Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Swap
Transaction (the “Primary Basis Swap”) entered into between Citibank, N.A. (“Party A” or the
“Counterparty”) and SWIFT Master Auto Receivables Trust (“Party B” or the “Trust”) as of the Trade
Date listed below (the “Transaction”). This letter constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in
the Primary ISDA Agreement specified below.
1. | The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between those definitions and provisions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. The parties agree that this transaction is a Transaction under the ISDA Master Agreement of the parties dated as of October 16, 2007. The agreement is comprised of the printed form of such agreement as published by ISDA, as supplemented and modified by a Schedule (the “Primary ISDA Agreement”). | |
This Confirmation constitutes a binding agreement between you and us and will supplement, form a part of, and be subject to the Primary ISDA Agreement described above as amended and supplemented from time to time. | ||
The Counterparty and the Trust acknowledge that this Transaction relates to the Series 2007-2 Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class B (the “Reference Notes”) issued by the Trust for value pursuant to and subject to the Indenture and the Series 2007-2 Indenture Supplement. | ||
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein, in the Primary ISDA Agreement, in the Definitions or in the Series 2007-2 Indenture Supplement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, as applicable. | ||
All references to “dollars” or to “$” shall be references to amounts in United States Dollars. | ||
2. | The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows: | |
Type of Transaction: Rate Swap Transaction. | ||
Notional Amount: $92,100,000 with respect to the initial Calculation Period. The Notional Amount with respect to each Calculation Period thereafter shall be equal to the Reference Note Balance as of the close of business on the Payment Date at the beginning of the relevant Calculation Period (as set forth in the Calculation Statement (defined below) delivered by GMAC to the Counterparty on or prior to the Determination Date relating to such Calculation Period pursuant to Section 3 below). | ||
Trade Date: October 10, 2007. | ||
Effective Date: October 16, 2007. |
Termination Date: The earlier of the close of business on (i) the Series 2007-2 Legal Maturity

Calculation Period, divided by 360.
Trust Floating Amount: With respect to any Payment Date, an amount equal to the

The Default Rate will be applied on the basis of Compounding as if the overdue amount were a Notional Amount and using daily Compounding Dates, and interest will accrue and be payable before as well as after judgment. | ||
3. | Calculations and Notifications: On or before each Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Counterparty Floating Amount and the Trust Floating Amount due on the immediately following Payment Date and the Calculation Agent shall notify the Counterparty and the Trust in writing of the basis of its calculations and such amounts. | |
In addition, on each Determination Date the Trust shall deliver to the Counterparty (by facsimile with hard copy to follow) a statement (the “Calculation Statement”) setting forth with respect to the close of business on the immediately preceding Distribution Date the Reference Note Balance as of such Distribution Date. | ||
The Trust will give the Counterparty prompt written notice of any Default under the Indenture. | ||
4. | Credit Downgrade: |
(A) Moody’s Downgrade: In the event that the Joint Probability is reduced below Aa3, in the
case of Moody’s, the Counterparty shall promptly notify the Trust (and any permitted assignee or
transferee of the Trust) and GMAC of such event and (unless, within thirty (30) days after such
reduction, the applicable Rating Agency has reconfirmed in writing the ratings of the Reference
Notes and the Other Securities that were in effect immediately prior to such reduction) the
Counterparty shall at its own cost within thirty (30) days of such reduction, with the prior
written confirmation of the applicable Rating Agency that such arrangement will not result in
the reduction of the rating of any of the Reference Notes or the Other Securities existing
immediately prior to the reduction of the applicable Joint Probability, either:
2
(1) (x) obtain a Substitute Swap Provider acceptable to the Trust, such acceptance to be
deemed to exist unless the Indenture Trustee provides a reasonable basis for objection to
such Substitute Swap Provider within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notice from the
Counterparty, and replace this Transaction with a swap transaction on substantially similar
terms or with such other amendments as consented to in writing by the Trust (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided such replacement would result in a Moody’s
Joint Probability of at least Aa3, except that such Substitute Swap Provider shall
thenceforth be the “Counterparty” hereunder; or (y) replace, with the consent of the
then-current Offsetting Counterparty, the swap transaction with the then-current Offsetting
Counterparty with a swap transaction with a replacement Offsetting Counterparty or enter
into a swap transaction with another party such that such party shall be acting as an
intermediary between the Counterparty and the then-current Offsetting Counterparty (such
replacement or intermediary being the “Replacement Offsetting Counterparty”), in either case
on terms approved by Moody’s; or
(2) post collateral pursuant to the ISDA Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) hereto, obtain an
Eligible Guarantee; or
(3) enter into such other credit support arrangements to assure performance by the
Counterparty of its obligations under this Transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Joint Probability is reduced below A3, in
the case of Moody’s, then the Counterparty shall promptly notify the Trust (and any permitted
assignee or transferee of the Trust) and the Offsetting Counterparty of such event and (unless,
within thirty (30) days after such reduction the applicable Rating Agency has reconfirmed in
writing the ratings of the Reference Notes and the Other Securities that were in effect
immediately prior to such reduction) the Counterparty shall at its own cost within thirty (30)
days of such reduction, with the prior written confirmation of the applicable Rating Agency that
such arrangement will not result in the reduction of the rating of any of the Reference Notes or
the Other Securities existing immediately prior to the reduction of the applicable Joint
Probability as a direct result of the reduction of such Joint Probability, obtain a Substitute
Swap Provider acceptable to the Trust, such acceptance to be deemed to exist unless the
Indenture Trustee provides a basis for objection to such Substitute Swap Provider within two (2)
Business Days of receipt of notice from the Counterparty, and replace this Transaction with a
swap transaction on substantially similar terms or with such other amendments as consented to in
writing by the Trust (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) provided such
replacement would result in a Moody’s Joint Probability of at least Aa3, except that such
Substitute Swap Provider shall thenceforth be the “Counterparty” hereunder.
(B) Fitch Downgrade: In the event that the short-term rating assigned by Fitch to the
unsecured, unsubordinated debt of the Counterparty falls below “F1” or the long-term debt rating
assigned by Fitch to the unsecured, unsubordinated debt of the Counterparty falls below “A”
(such downgrade, a “Fitch Downgrade”), then, the Counterparty shall promptly notify the Trust
(and any permitted assignee or transferee of the Trust) and GMAC of such Fitch Downgrade and the
Counterparty shall at its own cost within thirty (30) calendar days of such reduction, either:
(1) (x) obtain a Substitute Swap Provider acceptable to the Trust, such acceptance to be
deemed to exist unless the Indenture Trustee provides a reasonable basis for objection to
such Substitute Swap Provider within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notice from the
Counterparty, and replace this Transaction with a swap transaction on substantially similar
terms or with such other amendments as consented to in writing by the Trust (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided such replacement would result in a Fitch
unsecured, unsubordinated debt rating of at least “A” (long-term) and “F1” (short-term),
except that such Substitute Swap Provider shall thenceforth be the “Counterparty” hereunder;
or
(2) post collateral pursuant to the CSA; or
(3) provide an Eligible Guarantee; or
(4) enter into such other credit support arrangements to assure performance by the
Counterparty of its obligations under this Transaction.
3
Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that the short-term rating assigned by Fitch to the
unsecured, unsubordinated debt of the Counterparty falls below “F3” or the long-term debt rating
assigned by Fitch to the unsecured, unsubordinated debt of the Counterparty falls below “BBB-”
(such additional downgrade, a “Fitch Additional Downgrade”), then the Counterparty shall
promptly notify the Trust (and any permitted assignee or transferee of the Trust) and GMAC of
such Fitch Additional Downgrade and the Counterparty shall within thirty (30) calendar days of
such reduction, satisfy the requirements set forth in either sub-paragraph 4(B)(1), (3) or (4)
above.
(C) S&P Downgrade.
(1) If an S&P Collateralization Event occurs with respect to each Relevant Entity, the
Counterparty shall at its sole expense, post collateral pursuant to the CSA for the benefit
of the Trust in the amount and on the terms then applicable under the CSA. At any time
following an S&P Collateralization Event, if the Counterparty elects, the Counterparty may
assign its rights and obligations under this Transaction to a Substitute Swap Provider in
accordance with Part 5(f) of the Schedule; provided that (A) no termination payments or
other settlement amounts are payable by the Trust to either the Counterparty or the
Substitute Swap Provider at the time of or as a result of such assignment by the
Counterparty and (B) any termination payments or other settlement amounts are to be settled
directly between the Counterparty and the Substitute Swap Provider. Alternatively, the
Counterparty may elect to obtain for the benefit of the Trust an Eligible Guarantee of all
of the Counterparty’s obligations under this Transaction; provided that the guarantor is an
Eligible Guarantor. Upon the successful consummation of any assignment to a Substitute Swap
Provider or the delivery of an Eligible Guarantee as contemplated in this Section 4(C)(1),
any obligation of the Counterparty to post and maintain collateral under the CSA shall
terminate and the Trust shall return to the Counterparty any then-posted collateral (it
being understood that until such time, if any, as the Counterparty completes the assignment
of its rights and obligations hereunder to a Substitute Swap Provider or procures an
Eligible Guarantee of such obligations, the Counterparty shall remain obligated to post
Eligible Collateral to the extent and on the terms required by the CSA).
(2) If an S&P Substitution Event occurs with respect to each Relevant Entity, the
Counterparty shall (a) within 10 Local Business Days of the occurrence of such S&P
Substitution Event and at its sole expense, post Eligible Collateral for the benefit of the
Trust in the amount and on the terms then applicable under the CSA, and (b) use commercially
reasonable efforts to, within 60 calendar days of the occurrence of such S&P Substitution
Event, either (1) assign its rights and obligations under this Transaction to a Substitute
Swap Provider in accordance with Part 5(f) of the Schedule, provided that (A) no termination
payments or other settlement amounts are payable by the Trust to either the Counterparty or
the Substitute Swap Provider at the time of or as a result of such assignment by the
Counterparty and (B) any termination payments or other settlement amounts are to be settled
directly between the Counterparty and the Substitute Swap Provider; or (2) procure an
Eligible Guarantee of the Counterparty’s obligations hereunder by a guarantor that is an
Eligible Guarantor. Upon the successful consummation of any assignment to a Substitute Swap
Provider or the delivery of any Eligible Guarantee as contemplated in this Section 4(C)(2),
any obligation of the Counterparty to post and maintain collateral under the CSA shall
terminate and the Trust shall return to the Counterparty any then-posted collateral.
Upon any assignment of this Transaction to a Substitute Swap Provider, any and all collateral
posted by the Counterparty shall be returned to it within three (3) Business Days and any other
form of collateral arrangement (including letters of credit, surety bond or other guarantee)
provided by or on behalf of the Counterparty shall terminate.
In the event that the Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations set forth above in this
Section 4, such failure shall be treated as a Termination Event with the Counterparty as the
Affected Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Counterparty and the Trust acknowledge and
agree that any such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default.

6. | Limited Recourse: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but without limiting the Counterparty’s rights under Section 5(a)(i) of the Primary ISDA Agreement, all of the obligations of the Trust shall be payable by the Trust only at the times and to the extent of funds available therefor under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and, to the extent such funds are not available or are insufficient for the payment thereof, shall not constitute a claim against the Trust to the extent of such unavailability or insufficiency until such time as, and then to the extent that, the Trust has assets sufficient to pay such prior deficiency. This paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement but in all cases shall expire one year and one day after the final payment with respect to all notes and certificates issued by the Trust. | |

8. | To the extent that a capitalized term in this Transaction is defined by reference to a related definition contained in any Trust Document, for purposes of this Transaction only, such capitalized term shall be deemed to be amended only if the amendment of the term in a Trust Document relating to such capitalized term occurs with the prior written consent of the Counterparty. |

Agreement as the Depositor, or its successor in interest pursuant to Section 3.3 of the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

“Preceding Semi-Monthly Period”: with respect to a Calculation Period, means the Semi-Monthly
Period in the preceding calendar month corresponding to the Semi-Monthly Period in which such

Calculation Period is the Semi-Monthly Period from April 16 through April 30).
“Prime Rate”: with respect to a Calculation Period, means the interest rate designated by GMAC

is based on the “prime rate” or “corporate base rate” announced by certain financial institutions
selected by GMAC LLC immediately prior to such Preceding Semi-Monthly Period.
“Reference Bank Rate”: means for any Calculation Period for any Payment Date, the per annum

is two LIBOR Business Days prior to the first day of the Calculation Period related to such Payment
Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month, in amounts
approximately equal to the principal amount of the Reference Notes then outstanding. The
Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of the reference banks to

more major banks in New York City, selected by the Calculation Agent, as of 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on that date to leading European banks for United States dollar deposits for a period of
one month in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount of the Reference Notes then

service, or if that service is no longer offered, any other service commonly used in the interbank
market for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the Indenture Trustee after
consultation with the Depositor), then LIBOR will be the Reference Bank Rate.
