advertisement or notice (except as herein required or as may be
required by Applicable Law) of the date, time and place of sale and any adjustment thereof for cash
or credit or other property for immediate or future delivery and for such price or prices and on
such terms as the Collateral Agent may determine, or as may be required by Applicable Law. It is
agreed that ten (10) days’ notice to the applicable Grantor of the date, time and place (and terms,
in the case of a private sale) of any proposed sale by the Collateral Agent of the Collateral or
any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) or any part thereof or interest
therein is reasonable. The Collateral Agent may be a purchaser of the Collateral or any other
Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) or any part thereof or any interest therein at
any sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise. The Collateral
Agent shall, upon any such purchase, acquire good title to the property so purchased, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, free of all rights of redemption. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse
Agreement) regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.




     (ii) Upon any sale of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse
Agreement) or any part thereof or interest therein, whether



29









 



[Pledge and Security Agreement]





pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise, the receipt of the official making the
sale by judicial proceeding or of the Collateral Agent shall be sufficient discharge to the
purchaser for the purchase money and neither such official nor such purchaser shall be obliged
to see to the application thereof.




     (iii) Any sale of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse
Agreement) or any part thereof or any interest therein, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power
of sale or otherwise hereunder, shall forever be a perpetual bar against each Grantor to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law. Subject to the provisions of this Security Agreement and each
other Loan Document, each Grantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) covenants that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit
of advantage of for itself any appraisement, valuation, stay or extension law or law requiring the
provision of a bond in a repossession or foreclosure action wherever enacted, nor at any time
hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Security Agreement or
the execution of any power granted herein to the Collateral Agent, or the absolute sale of the
Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement), or any part thereof,
or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale under this Section 7.1; and each
Grantor for itself, for all who may claim under them, so far as any of them now or
thereafter lawfully may, waive all right to have the Collateral or any other Collateral (as
defined in the Warehouse Agreement) marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agree that any
court having jurisdiction to foreclose this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document may
order the sale of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement)
as an entirety.




     (f) If the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power
or remedy under this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, entry or
otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall
have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case each Grantor,
each Lender, and the Collateral Agent shall, subject to any binding determination in such
proceeding, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder or thereunder with respect
to the Collateral and any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement), and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceedings had

applied by the Collateral Agent against all or any part of the Obligations, as set forth

     SECTION 7.2. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of
any of the Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) under
Section 7.1 whenever a Facility Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in
connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any
violation of Applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number
of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have
certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will
represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral or any other Collateral (as defined in the
Warehouse Agreement)), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the
purchaser by any Governmental Entity or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such
compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to such
Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral or any other
Collateral (as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) is sold in compliance with any such limitation
or restriction.



     SECTION 7.3. Protection of Collateral. The Collateral Agent may from time to time, at
its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform under this Agreement after being
requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Facility Event of Default) and the Collateral Agent
may from time to time take any other action which the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary
for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or any other Collateral
(as defined in the Warehouse Agreement) or of its security interest therein.



     SECTION 7.4. Replacement of the Servicer. The rights of the Grantors under the
Servicing Agreement have been assigned to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof and are part of the Collateral. Such rights include, without limitation, the right to
replace the Servicer under the circumstances set forth in the Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding Section 7.1 or any other provision of this Security Agreement, the
parties hereto agree that the rights of the Grantors to replace the Servicer under the
Servicing Agreement may be exercised by the Agent, or by the Collateral Agent at the direction of
the Agent, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event or the resignation of the
Servicer, irrespective of whether a Facility Event of Default shall have occurred or shall be
continuing.
