(d) Financial Information; Financial Condition. All balance sheets, all statements of operations, of shareholders’ equity and of cash flow, and other financial data (other than projections) which have been or shall hereafter be furnished by the Issuer to the Collateral Agent and the Rating Agencies pursuant to Section 3.05(c) have been and will be prepared in accordance with GAAP (to the extent applicable) and do and will present fairly the financial condition of the entities involved as of the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods covered thereby, subject, in the case of all unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnotes and presentation items.

(i) The Issuer shall do such further acts and things, and execute and deliver to the Depositary, the Collateral Agent, any Swap Counterparty and the Secured Parties such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments, as the Depositary, the Collateral Agent, such Swap Counterparty or the Required Senior Noteholders (or, if the Senior Notes have been paid in full, the Required Subordinated Noteholders) reasonably determine to be necessary to carry into effect the purposes of this Security Agreement or the other Program Documents or to better assure and confirm unto the Depositary, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties their rights, powers and remedies hereunder including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement, amendment statement or continuation statement under the UCC in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby. The Issuer also hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Agent has the right but not the obligation to file any such financing statement, amendment statement or continuation statement without further authorization of the Issuer to the extent permitted by applicable law. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, chattel paper or other instrument, such note, chattel paper or instrument shall be deemed to be held in trust and immediately pledged and physically delivered to the Collateral Agent hereunder, and shall, subject to the rights of any Person in whose favor a prior Lien has been perfected, be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and delivered to the Collateral Agent promptly. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(1), the Issuer shall take all actions that are required to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in the Collateral pledged pursuant to this Security Agreement as a perfected security interest subject to no prior Liens, including, without limitation, filing all UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto necessary to achieve the foregoing. The Issuer further agrees that it will not, without Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and each Swap Counterparty, exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege available to it with respect to any obligor under the Collateral, take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by any obligor of its obligations to the Issuer, or give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver with respect to any obligor, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Program Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to file or prepare any financing statement or continuation statement or to take any action or to execute any further documents or instruments in order to create, preserve, or perfect the security interest granted herein, such obligations being solely the obligations of the Issuer.

(ii) The Issuer will warrant and defend the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral and the income, distributions and proceeds thereof, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(iii) The Issuer will provide to the Collateral Agent and the Swap Counterparties, no more frequently than on June 30 of each year, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that no UCC financing or continuation statements are required to be filed with respect to any of the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of UCC financing statements.

(m) Certain Documents. The Issuer will not take any action that would permit (i) the Seller or the Servicer to refuse to perform any of their respective obligations under the Program Documents or (ii) the Depositary to refuse to perform its obligations under any Program Documents to which it is a party. The Issuer will not terminate the SLN Placement Agent Agreement or the Depositary Agreement before entering into a secured liquidity note placement agreement or depositary agreement, as the case may be, which is substantially similar to the SLN Placement Agent Agreement or the Depositary Agreement, as the case may be.

(n) Liens. The Issuer will not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien upon any of its Assets (including the Collateral), other than (i) Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (ii) Permitted Liens, (iii) Liens permitted under the Program Documents and (iv) liabilities for services supplied or furnished to the Issuer (including reasonable accountants’ and attorneys’ fees); provided, that the aggregate amount of the liabilities described in subpart (iv) shall not exceed $500,000 at any one time outstanding.

(s) Dividends. The Issuer shall not make any distributions to any holders of its securities without the consent of each Swap Counterparty and the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Senior Noteholders (or, if the Senior Notes have been paid in full, the Required Subordinated Noteholders) except as provided under the Program Documents.

(t) Name; Principal Office. The Issuer will neither (a) change the location of its organization, chief executive office or principal place of business (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) without sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Depositary and the Collateral Agent, (b) change its name, (c) change its identity or jurisdiction of organization, nor (d) become bound as a debtor under Section 9-203(d) of the Uniform Commercial Code by a security agreement previously entered into by another person or entity without prior written notice to the Depositary and the Collateral Agent sufficient to allow it to make all filings (including filings of financing statements on form UCC-1) and recordings necessary to maintain the perfection of the interest of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in the Collateral pursuant to this Security Agreement. In the event that the Issuer desires to so change its office or change its name, the Issuer will make any required filings and prior to actually changing its office or its name the Issuer will deliver to the Collateral Agent, each Swap Counterparty and the Depositary (i) an Officer’s Certificate and (except with respect to a change of the location of the Issuer’s chief executive office or principal place of business to a new location in the same county) an Opinion of Counsel confirming that all required filings have been made to continue the perfected interest of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in the Collateral in respect of the new office or new name of the Issuer and (ii) copies of all such required filings with the filing information duly noted thereon by the office in which such filings were made.

The Issuer will not make, incur, or suffer to exist any loan, advance, guarantee, extension of credit or other investment in any Person other than pursuant to the Program Documents and with respect to Eligible Investments and, in addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will not direct the Collateral Agent to make any Eligible Investments on the Issuer’s behalf that would have the effect of causing the Issuer to be an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

(w) No Other Agreements. The Issuer will not (a) enter into or be a party to any agreement or instrument other than any Program Document, agreements entered into in the ordinary course of its business or documents and agreements incidental thereto or (b) except as provided for in Section 10.01, amend, modify or waive any provision of any Program Document to which it is a party, or (c) give any approval or consent or permission not provided for in any Program Document.

For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to any holder of Notes in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of Notes from such holder of Notes in each case upon request, the information specified in, and meeting the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Seller or Servicer to, provide the Collateral Agent and each Swap Counterparty with copies of all reports, notices, statements and certificates delivered under the Program Documents, and any other information that the Collateral Agent or each Swap Counterparty shall reasonably request. Delivery of such reports, notices, information and documents to the Collateral Agent under this section and Section 3.05(z) is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants.

(cc) Non-Petition Agreement. The Issuer shall cause each party to the Program Documents and each party to any other document incidental or related to any Program Document, to covenant and agree that it shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) after the payment in full of the latest maturing Note, acquiesce, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.

Subject to the provisions of the Depositary Agreement, all Secured Liquidity Notes shall be delivered and issued against payment therefor in collected funds which are immediately available on the date of issuance, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement and the Depositary Agreement.

(c) After their initial sale, the Secured Liquidity Notes and Extended Notes may be resold only (1) to the Issuer, to an SLN Placement Agent or any other authorized placement agent that is registered as a broker/dealer under the Exchange Act, (2) through an SLN Placement Agent to (a) an institutional accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or (b) a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, or (3) to a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each purchaser of a Secured Liquidity Note will be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows: (1) the purchaser understands that the Secured Liquidity Notes are being issued only in transactions not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act; (2) the purchaser is either (a) an institutional investor who (i) is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (or is a fiduciary or agent (other than a U.S. bank or savings and loan association) that is purchasing the Secured Liquidity Notes either for its own account or for the account of one or more institutional accredited investors), (ii) has such knowledge and experience (or is a fiduciary or agent with sole investment discretion having such knowledge and experience) in financial and business matters that it (or such fiduciary or agent) is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in such Secured Liquidity Note, (iii) has had access to such information (including without limitation information with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Swap Counterparties) as the purchaser deems necessary in order to make an informed investment decision, and (iv) is purchasing the Secured Liquidity Notes for investment and not with a view to distribution; or (b) in the case of sales of Secured Liquidity Notes pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A (or a qualified institutional buyer purchasing the Secured Liquidity Notes on behalf of one or more other qualified institutional buyers); (3) if in the future the purchaser (or any such other investor or any other fiduciary or agent representing such investor) decides to sell such Secured Liquidity Notes prior to maturity, such Notes will be sold only in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and only to (i) the Issuer or an SLN Placement Agent or through an SLN Placement Agent to an investor reasonably believed by an SLN Placement Agent to be an institutional accredited investor or a qualified institutional buyer or (ii) a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction made pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act; (4) the purchaser understands that, although the Issuer and the SLN Placement Agents may repurchase the Secured Liquidity Notes or Extended Notes the Issuer and the SLN Placement Agents are not obligated to do so, and accordingly the purchaser (or any such other investor) should be prepared to hold such Secured Liquidity Notes or Extended Notes until their Final Maturity; (5) if the purchaser is a qualified institutional buyer, the purchaser acknowledges that the Secured Liquidity Notes sold to the purchaser by an SLN Placement Agent may be sold to it pursuant to Rule 144A; and (6) either (i) the purchaser is not, and is not acquiring the Secured Liquidity Note for, on behalf of or using the assets of a Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan or retirement arrangement that is subject to a law that is similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) assuming that the Secured Liquidity Notes are treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the “plan asset” regulations under ERISA, the purchaser’s purchase, holding and disposition of the Secured Liquidity Notes will not constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any similar or applicable law by reason of the application of one or more statutory or administrative exemptions from such prohibited transaction rules or otherwise.

(d) In the event that (i) an injunction suspending the issuance of Secured Liquidity Notes shall have been issued or proceedings therefor shall have been initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) the Issuer or any other Person shall have been found in a judicial or administrative proceeding to have violated the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of the Secured Liquidity Notes, or (iii) the Issuer or the SLN Placement Agents shall have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking to register the Secured Liquidity Notes under the Securities Act, then, in any such event, the Issuer shall not thereafter issue or sell any Secured Liquidity Notes.

The Issuer hereby agrees that each issuance of Secured Liquidity Notes constitutes a representation and warranty by the Issuer that the conditions specified above are then satisfied and will be satisfied immediately after giving effect thereto.

Section 4.04 Conversion to Extended Notes. (a) Upon the failure of any Class of Secured Liquidity Notes to be fully paid on its Expected Maturity, without any notice or other further action by any Person, the Issuer shall be deemed to have advised the Clearing Agency that such Class of Secured Liquidity Notes has been converted, as of such Expected Maturity, to a Class of Extended Notes.

(b) Upon any such conversion with respect to any Class of Secured Liquidity Notes, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Depositary of such conversion to a Class of Extended Notes. The initial aggregate principal amount of each Class of Extended Notes deemed issued upon conversion of the related Class of Secured Liquidity Notes shall be equal to the aggregate face amount of such Class of Secured Liquidity Notes (or, in the case of Secured Liquidity Notes issued on an interest bearing basis, the aggregate principal and accrued interest of such Class of Secured Liquidity Notes). The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Rating Agencies and each Swap Counterparty of any conversion of a Class of Secured Liquidity Notes to a Class of Extended Notes.

Section 4.06 Calculation of Extended Note Interest. (a) For purposes of calculating the Extended Note Rate for each Class of Extended Notes, the Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Extended Note Calculation Agent. The Extended Note Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time. If the Extended Note Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the Extended Note Calculation Agent fails to determine the Extended Note Rate for each Class of Extended Notes and the Aggregate Extended Note Monthly Interest for any Interest Period, the Issuer will promptly appoint as a replacement Extended Note Calculation Agent a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market. The Extended Note Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed by the Issuer.

(b) LIBOR shall be determined by the Extended Note Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) On the second Business Day prior to the commencement of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of the initial Interest Period, on the related Expected Maturity) (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), “LIBOR” shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Extended Note Calculation Agent, for one-month Eurodollar deposits which appears on Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the publication “2000 ISDA Definitions” published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) or such other page as may replace Telerate Page 3750, as it relates to U.S. dollars, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.

(ii) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the Extended Note Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks to leading banks in the London interbank market for one-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Extended Note Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Extended Note Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in The City of New York selected by the Extended Note Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for one-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Extended Note Calculation Agent by reference to the principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided, however, that if the Extended Note Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above, “LIBOR” shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein, “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Extended Note Calculation Agent.

As soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Extended Note Calculation Agent will cause the Extended Note Rate for the next Interest Period and the applicable Aggregate Extended Note Monthly Interest for such Interest Period payable in respect of the Extended Notes on the related Distribution Date to be given to the Issuer, the Depositary and any paying agent. The Extended Note Calculation Agent will also specify to the Issuer and the Depositary the quotations upon which the Extended Note Rate is based, and in any event the Extended Note Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the Extended Note Rate and the applicable Aggregate Extended Note Monthly Interest or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Extended Note Rate and the applicable Aggregate Extended Note Monthly Interest, together with its reasons therefor. For the sole purpose of calculating the Extended Note Rate, “Business Day” shall be any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Section 4.07 Payment of Extended Note Interest. (a) The discount representing interest on each Secured Liquidity Note will be payable pursuant to the terms of the Depositary Agreement on the related Expected Maturity or redemption date (if such Secured Liquidity Note is redeemed prior to such Expected Maturity in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof) with funds provided therefor pursuant to Section 6.03 of this Security Agreement; provided, however, that if such funds provided under this Security Agreement are insufficient to repay the face amount of all outstanding Secured Liquidity Notes having the same Expected Maturity on such Expected Maturity, then no interest will be paid in respect of such Classes on such date and such Classes shall thereupon be converted into Extended Notes pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof. With respect to the payment of interest on the Extended Notes, on each Distribution Date commencing with the second Distribution Date following such Expected Maturity, the Collateral Agent, in accordance with a certificate or other statement based upon the Servicer Report, shall withdraw the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Collateral Account and deposit such amounts in the Extended Notes Distribution Account, maintained with the Depositary, pursuant to this Section 4.07 in respect of all funds available for such Interest Period and allocated to the holders of the Extended Notes pursuant to Section 6.03(b) of this Security Agreement.

On each Determination Date, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Depositary and the Servicer in writing as to the amount to be withdrawn and paid pursuant to this Section 4.07 from the Collateral Account to the extent funds are anticipated to be available and allocable to the Extended Notes in respect of (x) first, an amount equal to Extended Note Monthly Interest for the related Interest Period and (y) second, an amount equal to the amount of any unpaid Extended Note Shortfall as of the preceding Distribution Date (together with any accrued interest on such Extended Note Shortfall). If the amounts described in this Section 4.07 are not sufficient to pay Extended Note Monthly Interest on any Distribution Date, payments of interest to the holders of Extended Notes will be reduced on a pro rata basis by the amount of such deficiency. The aggregate amount, if any, of such deficiency on any Distribution Date shall be referred to as the “Extended Note Shortfall.” Interest shall accrue on the Extended Note Shortfall at the Extended Note Rate. On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw the amounts described in this Section 4.07 from the Collateral Account and deposit such amounts in the Extended Notes Distribution Account.

Section 4.08 Payment of Senior Note Principal. The principal in respect of each Secured Liquidity Note will be payable pursuant to the terms of the Depositary Agreement on the related Expected Maturity or redemption date (if such Secured Liquidity Note is redeemed prior to such Expected Maturity in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof) with funds provided therefor pursuant to Section 6.03 of this Security Agreement; provided, however, that if such funds provided under this Security Agreement are insufficient to repay the face amount of all outstanding Secured Liquidity Notes having the same Expected Maturity on such Expected Maturity, then no principal will be paid in respect of such Classes on such date and such Classes shall thereupon be converted into Extended Notes pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof; provided, further, the principal in respect of the Secured Liquidity Notes may only be paid if no Extended Notes would be outstanding after giving effect to all payments made on such date. The principal in respect of any Extended Note (x) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to DTC, the Depositary and the Collateral Agent, may be paid in whole, but not in part, on any day at the option of the Issuer to the extent of available principal payments on the Mortgage Loans, sale proceeds in respect of the Mortgage Loans, payments to the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swaps in respect of the Mortgage Loans and proceeds from the issuance of new Classes of Secured Liquidity Notes, provided that after giving effect to all payments made on such date no outstanding Class of Extended Notes has the same or an earlier Final Maturity and (y) unless earlier redeemed, will be repaid in full on the Final Maturity of such Extended Note. With respect to each Class of Extended Notes, on the applicable principal payment date, in accordance with a certificate or other statement based upon the related report generated by the Servicer, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw the amount set forth therein as principal payable in respect of the applicable Class of Extended Notes from the Collateral Account and deposit such amount in the Extended Notes Distribution Account maintained with the Depositary, to be paid to the holders of the applicable Class of Extended Notes on such date. On the Determination Date prior to the related Final Maturity, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Servicer in writing as to the amount of remaining principal outstanding in respect of the applicable Class of Extended Notes. On each Final Maturity, in accordance with the related Servicer Report, the Collateral Agent shall withdraw such amount of remaining principal in respect of the applicable Class of Extended Notes from the Collateral Account and deposit such amount in the Extended Notes Distribution Account maintained with the Depositary, to be paid to the holders of the applicable Class of Extended Notes. The remaining entire principal amount (plus accrued interest thereon) of all Extended Notes of a Class shall be due and payable on the applicable Final Maturity.

Section 4.09 Series Program Size of the Secured Liquidity Notes and Extended Notes. The “Series Program Size” with respect to the Secured Liquidity Notes and Extended Notes, collectively, as of the date hereof, shall be the Senior Notes Utilization Amount, such Senior Notes Utilization Amount not to exceed $1,895,000,000 (for purposes of this paragraph, the “Series Program Size Cap”) (as such Series Program Size Cap may be increased or decreased following the Effective Date in accordance with the Program Documents). The Issuer may, with the consent of each Swap Counterparty and the Collateral Agent, increase or decrease the Series Program Size Cap; provided, however, that no increase or decrease in the Series Program Size Cap may be made unless (i) after giving effect to such increase or decrease, the aggregate maximum notional amount of the Interest Rate Swaps shall be at least equal to the Program Size and (ii) in the case of an increase, the Issuer shall obtain written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that such increase shall not cause the reduction or withdrawal of any rating on any Series of Senior Notes or Subordinated Notes.

Section 4.10 Credit Amount Percentage. The “Credit Amount Percentage” with respect to the Secured Liquidity Notes and the Extended Notes, collectively, shall be as set forth in the Side Letter.

Section 5.02 Application of Assigned Collateral. The Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, until this Security Agreement is terminated, all monies and other cash proceeds due and to become due to the Issuer under or in connection with the Assigned Collateral shall be paid directly to the Collateral Agent and that the Issuer agrees if any such monies or other cash proceeds shall be received by the Issuer, such monies and other cash proceeds will not be commingled by the Issuer with any of its other funds or property, but will be held separate and apart therefrom and shall be held in trust by the Issuer for, and promptly paid over to, the Collateral Agent. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and provided the Collateral Account or any funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Collateral Account are not then subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process, all monies and other cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article shall be deposited in the Collateral Account for application as provided in Section 6.03 hereof. All monies and other cash proceeds held or deposited in the Collateral Account after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and all monies and other cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article V while the Collateral Account or any funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Collateral Account are subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the payment or repayment in full of all outstanding Obligations, whether or not then due, in the order of priority specified in Section 2.01 hereof; provided, however, that any monies or other cash proceeds remaining after the payment or repayment in full of all outstanding Obligations shall be paid to the Issuer.

For purposes of determining the application to be made of such monies and other cash proceeds to the Servicer pursuant to clause Eighth of Section 2.01(b) hereof, the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively upon a certificate or other statement (a copy of which shall also be provided to the Issuer) of the Servicer as to the amount then owing to the Servicer. For purposes of determining the application to be made of such monies and other cash proceeds to any holder of any Secured Liquidity Notes pursuant to clause Third of Section 2.01(b) hereof, the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively upon a certificate or other statement (a copy of which shall also be provided to the Issuer) of the Depositary as to the amount then owing to such holder. For purposes of determining the application to be made of such monies and other cash proceeds to any holder of any Extended Notes pursuant to clause Third of Section 2.01(b) hereof, the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate or other statement (a copy of which shall also be provided to the Issuer) of the Depositary as to the amount then owing to such holder. For purposes of determining the application to be made of such monies and other cash proceeds to the Subordinated Noteholders pursuant to clause Fifth of Section 2.01(b) hereof, the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively upon a certificate or other statement (a copy of which shall also be provided to the Issuer) of the Indenture Trustee as to the amount then owing to such holder. For purposes of determining the application to be made of such monies and other cash proceeds to each Swap Counterparty pursuant to clauses Second and Sixth of Section 2.01(b) hereof, the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively upon a certificate or other statement (a copy of which shall also be provided to the Issuer) of the Servicer, acting as Calculation Agent under the related Interest Rate Swap, as to the amount then owing to each Swap Counterparty. Any application to be made by the Collateral Agent of such monies and other cash proceeds pursuant to clauses First, Third, Fourth or Seventh of Section 2.01(b) hereof may be made upon the Collateral Agent’s, the Indenture Trustee’s or the Custodian’s certificate or statement delivered to the Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the Collateral Agent’s, the Indenture Trustee’s or the Custodian’s claim and the amount owing to the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on account thereof.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any application of the monies and other cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article V made in accordance with any certificate or direction delivered pursuant to this Section 5.02; provided, however, that no application of the monies and other cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article V in accordance with any certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be deemed to restrict or limit the right of the Issuer to contest with the purported obligee its respective liability in respect of the amount set forth in such certificate.

Section 5.03 Performance of Agreements. Promptly, whether or not following a request from the Collateral Agent to do so, and in any event at the Issuer’s own expense, the Issuer agrees (a) to take all such lawful action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to compel or secure the performance and observance by (i) the Seller or the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) any party to any Program Document in accordance with the terms thereof, and (b) to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer (i) under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and (ii) under or in connection with any Program Document, in every case to the extent and in the manner directed by the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer or any party to any Program Document and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer or any party to any Program Document of their respective obligations. Subject to Section 7.02, the Issuer further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the holders of the Senior Notes) and each Swap Counterparty, (a) exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege available to it under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, (b) take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by (i) the Seller or the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or (ii) any party to any Program Document, or (c) give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver to the Seller or the Servicer under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement not required to be exercised, taken, observed or given by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, as applicable, shall be so consented to by the required consenting parties, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the required consenting parties to do so, to prepare, execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the required consenting parties may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. Upon provision of such direction by the required consenting parties, the Collateral Agent shall also execute and deliver any such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents. The Issuer shall give prior notice of any amendment to each of the Rating Agencies.

Any instruction delivered by the Issuer or the Depositary pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 6.03(b) shall be effective upon receipt of written instructions from an Issuer Agent or, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a Designated Representative.

The Collateral Agent shall promptly comply with any such approved instructions made by the Issuer or the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6.03(b); provided, that any withdrawal and transfer pursuant to an instruction received prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day shall be made on such day.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of the Issuer and the Depositary to request the Collateral Agent to withdraw, or order the transfer of, Deposited Funds from the Collateral Account shall cease, and the Collateral Agent shall appropriate and apply the Deposited Funds then, or at any time thereafter, on deposit in the Collateral Account, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.02.

Section 6.04 Eligible Investments. (a) Monies held in the Collateral Account shall be invested and the proceeds of investments shall be reinvested by the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments pursuant to the written direction of the Servicer prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any loss resulting from the investment performance of any investment or reinvestment of monies held in the Collateral Account or any other account maintained by the Collateral Agent for the purposes of this Security Agreement in Eligible Investments. The Collateral Agent from time to time shall provide the Issuer with statements of account relative to the Collateral Account or any other account maintained by the Collateral Agent for the purposes of this Security Agreement in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s customary practices. The parties recognize that the statements of account to be provided by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be derived from information to be supplied by the institution or institutions maintaining such accounts; and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to prepare any statements of account containing information which cannot be so derived and shall not be responsible for the correctness or accuracy of the information received by it.

(b) Prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, monies held in the Collateral Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer in Eligible Investments having maturities of no greater than one day; provided, that if there is no Secured Liquidity Note or Extended Note then outstanding, monies held in the Collateral Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments either payable on demand or having maturities of no greater than the earlier of thirty (30) days or the next following Payment Date. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of, and shall be payable to, the Collateral Agent. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, monies held in the Collateral Account shall be invested in the Default Investment.

(c) The Collateral Agent or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Agent’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment advisor with respect to certain of the Eligible Investments where it is retained by the Servicer to perform that role; or as administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain Eligible Investments (provided that nothing in the foregoing shall entitle the Collateral Agent to seek or recover such compensation from the Servicer, the Issuer or any other party to the Program Documents), (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments, and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Eligible Investments. The Collateral Agent does not guarantee the performance of any Eligible Investment.

Section 6.05 Reserve Fund. (a) The Collateral Agent shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with an Eligible Institution, a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account (the “Reserve Fund”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Reserve Fund shall at all times be an Eligible Account. The Reserve Fund shall initially be established with the Collateral Agent. An initial deposit shall be made in the Reserve Fund by the Issuer in the amount of the Required Reserve Fund Amount not later than the Initial Closing Date. The Collateral Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Reserve Fund and in all proceeds thereof. The Reserve Fund shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. If, at any time, the institution holding the Reserve Fund ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Collateral Agent shall within five Business Days establish a new Reserve Fund meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution and shall transfer or cause to be transferred any cash and/or any investments to such new Reserve Fund. The Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Issuer, shall make deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve Fund in the amounts and at the times set forth in this Security Agreement. All withdrawals from the Reserve Fund shall be made as set forth below.

(b) Prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer by the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund on any Payment Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Reserve Fund on such Payment Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Payment Date; provided, however, the Issuer shall instruct the Collateral Agent to allow for Eligible Investments to mature on a daily basis sufficient to fund anticipated withdrawals from the Reserve Fund under subsection (c) below in respect of Interim Payment Date losses on the sale of Defaulted Loans and Delinquent Loans. No Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity. The proceeds of any such investments shall be invested in such investments that will be payable on demand or mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Payment Date immediately following the date of such investment. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, monies held in the Reserve Fund shall be invested in the Default Investment. The Collateral Agent shall maintain or cause to be maintained by another Eligible Institution for the benefit of the Secured Parties possession or control of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing such Eligible Investments. On each Payment Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund equals the Required Reserve Fund Amount. On each Program Utilization Effective Date, the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the written direction of the Servicer, shall pay to the Company from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, an amount equal to the amount referred to in Section 6.05(g)(ii)(x). On each Payment Date, after giving effect to the withdrawals from the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 6.03(b) hereof (and, if such date is also a Program Utilization Effective Date, after giving effect to the payment referred to in the preceding sentence), the Collateral Agent shall pay any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess of the Required Reserve Fund Amount by depositing the same into the Collateral Account for payment to the Swap Counterparties in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.01(b) or Section 6.03(b), as the case may be.

(c) The Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the written directions of the Servicer, shall on each Interim Payment Date withdraw from the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount (each, a “Required Draw Amount”) by which the aggregate cash proceeds of sales of Delinquent Loans and Defaulted Loans on such Interim Payment Date (plus or minus the amount of any payments due under the Interest Rate Swaps on such Interim Payment Date) are less than the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loans, and (y) the Available Amount (exclusive of unmatured Eligible Investments) in the Reserve Fund, and deposit such amounts into the Collateral Account; provided, that such amounts may not be used to pay Reimbursable Expenses except under “Seventh” in Section 2.01(b).

(d) On each Payment Date, the Servicer, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Servicer Report delivered to the Collateral Agent, shall calculate (i) the amount (each, a “Required Draw Amount”) equal to shortfalls in amounts received by the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swaps in respect of Delinquent Loans and Defaulted Loans for which no Monthly Advances were paid by the Servicer during such month, and (ii) the Available Amount in the Reserve Fund available to pay such amounts as specified below in this Section 6.05(d). In the event that for any Payment Date the Required Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Issuer shall give written notice to the Collateral Agent of such positive Required Draw Amount on the related Payment Date. On the Payment Date, the Required Draw Amount, if any, up to the Available Amount in the Reserve Fund, shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent from the Reserve Fund, deposited into the Collateral Account, and applied to pay shortfalls in amounts payable under Section 6.03(b)(ii), (v) and (vi); provided, that the Required Draw Amount shall not be used to pay Reimbursable Expenses. In addition, on each Payment Date, the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Servicer Report, shall withdraw from the Reserve Fund any amounts payable under Section 6.03(b)(ix) hereof.

(e) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the direction of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, any amounts remaining in the Reserve Fund shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.01 hereof.

(f) Upon the payment in full of all amounts owing to the Secured Liquidity Noteholders, the Extended Noteholders, the Subordinated Noteholders and each Swap Counterparty, the Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Reserve Fund and pay to the Issuer all amounts, if any, held in the Reserve Fund, and the Reserve Fund shall be deemed to have terminated for all purposes of this Security Agreement.

(g) On any day, the Issuer may elect a Program Utilization Amount, which Program Utilization Amount, subject to compliance with the following conditions (the “Program Utilization Conditions”), shall become effective as of the Program Utilization Effective Date:

(i) Other than with respect to the Initial Closing Date, the Issuer shall give one (1) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, the SLN Placement Agents and the Swap Counterparties setting forth (x) the Program Utilization Amount it proposes to select (for purposes of this subsection (g), the “Selected Tier”), and the proposed Program Utilization Effective Date, (y) the amounts that would be payable pursuant to (ii) below if such Selected Tier were given effect to, and (z) the amount of the decrease, if any, in the Credits Outstanding pursuant to (iii) below;

(ii) (x) If the Selected Tier is less than the Program Utilization Amount then in effect, pursuant to Section 6.05(b) above, the Collateral Agent shall remit to the Company the amount by which (1) the sum of the Available Amount in the Reserve Fund plus any Unreimbursed Required Draw Amounts, exceeds (2) the Required Reserve Fund Amount for the Selected Tier, or (y), if the Selected Tier is greater than the Program Utilization Amount then in effect, the Issuer shall deposit into the Reserve Fund, from the proceeds of the Commitment Fee, an amount equal to the amount by which (1) the Required Reserve Fund Amount for the Selected Tier exceeds (2) the sum of the Available Amount in the Reserve Fund plus any Unreimbursed Required Draw Amounts;

(iii) If both (x) the Selected Tier is less than the Program Utilization Amount then in effect, and (y) the aggregate Credits Outstanding as of the proposed Program Utilization Effective Date would be greater than the Senior Notes Utilization Amount permitted for such Selected Tier, then the Issuer shall direct the Servicer to arrange for the sale of Mortgage Loans with an aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price equal the amount by which the Credits Outstanding as of the proposed Program Utilization Effective Date would exceed the Senior Notes Utilization Amount permitted for such Selected Tier, such sales to close in time to ensure that the aggregate proceeds of sale, together with the amounts (if any) payable by the Swap Counterparties pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap, shall have been deposited into the Collateral Account (as provided for herein) no later than the proposed Program Utilization Effective Date; and

(iv) The Issuer shall give written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, the SLN Placement Agents and the Swap Counterparties of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in (i) through (iii) above, and the occurrence of the Program Utilization Effective Date.

Section 6.06 Payment of Allocated Expenses. The Collateral Agent shall establish and maintain, in the name of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Issuer, with an Eligible Institution a segregated trust account (the “Allocated Expenses Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Issuer. The Allocated Expenses Account shall initially be established with the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Allocated Expenses Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Allocated Expenses Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Issuer. If, at any time, the institution holding the Allocated Expenses Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Collateral Agent shall within five Business Days establish a new Allocated Expenses Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution and shall transfer or cause to be transferred any cash and/or any investments to such new Allocated Expenses Account. On each Payment Date prior to giving effect to the payments pursuant to Section 6.03(b) hereof, the Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of the Servicer, shall, from the amount of net interest collections on Mortgage Loans and Eligible Investments, make a deposit to the Allocated Expenses Account in the amount set forth in the Servicer Report received from the Servicer as the Allocated Expenses to be due and owing on such Payment Date; provided, however, that the sum of the aggregate Allocated Expenses paid during any calendar year shall never exceed the Budget Expense Limit. Allocated Expenses for any given calendar year in excess of the Budget Expense Limit shall accrue unpaid and, subsequently, shall be paid, if at all, from amounts included in the Budget Expense Limit for any subsequent calendar year as each Swap Counterparty and the Issuer may agree. The Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Issuer, shall make withdrawals from the Allocated Expenses Account in the amounts and at the times set forth in written payment instructions received from the Issuer. Upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Allocated Expenses, the Allocated Expenses Account shall be deemed to have terminated for all purposes.

If the Subordinated Note Representative elects to purchase such Defaulted Loan, Delinquent Loan or Pool within such two Business Day time period, the Subordinated Note Representative shall pay the Purchase Price for such Defaulted Loan, Delinquent Loan or Pool within two (2) Business Days of the date of such election. In the event that the Subordinated Note Representative fails to pay such Purchase Price or fails to affirmatively elect to purchase such Defaulted Loan, Delinquent Loan or Pool, in either case, within the applicable two Business Day time period, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to sell such Defaulted Loan, Delinquent Loan or Pool to the highest bidder. Without limitation of the Servicer’s obligations under Section 3.5(g) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange sales such that all Defaulted Loans and Delinquent Loans are sold within the same applicable timeframe as is set forth in Section 11.2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement for non-Delinquent Loans and non-Defaulted Loans, and, in any event prior to the Final Maturity of the Notes. The Collateral Agent may use the services of an investment bank in connection with any such sale.

The Collateral Agent shall have, with respect to the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available to it at law or in equity or pursuant to this Security Agreement or any other contract or agreement, all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable version of the UCC of the relevant jurisdictions relating to the Collateral, and it is expressly agreed that if the Collateral Agent should proceed to dispose of, utilize or sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of relevant versions of the UCC, ten (10) Business Days’ notice by the Collateral Agent to the Issuer shall be deemed to be reasonable notice under any such provision requiring such notice.

The Issuer hereby expressly agrees that no notice of any sale or disposition of any Eligible Investments need be given. Any sale or other disposition of Collateral by the Collateral Agent may be made on such commercially reasonable terms as it may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private or public sale conducted in accordance with this Security Agreement. The Collateral Agent, any Swap Counterparty, or the holders of the Senior Notes may buy any Collateral at any public sale conducted in accordance with this Security Agreement free of any right or equity of redemption of the Issuer, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.

The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its accounts generally, subject to Section 9-207 of the UCC. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, provided that it has acted in accordance with the instructions of the Secured Parties and in compliance with applicable law and this Security Agreement.

Section 7.04 Waiver of Stays, etc. To the full extent that the Issuer may lawfully so agree, the Issuer agrees that it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Security Agreement in accordance with its terms or the absolute sale of any portion of or all of the Collateral in accordance with this Security Agreement or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale under and in compliance with this Security Agreement, and the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim under the Issuer, as far as the Issuer now or hereafter lawfully may do so, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

ARTICLE IX

THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment and Powers of Collateral Agent. The Issuer and the Secured Parties hereby appoint the Collateral Agent to take such action and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties as agent hereunder by or through agents, nominees, attorneys, Affiliates or employees and shall be entitled to retain experts (including counsel which may be counsel to the Issuer) and to act in reliance upon the advice of such experts concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies hereby created and its duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such experts selected by it. The relationship between the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party is that of agent and principal only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute the Collateral Agent a trustee for any Secured Party or impose on the Collateral Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein. Holders of the Secured Liquidity Notes, by their acceptance of their Secured Liquidity Notes (or a beneficial interest therein), holders of the Extended Notes, by their acceptance of their Extended Notes (or a beneficial interest therein), and holders of the Subordinated Notes, by their acceptance of their Subordinated Notes (or a beneficial interest therein), consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent or any successor Collateral Agent hereunder.

Except as required by the specific terms of this Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty (of a fiduciary nature or otherwise) to exercise any right, power, remedy or privilege granted to it hereby, or to take any affirmative action hereunder, unless directed to do so by the Required Senior Noteholders (or, if the Senior Notes have been paid in full, the Required Subordinated Noteholders) (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting pursuant to such directions or lack of directions which shall be binding on the Secured Parties), and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, without the prior approval of the Required Senior Noteholders (or, if the Senior Notes have been paid in full, the Required Subordinated Noteholders), consent to any material departure by the Issuer from the terms hereof or of any other agreement or instrument relating to the Assigned Collateral, waive any default on the part of the Issuer under the terms hereof or under the Assigned Collateral or amend, modify, supplement or terminate, or agree to any surrender of, this Security Agreement or the Assigned Collateral, the Collateral Account or the Deposited Funds, except as expressly provided herein; provided, that the foregoing limitation on the authority of the Collateral Agent is for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall not impose any obligation on the Issuer to investigate or inquire into the authority of the Collateral Agent in any circumstances, and the Issuer shall be fully protected in carrying out any request, direction or instruction made or given to the Issuer by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right, power, remedy or privilege granted to the Collateral Agent hereby, receiving or acting upon any consent or waiver granted to the Issuer hereunder by the Collateral Agent, or entering into any amendment or modification of, or supplement to, this Security Agreement, and the Issuer shall not be subject to the claims of any Secured Party by reason of the lack of authority of the Collateral Agent to take any such action nor shall the lack of authority on the part of the Collateral Agent in any circumstances give rise to any claim on the part of the Issuer against such Secured Party; provided further, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Security Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Assigned Collateral or applicable law.

Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents, shall be liable to any Secured Party or the Issuer for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith, except for its own gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible to any other Secured Party for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of this Security Agreement or any other document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, or of the Collateral (or any part thereof). In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to lost profits). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (i) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party (other than as set forth in Section 3.04) and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Security Agreement or any other document relating to the Collateral, and (ii) shall not have any duty, except as expressly provided herein, to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Security Agreement, any other Program Document or any other agreements or instruments relating to the Collateral on the part of any party hereto or thereto or to inspect any books and records relating to the Collateral.

In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in such reliance, on any communication, direction, instrument, resolution, certificate, affidavit, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing, unless a Trust Officer of the Collateral Agent charged by the Collateral Agent with the administration of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or with knowledge of and familiarity with the Collateral Agent’s obligations under this Security Agreement has actual knowledge thereof or the Collateral Agent has received written notice from the Secured Parties or the Issuer that they consider that such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Security Agreement upon the advice of counsel or unless the Collateral Agent shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Nothing herein shall require the Collateral Agent to risk or expend its own funds, or to make advances. The Collateral Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Issuer and its Affiliates as if it were not the agent of the Secured Parties.

The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection to such extent in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. The Collateral Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or Affiliates. The Assigned Collateral held by the Collateral Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other collateral except to the extent required by law or the specific provisions hereof. Unless otherwise specified herein, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to invest money received by it hereunder and shall have no liability for interest on any such money. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for recording, re-recording, filing or re-filing this Security Agreement, or any amendment hereto or any financing statement or continuation statement.

The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Security Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the provisions of this Security Agreement, unless such Secured Parties shall have offered to the Collateral Agent reasonable security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the Collateral Agent shall not be required 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, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

The Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges that it has been notified of the terms of Section 4.25 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and is hereby specifically authorized and directed by the Secured Parties to comply with any notice submitted to it regarding reimbursement of Monthly Advances and/or Servicing Advances to an Advancing Person (as defined in that Section) (or nominee), as contemplated by and given in compliance with that Section.

Section 9.02 Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent acting hereunder at any time may resign by an instrument in writing addressed and delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositary, and may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing duly executed by or on behalf of the Issuer. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof, the Issuer shall have the right to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent upon any such resignation or removal by an instrument of substitution complying with the requirements of applicable law, or in the absence of any such requirements, without other formality than appointment and designation in writing; provided, however, that no such appointment shall be effective until receipt of written consent of each Swap Counterparty and written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such appointment would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating, if any, of the Secured Liquidity Notes, the Extended Notes or the Subordinated Notes. Upon the making and acceptance of such appointment, the execution and delivery by such successor Collateral Agent of a ratifying instrument pursuant to which such successor Collateral Agent agrees to assume the duties and obligations imposed on the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Security Agreement, and the delivery to such successor Collateral Agent of the Assigned Collateral, any Deposited Funds and documents and instruments then held by the retiring Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the estate, rights, powers, remedies, privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations hereby granted to or conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Agent named herein, and one such appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate further successor Collateral Agents hereunder. No Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder until the Assigned Collateral, any Deposited Funds and documents and instruments then held by such Collateral Agent shall have been transferred or delivered to the successor Collateral Agent, until all Deposited Funds held in the Collateral Account (if maintained with the retiring Collateral Agent) shall have been transferred to a new Collateral Account, and until such retiring Collateral Agent shall have executed and delivered to the successor Collateral Agent appropriate instruments substituting such successor Collateral Agent as attorney-in-fact of the Issuer for purposes of this Security Agreement and assigning the retiring Collateral Agent’s security or other interest in the Assigned Collateral, the Collateral Account, the Deposited Funds and Eligible Investments to the successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed, as aforesaid, or if appointed, shall not have accepted its appointment, within thirty (30) days after resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Agent, then, subject to the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof, the Collateral Agent may at the expense of the Issuer petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Each such successor Collateral Agent shall provide the Issuer with its address and telephone and telecopier numbers to be used for purposes of Section 11.04 hereof, in a notice complying with the terms of said Section. Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of any Collateral Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to the benefit of such Collateral Agent in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Collateral Agent in its capacity as such while it was Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement.

Subject to Section 9.03 hereof, 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 succeeding to the business of the Collateral Agent as a result of any of the foregoing shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or succession is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.03 Qualifications of Collateral Agent; Collateral Account. (a) Any Collateral Agent at any time acting hereunder must at all times be a commercial bank or trust company having its principal office in the District of Columbia or one of the States located in the United States, be authorized to accept deposits and offer checking account facilities, have capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and have a long-term unsecured debt rating from each of Moody’s and S&P and, if rated by Fitch, Fitch in one of its generic credit rating categories which signifies investment grade.

(b) The Collateral Account, if not held by the Collateral Agent, shall be held by a commercial bank or trust company meeting the qualifications of the Collateral Agent set forth in Section 9.03(a). The Collateral Account shall at all times be an Eligible Account.

Section 9.04 Instructions. In any instance in which the Collateral Agent is permitted to take action hereunder or under the Program Documents, the Collateral Agent shall, except as expressly provided herein or in the Indenture, act in accordance with the written instructions received, if any, from the Required Senior Noteholders (or, if the Senior Notes have been paid in full, the Required Subordinated Noteholders).

Section 9.05 Duties of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to monitor the Servicer nor any liability for the actions or inactions of the Servicer, provided that nothing in this Section 9.05 shall excuse the Collateral Agent from performing its obligations under this Agreement.

WAIVERS AND CONSENTS

Section 10.01 Execution of Amendments, etc. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision of this Security Agreement, nor any consent to any departure by the Issuer from any provision of this Security Agreement, shall be effective unless such amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver shall be in writing and signed by each Swap Counterparty (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Collateral Agent and the Issuer; and Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action shall have been given.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.01 Sale of Certain Collateral. The Issuer recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of the Assigned Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and instead may resort to one or more private sales of the Assigned Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such security for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale or sales may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if the disposition were made pursuant to a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale or sales made in an otherwise commercially reasonable manner shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely because of the private nature of such sale or sales. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to use the services of an investment bank, in connection with any such sale. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Assigned Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of any securities to register them for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuers would agree to do so.

Section 11.02 Further Assurances. The Issuer agrees that it will join with the Collateral Agent in executing and, at its own expense, filing and re-filing such financing statements, amendments thereto, continuation statements and other documents (including this Security Agreement) in such offices as may be necessary or appropriate and wherever required in order to perfect and preserve the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereby, and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to arrange for the filing of financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements relative to all or any part thereof without further authorization of the Issuer where permitted by law, and agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments, as are necessary to carry into effect the purposes of this Security Agreement or to better assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder (including as the Collateral Agent or any Swap Counterparty may request). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation in respect of the filing, re-filing, recording or monitoring of any financing statements, amendments thereto, or continuation statements, or of any other similar document or instrument relating to the security interest granted herein.

Section 11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by the Collateral Agent preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies that may be available to the Collateral Agent, whether at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 11.04 Notices, etc. Except where telephonic instructions or notices are authorized herein to be given, all notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing (including by electronic or facsimile transmission) and shall be sent by prepaid first class mail, personally delivered or sent by guaranteed overnight delivery or by electronic or facsimile transmission (to be followed by prepaid first class mail, personal or guaranteed overnight delivery) and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Purchase Agreement on the date that such writing is received by the intended recipient thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.04. Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent or delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.04, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the parties at their respective addresses (or to their respective facsimile numbers) indicated on Schedule II hereto, and, in the case of telephonic instructions or notices, by calling the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party on Schedule II hereto.

Section 11.05 Fees, Costs and Expenses, etc. The Issuer shall pay the Collateral Agent such fees for its services as shall be agreed upon by the Issuer and the Collateral Agent, provided however that the annual fees (which shall not include extraordinary fees) shall not exceed 0.01% per annum on the weighted average Outstanding Program Amount. Subject to Section 2.01, Section 6.03 and Section 6.06, the Issuer hereby agrees to (a) pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Security Agreement and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Collateral Agent, (b) reimburse the Collateral Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (excluding expenses solely attributable to internal overhead) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this Security Agreement, (c) pay, indemnify, and hold the Collateral Agent harmless from any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying stamp and other documentary taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Security Agreement, and any such other documents, and (d) indemnify and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by the Owner Trustee or the Collateral Agent, relating to or arising out of this Security Agreement or under the other Program Documents, or by the Owner Trustee or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) relating to or arising out of the enforcement of this Security Agreement or the preservation of any of its rights to the Assigned Collateral, the Collateral Account or any Deposited Funds; provided, that the Owner Trustee or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall not have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. If the Issuer shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty on the part of the Issuer contained herein or repeated and reaffirmed herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may, with the consent of the Required Senior Noteholders (or if the Senior Notes have been paid, then the Required Subordinated Noteholders) (but shall not be obligated to), do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be repayable to it by the Issuer. Subject to Section 2.01, Section 6.03 and Section 6.06, amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05 shall be paid as follows: (A) if the Collateral Agent provides the Issuer with notice of such amounts on or before the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such amount arose, the Issuer shall pay such amounts on the Payment Date occurring in the immediately succeeding calendar month and (B) if the Collateral Agent provides such notice after the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such amount arose, the Issuer shall pay such amounts on the Payment Date occurring in the calendar month after the month in which the demand was made. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 11.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this Security Agreement and the discharge of the other obligations of the Issuer hereunder and shall also survive the termination of the Indenture in accordance with its provisions.

Section 11.06 Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of taking such action and executing agreements, instruments and other documents, in the name of the Issuer, as the Collateral Agent, the Swap Counterparties or the holders of the Senior Notes may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 11.07 Termination. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, this Security Agreement, and the assignments, pledges and security interests created or granted hereby, shall terminate when (a) all Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied, and (b) all Notes shall have been fully paid and satisfied, at which time the Collateral Agent shall, at the written request of the Issuer, reassign (without recourse upon, or any warranty whatsoever by, the Collateral Agent), and deliver to the Issuer all Assigned Collateral and documents then in the custody or possession of the Collateral Agent and, if so requested by the Issuer, shall execute and deliver to the Issuer for filing in each office in which any financing statement relative to the Assigned Collateral or the agreements relating thereto or any part thereof shall have been filed, a termination statement under the UCC releasing the Collateral Agent’s interest therein, and such other documents and instruments as the Issuer may reasonably request, all without recourse upon or warranty whatsoever by, the Collateral Agent, and at the cost and expense of the Issuer.

The Issuer and the Collateral Agent hereby agree that, if any Deposited Funds remain on deposit in the Collateral Account after the payment in full of all of the Obligations, such amounts shall, at the written request of the Issuer, be released by the Collateral Agent and paid to the Servicer.

Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns; Benefit of Agreement. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Issuer and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Issuer may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder except with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the holders of the Senior Notes), each Swap Counterparty, each of the Rating Agencies and each Subordinated Noteholder. This Security Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of the holders of the Notes, which are hereby expressly declared to be third party beneficiaries hereof. Subject to the foregoing, no Person not a party to this Security Agreement shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereof nor shall any Person be empowered to enforce the provisions of this Security Agreement, except as set forth in the preceding sentence, or in Section 11.17, and to the extent such Person becomes a permitted successor or assign hereunder.
