Definitions.
This Agreement, including each Confirmation and each Swap Transaction,
is
subject to the 2000 ISDA Definitions, as amended, supplemented, updated,
and superseded from time to time (the “Definitions”), as published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) and will be
governed in all respects by the Definitions (except that references
to
“Swap Transactions” shall be deemed to be references to “Transactions”).
The Definitions are incorporated by reference in, and made part of,
this
Agreement and each Confirmation as if set forth in full in this Agreement
and such Confirmations. In the event of any inconsistency between
the
provisions of this Agreement and the Definitions, this Agreement
will
prevail (and, in the event of any inconsistency between any Confirmation
and the Definitions, the Confirmation will control). Any reference
in a
Confirmation to any Definitions which are amended or supplemented
in this
Schedule shall be deemed to be a reference to such Definitions as
so
amended or supplemented, unless the Confirmation states, by specific
reference to any such amendment or supplement, that such amendment
or
supplement will not apply in respect of the Transaction to which
such
Confirmation relates.
|
|

downgrade to below “A1” (but only for so long as it is on watch for
possible downgrade) or (ii) the unsecured, short-term debt
obligations of Party A are rated below “P-1” by Moody’s or are rated
“P-1” by Moody’s and such rating is on watch for possible downgrade to

downgrade), (B) no short-term rating is available from Moody’s and the
unsecured, long-term senior debt obligations of Party A are rated

the Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement (as defined herein) and

shall be replaced as counterparty, provided
that such substitute counterparty, as of the date of such assumption
or
replacement, will not, as a result thereof, be required to withhold
or
deduct on account of tax under the Agreement or the new transactions,
as
applicable, and such assumption or replacement will not lead to a
termination event or event of default occurring under the Agreement
or new
transactions, as applicable.

sole expense, (i) obtain a substitute counterparty that (A) satisfies
the
Rating Agency Condition, (B) satisfies the Hedge Counterparty Ratings
Requirement (as defined below) and (C) assumes the obligations of
Party A under this Agreement (through an assignment and assumption
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Party B)
or replaces the outstanding Transactions hereunder with transactions
on
identical terms, except that Party A shall be replaced as
counterparty, provided
that such substitute counterparty, as of the date of such assumption
or
replacement, will not, as a result thereof, be required to withhold

collateral, which agreement shall satisfy the Rating Agency Condition and

Transfer.
Section
7 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
|
Except
as
stated under Section 6(b)(ii), in this Section 7, and Part 5(b) of the Schedule,
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 this Agreement or any Transaction without the
prior written consent of the other party; provided,
however,
that
(i) Party A may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of
substantially all of its assets to, another entity, or an incorporation,
reincorporation or reconstitution, and (ii) Party A may transfer this Agreement
to any Person, including, without limitation, another of Party A’s offices,
branches or affiliates (any such Person, office, branch or affiliate, a
“Transferee”) on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to Party B
and the Trustee; 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such transfer or
assignment (including a transfer or assignment made pursuant to Section
6(b)(ii)) shall be made unless the transferring party obtains a written
acknowledgment from each of the Rating Agencies that, notwithstanding such
transfer or assignment, the then-current ratings of the Offered Certificates
and
the Class B Certificates will not be reduced or withdrawn.
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) (including an acceptance and assumption of the
Disclosure Agreements by the transferor) 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.
