|
“Market

Page 6 of

binding on or before the day falling ten Local Business Days after

on which the Early Termination Date is designated, or such later
day as
Party B may specify in writing to Party A, but in either case no
later
than the Early Termination Date (such day, the “Latest
Settlement Amount Determination Day”), the Termination Currency Equivalent
of the amount (whether positive or negative) of such Market
Quotation;
|
|
(b)
|
If,
on the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day, no Market Quotation
for
the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions
has been accepted by Party B so as to become legally binding and
one or
more Market Quotations from Approved Replacements have been made
and
remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, the Settlement
Amount shall equal the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount
(whether positive or negative) of the lowest of such Market Quotations
(for the avoidance of doubt, the lowest of such Market Quotations
shall be
the lowest Market Quotation of such Market Quotations expressed as
a
positive number or, if any of such Market Quotations is expressed
as a
negative number, the Market Quotation expressed as a negative number
with
the largest absolute value); or
|
|
(c)
|
If,
on the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day, no Market Quotation
for
the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions
is
accepted by Party B so as to become legally binding and no Market
Quotation from an Approved Replacement remains capable of becoming
legally
binding upon acceptance, the Settlement Amount shall equal Party
B’s Loss
(whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid
Amounts)
for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions.
|
|
(C)
|
If
Party B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations,
Party A
shall use its reasonable efforts to do so before the Latest Settlement
Amount Determination Day.
|
|
(D)
|
If
the Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3) shall
be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
|
“(3)
Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market
Quotation apply, (I) Party B shall pay to Party A an amount equal to the
absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated
Transactions, (II) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (III) Party A shall pay
to
Party B the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to
Party
B; provided, however, that (x) the amounts payable under the immediately
preceding clauses (II) and (III) shall be subject to netting in accordance
with
Section 2(c) of this Agreement and (y) notwithstanding any other provision
of
this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under the immediately preceding
clause (III) shall not be netted-off against any amount payable by Party B
under
the immediately preceding clause (I).”
|
(E)
|
At
any time on or before the Latest Settlement Amount Determination
Day at
which two or more Market Quotations from Approved Replacements remain
capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, Party B shall
be
entitled to accept only the lowest of such Market Quotations (for
the
avoidance of doubt, the lowest of such Market Quotations shall be
the
lowest Market Quotation of such Market Quotations expressed as a
positive
number or, if any of such Market Quotations is expressed as a negative
number, the Market Quotation expressed as a negative number with
the
largest absolute value).

|
Section
7 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
|
“Except
with respect to any Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii), Part 5(d),
the Item 1115 Agreement, or the succeeding sentence neither Party A nor Party
B
is permitted to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or
otherwise) as a whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests
under the Agreement or any Transaction unless (a) the prior written consent
of
the other party is obtained, and (b) the Rating Agency Condition has been
satisfied with respect to S&P. At any time at which no Relevant
Entity has credit ratings at least equal to the Approved Ratings Threshold,
Party A may make a Permitted Transfer.”
|
(ii)
|
If
an Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer (which remains an offer
that
will become legally binding upon acceptance by Party B) to be
the transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Party B shall, at
Party
A’s written request and at Party A’s expense, take any reasonable steps
required to be taken by Party B to effect such
transfer.
|
(g)
|
Limited-Recourse. Party
A acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provision in
this
Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder are
limited recourse obligations of Party B, payable solely from the
Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds thereof and that Party
A will
not have any recourse to any of the directors, officers, agents,
employees, shareholders or affiliates of the Party B with respect
to any
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations
in
connection with any transactions contemplated hereby;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if Party B fails
to pay
any amount, which would but for the provisions of this Part 5(g),
have
been due, such an event will constitute an Event of Default pursuant
to
Section 5(a)(i) (Failure to Pay or Deliver). In the event that
the Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds thereof should be
insufficient to satisfy all claims outstanding and following the
realization of the account held by the Supplemental Interest Trust
and the
proceeds thereof, any claims against or obligations of Party B under
the
ISDA Master Agreement or any other confirmation thereunder still
outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter not
revive. The Supplemental Interest Trustee shall not have
liability for any failure or delay in making a payment hereunder
to Party
A due to any failure or delay in receiving amounts in the account
held by
the Supplemental Interest Trust from the Trust created pursuant to
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This provision will survive
the termination of this Agreement.
|
(h)
|
Rating
Agency Notifications. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date shall be
effectively designated hereunder by Party B and no transfer of any
rights
or obligations under this Agreement shall be made by either party
unless
each Swap Rating Agency has been given prior written notice of such
designation or transfer.
|
(i)
|
No
Set-off. Except as expressly provided for in Section
2(c), Section 6 or Part 1(f)(i)(D) hereof, and notwithstanding any
other
provision of this Agreement or any other existing or future agreement,
each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to set
off,
net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment
or
performance of any obligation between it and the other party hereunder
against any obligation between it and the other party under any other
agreements. Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the
following sentence: “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.”.
|
(j)
|
Amendment. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amendment of
either
this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement shall be permitted
by either party unless each of the Swap Rating Agencies has been
provided
prior written notice of the same and such amendment satisfies the
Rating
Agency Condition with respect to
S&P.

|
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 and to each
Swap
Rating Agency notice of such event or condition; provided that failure
to
provide notice of such event or condition pursuant to this Part 5(k)
shall
not constitute an Event of Default or a Termination
Event.
|
(l)
|
Proceedings. No
Relevant Entity shall institute against, or cause any other person
to
institute against, or join any other person in instituting against
Party
B, the Supplemental Interest Trust, or the trust formed pursuant
to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings
under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for a period
of one
year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) and one day
following payment in full of the Certificates and any Notes; provided,
however, that this shall not restrict or prohibit Party A from
joining in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other analogous proceedings
previously commenced under applicable laws. This provision will
survive the termination of this
Agreement.

Supplemental
Interest Trustee Liability Limitations. It is
expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this
Agreement is executed by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”)
not in its individual capacity, but solely as Supplemental Interest
Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the exercise
of the
powers and authority conferred and invested in it thereunder; (b)
DBNTC
has been directed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to enter
into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (c)
each of
the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on behalf

representations of the DBNTC but is made and intended for the purpose
of
binding only the Supplemental Interest Trust; (d) except as expressly
required by the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nothing
herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on
DBNTC,
individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed
or
implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly
waived by the parties who are signatories to this Agreement and by
any
person claiming by, through or under such parties, and (e) under

Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or

application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to
be
invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) in any respect, the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall
continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed
with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as
this
Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change,
the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of
this
Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will
not
substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of the
parties; provided, however, that this severability provision shall
not be
applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any definition
or provision in Section 14 to the extent it relates to, or is used
in or
in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be invalid
or
unenforceable.
|
The
parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to replace any
invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition with a valid
or
enforceable term, provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect of
which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable term,
provision, covenant or condition.
(o)
|
Escrow
Payments. If (whether by reason of the time difference
between the cities in which payments are to be made or otherwise)
it is
not possible for simultaneous payments to be made on any date on
which
both parties are required to make payments hereunder, either Party
may at
its option and in its sole discretion notify the other Party that
payments
on that date are to be made in escrow. In this case deposit of
the payment due earlier on that date shall be made by 2:00 pm (local
time
at the place for the earlier payment) on that date with an escrow
agent
selected by the notifying party, accompanied by irrevocable payment
instructions (i) to release the deposited payment to the intended
recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the required deposit
of any
corresponding payment payable by the other party on the same date
accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to the same effect
or (ii)
if the required deposit of the corresponding payment is not made
on that
same date, to return the payment deposited to the party that paid
it into
escrow. The party that elects to have payments made in escrow
shall pay all costs of the escrow
