|

Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A.
not in its individual capacity, but solely as the Trust Administrator,
on
behalf of the TBW
Mortgage-Backed Trust Series 2006-4
(“Party
B”)
|
have
entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions
(each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed
by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the
“Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a
“Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Interpretation
(a) Definitions.
The
terms
defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein
specified for
the
purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) Inconsistency.
In
the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other
provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event
of
any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master
Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the
purpose of the relevant Transaction.
(c) Single
Agreement.
All
Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement
and
all
Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred
to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any
Transactions.
2. Obligations
(a) General
Conditions.
(i) Each
party will make each payment or delivery specified
in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement.
(ii) Payments
under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in
the
place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise
pursuant to this Agreement, in
freely
transferable
funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required
currency. Where settlement is by
delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for
receipt on the due date in the manner
customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified
in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere
in this Agreement.
(iii) Each
obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i)
is
subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event
of
Default or Potential Event of Default with respect
to the other party has occurred and is
continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in
respect of
the
relevant Transaction
has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other
applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.
(b) Change
of Account.
Either
party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by
giving
notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the
scheduled date for the payment or
delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely
notice of a reasonable objection to
such
change.
(c) Netting.
If
on any
date amounts would otherwise be payable:—
(i) in
the
same currency; and
(ii) in
respect of the same Transaction,
by
each
party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make
payment of any such amount will
be
automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount
that would otherwise have been payable
by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise
have been payable by the other party,
replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount
would have been payable
to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the
smaller
aggregate amount.
The
parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will
be
determined in respect of
all
amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such
Transactions,
regardless of whether
such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The
election may be made in the Schedule
or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply
to
the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with
the
starting
date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above
will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This
election may be made separately
for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to
each
pairing of Offices through which
the
parties make and receive payments or deliveries.
(d) Deduction
or Withholding for Tax.
(i) Gross-Up.
All
payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction
or withholding
for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required
by
any applicable
law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority,
then in effect.
If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”)
will:—
(1) promptly
notify the other party (“Y”)
of
such
requirement;
(2) pay
to
the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted
or withheld (including
the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from
any
additional amount paid
by X
to Y under this Section 2(d))
promptly
upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required
or receiving notice that such amount has
been
assessed against
Y;
(3) promptly
forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or
other
documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such
authorities; and
(4) if
such
Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which
Y is
otherwise
entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as
is
necessary to ensure that the
net
amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes,
whether
assessed against
X
or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such
deduction or withholding
been required. However, X will not be required to pay any
additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid
but for:—
2
(A) the
failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
contained in Section
4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii)
or 4(d);
or
(B) the
failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be
accurate
and true
unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken
by
a
taxing authority,
or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which
a
Transaction
is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with
respect
to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.
(ii) Liability.
If:—
(1) X
is
required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant
governmental
revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in
respect of which X would
not
be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
(2) X
does
not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a
liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,
then,
except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability
resulting from such Tax, Y will
promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related
liability
for interest, but including
any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or
perform any agreement
contained in Section 4(a)(i),
4(a)(iii)
or 4(d)).
(e) Default
Interest; Other Amounts.
Prior
to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the
performance of any payment
obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section
6(c),
be
required to pay interest (before
as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand
in
the same currency as
such
overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original
due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the
Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily
compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence
or
effective designation of
an
Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a
party
defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent
provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this
Agreement.
3. Representations
Each
party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to
be
repeated by each party on
each
date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the
representations in Section 3(f),
at
all
times
until the termination of this Agreement) that:—
(a) Basic

It
is
duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of
its
organisation
or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good
standing;

the power to execute this Agreement and any other documentation relating
to
this
Agreement to which
it is a
party, to deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating
to
this
Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to
perform its obligations under
this Agreement and any obligations it has under any Credit Support Document
to which it
is
a
party
and has taken all necessary action to authorise such execution, delivery
and performance;
(iii) No
Violation or Conflict.
Such
execution,
delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with

any order or judgment of
any
court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets
or
any contractual restriction
binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;
3

have
been
complied with;
and
(v) Obligations
Binding. Its
obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to
which
it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable
in accordance with
their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation,
insolvency, moratorium
or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to
enforceability, to equitable
principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding
in equity or at law)).
(b) Absence
of Certain
Events. No Event
of
Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination
Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or
circumstance would occur
as
a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement
or
any
Credit Support Document
to which it is a party.
(c) Absence
of Litigation.
There
is
not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its
Affiliates
any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court,
tribunal, governmental body, agency

or enforceability against it of this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability
to perform its obligations under
this Agreement or such Credit Support Document.
(d) Accuracy
of Specified
Information.
All
applicable information that is furnished in writing by or on behalf
of
it to the other party and is identified for the purpose of this Section 3(d)
in
the Schedule is, as of the date of the information, true, accurate and complete
in every material respect.

4. Agreements
Each
party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or
may
have any obligation under this Agreement
or under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party:—
(a) Furnish
Specified Information.
It
will
deliver to the other party or, in certain cases under subparagraph
(iii) below, to such government or taxing authority as the other party
reasonably
directs:—
(i) any
forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in
the
Schedule or any Confirmation;
(ii) any
other
documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; and
(iii) upon
reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document that may be required
or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party
or
its
Credit Support Provider to make
a
payment under this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support
Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax
or
with such deduction or withholding at
a
reduced
rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or
document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of
the
party in receipt of such demand), with
any
such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to
such
other party and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required
certification,
4
in
each
case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none
is
specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Maintain
Authorisations.
It
will
use all reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all
consents
of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained
by it with respect to this Agreement
or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use all
reasonable efforts
to obtain any
that
may become necessary in the future.
(c) Comply
with Laws.
It
will
comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and orders to
which
it
may be subject if failure so to comply would materially impair its ability
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document
to which it is a party.
(d) Tax
Agreement.
It
will
give notice of any failure of a representation made by it under Section
3(f)
to
be
accurate and true promptly upon learning of such failure.
(e) Payment
of Stamp Tax. Subject
to Section 11, it will pay any
Stamp
Tax levied or imposed upon it or in respect of its execution or performance
of
this Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organised,
managed and controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which a branch
or
office through which
it
is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located (“Stamp Tax
Jurisdiction”) and will indemnify the
other
party against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect
of the other party’s execution
or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction which is
not
also a Stamp Tax
Jurisdiction with respect to the other party.
5. Events
of
Default and Termination Events
(a) Events
of Default.
The
occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit
Support
Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any of the
following events constitutes an
event
of default (an “Event of Default”) with respect to such party:—
(i) Failure
to Pay or Deliver.
Failure
by the party to make, when due, any payment under this Agreement
or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or

required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied
on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given
to the party;
(ii) Breach
of Agreement.
Failure
by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation

under Section 2(a)(i)
or

or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation
under
Section 4(a)(i),
4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to
be
complied with or performed by the party in accordance with
this
Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the thirtieth day after
notice of such
failure is given to the party;
(iii) Credit
Support Default.
(1) Failure
by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or
perform
any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by it in accordance
with
any
Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable
grace
period
has elapsed;
(2) the
expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or
ceasing of
such
Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this
Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms) prior to
the
satisfaction of all obligations of
such
party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates
without the written consent of the other party; or
5
(3) the
party
or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects,
in
whole
or
in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support
Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation.
A representation
(other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f))
made
or

Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document
proves to have been incorrect
or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have
been made or
repeated;
(v) Default
under Specified Transaction.
The
party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any

of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified Transaction,
(2) defaults, after
giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making
any payment or delivery
due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
termination of,
a
Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Local
Business Days if there is
no
applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims,
repudiates or rejects,
in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any
person or entity appointed
or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf);
(vi) Cross
Default. If
“Cross
Default” is specified in the Schedule as applying to, the party, the
occurrence
or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar condition
or
event (however described)
in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
applicable Specified
Entity of such party under one or more agreements or instruments relating to
Specified Indebtedness
of any of them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not
less
than the
applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted
in
such Specified Indebtedness
becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared, due and payable
under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have been due
and payable or (2) a default by
such
party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually
or
collectively) in

less
than the applicable
Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect
to
any applicable
notice requirement or grace period);

Entity
of
such party:—

or
for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against
it a
proceeding seeking
a
judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy
or
insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition
is presented for its winding-up
or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted
or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment
of insolvency or bankruptcy

or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional
liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official
for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party
take
possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a
distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied,
enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such
secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed,
discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter;
(8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the
applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the

(7)
(inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its
consent to, approval of,
or
acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or
6
(viii) Merger
Without Assumption.
The
party
or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially
all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger or transfer.—
(1) the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations
of
such party or
such
Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document
to
which
it
or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement
reasonably
satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or
(2) the
benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent
of
the other
party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity
of
its obligations
under this Agreement.
(b) Termination
Events. The
occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit
Support
Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event
specified below constitutes an
Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event
is
specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event
Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to
be
applicable, a Credit Event
Upon
Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional
Termination Event if the event is
specified pursuant to (v) below:—
(i) Illegality.
Due
to
the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which
a
Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in,
the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent
jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other
than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b))
for
such
party (which will be the Affected Party):—
(1) to
perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery
or
to receive
a
payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other
material
provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
(2) to
perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any
contingent or
other
obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any
Credit Support
Document relating to such Transaction;
(ii) Tax
Event. Due
to
(x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction,
on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of
whether such action
is
taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change
in
Tax Law, the
party
(which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood
that it will, on the
next
succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party
an
additional amount
in
respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4)
(except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii)
or 6(e))
or
(2)
receive a payment from which an amount is required to be
deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest
under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii)
or 6(e))
and
no
additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under
Section
2(d)(i)(4)
(other
than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A)
or
(B));
(iii) Tax
Event Upon Merger.
The
party
(the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment
Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of
an
Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except
in respect of interest under Section 2(e),
6(d)(ii)
or 6(e))
or
(2)
receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or
on
account of any
Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay
an
additional amount (other
than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A)
or
(B)),
in
either
case as a result of a party consolidating
or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or
substantially all its
assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action
does not constitute an
event
described in Section 5(a)(viii);
7
(iv) Credit
Event Upon Merger.
If
“Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to
the
party, such party (“X”),
any
Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X
consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially
all its assets to,
another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section
5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness
of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than
that
of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may
be,
immediately prior to such action (and,
in
such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the
Affected Party);
or
(v) Additional
Termination Event. If
any
“Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule
or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such
event, the Affected
Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination
Event in the
Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) Event
of
Default and Illegality.
If
an
event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event
of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality
and will not constitute
an Event of Default.
6. Early
Termination
(a) Right
to Terminate Following Event of
Default.
If at
any
time an Event of
Default
with respect to a
party
(the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other
party (the
“Non-defaulting Party”)
may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the
relevant Event of Default, designate
a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination
Date in respect of all
outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination”
is specified in the Schedule as applying
to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions will occur immediately
upon the occurrence with respect to such party
of
an Event of Default specified in Section
5(a)(vii)(1),
(3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time
immediately preceding
the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of
the
relevant petition upon the occurrence
with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section
5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous
thereto, (8).
(b) Right
to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice.
If
a
Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming
aware
of
it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event
and
each Affected Transaction and
will
also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other
party
may reasonably require.
(ii) Transfer
to Avoid Termination Event.
If
either
an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only
one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon
Merger occurs and the Burdened
Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition
to its right to designate an
Early
Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv),
use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such
party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to
transfer within 20 days after it
gives
notice under Section 6(b)(i)
all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the
Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so
that
such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If
the
Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the
other party to that effect
within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer
within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
Any
such
transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to
and
conditional upon the prior
written consent of the other party, which consent will not
be
withheld if such other party’s policies
in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the
transferee on the terms proposed.
8
(iii)
Two Affected Parties.
If
an
Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or
a Tax
Event occurs and there are
two
Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach
agreement
within 30 days after
notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i)
on
action
to avoid that Termination Event.
(iv) Right
to Terminate.
If:—
(1) a
transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii),
as
the
case may be,
has
not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days
after
an Affected
Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i);
or
(2) an
Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2),
a
Credit
Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination
Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not
the
Affected Party,
either
party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case
of a
Tax Event Upon Merger, any
Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event
if
there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected
Party in
the
case of a Credit Event Upon
Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one
Affected Party may, by not more
than
20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant
Termination Event is then continuing,
designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early
Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) Effect
of Designation.
(i) If
notice
designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the
Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not
the
relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon
the
occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further
payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the
Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice
to
the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect
of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section
6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement.
On or
as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early
Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any,
contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement
(1)
showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant
quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving
details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be
paid.
In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained
in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such
quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such
quotation.
(ii) Payment
Date.
An
amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under
Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is
effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or
occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local
Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective
(in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of
a
Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent
permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after
judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early
Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the
Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily
compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Payments
on Early Termination.
If an
Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on
the
parties' election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market
Quotation” or “Loss”, and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the
“Second Method”. If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment
method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second
Method”, as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect
of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be
subject to any Set-off.
9
(i) Events
of Default.
If the
Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:—
(1) First
Method and Market Quotation.
If the
First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the
Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the
Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid
Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) First
Method and Loss.
If the
First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting
Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of
this
Agreement.
(3) Second
Method and Market Quotation.
If the
Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to
(A)
the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated
Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts
owing
to
the
Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid
Amounts owing
to
the Defaulting Party. If
that
amount is a
positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party;
if it is a negative number,
the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the
Defaulting Party.
(4) Second
Method and Loss.
If
the
Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal
to
the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is
a positive
number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it
is a
negative number,
the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the
Defaulting Party.
(ii) Termination
Events. If the
Early
Termination Date results from a Termination Event:—
(1)
One
Affected Party. If
there
is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in
accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market
Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4),
if Loss
applies,
except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the
Non-defaulting Party
will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is
not
the Affected
Party, respectively, and, if Loss
applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated,
Loss shall be calculated in respect of all
Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two
Affected Parties. If there
are
two Affected Parties:—
(A) if Market
Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect
of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I)
the
sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the
party
with the
higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and
the
Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”)
and
(b)
the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the
Unpaid
Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid
Amounts
owing to Y; and
(B) if Loss
applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or,
if
fewer
than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated
Transactions)
and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the
Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”)
and
the
Loss of the party with the lower Loss
(“Y”).
10
If
the
amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative
number, X will
pay
the absolute value of that amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment
for Bankruptcy. In
circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because
“Automatic Early Termination” applies in respect of a party, the amount
determined under this
Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and
permitted by law to reflect
any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement
(and retained by
such
other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to
the
date for payment
determined under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre-Estimate. The
parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under
this
Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount
is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future
risks and except as otherwise provided in
this
Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages
as a
consequence of such losses.
7. Transfer
Subject
to Section 6(b)(ii),
neither
this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement
may
be
transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without
the prior written consent of
the
other party, except that:—
(a) a
party
may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or
amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially
all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice
to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a
party
may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount
payable to it from a
Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any
purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.
8. Contractual
Currency
(a) Payment
in the Contractual Currency.
Each
payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant
currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual
Currency”). To the extent permitted
by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in
the
Contractual Currency
will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than
the
Contractual Currency,
except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party
to
which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in
converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency,
of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect
of this Agreement. If
for
any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of
the
amount in the Contractual
Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the
payment will, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount
in
the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall.
If
for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the
amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the
party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such
excess.
(b) Judgments.
To the
extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a
currency
other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any
amount owing in respect of
this
Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination
in respect of this Agreement
or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment
of
any amount described in
(i) or
(ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate
amount to which such party
is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums
paid
in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess
of
the Contractual Currency
received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency
if
such shortfall or such
excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at
which the Contractual Currency
is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of
such
judgment or order and
the
rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner
and
in good faith in converting
the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual
Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
The term “rate of exchange”
includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in
connection with the purchase
of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.
11
(c) Separate
Indemnities. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate
and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will
be enforceable as separate
and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence
granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected
by
judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made
for
any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.
(d) Evidence
of
Loss. For
the
purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate
that
it
would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been
made.
9. Miscellaneous
(a) Entire
Agreement. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
with
respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior
writings with respect thereto.
(b) Amendments.
No amendment,
modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective
unless
in
writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed
by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic
messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) Survival
of Obligations. Without
prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii),
the
obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination
of
any Transaction.
(d) Remedies
Cumulative.
Except
as
provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided
in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers,
remedies and
privileges provided by law.
(e) Counterparts
and Confirmations.
(i) This
Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may
be
executed
and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of
which will be deemed an original.
(ii) The
parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction
from
the moment they
agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be
entered into as soon
as
practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission)
or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages
on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for
all
purposes to evidence a
binding
supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through
another effective means
that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a
Confirmation.
(f) No
Waiver of
Rights.
A failure
or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this
Agreement
will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise
of
any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent
or
further exercise, of that right, power or privilege
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
12
(g) Headings. The
headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are
not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in
interpreting this Agreement.
10. Offices;
Multibranch Parties
(a) If
Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters
into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place
of
booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party,
the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the
Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will
be
deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is
entered into.
(b) Neither
party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or
deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent
of
the other party.
(c) If
a
party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch
Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through
any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and
receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified
in the relevant Confirmation.
11. Expenses
A
Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such
other party by reason
of
the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to
which
the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any
Transaction, including, but
not
limited to, costs of collection.
12. Notices
(a) Effectiveness.
Any
notice or other communication in respect of this Agreement may be given in
any
manner
set forth below (except that a notice or other communication under Section
5 or
6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system)
to
the address or number or in accordance with the
electronic messaging system details provided (see the Schedule)
and will be deemed effective as indicated:—
(i) if
in
writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is delivered;
(ii) if
sent
by telex, on the date the recipient’s answerback is received;
(iii) if

of the recipient in legible form (it being agreed that the burden of proving
receipt will be on
the
sender and will not be met by a transmission report generated by
the
sender’s facsimile machine);
(iv) if
sent
by certified or registered mail (airmail, if
overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested),
on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; or
(v) if
sent
by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message
is received,
unless
the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as
applicable, is not a Local Business Day
or
that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable,
after
the
close of business on
a
Local Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given
and
effective on the first following
day that is a Local Business Day.
(b) Change
of
Addresses.
Either
party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile
number
or
electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications
are
to be
given to it.

13. Governing
Law and Jurisdiction
(a) Governing
Law.
This
Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law
specified

(b) Jurisdiction. With
respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement (“Proceedings”),

English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the
State
of
New York and the United
States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in
New
York City, if this Agreement
is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York; and
(ii) waives
any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of
any
Proceedings brought
in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have
been
brought in an inconvenient
forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to
such
Proceedings, that such
court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.
Nothing
in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other
jurisdiction (outside,
if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, the
Contracting States, as defined in
Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Xxx 0000 or any
modification, extension or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force)
nor
will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions
preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
(c) Service
of Process.
Each
party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite
its
name
in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in
any
Proceedings. If for any reason any party’s Process Agent is unable to act as
such, such party will promptly notify the other party and
within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party.
The parties irrevocably consent
to service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.
Nothing in this Agreement
will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.
(d) Waiver
of Immunities. Each
party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law,
with
respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or
intended use), all immunity on
the
grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction
of any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance
or for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether
before or after judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment
to
which it or its revenues
or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any
jurisdiction and irrevocably
agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any
such immunity in any Proceedings.

“Loss”
means,
with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the
case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount
that
party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs
(or
gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this
Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions,
as
the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the
election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a
result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge
or
related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes
losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required
to
have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
on
or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to
avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies.
Loss
does not include a party’s legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to
under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early
Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest
date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not)
determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from
one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets.
“Market
Quotation”
means,
with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the
determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference
Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be
paid
to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed
as a
positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking
into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the
obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter
into
a transaction (the “Replacement Transaction”) that would have the effect of
preserving for such party the economic equivalent 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 Transaction 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
Terminated 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. The
Replacement Transaction
would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference
Market-maker may, in good
faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request
each Reference Market-maker
to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same
day
and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably
practicable after the relevant Early Termination
Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will
be
selected in good faith
by
the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and,
if
each party is so obliged, after consultation
with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation
will be the arithmetic
mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest
and
lowest values. If exactly
three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation
remaining after disregarding
the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation
has the same highest
value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If
fewer than three quotations are
provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such
Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.
“Non-default
Rate”
means
a
rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost)
to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if it were to fund the relevant
amount.
“Non-defaulting
Party”
has the
meaning specified in Section 6(a).
16
“Office”
means a
branch or office of a party, which may be such party’s head or home
office.
“Potential

Person, office, branch or affiliate, a "Transferee"); provided
that,
with respect to clause (ii), (A) as of the date of such transfer the Transferee
will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of a Tax from any payments
under this Agreement unless the Transferee will be required to make payments
of
additional amounts pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of this Agreement in respect
of such Tax (B) a Termination Event or Event of Default does not occur under
this Agreement as a result of such transfer; (C) such notice is accompanied
by a
written instrument pursuant to which the Transferee acquires and assumes the
rights and obligations of Party A so transferred; and (D) Party A will be
responsible for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with such transfer.
Party B will execute such documentation as is reasonably deemed necessary by
Party A for the effectuation of any such transfer.
Except
as
specified otherwise in the documentation evidencing a transfer, a transfer
of
all the obligations of Party A made in compliance with this Section 7 will
constitute an acceptance and assumption of such obligations (and any related
interests so transferred) by the Transferee, a novation of the transferee in
place of Party A with respect to such obligations (and any related interests
so
transferred), and a release and discharge by Party B of Party A from, and an
agreement by Party B not to make any claim for payment, liability, or otherwise
against Party A with respect to, such obligations from and after the effective
date of the transfer.
In
addition, Party A may transfer this Agreement without the prior consent of
the
Trustee, on behalf of Party B, to an affiliate that satisfies the Counterparty
Rating Requirement or that has furnished a guarantee of the obligations under
this Agreement from a guarantor that that satisfies the Counterparty Rating
Requirement.
(h) Notice
of Certain Events or Circumstances.
Each
party agrees, upon learning of the occurrence or existence of any event or
condition that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice or passage of
time
or both would constitute) an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect
to such party, promptly to give the other party notice of such event or
condition (or, in lieu of giving notice of such event or condition in the case
of an event or condition that with the giving of notice or passage of time
or
both would constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect
to
the party, to cause such event or condition to cease to exist before becoming
an
Event of Default or Termination Event); provided
that
failure to provide notice of such event or condition pursuant to this Part
5(h)
shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Termination Event.

(k) Trust
Administrator Capacity.
It is
expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) this Agreement
is
executed and delivered by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., not in its individual
capacity, but solely as Trust Administrator, on behalf of the TBW
Mortgage-Backed Trust Series 2006-4,
in the
exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon and vested in it thereunder,
(ii) each of the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and
agreements herein made on the part of Party B has not been made or intended

Agreement or any other related document, as to all of which recourse shall

had solely to the assets of the Trust in accordance with the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(l) Compliance
with Regulation AB.
(i) Party
A
acknowledges that for so long as there are reporting obligations with respect
to
this Transaction under Regulation AB, the Depositor, acting on behalf of the
TBW
Mortgage-Backed Trust Series 2006-4 (the “Issuing Entity”), is required under
Regulation AB under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,
as amended (“Regulation AB”), to disclose certain information set forth in
Regulation AB regarding Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if
applicable, depending on the aggregate “significance percentage” of this
Agreement and any other derivative contracts between Party A or its group of
affiliated entities, if applicable, and Party B, as calculated from time to
time
in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii) If
the
Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, that the significance
percentage of this Agreement has increased to nine (9) percent or more, then
the
Depositor may request on a Business Day on or after the date of such
determination from Party A the same information set forth in Item 1115(b)(1)
of
Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance percentage
had
in fact increased to ten (10) percent, along with any necessary auditors’
consent (such request, a “10% Cap Disclosure Request” and such requested
information, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, is the “10% Cap
Financial Disclosure”). Party B or the Depositor shall provide Party A with the
calculations and any other information reasonably requested by Party A with
respect to the Depositor’s determination that led to the 10% Cap Disclosure
Request. The parties hereto further agree that the 10% Cap Financial Disclosure
provided to meet the 10% Cap Disclosure Request may be, solely at Party A’s
option, either the information set forth in Item 1115(b)(1) or Item 1115(b)(2)
of Regulation AB.
29
(iii) So
long
as there are reporting obligations with respect to this Transaction under
Regulation AB, upon the occurrence of a 10% Cap Disclosure Request, Party A,
at
its own expense, shall (i) provide the Depositor with the 10% Cap Financial
Disclosure, (ii) secure another entity to replace Party A as party to this
Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement which entity is
able
to (A) provide the 10% Cap Financial Disclosure and (B) provide an indemnity
to
the Depositor, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, in relation to the
10%
Cap Financial Disclosure or (iii) obtain a guaranty of Party A’s obligations
under this Agreement from an affiliate of Party A that is able to (A) provide
the 10% Cap Financial Disclosure, such that disclosure provided in respect
of
the affiliate will, in the judgment of counsel to the Depositor, satisfy any
disclosure requirements applicable to Party A, and cause such affiliate to
provide 10% Cap Financial Disclosure and (B) provide an indemnity to the
Depositor, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, in relation to the 10%
Cap
Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required 10% Cap
Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from reports
filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act.
(iv) If
the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, that the significance
percentage of this Agreement has increased to nineteen (19) percent or more,
then the Depositor may request on a Business Day on or after the date of such
determination from Party A the same information set forth in Item 1115(b)(2)
of
Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance percentage
had
in fact increased to twenty (20) percent, along with any necessary auditors
consent (such
request, a “20% Cap Disclosure Request” and such requested information is the
“20% Cap Financial Disclosure”). Party B or the Depositor shall provide Party A
with the calculations and any other information reasonably requested by Party
A
with respect to the Depositor’s determination that led to the 20% Cap Disclosure
Request.
(v) So
long
as there are reporting obligations with respect to this Transaction under
Regulation AB, upon the occurrence
of a 20%
Cap Disclosure Request, Party A, at its own expense, shall (i) provide the
Depositor with the 20% Cap Financial Disclosure, (ii) secure
another entity to replace Party A as party to this Agreement on terms
substantially similar to this Agreement which entity is able to (A) provide
the
20%
Cap
Financial Disclosure and (B) provide an indemnity to the Depositor, reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, in relation to the 20% Cap Financial Disclosure
or (iii) obtain a guaranty of Party A’s obligations under this Agreement from an
affiliate of Party A that is able to (A) provide the 20%
Cap
Financial Disclosure, such that disclosure
provided
in respect of the affiliate will, in the judgment of counsel to the Depositor,
satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to Party A, and cause such
affiliate to provide 20% Cap Financial Disclosure and (B) provide an indemnity
to the Depositor, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, in relation to
the
20% Cap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required 20%
Cap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from
reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act.
(m) Fully
Paid Transactions. Notwithstanding
the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement, if at any time and so long
as
Party B shall have satisfied in full all its payment and delivery obligations
under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement and the Credit Support Annex and shall
at
the time have no future payment or delivery obligations, whether absolute or
contingent, under such Section or the Credit Support Annex, then unless Party
A
is required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to Party B or
otherwise returns to Party B (upon demand of Party B, or otherwise) any portion
of any such payment or delivery: (i) the occurrence of an event described in
Section 5(a) of the Agreement with respect to Party B shall not constitute
an
Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default with respect to Party B as
the
Defaulting Party; and (ii) Party A shall be entitled to designate an Early
Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement only as a result of
the
occurrence of a Termination Event set forth in (i) either Section 5(b)(i) or
5(b)(ii) of the Agreement with respect to Party A as the Affected Party or
(ii)
Section 5(b)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to Party A as the Burdened
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 father 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
Amount” 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
(1)
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 Pledgor’s
Threshold; provided,
however, that
the
Credit Support Amount will
be
deemed to be zero whenever the
calculation of Credit Support Amount yields a number less than
zero.
Paragraph
4. Conditions Precedent, Transfer Timing, Calculations and
Substitutions
(a) Conditions
Precedent.
Each
Transfer obligation of the Pledgor under Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the
Secured
Party
under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii),
5
and
6(d) is subject to the conditions precedent that:
(i) no
Event
of Default, Potential Event of Default or Specified Condition has occurred

(ii) no

Condition with respect to the other party.
(b) Transfer

Subject
to Paragraphs 4(a) and 5 and unless otherwise specified, if
a
demand
for the Transfer
of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support is made by the Notification
Time,
then the relevant Transfer
will be made not later than the close of business on the next Local
Business
Day;
if a
demand is made after
the

later than the Notification Time
on
the Local Business Day
following the applicable Valuation Date (or in the case of Paragraph
6(d),
following

(d) Substitutions.
(i) Unless

Paragraph
5. Dispute Resolution
If
a
party (a “Disputing Party”) disputes
(I) the
Valuation Agent’s calculation of a Delivery Amount
or
a
Return
Amount
or
(II) the Value of any Transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit
Support, then (1) the Disputing
Party will notify the other party and the Valuation Agent (if the Valuation
Agent is not the other party) not
later
than the close of business on the Local Business Day following (X) the date
that
the demand is made under
Paragraph 3 in the case of (I) above or (Y) the date of Transfer in the case
of
(II) above, (2) subject to Paragraph

appropriate party will Transfer the undisputed amount to the other party not
later than the close
of
business on the Local Business Day following (X) the date that the demand is
made under Paragraph 3 in the case of (I) above or (Y) the date of Transfer
in
the case of (II) above, (3) the parties will consult with each other in an
attempt to resolve the dispute and (4) if they fail to resolve the dispute
by
the Resolution Time, then:
(i)
In
the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount, unless
otherwise specified in
Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Exposure and the Value
as
of the Recalculation Date
by:
(A)
utilizing any calculations of Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap
Transactions) that the parties have
agreed are not in dispute;
(B)
calculating the Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions) in dispute
by seeking four actual
quotations at mid-market from Reference Market makers for purposes of
calculating Market Quotation,
and taking the arithmetic average of those 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 original calculations will be
used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and
(C)
utilizing the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating the Value,
if
disputed, of Posted Credit
Support.
(ii)
In
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.
Following
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 the Notification Time on the
Local Business Day following the
Resolution Tine. The appropriate party will, upon demand following that notice
by the Valuation Agent or a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to
Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b),
make the appropriate Transfer.
Paragraph
6. Holding and Using Posted Collateral
(a) Care
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.
(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
party fails to comply with any restriction or prohibition specified in this
Annex with respect to any of the rights specified in Paragraph 6(c) and that
failure continues for five Local Business Days after notice of that failure
is
given to that party; or
(iii)
that party fails to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation other
than those specified in Paragraphs 7(i) and 7(ii) and that failure continues
for
30 days after notice of that failure is given to that party.
Paragraph
8.
Certain Rights and Remedies
(a) Secured
Party’s Rights and Remedies. If
at any
time (1) an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect
to the Pledgor has occurred and is continuing or (2) an Early Termination Date
has occurred or been designated
as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to
the
Pledgor, then, unless the
Pledgor has paid in full all of its Obligations that are then due, the Secured
Party may exercise one or more of
the
following rights and remedies:
(i)
all
rights and remedies available to a secured party under applicable law with
respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party;
(ii)
any
other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the terms of
Other Posted Support, if any;
(iii)
the
right to 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
(iv)
the
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 whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption
by
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.
