Section 2.02 Perfection and Profit.

Xxxxx Fargo, hereby undertakes and agrees to act as “securities intermediary” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102 (a)(14) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”)).

The Collateral Agent shall give not less than 60 days’ prior written notice of any such permitted resignation by registered or certified mail to the other Secured Party and the Trust; provided, that such resignation shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of (i) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent and the acceptance in writing by such successor Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii) delivery of the Collateral to such successor to be held in accordance with the procedures specified in Article II hereof, and (iii) receipt by the Controlling Party of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if by the contemplated date of resignation specified in the written notice of resignation delivered as described above no successor Collateral Agent or temporary successor Collateral Agent has been appointed Collateral Agent and accepted such appointment or becomes the Collateral Agent

pursuant to subsection (d) hereof, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York for the appointment of a successor.

(c) Removal. The Collateral Agent may be removed by the Controlling Party at any time, with or without cause, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Party and the Issuer. A temporary successor may be removed at any time to allow a successor Collateral Agent to be appointed pursuant to subsection (d) below. Any removal pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (c) shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of (i) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent and the acceptance in writing by the successor Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii) delivery of the Collateral to such successor to be held in accordance with the procedures specified in Article II hereof and (iii) receipt by the Controlling Party of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 5.02.

(d) Acceptance by Successor. The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to appoint each successor Collateral Agent. Every temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to each Secured Party and the Trust an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the procedures specified in Article II hereof, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of either Secured Party or the Trust, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that any instrument in writing from the Trust or a Secured Party is reasonably required by a successor Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in such Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. The designation of any successor Collateral Agent and the instrument or instruments removing any Collateral Agent and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the transfer of the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent or to protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder.

Section 4.06 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify the Collateral Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents for, and hold the Collateral Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability) arising out

of or in connection with the Collateral Agent’s acting as Collateral Agent hereunder, except such loss, liability or expense as shall result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or its officers, employees, directors or agents. The obligation of the Trust under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of any Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent covenants and agrees that the obligations of the Trust hereunder and under Section 4.07 shall be limited to the amounts distributed pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iii) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement, and further covenants not to take any action to enforce its rights to indemnification hereunder with respect to the Trust and to payment under Section 4.07, or otherwise to assert any Lien or take any other action in respect of the Collateral, until the Final Termination Date.

Section 4.07 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Trust agrees for the benefit of the Secured Parties and as part of the Secured Obligations (a) to pay to the Collateral Agent, from time to time, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a collateral trustee); and (b) to reimburse the Collateral Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of, or carrying out its duties and obligations under, this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and fees and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, any independent certified public accountants and independent counsel), except any expense, disbursement or advances as may be attributable to gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent.

(d) Valid and Binding Agreement. Xxxxx Fargo has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and each of this Agreement and each such other Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Xxxxx Fargo, enforceable against Xxxxx Fargo, in accordance with its terms, except as (i) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.

Section 4.09 Waiver of Setoffs. The Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Collateral Agent may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to the Spread Account and agrees that amounts in the Spread Account shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 4.10 Control by the Controlling Party. The Collateral Agent shall comply with notices and instructions given by the Trust only if accompanied by the written consent of the Controlling Party, except that if any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall act upon and comply with notices and instructions given by the Controlling Party alone in the place and stead of the Trust.

The Trust will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such instruments of transfer or take such other steps or actions as may be necessary, or required by the Controlling Party, to perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder in the Collateral, to ensure that such Security Interests rank prior to all other Liens and to preserve the priority of such Security Interests and the validity and enforceability thereof.

Section 5.04 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws; Marshaling of Assets. The Trust covenants, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement or any absolute sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale under Article VII of this Agreement; and the Trust, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for itself and all who may claim under it, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

action, or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take action, will interfere with the enforcement of any rights under the Transaction Documents.

From and after the Insurer Termination Date, the Trustee shall be the Controlling Party hereunder until the Trustee Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Financial Security Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall be the Controlling Party until the applicable Trustee Termination Date. If prior to an Insurer Termination Date the Trustee shall have become the Controlling Party as a result of the occurrence of a Financial Security Default and either such Financial Security Default is cured or for any other reason ceases to exist or the Trustee Termination Date occurs, then upon such cure or other cessation or on such Trustee Termination Date, as the case may be, Financial Security shall, upon notice thereof being duly given to the Collateral Agent, again be the Controlling Party.

Section 6.02 Controlling Party’s Authority.

(a) The Trust hereby irrevocably appoints the Controlling Party, and any successor to the Controlling Party appointed pursuant to Section 6.01, its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Trust, the Secured Parties or otherwise, but at the expense of the Trust, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while any Insurance Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any or all of the following powers with respect to the Collateral: (i) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof, (ii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto, (iii) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal with the same or the proceeds thereof as fully and effectively as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and (iv) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustments with respect thereto.

(b) Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally constitutes and appoints the Controlling Party, and any successor to such Controlling Party appointed pursuant to Section 6.01 from time to time, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Secured Party for so long as such Secured Party is the Non-Controlling Party, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any notice, document, certificate, paper, pleading or instrument and to do in the name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead of such Secured Party such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of such Secured Party under this Agreement which such Secured Party could or might do or which may be necessary, desirable or convenient in such Controlling Party’s sole discretion to effect the purposes contemplated hereunder and, without limitation, exercise full right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts with respect to the administration of the Collateral, and the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, on behalf of and for the benefit of such Controlling Party and such Non-Controlling Party, as their interests may appear.

Section 6.03 Rights of Secured Parties. The Non-Controlling Party at any time expressly agrees that it shall not assert any rights that it may otherwise have, as a Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, to direct the maintenance, sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof, notwithstanding the occurrence and continuance of any Default or any nonperformance by the Trust of any obligation owed to such Secured Party hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, and each party hereto agrees that the Controlling Party shall be the only Person entitled to assert and exercise such rights.

Section 6.04 Degree of Care.

(a) Controlling Party. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Party shall incur no liability to the Trust for any action taken or omitted by the Controlling Party in connection with the Collateral, except for any

gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Controlling Party and, further, shall incur no liability to the Non-Controlling Party except for a breach of the terms of this Agreement or for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties, if any, to the Non-Controlling Party.

The Controlling Party shall, at all times, be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction the existence or nonexistence, as the case may be, of any fact the existence or nonexistence of which shall be a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

(b) The Non-Controlling Party. The Non-Controlling Party shall not be liable to the Trust for any action or failure to act by the Controlling Party or the Collateral Agent in exercising, or failing to exercise, any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 7.02 Waiver of Default. The Controlling Party shall have the sole right, to be exercised in its complete discretion, to waive any Default by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of such waiver signed by the Controlling Party and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Party and the Issuer. Any such waiver shall be binding upon the Non-Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent. Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

Section 7.03 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Collateral Agent has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the Trust, the Collateral Agent and each of the Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder,

and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 7.04 No Remedy Exclusive. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent, the Controlling Party or any of the Secured Parties is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise (but, in each case, shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement limiting such remedies), and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Controlling Party, and the exercise of or the beginning of the exercise of any right or power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.01 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall take such action and deliver such instruments to any other party hereto, in addition to the actions and instruments specifically provided for herein, as may be reasonably requested or required to effectuate the purpose or provisions of this Agreement or to confirm or perfect any transaction described or contemplated herein.

Section 8.02 Waiver. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.

Section 8.03 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall have been made or consented to in writing by each of the parties hereto and each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that such amendment will not cause a reduction or withdrawal of its rating on the Notes; notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Financial Security shall be the Controlling Party, amendments, modifications, waivers or supplements hereto, the Collateral or the Spread Account or any requirement hereunder to deposit or retain any amounts in such Spread Account or to distribute any amounts therein as provided in Section 3.03 shall be effective if made or consented to in writing by Financial Security, the Trust and the Collateral Agent (the consent of which shall not be withheld or delayed with respect to

any amendment that does not adversely affect the Collateral Agent), but shall in no circumstances require the consent of the Trustee or the Noteholders.

Section 8.04 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Agreement shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Collateral Agent, or any of the Secured Parties, hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties to pursue any other remedy available to it or them (subject, however, to the provisions of this Agreement limiting such remedies).

Section 8.05 Nonpetition Covenant. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not, prior to one year and one day after the payment in full of all the Notes and all Insurer Secured Obligations, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust to invoke the process of the United States of America, any State or other political subdivision thereof or any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to government for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case by or against the Trust under a Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust.

In addition, nothing contained herein shall restrict Financial Security from assigning to any Person pursuant to any liquidity facility or credit facility any rights of Financial Security under this Agreement or with respect to any real or personal property or other interests pledged to Financial Security, or in which Financial Security has a security interest, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The terms of any such assignment or participation shall contain an express acknowledgment by such Person of the condition of this Section and the limitations of the rights of Financial Security hereunder.
