(d) Servicer agrees to pay to the Note Insurer as follows: interest on any and all amounts described in subclauses (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 3.03 from the date payable or paid by such party until payment thereof in full, and interest on any and all amounts described in Section 3.02 from the date due until payment thereof in full, in each case, payable to the Note Insurer at the Late Payment Rate per annum.

(e) The Servicer agrees to pay to the Note Insurer as follows: any payments made by the Note Insurer on behalf of, or advanced to, the Servicer or the Originator, respectively, including, without limitation, any amounts payable by the Servicer or Originator pursuant to the Notes or any other Transaction Documents.

(f) [Reserved]

All such amounts are to be immediately due and payable without demand.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, none of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay to the Note Insurer for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by the Note Insurer to any of the COAF Companies under applicable state or federal law from time to time in effect, and none of the COAF Companies shall ever be required to pay interest in excess of such maximum amount. If, for any reason, interest is paid hereunder in excess of such maximum amount, then promptly upon any determination that such excess has been paid the Note Insurer will, at its option, either refund such excess to the payor thereof or apply such excess to the principal owing by such payor hereunder.

Section 3.04. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a) In addition to any and all rights of indemnification or any other rights of the Note Insurer pursuant hereto or under law or equity, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Originator and any successor thereto agree to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless, the Note Insurer and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls the Note Insurer within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act (the “Note Insurer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants and auditors and reasonable costs of investigations) or obligations whatsoever paid by the Note Insurer Indemnified Parties (herein collectively referred to as “Liabilities”) of any nature (but excluding lost profits and other consequential damages) arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by reason of:

(i) any act or omission of any COAF Company in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes other than by reason of false or misleading Note Insurer Information or Underwriter Information;

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any of the Capital One Information or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iii) the misfeasance or malfeasance of, or negligence or theft committed by, any director, officer, employee or agent of any COAF Company;

(iv) the violation by any COAF Company of any federal or state securities, banking or antitrust laws, rules or regulations in connection with the issuance, offer and sale of the Notes or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents;

(v) the violation by any COAF Company of any federal or state laws, rules or regulations relating to the Transaction or the origination of the Receivables, including, without limitation, any consumer protection, lending and disclosure laws or any laws with respect to the maximum amount of interest permitted to be received on account of any loan of money or with respect to the Receivables;

(vi) the breach by the Servicer, the Issuer or the Originator of any of its obligations under this Insurance Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (other than breaches under Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.2, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement); and

(vii) the breach by the Servicer, the Issuer or the Originator of any representation or warranty on the part of the Servicer, the Issuer or the Originator contained in this Insurance Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate or report furnished or delivered to the Note Insurer thereunder other than any breach for which the remedy under the Transaction Documents is the repurchase of a Receivable, provided that such Receivable has been repurchased in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

In addition, the Servicer will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate.

This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of this Insurance Agreement and shall survive until the statute of limitations has run on any causes of action which arise from one of these reasons and until all suits filed as a result thereof have been finally concluded.

(b) In addition to any and all rights of indemnification or any other rights of the Servicer, the Issuer and the Originator pursuant hereto or under law or equity, the Note Insurer agrees to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Originator and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls the Servicer, the Issuer or the Originator within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act (the “Capital One Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities

(including penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants and auditors and reasonable costs of investigations) or obligations whatsoever paid by the Capital One Indemnified Parties (herein collectively referred to as “Liabilities”) of any nature arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by reason of:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any of the Note Insurer Information or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that it is understood that the Note Insurer has provided the Note Insurer Information in connection with its role as credit enhancer, which consists solely of the obligation to pay claims, if any, under and in accordance with the express terms of the Note Policy;

(ii) a breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements of the Note Insurer contained in Section 2.06 hereof; or

(iii) any failure of the Note Insurer to make a payment required to be made under the Policies.

(c) Any party which proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 3.04 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 3.04(c), notify the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served. In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses other than reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its counsel in any such action the defense of which is assumed by the indemnifying party in accordance with the terms of this subsection (c), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless the employment of counsel by such indemnified party has been authorized by the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its consent.

Section 3.05. Payment Procedure. In the event of any payment by the Note Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer agree to accept the voucher or other

evidence of payment as prima facie evidence of the propriety thereof and the liability therefor to the Note Insurer. All payments to be made to the Note Insurer under this Insurance Agreement shall be made to the Note Insurer in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds at the notice address for the Note Insurer as specified in the Indenture on the date when due or as the Note Insurer shall otherwise direct by written notice to the other parties hereto. In the event that the date of any payment to the Note Insurer or the expiration of any time period hereunder occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment or expiration of time period shall be made or occur on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such payment was made or time period expired on the scheduled date of payment or expiration date. Payments to be made to the Note Insurer under this Insurance Agreement shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date when due to the date paid.

Section 3.06. Subrogation. The parties hereto acknowledge that, to the extent of any payment made by the Note Insurer pursuant to the Policies, the Note Insurer shall be fully subrogated to the extent of such payment plus interest thereon at the Late Payment Rate, to the rights of the Noteholders or the Swap Counterparty, as applicable, to any moneys paid or payable in respect of the Notes or the Swap Agreement, as applicable, under the Transaction Documents or otherwise subject to applicable law. The parties hereto agree to such subrogation and further agree to execute such instruments and to take such actions as, in the sole and reasonable judgment of the Note Insurer, are necessary to evidence such subrogation and to perfect the rights of the Note Insurer to receive any such moneys paid or payable in respect of the Notes or the Swap Agreement, as applicable, under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

Section 3.07. Reimbursement. The parties hereto acknowledge that, to the extent of any payment made by the Note Insurer pursuant to the Policies, the Note Insurer has the right to be reimbursed such amounts plus interest thereon at the Late Payment Rate, pursuant to the Indenture, and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.4(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and in accordance with the priorities set forth therein for reimbursement of the Note Insurer.

ARTICLE IV

FURTHER AGREEMENTS

(b) To the extent permitted by law, the COAF Companies agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further instruments as the Note Insurer may reasonably request and as may be required in the Note Insurer’s reasonable judgment to effectuate the intention of or facilitate the performance of this Insurance Agreement.

(a) The obligations of the COAF Companies hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall be paid or performed strictly in accordance with this Insurance Agreement under all circumstances irrespective of:

(b) The Note Insurer shall have the right to give participations in its rights under this Insurance Agreement and to enter into contracts of reinsurance with respect to the Policies upon such terms and conditions as the Note Insurer may in its discretion determine; provided, however, that no such participation or reinsurance agreement or arrangement shall relieve the Note Insurer of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Policies.

(d) Except as provided herein with respect to participants and reinsurers, nothing in this Insurance Agreement shall confer any right, remedy or claim, express or implied, upon any Person, including, particularly, any Owner, other than the Note Insurer against any COAF Company, and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer nor any Owner shall have any right to payment from any Premiums paid or payable hereunder or under the Indenture or from any other amounts paid by any COAF Company pursuant to Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof.

Section 4.05. Liability of the Note Insurer. Neither the Note Insurer nor any of its officers, directors or employees shall be liable or responsible for (a) the use that may be made of the Policies by the Indenture Trustee, or the Swap Counterparty, as applicable, or for any acts or omissions of the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith; or (b) the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of documents delivered to the Note Insurer in connection with any claim under the Policies, or of any signatures thereon, even if such documents or signatures should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged (unless the Note Insurer shall have actual knowledge thereof). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Note Insurer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

Section 4.06. Nonpetition Covenant.

parties hereto shall commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.07. Parties To Join in Enforcement Action.

(a) To the extent necessary to enforce any right of the Note Insurer in or remedy of the Note Insurer under any Receivable or related asset, the Issuer and each COAF Company agree to join in any action initiated by the Indenture Trustee or the Note Insurer and the Indenture Trustee agrees to join in any action initiated by the Note Insurer for the protection of such right or exercise of such remedy.

(b) In the event of any court proceeding (x) with respect to which a COAF Company is a party (including, without limitation, an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of any COAF Company) which affects the Trust Estate, the Policies or the obligations of the Note Insurer under the Transaction Documents, and (y) with respect to which such COAF Company fails to defend or answer, the Note Insurer shall have the right to direct, assume or otherwise participate in the defense thereof. In such event, the Note Insurer shall, following written notice to the Indenture Trustee, have the exclusive-right to determine, in its sole discretion, the actions necessary to preserve and protect the Trust Estate. All costs and expenses of the Note Insurer in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation, (including, without limitation, any judgment or settlement entered into or paid by the Note Insurer), shall be included in the Reimbursement Obligations.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall cooperate with, and take such action as directed by, the Note Insurer, including (without limitation) entering into such agreements and settlements as the Note Insurer in its sole discretion shall direct with respect to such court proceeding. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable to the Note Insurer for any such action that conforms to the direction of the Note Insurer. The Indenture Trustee’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) with respect to any such action shall be reimbursed pursuant to the Indenture in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.4(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that if such costs and expenses are not so reimbursed on the Payment Date immediately following the date incurred, then the Note Insurer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for such costs and expenses within 60 days of such nonpayment.

(d) The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to provide to the Note Insurer prompt written notice of any action, proceeding or investigation that names the Owner Trustee or the Issuer as a party or that could adversely affect the Trust Estate or the rights or obligations of the Note Insurer hereunder or under the Policies or the other Transaction Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicer, the Originator, the Seller or any affiliate thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the Note Insurer’s prior written consent or unless directed by the Note Insurer, undertake or join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation affecting the Owner Trustee, the Issuer or the Trust Estate or the rights or obligations of the Note Insurer hereunder or under the Policies or the other Transaction Documents.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that the related documents or the subject matter thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not seek and hereby waive the right to any review of the judgment of any such court by any court of any other nation or jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of such judgment.
