Recco and the Servicer hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Recco and the Servicer and in the name of Recco, the Servicer or in its own name, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all lawful and appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Recco and the Servicer hereby give the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of Recco and the Servicer, without notice to or assent by Recco or the Servicer, to do the following, in each case at the direction of the Controlling Party: (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Wind-Down Event, in the name of Recco, the Servicer or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account, Instrument, General Intangible or Contract and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account, Instrument, General Intangible or Contract whenever payable; (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Wind-Down Event, (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct and to notify the Lock-Box Banks to follow the instructions of the Collateral Agent; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Recco with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such 13 discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 11 hereof as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Controlling Party's option and Recco's or the Servicer's, as applicable, expense, at any time, or from time to time, all lawful acts and things which the Controlling Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Recco or the Servicer might do; (H) implement the Alternate Servicing Plan; (I) direct the Servicer to deliver any Files to the Collateral Agent at Recco's expense; and (J) compel the transfer of Recco's interest in all rights (by license, sublicense or otherwise) of any computer software necessary to collect the Contracts. Recco and the Servicer hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. (b) Other Powers. Recco also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 11 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral that it is directed by the Controlling Party to execute. (c) No Duty on Collateral Agent's Part. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Recco for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. SECTION 10. Performance by Collateral Agent of Recco's Obligations. If Recco fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Collateral Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by Recco to the Collateral Agent on demand or to the extent that funds are available under Section 4(b) or 5(b) (as the case may be) and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby. SECTION 11. Remedies. If a Wind-Down Event shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, at the direction of the Controlling Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon 14 Recco or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, at the direction of the Controlling Party, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Collateral Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Recco, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Recco further agrees, at the Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and the Files and make them available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall select, whether at Recco's premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order (consistent with Section 5(b)) as the Collateral Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to Recco. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Recco waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given (effective upon dispatch) in any manner provided in the Credit Agreement at least 10 days before such sale or disposition. Recco shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Upon the occurrence of a Wind-Down Event, Recco shall take such action or shall cause such action to be taken pursuant to any and all Interest Rate Hedge Mechanisms and/or enter into any Hedge Agreement at the sole expense of Recco promptly upon the request of the Controlling Party. SECTION 12. Limitation on Collateral Agent's Duties in Respect of Collateral. The Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. 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 upon the request of Recco or otherwise. To the extent the Collateral Agent receives written direction from either the Controlling Party or the Program Manager as provided herein, the party delivering such direction agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent from, any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, legal fees and expenses) with respect to or resulting 15 from any action or action set for to such direction; provided however under no circumstances will such party be liable for, or required to pay any amount pursuant to this paragraph resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. SECTION 13. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers of attorney, authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest. SECTION 14. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 15. Section and Paragraph Headings; Notices. (a) The section and paragraph headings used in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. (b) Notices to any of the signatories hereto shall be given as provided in the Credit Agreement. SECTION 16. Surety Bond. The Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Surety Bond for the benefit of the Lenders and at the written request and direction of the Program Manager, the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to make, on a timely basis, all drawings (including, without limitation, drawings in respect of Avoided Payments, as such term is defined in the Surety Bond) permitted to be made by delivery of a Notice of Payment under the Surety Bond and to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Program Manager for the benefit of the Lenders the proceeds of such drawings. SECTION 17. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act (except pursuant to the execution of a written instrument pursuant to Section 18 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Unmatured Wind-Down Event or Wind-Down Event or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Operative Documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. SECTION 18. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto and the Controlling Party and with prior written notice thereof to S&P and Moody's. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. 16 SECTION 19. Integration. This Security Agreement represents the agreement of Recco, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Agent, Recco and the Servicer relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Operative Documents. SECTION 20. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Security Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 22. Termination and Release. (a) This Security Agreement and the security interests created or granted hereby shall remain in full force and effect until the date after the Commitment Termination Date on which all of the Obligations are indefeasably paid in full in cash and the Surety Bond is returned for cancellation, at which time, following the receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice from the Program Manager that such Obligations have been so paid and from the Surety Provider that such Surety Bond has been returned, the security interest created or granted hereby shall terminate and the Collateral Agent shall, at the sole expense of Recco, execute and deliver such documents and instruments (including without limitation UCC termination statements) necessary to evidence the termination of such security interest, as Recco may reasonably request.
