2.         Creation and Funding of the Pledged Account.  Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Owner shall establish with the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture an account (the “Pledged Account”) for the purpose of depositing upon receipt portions of the Guaranty Fees, Recoveries and earnings as provided in this Section 2.  The Pledged Account shall be funded (a) by transfer of all amounts held on the Closing Date in the Existing Pledged Account that relate to the Loans being purchased on the Closing Date, determined as set forth in each of the Account Security Agreements, (b) by TERI with all Guaranty Fees payable on the Closing Date with respect to the Loans being purchased, and (c) by TERI with all Recoveries with respect to Loans on

 (a)       Any and all Guaranty Fees previously paid by the 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 the Closing Date as set forth in each of the Account Security Agreements;

 (c)       All Recoveries, which Recoveries shall be remitted by or on behalf of TERI 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 Collection Account of the Indenture any amounts owed by TERI under each of the Guaranty Agreements for Guaranty Claims as provided in Section 3(d)(i) hereof.  The Owner understands and agrees that TERI 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 TERI under Section 8 hereof continuing, the provisions of Section 9 hereof shall apply.


 


 (b)       Prior to the occurrence of a default by TERI under Section 8 hereof, TERI 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 TERI 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 TERI and not of the Owner, and shall be so treated by TERI.


 


 (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, TERI shall be entitled to the release of Earnings from the Pledged Account equal to the taxes actually paid by TERI with respect to the income on the Pledged Account.  TERI 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 TERI 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 TERI 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 TERI 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 TERI from funds in the Pledged Account an amount equal to 0.90% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans that are guaranteed by TERI 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 TERI 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.  TERI hereby pledges, assigns and sets over to the Owner, as security for payment by TERI 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 the 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 the Closing Date; and (iii) all Recoveries, which Recoveries shall be remitted by or on behalf of TERI 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 deemed to include a grant of security interest in defaulted Loans.  In furtherance thereof, TERI 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:


 


 (a)       All personal property comprising and/or contained in the Pledged Account, as provided in this Agreement, both tangible and intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by TERI and wheresoever located, including without limitation:


 


 (i)        All contract rights, claims, instruments, notes and accounts, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all of the same evidencing or representing indebtedness due or to become due to TERI (all hereinafter called the “Accounts”);


 


 (ii)        All funds and investments thereof, whether in the form of certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Treasury Notes, investment grade commercial paper, U.S. Treasury Bonds, Federal agency notes or other investments, securities (whether certificated or uncertificated and specifically including any securities which are purchased through and for which records are maintained on a book entry system through any financial intermediary (as defined in § 8-313 of the Uniform Commercial Code)), payment intangibles and general intangibles, whether now existing or hereafter arising and wheresoever located, or otherwise (all hereinafter called the “Intangibles”);


 


 (iii)       All right, title and interest of TERI in or to all instruments and documents covering or relating to the above described property, including but not limited to, all books, records, computer printouts, tapes, disks, ledger sheets, files and other data (all such instruments and documents being called the “Related Documents”);


 


 (iv)       All interest, dividends and/or other earnings of any kind which are paid with respect to or derived from the Pledged Account, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, and the present and continuing right to make claim for, collect, receive and receipt for, any and all such interest, dividends and/or other earnings; and


 



	
            (v)
 	
            All the proceeds of all of the foregoing;
 







 









 


 (b)       All contract and other rights of TERI to receive payment of Guaranty Fees, other than the TERI Guarantee Fee Entitlement, from the Owner under each of the Guaranty Agreements; TERI’s rights to receive subsequent Guarantee Fees from the Owner pursuant to such section, and any separate undertaking or agreement by the Owner to pay such subsequent Guarantee Fees;


 



	
            (c)
 	
            All Recoveries and all rights of TERI to receive or collect Recoveries; and
 



 



	
            (d)
 	
            All proceeds of the foregoing.
 



 


All of the foregoing property in which the Owner has been granted a security interest is herein collectively referred to as “Collateral.”  It is 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.  TERI 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.


 


6.         Secured Obligations.  The security interest of the Owner under this Agreement secures (a) the payment and performance of all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of TERI arising at any time, now or in the future, to the Owner (or its assignees), pursuant to each of the Guaranty Agreements; (b) performance by TERI of the agreements set forth in this Agreement; (c) all payments made or expenses incurred by the Owner (or its assignees), including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, in the exercise, preservation or enforcement of any of the rights, powers or remedies of the Owner (or its assignees), or in the enforcement of the obligations of TERI, 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 Obligations”).


 


7.         Restrictions on the Pledged Account.  TERI shall not (except as provided in Sections 3(d)(ii) and (4)) be paid by the Owner, at the direction of the Administrator, any funds from or further assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Pledged Account or any portion of the Pledged Account to any individual, person, entity or other third party without the express prior written consent of the Administrator.  Payments to TERI will be by wire transfer unless TERI requests, in writing, another reasonable form of payment.


 


8.         Default.  TERI shall be in default of this Agreement if TERI fails to remit to the Owner from the Pledged Account or otherwise, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Guaranty Agreements, the principal balance (including capitalized fees and interest) and accrued interest and late fees on any Loan as to which a Guaranty Event (as defined in each of the Guaranty Agreements) has occurred and as to which the conditions set forth in each of the Guaranty Agreements to payment of a Guaranty Claim have been satisfied, and if such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days.  Either TERI or the 


 









Owner shall be in default of this Agreement if (a) any representation, warranty, or statement made by such party in or pursuant to this Agreement or each of the Guaranty Agreements is found to be false or erroneous in any material respect, or (b) such party shall fail or omit to perform or observe any material covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement or each of the Guaranty Agreements, and if such circumstance, failure or omission (if susceptible of cure) remains uncured for thirty (30) days.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default by TERI, and while such default is continuing, the Owner shall cease disbursing any funds at the request of TERI except to pay Guaranty Claims.


 


9.         Remedies Upon Default.  The Owner shall have all of the rights and 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 generality of the foregoing, the Administrator shall also have the right, during the term of this Agreement, to do any or all of the following upon a default and until any such default is cured:


 


 (a)       Acceleration.  Without any notice or demand, the Administrator may declare any or all Secured Obligations then in default to be immediately due and payable.


 


 (b)       Possession.  Without notice, demand, or hearing, any right to which is hereby waived by TERI, the Administrator shall have full power and authority to hold, sequester, set-off or withdraw any and all funds from the Pledged Account and to (i) direct such funds for application to any Loan as to which a Guarantee Event has occurred and TERI has failed to remit the principal balance (including capitalized fees and interest) and accrued interest and late fees thereon in accordance with the terms and conditions of each of the Guaranty Agreements or (ii) hold the funds in the Pledged Account without making any disbursements of any kind to TERI as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and to apply the funds to any Loan if and when a Guarantee Event occurs and TERI fails to promptly remit to the Owner the
unpaid principal balance (including capitalized fees and interest) and accrued interest and late fees thereon in accordance with the conditions of each of the Guaranty Agreements.

 (i)        TERI hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrator (and upon assignment hereof, the Trustee) 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 TERI, to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive, receipt and give acquittance for, any and all moneys due or to become due to TERI that are part of the Collateral; to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment of money payable to TERI on account thereof, to settle, compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, or proceeding with respect thereto; and to sell, assign, pledge, transfer and make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same.


 


 (ii)        TERI 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 each of the Guaranty Agreements.  All such Recoveries received by TERI shall 


 









be remitted to the Trustee (properly endorsed for collection where required), not later than the next Business Day, and accompanied by Exhibit 2 and deposited in the Pledged Account, for the payment of all of the Secured Obligations then in default.  TERI 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 TERI of the Administrator’s or Owner’s exercise of any of its rights under this Section 9(c).


 


 (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 TERI, any necessary consent to the assignment, transfer, conveyance, sale, renewal, reissuance or other disposition of the same, and TERI shall cooperate fully with the Administrator in doing so and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Administrator in furtherance thereof.  TERI 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 TERI, 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 TERI 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.


 


 









 


The 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 TERI 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, TERI shall remain liable for any deficiency.  Any Loan with respect to which the Owner receives payment in full hereunder will forthwith be transferred to TERI 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)       TERI 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 TERI from time to time; and






 









 


 (iv)       The exercise of the remedies of the Owner on default by TERI under Section 9.


 


 (b)       The Owner hereby directs TERI 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.


 


 (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 TERI may deal with Administrator as if it were dealing with the Owner.  Any notice required to be given to the Owner by TERI 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 TERI 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 TERI, without recourse or representation, against TERI’s receipt, all Collateral then held by the Owner or anyone claiming by, through or under the Owner.  TERI 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 TERI hereunder, upon the occurrence of such withdrawal or payment.

            (b)
 	
            TERI represents and warrants that:
 



 


 (i)        Except for the security interests of the Owner created under this Agreement, TERI is and will be the owner of the Collateral, whenever acquired or arising, free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims, encumbrances, charges, set-offs, defenses and counterclaims;


 


 (ii)        This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) in effect in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) in the Collateral in favor of the Owner, which security interest is prior to all other liens, charges, security interests, mortgages or other encumbrances, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from TERI;


 


 (iii)       The Collateral constitutes a “deposit account” or “investment property” within the meaning of the applicable UCC, except to the extent that the Collateral constitutes Recoveries, in which case, the Collateral is “payment intangibles” and cash.

TERI has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against TERI that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Owner hereunder or that has been terminated.  TERI is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against TERI.


 


The foregoing representations and warranties in this Section 14(b) shall continue in full force and effect until termination of this Agreement.


 


 (c)       The foregoing representations and warranties are subject to (i) the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with the general principles of equity; (ii) the valid exercise of the police powers of the several states of the United States of America and of the constitutional powers of the United States of America and (iii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally.


 



	
            15.
 	
            Covenants of TERI.  TERI agrees and covenants with the Owner as follows:
 



 


 (a)       Maintenance and Use of Collateral.  TERI shall not permit the Collateral to be used in violation of any of the Guaranty Agreements or this Agreement.


 


 (b)       Taxes.  TERI shall, if so obligated, pay and discharge when due all taxes, assessments, license or permit fees, levies and other charges upon the Collateral, and TERI shall, if so obligated, also pay and discharge when due all other taxes, levies, or assessments relating to its business which, if unpaid, might give rise to any penalty, security interest, lien, charge, levy, assessment, or encumbrance in, on or against the Collateral.  The Collateral and all income and/or proceeds of the Collateral shall be, and be treated by TERI as being, the property of TERI, subject to the pledge and security interest created hereunder, and TERI shall report the Collateral and all such proceeds as its sole property until, unless and except to the extent any of the Collateral is paid and transferred pursuant to
each of the Guaranty Agreements and this Agreement.


 


 (c)       No Encumbrance.  Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, TERI shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Collateral or any interest therein until all of the Secured Obligations are fully satisfied.  TERI shall protect and defend the Collateral from and against any and all claims, demands, or legal proceedings brought or asserted by any party other than the Trustee.


 


 (d)       Maintenance of Security Interest.  TERI agrees that it shall do all things necessary to preserve and maintain the security interests of the Owner under this Agreement and Indenture as a first priority lien in the Collateral and shall not permit the creation of any other lien, charge, security interest, or encumbrance in the Collateral.  TERI agrees that it shall execute and if necessary deliver to the Trustee for execution, and the Administrator agrees to file or record (at its own cost and expense), such notices, financing statements, 


 









continuation statements, certificates of title and other documents, and TERI shall deliver to the Trustee upon request therefor such securities, agreements, writings, documents, certificates, instruments, or other intangibles, as the Trustee reasonably deems necessary from time to time to perfect and maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Trustee under this Agreement.  The Trustee or the Administrator shall have the right to file this Agreement and any financing statement reflecting the content of this Agreement for record in any governmental office.


 



	
            (e)
 	
            Records, Statements and Related Documents.  TERI agrees:
 



 


 (i)        When reasonably requested to do so by the Administrator, to prepare and deliver to the Administrator a schedule in form satisfactory to the Administrator, certified by an authorized officer of TERI, listing all Collateral and the location thereof; and


 


 (ii)        To keep accurate and complete records at all times in respect of the Collateral and to deliver to the Administrator copies of such records and such other information regarding the Collateral which the Administrator may reasonably request.


 


 (f)        Location.  The principal office of TERI is located at 31 St. James Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, and all books of account and records relating to the collateral and TERI’s business are located at TERI’s principal office.  TERI shall not, without giving the Administrator at least ten (10) days prior written notice, change the location of any of the Collateral or the location at which it does business, including, without limitation, the location at which any books of account or records relating to the Collateral and TERI’s business are kept.


 


 (g)       Notice.  TERI shall promptly notify the Owner of any change in TERI’s name or its jurisdiction of organization or any physical loss, destruction, or damage to any material portion of the Collateral.  TERI shall also promptly notify the Owner of any default hereunder.  In the event of a name change or change in its jurisdiction of organization, TERI shall take such actions, if any, as shall be necessary to maintain the security interests of the Owner hereunder.


 


 (h)       Further Information.  TERI shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Trustee (and to any other financial institution holding the Pledged Account), in a form satisfactory to the Trustee (or such other institution), TERI’s certification of its tax identification number and such other documents as the Trustee shall reasonably request to perform its obligations hereunder.


 


 (i)        Non-Petition.

bankruptcy proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations of the Owner under this Agreement.


 


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 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 exercise any such Rights and Remedies at such time or times and in such order of preference as that party in its sole discretion may determine.


 


17.       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together be deemed a single agreement. 


 


18.       Confidentiality.  The parties acknowledge that this Agreement 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 to the contrary notwithstanding, any such information may be disclosed (a) to any employees, officers, directors or representatives of the parties to effect the purpose of the Student Loan Program; (b) by TERI 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 such others as the Administrator may determine necessary (including regulators and potential investors in a private or public offering) in connection with the 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 TERI, 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 a Loan (including but not limited to the Owner and Trustee) cannot be determined.


 


19.       Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with Massachusetts law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.






 









 


20.       Severability.  If at any time one or more provisions of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
