Payment of amounts hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds no later than the later of (a) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date and (b) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the second Business Day following presentation to State Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., as Fiscal Agent for MBIA or any successor fiscal agent appointed by MBIA (the “Fiscal Agent”) (as hereinafter provided) and MBIA of a notice for payment in the form of Exhibit A hereto (“Notice for Payment”), appropriately completed and executed by the Indenture Trustee.  A Notice for Payment under this Policy may be presented to the Fiscal Agent and MBIA on any Business Day following the Determination Date in respect of which the Notice for Payment is being presented, by (a) delivery of the original Notice for Payment to the Fiscal Agent and MBIA at its respective address set forth below, or (b) facsimile transmission of the original Notice for Payment to the Fiscal Agent and MBIA  at its respective facsimile number set forth below.  If presentation is made by facsimile transmission, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) simultaneously confirm transmission by telephone to the Fiscal Agent and MBIA at its respective telephone number set forth below, and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver the original Notice for Payment to the Fiscal Agent and MBIA at its respective address set forth below.  Any Notice for Payment received by the Fiscal Agent or MBIA after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, or on any day that is not a Business Day, will be deemed to be received by the Fiscal Agent and MBIA on the next succeeding Business Day.

Subject to the foregoing, if the payment of any amount previously distributed to an Owner in respect of the Notes that is recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy with respect to the Trust, the Seller or the Originator pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.), as amended from time to time, in accordance with a nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction is voided (“Avoided Payment”), MBIA will make such Avoided Payment on behalf of the Owner to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order (as defined below) and not to any Owner directly, unless such Owner has previously paid such Avoided Payment to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case MBIA will make such Avoided Payment to such Owner upon receipt by the Fiscal Agent and MBIA from the Indenture Trustee on behalf of such Owner of (i) a certified copy of a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction to the effect that the Owner is required to return

any such payment or portion thereof prior to the Termination Date of this Policy because such payment was voided under applicable law (the “Final Order”) together with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to MBIA that such Final Order is final and not subject to appeal, (ii) an assignment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, properly completed and executed by such Owner irrevocably assigning to MBIA all rights and claims of such Owner relating to or arising under such Avoided Payment, (iii) a Notice for Payment in the form of Exhibit A hereto appropriately completed and executed by the Indenture Trustee and (iv) appropriate instruments to effect the appointment of MBIA as agent for such Owner in any legal proceeding relating to such Avoided Payment.

MBIA shall make payments due in respect of Avoided Payments no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the Business Date following the Fiscal Agent’s and MBIA’s receipt of the documents required under clauses (i) through (iv) of the preceding paragraph.  Any such documents received by the Fiscal Agent or MBIA after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day or on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received by the Fiscal Agent and MBIA prior to 12:00 noon on the next succeeding Business Day.  All payments made by MBIA hereunder on account of any Avoided Payment shall be made to the receiver or the trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order on behalf of Owner and not to any owner directly unless such Owner has returned such Avoided Payment to such receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case such payment will be disbursed to such Owner.

If any Notice for Payment received by the Fiscal Agent and MBIA is not in proper form or is otherwise insufficient for the purpose of making a claim hereunder, it shall be deemed no to have been received by the Fiscal Agent and MBIA, and the Fiscal Agent or MBIA shall promptly so advise the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee may submit an amended Notice for Payment.

Payments due hereunder unless otherwise stated herein will be disbursed by the Fiscal Agent to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Owners by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of such payment, less, in respect of Avoided Payments, any amounts held by the Indenture Trustee for the payment of such Avoided Payment and legally available therefor.

The Fiscal Agent is agent of MBIA only, and the Fiscal Agent shall in no event be liable to Owners for any acts of the Fiscal Agent or any failure of MBIA to deposit or cause to be deposited sufficient funds to make payments due under this Policy.

MBIA shall be subrogated to the rights of each Owner to receive payments under the Notes to the extent of any payment by MBIA hereunder.

MBIA hereby waives and agrees not to assert any and all rights to require the Indenture Trustee to make demand on or to proceed against any person, party or security prior to the Indenture Trustee demanding payment under this Policy.

No defenses, set-offs and counterclaims of any kind available to MBIA so as to deny payment of any amount due in respect of this Policy will be valid and MBIA hereby waives and agrees not to assert any and all such defenses (including, without limitation, fraud in the inducement or fact, or any other circumstances that would have the effect of discharging a surety at law or in equity), set-offs and counterclaims, including, without limitation, any such rights acquired by subrogation, assignment or otherwise.  Any rights of subrogation acquired by MBIA as a result of any payment made under this Policy shall, in all respects, be subordinate and junior

in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due to the Indenture Trustee on account of payments due under the Notes.

MBIA’s obligations under this Policy shall be discharged to the extent funds to pay the Insured Obligation are deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account in accordance with the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement or disbursed by MBIA as provided in this Policy, whether or not such funds are properly applied by the Indenture Trustee.

This Policy is neither transferable nor assignable, in whole or in part, except to a successor to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.  All notices, presentations, transmissions, deliveries and communications made by the Indenture Trustee to MBIA with respect to this Policy shall specifically refer to the number of this Policy and shall be made to MBIA at:

The obligations of MBIA under this Policy are irrevocable, primary, absolute and unconditional (except as expressly provided herein) and neither the failure of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Originator, HACC, the Subservicer, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any other person to perform any covenant or obligation in favor of MBIA (or otherwise), nor the failure or omission to make a demand permitted hereunder, not the commencement of any bankruptcy, debtor or other insolvency proceeding by or against the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Originator, HACC, the Subservicer, , the Owner Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any other person shall in any way affect or limit MBIA’s obligations under this Policy.  If a successful action or proceeding to enforce this Policy is brought by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover from MBIA costs and expenses reasonably incurred, including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.

This Policy and the obligations of MBIA hereunder shall terminate on the date (the “Termination Date”)that is one year and one day following the earlier of (a) the Final Scheduled

Distribution Date and (b) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to the Owners have been paid in full, provided, that, if any Insolvency Proceeding is existing by or against the Originator, the Trust, the Seller or the Bank during such one year and one day period, then this Policy and MBIA’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the date of the conclusion or dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding without continuing jurisdiction by the court in such Insolvency Proceeding, provided, further that, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Policy shall not terminate prior to the date on which MBIA has made all payments required to be made under the terms of this Policy in respect of Avoided Payments.

All payments made hereunder by MBIA shall be made with MBIA’s own funds.  The payment by MBIA to the Indenture Trustee of any amount guaranteed by the first paragraph of this Policy, and the payment by MBIA of any Avoided Payment shall constitute “payments” for all purposes under this Policy.  In no event shall any payment be made under this Policy on account of (a) the failure of the Indenture Trustee to deliver the proceeds of any such payment to any Owner or (b) the failure of any such Owner to claim any such proceeds from the Indenture Trustee.

This Policy is not covered by the property/casualty insurance fund specified in Article Seventy-Six of the New York State insurance law.

This Policy sets forth in full the undertaking of MBIA, and shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the express terms hereof, be modified, altered or affected by any other agreement or instrument, including any modification or amendment thereto and may not be canceled or revoked by MBIA prior to the Termination Date.  The Premium on this Policy is not refundable for any reason.

This Policy shall be returned to MBIA by the Indenture Trustee on the Termination Date.

THIS POLICY SHALL BE CONSTRUED, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, MBIA has caused this Policy to be executed on the date first written above.
