expressed as negative numbers is the one with the largest absolute
value).

For
the purpose of sub-paragraph (4) of the definition of Market Quotation, Party

B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations, Party A shall use

a
“Ratings Event” shall occur in that event that (1) Party A's short-term
unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “A-1” by Standard

Withdrawal, (A) give notice to Party B of the occurrence of such Ratings
Withdrawal, and (B) (i) transfer (at its own cost) Party A’s rights and
obligations hereunder to another party, subject to satisfaction of the Rating

senior unsecured deposit ratings of Party A are withdrawn by S&P or cease to
be at least BBB- and A-3 by S&P.
“Rating
Agency Condition” means, with respect to any action taken or to be taken, a
condition that is satisfied when S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch have confirmed in

to
the Certificates.
(ii)
Xxxxx’x Downgrade Provisions.
(A) Xxxxx’x
First Rating Trigger Collateral.
For
purposes of this section, if Party A has failed to comply with or perform any
obligation to be complied with or performed by Party A in accordance with the
Credit Support Annex from time to time entered into between Party A and Party
B
in relation to this Agreement and either (x) the Xxxxx’x Second Rating Trigger
Requirements do not apply or (y) less than 30 Local Business Days have elapsed
since
the last time the Xxxxx’x
Second
Rating Trigger Requirements did not apply, such
failure
by Party A to comply with the provisions set forth above shall constitute an
Additional Termination Event for which Party A shall be the sole Affected
Party.
(B) Xxxxx’x
Second Rating Trigger Replacement. It
shall be an Additional termination Event with respect to Party A as sole
Affected Party if
(x) the
Xxxxx’x Second Rating Trigger Requirements apply and 30 or more Local Business
Days have elapsed since the last time the Xxxxx’x Second Rating Trigger
Requirements did not apply and (y) (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 5(m)(ii) below and/or (ii) at least one entity with the Xxxxx’x First
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 A’s present and future obligations under
this Agreement
For
the
purpose of sub-paragraph (B) and (C) above:
“Eligible
Guarantee” means an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee that is provided by
a guarantor as principal debtor rather than surety and is directly enforceable
by Party B, where either (A) a law firm has given a legal opinion confirming
that none of the guarantor’s payments to Party B under such guarantee will be
subject to withholding for Tax or (B) such guarantee provides that, in the
event
that any of such guarantor’s payments to Party B are subject to withholding for
tax, such guarantor is required to pay such additional amount as is necessary
to
ensure that the net amount actually received by Party B (free and clear of
any
withholding tax) will equal the full amount Party B would have received had
no
such withholding been required.
9
“Eligible
Replacement” means an entity (A) with the Xxxxx’x First Trigger Required Ratings
or (B) whose present and future obligations owing to Party B are guaranteed
pursuant to an Eligible Guarantee provided by a guarantor with the Xxxxx’x First
Trigger Required Ratings
“Firm
Offer” means an offer which, when made, was capable of becoming legally binding
upon acceptance.
“Xxxxx’x
Short-term Rating” means a rating assigned by Xxxxx’x under its short-term
rating scale in respect of an entity’s
short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations.
“Relevant
Entities” means Party A and any guarantor under an Eligible Guarantee in respect
of all of Party A’s present and future obligations under this
Agreement.
An
entity
shall have the “Xxxxx’x First Trigger Required Ratings” (x) where such entity is
the subject of a Xxxxx’x Short-term Rating, if such rating is “Prime-1”
and its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt or counterparty obligations
are rated “A2” or above by Xxxxx’x and (y) where such entity is not the subject
of a Xxxxx’x Short-term Rating, if its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated
debt or counterparty obligations are rated “A1” or above by Xxxxx’x.
The
“Xxxxx’x Second Rating Trigger Requirements” shall apply so long as no Relevant
Entity has the Second Trigger Required Ratings.
An
entity
shall have the “Xxxxx’x Second Trigger Required Ratings” (x) where such entity
is the subject of a Xxxxx’x Short-term Rating, if such rating is “Prime-2”
or above and its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations are
rated “A3” or above by Xxxxx’x and (y) where such entity is not the subject of a
Xxxxx’x Short-term Rating, if its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt
obligations are rated “A3” or above by Xxxxx’x.
So
long as the Xxxxx’x
Second
Rating Trigger Requirements apply,
Party A
will at its own cost use commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as
reasonably practicable, procure either
(x) an Eligible Guarantee
in
respect of all of Party A’s present and future obligations under this Agreement
to be provided by a guarantor with the Xxxxx’x First Trigger Required Ratings
and/or the Xxxxx’x Second Trigger Required Ratings
or (y) a
transfer in accordance with Section 9(ii) below.

of
Party B. Any transfer pursuant to this Section will require that
the
transferee enter into a Regulation AB indemnification agreement
substantially similar to the one previously entered into by Party
A.
|
10
(b)
|
Subject
to Section 9(v) below, Party A may (at its own cost) transfer all
or
substantially all of its rights and obligations with respect to this
Agreement to any other entity (a “Transferee”)

and (ii)
for the HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-4, in the case of the

|
(“Party

|
(“Party

|
For
the
avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may
be
contained in the Agreement, this Credit Support Annex shall relate solely
to the
Transaction documented in the Confirmation dated June 14, 2007, between Party

This
Annex supplements, forms part of, and is subject to, the above-referenced
Agreement, is part of its Schedule and is a Credit Support Document under
this
Agreement with respect to each party.
Accordingly,
the parties agree as follows:
Paragraph
1. Interpretation
(a) Definitions
and Inconsistency.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein or elsewhere in this Agreement
have the meanings specified pursuant to Paragraph 12, and all references
in this
Annex to Paragraphs are to Paragraphs of this Annex. In the event of any
inconsistency between this Annex and the other provisions of this Schedule,
this
Annex will prevail, and in the event of any inconsistency between Paragraph
13
and the other provisions of this Annex, Paragraph 13 will prevail.
(b) Secured
Party and Pledgor.
All
references in this Annex to the “Secured Party” will be to either party when
acting in that capacity and all corresponding references to the “Pledgor” will
be to the other party when acting in that capacity; provided, however, that
if
Other Posted Support is held by a party to this Annex, all references herein
to
that party as the Secured Party with respect to that Other Posted Support
will
be to that party as the beneficiary thereof and will not subject that support
or
that party as the beneficiary thereof to provisions of law generally relating
to
security interests and secured parties.
Paragraph
2. Security Interest
Each
party, as the Pledgor, hereby pledges to the other party, as the Secured
Party,
as security for its Obligations, and grants to the Secured Party a first
priority continuing security interest in, lien on and right of Set-off against
all Posted Collateral Transferred to or received by the Secured Party hereunder.
Upon the Transfer by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of Posted Collateral,
the
security interest and lien granted hereunder on that Posted Collateral will
be
released immediately and, to the extent possible, without any further action
by
either party.
Paragraph
3. Credit Support Obligations
(a) Delivery
Amount.
Subject
to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a 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 Pledgor’s 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). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the
“Delivery

applicable to the Pledgor for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by
which:
(i) the
Credit Support Amount
exceeds
(ii) the
Value
as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured
Party.
(b) Return
Amount.
Subject
to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Pledgor on or promptly
following a Valuation Date, if the Return Amount for that Valuation Date
equals
or exceeds the Secured Party’s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Secured Party
will Transfer to the Pledgor Posted Credit Support specified by the Pledgor
in
that demand having a Value as of the date of Transfer as close as practicable
to
the applicable Return Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless
otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the “Return
Amount”
applicable to the Secured Party for any Valuation Date will equal the amount
by
which:
(i) the
Value
as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured
Party
exceeds
(ii) the
Credit Support Amount.
“Credit
Support Amount”
means,
unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, for any Valuation Date (i) the
Secured Party’s Exposure for that Valuation Date plus (ii) the aggregate of all
Independent Amounts applicable to the Pledgor, if any, minus (iii) all
Independent Amounts applicable to the Secured Party, if any, minus (iv) the

and
the Value as of the Recalculation Date by:
(A) utilizing
any calculations of Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions)

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 Agent’s

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.

a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will notify
each
party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) not later than

of Posted Collateral.
Without
limiting the Secured Party’s 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 Pledgor’s 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 any 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
(ii) register
any Posted Collateral in the name of the Secured Party, its Custodian or
a
nominee for either.
For
purposes of the obligation to Transfer Eligible Credit Support or Posted
Credit
Support pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 5 and any rights or remedies authorized
under this Agreement, the Secured Party will be deemed to continue to hold
all
Posted Collateral and to receive Distributions made thereon, regardless of
whether the Secured Party has exercised any rights with respect to any Posted
Collateral pursuant to (i) or (ii) above.
4
(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 Local 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.
Paragraph
7. Events of Default
For
purposes of Section 5(a)(iii)(1) of this Agreement, an Event of Default will
exist with respect to a party if:
(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

Annex with respect to any of the rights specified in Paragraph 6(c) and that

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

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.
5
Each
party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of securities
may decline speedily in value and is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, and, accordingly, the Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice of
any
sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party, except any notice that
is
required under applicable law and cannot be waived.
(b) Xxxxxxx’s
Rights and Remedies.
If at
any time an Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the

Party,

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;
(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:
(A) Set-off
any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations against
any
Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of any Posted Collateral held by
the
Secured Party (or any obligation of the Secured Party to Transfer that Posted
Collateral); and
(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.

(iii) upon
the
Transfer of any Eligible Collateral to the Secured Party under the terms

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

or
the Pledgor in connection with the liquidation and/or application of any

Rate
multiplied by the Value of the items of property that were required to be
Transferred, from (and including) the date that Posted Collateral or Interest
Amount was required to be Transferred to (but excluding) the date of Transfer

6(c).
