(i) | Limitation on Termination Events by Party A and Party B. The Termination Events specified in Section 5 of this Agreement shall not apply to Party A or Party B except for the following: |
(i) | With respect to both Party A and Party B, Section 5(b)(i) of this Agreement (Illegality); | ||

2
upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition (as defined below) assumes the obligations of Party A under this Agreement (through a novation or other assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Party B) or (2) having provided prior written notice to S&P and Fitch, replaces the outstanding Transactions hereunder with transactions on identical terms, except that Party A shall be replaced as counterparty (provided that such Eligible Replacement, as of the date of such assumption or replacement, will not, as a result thereof, be required to withhold or deduct on account of tax under the Agreement or the new Transactions, as applicable, and such assumption or replacement will not lead to a Termination Event or Event of Default occurring under the Agreement or new Transactions, as applicable). With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party A shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. |
(ii) | Second Rating Trigger. (1) The Second Rating Trigger Requirements apply and 30 or more Local Business Days have elapsed since the last time the Second Rating Trigger Requirements did not apply and (2) (x) at least one Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer (which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance) to be the transferee of a transfer to be made in accordance with Part 6(a) below and/or (y) at least one entity with the First Trigger Required Ratings and/or the Second Trigger Required Ratings has made a Firm Offer (which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by the offeree) to provide an Eligible Guarantee in respect of all of Party As present and future obligations under this Agreement. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party A shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(iii) | Ratings Event. Party A fails to comply with any downgrade provisions as set forth in Part 5(b), after giving effect to the relevant time frame specified therein, and (i) at least one Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer (which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance) to be the transferee of a transfer to be made in accordance with Part 6(a) below and/or (ii) at least one entity with the Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement has made a Firm Offer (which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by the offeree) to provide an Eligible Guarantee in respect of all of Party As present and future obligations under this Agreement. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party A shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(iv) | Regulation AB Matters. Party A fails to comply with Part 6(n)(ii) of this Agreement. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party A shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(v) | Termination. Party B is dissolved. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(vi) | Acceleration. The Trustee declares the Notes due and payable for any reason and such declaration is (or becomes) unrescindable or irrevocable. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(vii) | Redemption. Any mandatory redemption, auction call redemption, optional redemption, tax redemption, clean-up call or other prepayment in full or repayment in full of all Notes outstanding occurs under the Indenture (or any notice is given to that effect and such mandatory redemption, auction call redemption, optional redemption, tax redemption, clean-up call or other prepayment or repayment is not capable of being rescinded). With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(viii) | Default. Any Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) occurs under the Indenture (or any notice is given by the Trustee or any other authorized party to that effect), the Notes have been declared due and payable under the Indenture (and such declaration has not been rescinded and |
3
annulled in accordance with the Indenture), and the Trustee, the Noteholders or any other party authorized under the terms of the Basic Documents or by law: (1) initiates procedures to sell, liquidate or dispose of any of the Collateral under the Indenture; (2) institutes Proceedings for the collection of all amounts payable under the Indenture; (3) institutes Proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral; or (4) exercises any remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to the Collateral, and any such action is not to judgment or final decree. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions; provided, however, in connection with the foregoing Additional Termination Event, for purposes of designating any Early Termination Date, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6(a) of the Agreement to the contrary, either Party A or Party B shall be permitted to designate an Early Termination Date. | |||
(ix) | Amendment. Any Basic Document is amended or modified without the prior written consent of Party A if the consent of Party A is required pursuant to the terms of the related Basic Document; provided, however, that it shall not be an Additional Termination Event where such amendment or modification involves the appointment of any successor trustee, securities administrator, master servicer or servicer pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(x) | MBIA fails, at any time during the term of this Agreement, to have (a) a claims paying ability rating of A- or above from S&P, (b) a financial strength rating of A3 or above from Moodys or (c) a financial strength rating of A- or above from Fitch and either (x) an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing with respect to which Party B is the Defaulting Party or (y) a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to which Party B is the Affected Party. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(xi) | MBIA fails to meet its payment obligations under the Swap Policy with respect to Fixed Amounts (as defined in the related Confirmation) (other than Termination Payments) due from Party B and such failure is continuing under the Swap Policy. With respect to the foregoing Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party and all Transactions shall be Affected Transactions. | ||
(xii) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 of this Agreement, if either an Event of Default or Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, (other than with respect to Section 5(b)(i) or an Additional Termination Event described in Part 1(j)(iv), (x) or (xi)), neither Party A nor Party B shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date unless either (a) MBIA has failed to pay any payment due to Party A under the terms and conditions of the Swap Policy with respect to Fixed Amounts (other than Termination Payments), which failure is continuing, or (b) MBIA has otherwise consented to such designation in writing. Any purported designation in violation of this provision will, at the election of MBIA, be void and of no effect. | ||
(xiii) | If any Event of Default under this Agreement occurs with respect to Party B as the Defaulting Party, then MBIA (so long as it has not failed to pay any payment due to Party A under the terms and conditions of the Swap Policy) shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon notice to Party A to designate an Early Termination Date with respect to Party B with the same effect as if such designation were made by Party A. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, an Event of Default with respect to Party B shall be considered to be continuing, notwithstanding any payment by MBIA under the Swap Policy. The parties acknowledge that, except as the Swap Policy may be otherwise endorsed, unless MBIA designates an Early Termination Date (as opposed to merely consenting to such designation by one of the parties), payments due from Party B because an Early Termination Date has been designated will not be insured. |
4
(k) | Calculations. Notwithstanding Section 6 of this Agreement, for so long as Party A is (A) the sole Affected Party in respect of an Additional Termination Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or (B) the Defaulting Party in respect of any Event of Default, the following shall apply: |
(A) | If, on the day falling ten Local Business Days after the day on which the Early Termination Date is designated or such later day as Party B may specify in writing to Party A (but in either case no later than the Early Termination Date) (such day the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day), no Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions has been accepted by Party B so as to become legally binding and one or more Market Quotations have been made and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, the Settlement Amount shall equal the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether positive or negative) of the lowest of such Market Quotations (for the avoidance of doubt, the lowest negative number shall equal the largest absolute value such that, for example, negative 3 shall be lower than negative 2); or | ||
(B) | If, on the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day, no Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions is accepted by Party B so as to become legally binding and no Market Quotations have been made and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, the Settlement Amount shall equal Party Bs Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid amounts) for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions. |
(iii) | For the purpose of clause (4) of the definition of Market Quotation, Party B shall determine in its sole discretion, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, whether a Firm Offer is made in respect of a Replacement Transaction with commercial terms substantially the same as those of |
5
this Agreement (save for the exclusion of provisions relating to Transactions that are not Terminated Transactions); provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Part 1(k), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Party A from obtaining Market Quotations. | |||
(iv) | At any time on or before the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day at which two or more Market Quotations remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, Party B shall be entitled to accept only the lowest of such Market Quotations. | ||
(v) | If Party B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations, Party A shall use its reasonable efforts to do so before the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day. | ||
(vi) | If the Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3) of this Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: | ||
Second Method and Market Quotation. If Second Method and Market Quotation (without giving effect to the modifications to the definition of Market Quotation in Part 1(k) hereof) apply, (1) Party B shall pay to Party A an amount equal to the absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, (2) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (3) Party A shall pay to Party B the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party B; provided that, (i) the amounts payable under (2) and (3) shall be subject to netting in accordance with Section 2(c) of this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under (3) shall not be netted-off against any amount payable by Party B under (1). |
(l) | Designation of Early Termination Date; Amendments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Party B shall not designate an Early Termination Date, and no transfer of any rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be made, unless each Rating Agency has been given prior written notice of such amendment, designation or transfer. Furthermore, this Agreement will not be amended unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. | |
(m) | No Suspension of Payments. Notwithstanding Section 2(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Party A shall not suspend any payments due under an Insured Transaction (as defined below) under Section 2(a)(iii) unless MBIA is in default in respect of any payment obligations under the Swap Policy. | |
(n) | Replacement. Party A agrees that if Party B or MBIA has a right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Part 1(j)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, then, (i) upon the request of MBIA or Party B with the consent of MBIA, Party A shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure a replacement Transaction at its own expense (and at no expense to Party B) with a swap counterparty on the same terms as this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, or else with such amendments to the terms of this Agreement (A) as have been confirmed by S&P and Moodys as not resulting in a reduction, withdrawal or suspension of the ratings assigned to the Notes without regard to the presence of the Note Policy and (B) as have been approved by MBIA or (ii) Party A may, at its sole option, elect to procure a replacement Transaction at its own expense (and at no expense to Party B) with a swap counterparty acceptable to MBIA on the same terms as this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, or else with such amendments to the terms of this Agreement (A) as to which the Rating Agency Condition have been met and (B) as have been approved by MBIA. |
(a) | Payer Tax Representations. For the purpose of Section 3(e) of this Agreement, each party makes the following representation: None. |
(b) | Gross Up. Section 2(d)(i)(4) shall not apply to Party B as X, and Section 2(d)(ii) shall not apply to Party B as Y, in each case such that Party B shall not be required to pay any additional amounts referred to therein. |
6
(c) | Indemnifiable Tax. The definition of Indemnifiable Tax in Section 14 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: | |
Indemnifiable Tax means, in relation to payments by Party A, any Tax and, in relation to payments by Party B, no Tax; provided that nothing herein will modify a partys right to terminate by reason of a Tax Event Upon Merger. | ||
(d) | Payee Tax Representations. For the purpose of Section 3(f) of this Agreement: |

In addition, in the case of any tax form that is a Periodic Tax Form required to be delivered by Party B under this Agreement, Party B agrees to renew such tax form prior to its expiration by completing, executing and delivering to Party A that tax form (Renewal Tax Form) in each succeeding third year following the year of execution of any such tax form or Renewal Tax Form delivered by Party B to Party A under this Agreement so that Party A receives each Renewal Tax Form not later than December 31 of the relevant year. Periodic Tax Form means any U.S. IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8EXP that is delivered by Party B to Party A without a U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number. | |||
(ii) | Tax Forms to be Delivered by Party A: | ||
None specified. | |||

(a) | 2000 ISDA Definitions. This Agreement and each Transaction are subject to the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including its Annex) published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

The provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions are incorporated by reference in, and shall form part of, this Agreement and each Confirmation. Any reference to a Swap Transaction in the 2000 ISDA Definitions is deemed to be a reference to a Transaction for purposes of this Agreement or any Confirmation, and any reference to a Transaction in this Agreement or any Confirmation is deemed to be a reference to a Swap Transaction for purposes of the 2000 ISDA Definitions. The provisions of this Agreement (exclusive of the 2000 ISDA Definitions) shall prevail in the event of any conflict between such provisions and the 2000 ISDA Definitions. | |

Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the consent of the Owner Trustee, the Trustee or any Noteholder for the performance by Party B of any of its obligations hereunder. | ||

17
each Rating Agency (other than Moodys) confirms that the amendment, modification or waiver will not cause the reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating on any Notes under the Indenture (without giving effect to the Note Policy). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Swap Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Transactions may be entered into by Party A and Party B pursuant to this Agreement other than the two Transactions memorialized by Confirmations dated as of July 26, 2007, and no waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of either such Confirmation or any of the other terms of this Agreement may be made without the prior written consent of MBIA (so long as no Swap Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). |

18
violate or conflict with any of the provisions of the Basic Documents applicable to it or any other documents executed in connection therewith; and that under the terms of the Basic Documents applicable to it, neither the consent of the Owner Trustee, the Trustee nor of any of the Noteholders under the Basic Documents is required for Party B to enter into that Transaction or for Party A to be entitled for that Transaction to the rights, interests and benefits granted to Party A under the Basic Documents. | |||

Nothing shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, Party A (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by Party B or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than Party A, or (ii) from commencing against Party B or any of the Collateral any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation or similar proceeding.

(vi) | Promptly after the indemnified party under Part 6(n)(v) receives notice of the commencement of any such action, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made pursuant to Part 6(n)(v), promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof.

(t) | Swap Policy Coverage. Party A and Party B hereby each acknowledge and agree that MBIAs obligation with respect to the Insured Transactions shall be limited to the terms of the Swap Policy.

1
(a) | Delivery Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon demand made by the Secured Party on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Pledgors Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Pledgor will Transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support having a Value as of the date of Transfer at least equal to the applicable Delivery Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13).

2
(a) | Conditions Precedent. Each Transfer obligation of the Pledgor under Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the Secured Party under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5 and 6(d) is subject to the conditions precedent that: |
(i) | no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Specified Condition has occurred and is continuing with respect to the other party; and | ||
(ii) | no Early Termination Date for which any unsatisfied payment obligations exist has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the other party. |
(b) | Transfer Timing. Subject to Paragraphs 4(a) and 5 and unless otherwise specified, if a demand for the Transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support is made by the Notification Time, then the relevant Transfer will be made not later than the close of business on the next Local Business Day; if a demand is made after the Notification Time, then the relevant Transfer will be made not later than the close of business on the second Local Business Day thereafter. |

3
(i) | In the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Exposure and the Value as of the Recalculation Date by: |
(A) | utilizing any calculations of Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions) that the parties have agreed are not in dispute; | ||
(B) | calculating the Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions) in dispute by seeking four actual quotations at mid-market from Reference Market-makers for purposes of calculating Market Quotation, and taking the arithmetic average of those obtained; provided that if four quotations are not available for a particular Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then fewer than four quotations may be used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and if no quotations are available for a particular Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then the Valuation Agents original calculations will be used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); | ||
(C) | utilizing the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating the Value, if disputed, of Posted Credit Support. |
(ii) | In the case of a dispute involving the Value of any Transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Value as of the date of Transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13. |
4
(a) | Care of Posted Collateral. Without limiting the Secured Partys rights under Paragraph 6(c), the Secured Party will exercise reasonable care to assure the safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the extent required by applicable law, and in any event the Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it exercises at least the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to its own property. Except as specified in the preceding sentence, the Secured Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral, including, without limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce or preserve any rights pertaining thereto. |
(b) | Eligibility to Hold Posted Collateral; Custodians. |
(i) | General. Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in Paragraph 13 for holding Posted Collateral, the Secured Party will be entitled to hold Posted Collateral or to appoint an agent (a Custodian) to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party. Upon notice by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of the appointment of a Custodian, the Pledgors obligations to make any Transfer will be discharged by making the Transfer to that Custodian. The holding of Posted Collateral by a Custodian will be deemed to be the holding of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party for which the Custodian is acting. | ||
(ii) | Failure to Satisfy Conditions. If the Secured Party or its Custodian fails to satisfy conditions for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a demand made by the Pledgor, the Secured Party will, not later than five Local Business Days after the demand, Transfer or cause its Custodian to Transfer all Posted Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those conditions. | ||
(iii) | Liability. The Secured Party will be liable for the acts or omissions of its Custodian to the same extent that the Secured Party would be liable hereunder for its own acts or omissions. |
(c) | Use of Posted Collateral. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and without limiting the rights and obligations of the parties under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5, 6(d) and 8, if the Secured Party is not a Defaulting Party or an Affected Party with respect to a Specified Condition and no Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then the Secured Party will, notwithstanding Section 9-207 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, have the right to: |
(i) | sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise use in its business any Posted Collateral it holds, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption by the Pledgor; and |
5
(ii) | register any Posted Collateral in the name of the Secured Party, its Custodian or a nominee for either. |
(d) | Distributions and Interest Amount. |
(i) | Distributions. Subject to Paragraph 4(a), if the Secured Party receives or is deemed to receive Distributions on a Local Business Day, it will Transfer to the Pledgor not later than the following Business Day any Distributions it receives or is deemed to receive to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that Transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose). | ||
(ii) | Interest Amount. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and subject to Paragraph 4(a), in lieu of any interest, dividends or other amounts paid or deemed to have been paid with respect to Posted Collateral in the form of Cash (all of which may be retained by the Secured Party), the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor at the times specified in Paragraph 13 the Interest Amount to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that Transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose). The Interest Amount or portion thereof not Transferred pursuant to this Paragraph will constitute Posted Collateral in the form of Cash and will be subject to the security interest granted under Paragraph 2. |
(i) | that party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any Transfer of Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount, as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure continues for two Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that party; | ||
(ii) | that party fails to comply with any restriction or prohibition specified in this Annex with respect to any of the rights specified in Paragraph 6(c) and that failure continues for five Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that party; or |
6
(iii) | that party fails to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation other than those specified in Paragraphs 7(i) and 7(ii) and that failure continues for 30 days after notice of that failure is given to that party. |
(a) | Secured Partys Rights and Remedies. If at any time (1) an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Pledgor has occurred and is continuing or (2) an Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Pledgor, then, unless the Pledgor has paid in full all of its Obligations that are then due, the Secured Party may exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: |

(ii) | any other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the terms of Other Posted Support, if any; | ||

(iv) | the right to liquidate any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party through one or more public or private sales or other dispositions with such notice, if any, as may be required under applicable law, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption by the Pledgor (with the Secured Party having the right to purchase any or all of the Posted Collateral to be sold) and to apply the proceeds (or the Cash equivalent thereof) from the liquidation of the Posted Collateral to any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations in that order as the Secured Party may elect. |
(b) | Pledgors Rights and Remedies. If at any time an Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then (except in the case of an Early Termination Date relating to less than all Transactions (or Swap Transactions) where the Secured Party has paid in full all of its obligations that are then due under Section 6(e) of this Agreement): |
(i) | the Pledgor may exercise all rights and remedies available to a Pledgor under applicable law with respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party; |
7
(ii) | the Pledgor may exercise any other rights and remedies available to the Pledgor under the terms of Other Posted Support, if any; | ||
(iii) | the Secured Party will be obligated immediately to Transfer all Posted Collateral and the Interest Amount to the Pledgor; and | ||
(iv) | to the extent that Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount is not so Transferred pursuant to (iii) above, the Pledgor may: |

(B) | to the extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A) above, withhold payment of any remaining amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations, up to the Value of any remaining Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party, until that Posted Collateral is Transferred to the Pledgor. |
(c) | Deficiencies and Excess Proceeds. The Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor any proceeds and Posted Credit Support remaining after liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) after satisfaction in full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations; the Pledgor in all events will remain liable for any amounts remaining unpaid after any liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b). |
(d) | Final Returns. When no amounts are or thereafter may become payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations (except for any potential liability under Section 2(d) of this Agreement), the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor all Posted Credit Support and the Interest Amount, if any. |
(i) | it has the power to grant a security interest in and lien on any Eligible Collateral it Transfers as the Pledgor and has taken all necessary actions to authorize the granting of that security interest and lien; | ||
(ii) | it is the sole owner of or otherwise has the right to Transfer all Eligible Collateral it Transfers to the Secured Party hereunder, free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other restrictions other than the security interest and lien granted under Paragraph 2; |
8
(iii) | upon the Transfer of any Eligible Collateral to the Secured Party under the terms of this Annex, the Secured Party will have a valid and perfected first priority security interest therein (assuming that any central clearing corporation or any third-party financial intermediary or other entity not within the control of the Pledgor involved in the Transfer of that Eligible Collateral gives the notices and takes the action required of it under applicable law for perfection of that interest); and | ||
(iv) | the performance by it of its obligations under this Annex will not result in the creation of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance on any Posted Collateral other than the security interest and lien granted under Paragraph 2. |
(a) | General. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 10(b) and 10(c), each party will pay its own costs and expenses in connection with performing its obligations under this Annex and neither party will be liable for any costs and expenses incurred by the other party in connection herewith. |
(b) | Posted Credit Support. The Pledgor will promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments or charges of any nature that are imposed with respect to Posted Credit support held by the Secured Party upon becoming aware of the same, regardless of whether any portion of that Posted Credit Support is subsequently disposed of under Paragraph 6(c), except for those taxes, assessments and charges that result from the exercise of the Secured Partys rights under Paragraph 6(c). |
(c) | Liquidation/Application of Posted Credit Support. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Secured Party or the Pledgor in connection with the liquidation and/or application of any Posted Credit Support under Paragraph 8 will be payable, on demand and pursuant to the Expenses Section of this Agreement, by the Defaulting Party or, if there is no Defaulting Party, equally by the parties. |
(a) | Default Interest. A Secured Party that fails to make, when due, any Transfer of Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount will be obliged to pay the Pledgor (to the extent permitted under applicable law) an amount equal to interest at the Default Rate multiplied by the Value of the items of property that were required to be Transferred, from (and including) the date that the Posted Collateral or Interest Amount was required to be Transferred to (but excluding) the date of Transfer of that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount. This interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. |

Promptly following a demand made by a party, the other party will execute, deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific assignment or other document and take any other action that may be necessary or desirable and reasonably requested by that party to create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interest or lien |

granted under Paragraph 2, to enable that party to exercise or enforce its rights under this Annex with respect to Posted Credit Support or an Interest Amount or to effect or document a release of a security interest on Posted Collateral or an Interest Amount. |
(c) | Further Protection. The Pledgor will promptly give notice to the Secured Party of, and defend against, any suit, action, proceeding or lien that involves Posted Credit Support Transferred by the Pledgor or that could adversely affect the security interest and lien granted by it under Paragraph 2, unless that suit, action, proceeding or lien results from the exercise of the Secured Partys rights under Paragraph 6(c). |

Ref. No. | 53262236 |
Transaction Type: | Interest Rate Swap | |
Currency for Payments: | U.S. Dollars | |
Notional Amount: | For the purpose of the initial Calculation Period, the Notional Amount will be equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class A-3-B Notes of Party B as of the Closing Date. The Notional Amount shall reset on each Distribution Date and will at all times be equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class A-3-B Notes of Party B as of the first day of the relevant Calculation Period; provided, however, that if (a) an Event of Default occurs under Section 5.1 of the Indenture, (b) the Insurer exercises its rights to declare the Notes immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Indenture and (c) as a result the principal balance of the Class A-3-B Notes is reduced to zero, (collectively, an Acceleration Event), then notwithstanding the foregoing, the Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in which such Distribution Date falls and for each Calculation Period thereafter, through and including the Termination Date, shall mean the Notional Amount set forth on the attached Schedule A (the Scheduled Notional Amount) for such Calculation Period, assuming that Schedule A has been adjusted in accordance with the next two sentences. | |
On the Distribution Date or, in the event the outstanding principal balance of the Notes is reduced to zero pursuant to an Acceleration Event, a date that but for the occurrence of an Acceleration Event would have been a scheduled Distribution Date, immediately following an Acceleration Event, if the Notional Amount (calculated as equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class A-3-B Notes without giving effect to any principal reduction that occurs solely as a consequence of such Acceleration Event (the Note Balance Notional Amount)) is smaller than the Scheduled Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in respect of such Distribution Date, then (1) the Scheduled Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in respect of such Distribution Date shall be reduced to equal the Note Balance Notional Amount calculated above and (2) the Scheduled Notional Amount for each subsequent Calculation Period shall be equal to the Scheduled Notional Amount set forth on Schedule A for such Calculation Period multiplied by the percentage equivalent of a fraction equal to: (a) the Note Balance Notional Amount over (b) the Scheduled Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in respect of the Distribution Date immediately following the Acceleration Event. | ||
On the Distribution Date or, in the event the outstanding principal balance of the Notes is reduced to zero pursuant to an Acceleration Event, a date that but for the occurrence of an Acceleration Event would have been a scheduled Distribution Date, following an Acceleration Event, if the Note Balance Notional Amount is greater than or equal to the Scheduled Notional Amount, no adjustment to the Scheduled Notional Amount shall be made. | ||
For the purposes of determining the Settlement Amount in the event of an Early Termination of this Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, Market Quotation will be determined as if this Transaction |

Currency for Payments: | U.S. Dollars | |
Notional Amount: | For the purpose of the initial Calculation Period, the Notional Amount will be equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class A-4-B Notes of Party B as of the Closing Date. The Notional Amount shall reset on each Distribution Date and will at all times be equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class A-4-B Notes of Party B as of the first day of the relevant Calculation Period; provided, however, that if (a) an Event of Default occurs under Section 5.1 of the Indenture, (b) the Insurer exercises its rights to declare the Notes immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Indenture and (c) as a result the principal balance of the Class A-4-B Notes is reduced to zero, (collectively, an Acceleration Event), then notwithstanding the foregoing, the Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in which such Distribution Date falls and for each Calculation Period thereafter, through and including the Termination Date, shall mean the Notional Amount set forth on the attached Schedule A (the Scheduled Notional Amount) for such Calculation Period, assuming that Schedule A has been adjusted in accordance with the next two sentences. | |
On the Distribution Date or, in the event the outstanding principal balance of the Notes is reduced to zero pursuant to an Acceleration Event, a date that but for the occurrence of an Acceleration Event would have been a scheduled Distribution Date, immediately following an Acceleration Event, if the Notional Amount (calculated as equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class A-4-B Notes without giving effect to any principal reduction that occurs solely as a consequence of such Acceleration Event (the Note Balance Notional Amount)) is smaller than the Scheduled Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in respect of such Distribution Date, then (1) the Scheduled Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in respect of such Distribution Date shall be reduced to equal the Note Balance Notional Amount calculated above and (2) the Scheduled Notional Amount for each subsequent Calculation Period shall be equal to the Scheduled Notional Amount set forth on Schedule A for such Calculation Period multiplied by the percentage equivalent of a fraction equal to: (a) the Note Balance Notional Amount over (b) the Scheduled Notional Amount for the Calculation Period in respect of the Distribution Date immediately following the Acceleration Event. | ||
On the Distribution Date or, in the event the outstanding principal balance of the Notes is reduced to zero pursuant to an Acceleration Event, a date that but for the occurrence of an Acceleration Event would have been a scheduled Distribution Date, following an Acceleration Event, if the Note Balance Notional Amount is greater than or equal to the Scheduled Notional Amount, no adjustment to the Scheduled Notional Amount shall be made. | ||
For the purposes of determining the Settlement Amount in the event of an Early Termination of this Transaction pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, Market Quotation will be determined as if this Transaction |
