Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
purpose of this letter agreement (“Agreement”)
is to
confirm the terms and conditions of the rate Swap Transaction entered into
on
the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”)
between The Bank of New York (“BNY”),
a
trust company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
New
York, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., not in its individual capacity, but solely
as

2006-11 Supplemental Interest Trust (in such capacity, the “Supplemental

or
the
“Counterparty”),
under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2006, among
Greenwich Capital Acceptance, Inc., as Depositor, Greenwich Capital Financial
Products, Inc., as Sponsor and Seller, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee
and Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee (the

This
Agreement, which evidences a complete and binding agreement between you and
us
to enter into the Transaction on the terms set forth below, constitutes a
“Confirmation”
as
referred to in the “ISDA

(as
defined below), as well as a “Schedule” as referred to in the ISDA Form Master
Agreement.
1. Form
of Agreement.
This Agreement is subject to the 2000

of 22
“Market
Quotation”
means,
with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions, an offer capable of
becoming legally binding upon acceptance made by a Reference Market-maker
with
ratings that meet the Collateralization Requirement or the Ratings Requirement,
as the case may be, for an amount that would be paid to the Counterparty
(expressed as a negative number) or by the Counterparty (expressed as a positive
number) in consideration of an agreement between the Counterparty and such
Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the “Replacement
Transaction”),
with
commercial terms substantially the same as those of this Agreement (save
for the
exclusion of provisions relating to Transactions that are not Terminated
Transactions) (which shall be determined by the Counterparty, acting in a
commercially reasonable manner), that would have the effect of preserving
the
economic equivalent for the Counterparty of any payment or delivery (whether
the
underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction
of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i)
in
respect of such Terminated Transactions or group of Terminated Transactions
that
would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have
been
required after that Date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of
the
Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions are to be excluded but, without
limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early
Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable
condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be
included.
“Settlement
Amount”
means,
with respect to any Early Termination Date: —
(a) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotation (whether positive
or
negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions
for which a Market Quotation is accepted by the Counterparty so as to become
legally binding on or before the day falling ten (10) Local Business Days
after
the day on which the Early Termination Date is designated (or such later
day not
be later than the Early Termination Date as the Counterparty may specify
in
writing to BNY); or (if there is no such accepted Market Quotation)
(b) the
Counterparty’s Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any
Unpaid amounts) for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions.
(ii) the
Counterparty and, if request is made in writing within two Local Business
Days
after the day on which the Early Termination Date is designated, BNY, shall
use
reasonable efforts to obtain one or more Market Quotations before the date
determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Settlement
Amount”.
(iii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 6(e)(i)(3) or Part 5(g), if the Settlement
Amount is a negative number, the Unpaid Amounts of BNY and the Counterparty
shall be subject to netting in accordance with Section 2(c).
(f) “Termination
Currency”
means
United States Dollars.
Page 7

(g) “Additional
Termination Event”

apply.
The
following shall constitute Additional Termination Events, and the party
specified shall be the Affected Party with respect thereto:—
(i) Termination
of Trust Fund.
The
Trust, Supplemental Interest Trust or Trust Fund shall be terminated pursuant
to
any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without
limitation, by exercise of the option to purchase and giving of notice under
Sections 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement). The
Early
Termination Date with respect to such Additional Termination Event shall
be the
Distribution Date upon which the Trust and the Supplemental Interest Trust
or
Trust Fund is terminated and final payment is made in respect of the
Certificates. Each of BNY and the Counterparty may designate an Early
Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event. The
Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.
(ii) Inability
to Pay Certificates.
The
Trust is unable to pay or fails or admits in writing its inability to pay
(i)
any interest with respect to the Class A Certificates or (ii) the ultimate
payment of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates, in either
case to
the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to be paid to the Class A Certificates. The Counterparty shall be the sole
Affected Party.
(iii) Amendment
of Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The
amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner which could
have a
material adverse affect on BNY without first obtaining the prior written
consent
of BNY (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), where such consent
is
required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Counterparty shall
be
the sole Affected Party.
(iv) Collateralization
or Ratings Event.
A
Collateralization Event or Ratings Event (as defined in Paragraph 4(8)(a)
has
occurred and is continuing and BNY fails to comply with the provisions of
Paragraph 4(8)(b) within the time periods set out therein, and, with respect
to
a Ratings Event, at least one substitute counterparty has made an offer which
remains capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance to be the Transferee
of an assignment, transfer or replacement in accordance with Paragraph
4(8)(b)(2)(A)). BNY shall be the sole Affected Party.
(v) Regulation
AB.
BNY
shall fail to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 4(9) within the time

not
apply to Counterparty as Y, such that Counterparty shall not be required
