The

You and we have agreed to enter into this Agreement in lieu of negotiating

(i) The
definitions of “Market Quotation” and “Settlement Amount” are amended in their

“Market
Quotation”
means,
with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions, an offer capable when
made
of becoming legally binding upon acceptance made by a Qualified Transferee
for
an amount that would be paid to Counterparty (expressed as a negative number)
or
by Counterparty (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an
agreement between Counterparty and such Qualified Transferee to enter into
a
transaction with commercial terms substantially the same as those of this
Agreement (save for the exclusion of provisions relating to Transactions that
are not Terminated Transactions) (which shall be determined by Counterparty,
acting in a commercially reasonable manner), that would have the effect of
preserving the economic equivalent for Counterparty 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 Transactions or group of
Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant
Early
Termination Date, have been required after that date (such transaction, a
“Replacement
Transaction”).
For
this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group
of 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.
Page 5

Transactions
that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date,
have
been required after that date (such transaction, a “Replacement
Transaction”).
For
this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or
group
of 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.
“Settlement
Amount”
means,
with respect to any Early Termination Date, an amount (as determined by
Counterparty) equal to the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount
(whether positive or negative) of any Market Quotation for the relevant
Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that is accepted
by
Counterparty so as to become legally binding, Provided that:
(1) If,
on
the day falling ten Local Business Days after the day on which the Early
Termination Date is designated or such later day as Counterparty may specify
in
writing to BNY (but in either case no later than the Early Termination Date)
(such day the “Latest
Settlement Amount Determination Day”),
no
Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions has been accepted by Counterparty so as to become legally binding
and one or more Market Quotations 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; and
(2) If,
on
the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day, no Market Quotation for the
relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions is accepted
by Counterparty so as to become legally binding and no Market Quotations have
been made and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, the
Settlement Amount shall equal Counterparty’s Loss (whether positive or negative
and without reference to any Un-paid amounts) for the relevant Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions.
(ii) At
any
time on or before the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day at which two
or
more Market Quotations remain capable of becoming legally binding upon
acceptance, Counterparty shall be entitled to accept only the lowest of such
Market Quotations.
(iii) if
Counterparty requests BNY in writing to obtain Market Quotations, BNY shall
use
its reasonable efforts to do so before the Latest Settlement Amount
De-termination Day.
(iv) If
the
Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3) shall be deleted
in
its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Second
Method and Market Quotation.
If
Second Method and Market Quotation apply, (1) Counterparty shall pay to BNY
an
amount equal to the absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of the
Terminated Transactions, (2) Counterparty shall pay to BNY the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to BNY and (3) BNY shall pay
to
Counterparty the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing
to
Counterparty, Provided that, (i) the amounts payable under (2) and (3) shall
be
subject to netting in accordance with Section 2(c) and (ii) notwithstanding
any
other provision of this Agreement, any amount payable by BNY under (3) shall
not
be netted-off against any amount payable by Counterparty under
(1).”
(f)
“Termination
Currency”
means
United States Dollars.
(g) “Additional
Termination Event”
will
apply.
The
following shall constitute Additional Termination Events, and the party
specified shall be the Affected Party with respect thereto:—
Page 6

(i) [Reserved].
(ii)
[Reserved].
(iii) [Reserved].
(iv) Collateralization
Event or Ratings Event. A
Collateralization Event or Ratings Event has occurred and is continuing with
respect to BNY (and the guarantor under each Qualified Guaranty (if any)) and
BNY fails to comply with the provisions of Part 5(i)(ii) within the time periods
set out therein; provided
that an
Additional Termination Event shall not be deemed to occur by virtue of a breach
of Part 5(i)(ii)(B) with respect to a Moody’s Ratings Event unless and until
such Moody’s Ratings Event has continued for 30 or more Business Days and at
least one Qualified Transferee has made an offer which remains capable of
becoming legally binding upon acceptance to enter into a Permitted Transfer
or
other Replacement Transaction. BNY shall be the sole Affected Party. In the
event that BNY has elected or is required to post collateral following the
occurrence of a Ratings Event with respect to BNY (and the guarantor under
each
Qualified Guaranty (if any)), then, a failure to post collateral in accordance
with the provisions of the Credit Support Annex shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 5(a)(iii) and shall not be treated as an Additional
Termination Event. Any breach of Part 5(i)(ii)(A), (B) or (C) which is treated
as an Additional Termination Event under this Part 1(g)(iv)shall not constitute
an Event of Default.
(v) Regulation
AB.
BNY
shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 3 of the Disclosure
Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2007 within the time provided for therein.
BNY shall be the sole Affected Party.

it
has given prior written notice thereof to each Rating Agency.

law,
that recordings may be submitted in evidence in any Proceedings.
(c) Severability.
If any
term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the application
thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid or
unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any reason, 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. 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.
(d) Set-off.
All
payments under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim,
except as provided in Section 2(c), Section 6 or the provisions hereof relating
to Market Quotation and Loss, or Paragraph 8 of the Credit Support Annex.
Section 6(e) is 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." For the avoidance of doubt, if more
than one Transaction is entered into under this Agreement, nothing herein is
intended to prevent the determination of a Settlement Amount with respect to
all
such Transactions pursuant to Section 6 (as modified hereby).
(e) Failure
to Pay or Deliver.
Section
5(a)(i) is hereby amended by replacing the word “third” by the word “second” in
the third line thereof.
(f) Non-Recourse.
Notwithstanding any provision herein or in this Agreement to the contrary,
the
obligations of the Trust hereunder are limited recourse obligations of the
Trust, payable solely from the Swap Account. In the event that the Swap Account
and proceeds thereof should be insufficient to satisfy all claims outstanding
and following the realization of the Swap Account and the distribution of the
proceeds thereof in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any
claims against or obligations of the Trust under this Agreement or any
confirmation hereunder still outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter
not revive. This provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
(g) Limitation
on Institution of Bankruptcy Proceedings.
BNY
shall not institute against or cause any other person to institute against,
or
join any other person in instituting against Counterparty, the Depositor or
the
Trust, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, under any of the laws of the United States or any other
jurisdiction, for a period of one year and one day (or, if longer, the
applicable preference period) following indefeasible payment in full of the
Certificates. This provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
(h) Transfer,
Amendment and Assignment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7 and Section 9(b), no assignment,
transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification of any Transaction
shall be permitted by either party unless (i) it is a Permitted Transfer or
the
Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect thereto, and (ii) each Rating
Agency has received prior written notice thereof. The consent of Counterparty
shall not be required for a Permitted Transfer and Counterparty shall take
all
steps reasonably requested by BNY (at the expense of BNY) to effect a Permitted
Transfer. A “Permitted
Transfer”
means
a
novation or assignment to or entry into another form of Replacement Transaction
pursuant to which a Qualifying Transferee acquires and assumes or enters into
a
Replacement Transaction by a written instrument in respect of all the
Transactions and the rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of BNY
hereunder without modification of the terms hereof (other than parties,
effective date of said transfer, and tax payee representations of BNY) and
with
respect to which (i) there is no adverse effect on netting or set-off rights
[and][;] (ii) each Rating Agency receives prior written notice
thereof.

This
Annex supplements, forms part of, and is subject to,
the
Master Agreement specified in the Confirmation(s) (BNY Ref. No. 38929 and
38930), dated even date herewith (the “Agreement”),
is
part of the Schedule deemed incorporated therein and is a Credit Support
Document under the Master Agreement with respect to Party A.
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.
1
Paragraph
2. Security Interest
Each
party, as the Pledgor, hereby pledges to the other party, as the Secured
Party,
as security for its Obligations, and grants to the Secured Party a first
priority continuing security interest in, lien on and right of Set-off against
all Posted Collateral Transferred to or received by the Secured Party hereunder.
Upon the Transfer by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of Posted Collateral,
the
security interest and lien granted hereunder on that Posted Collateral will
be
released immediately and, to the extent possible, without any further action
by
either party.
Paragraph
3. Credit Support Obligations
(a) Delivery
Amount.
Subject
to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Secured Party on or promptly
following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount for that Valuation Date
equals or exceeds the Pledgor’s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Pledgor will
Transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support having a Value as of
the
date of Transfer at least equal to the applicable Delivery Amount (rounded
pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the
“Delivery
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 (i) the
Secured Party’s Exposure for that Valuation Date plus (ii) the aggregate of all
Independent Amounts applicable to the Pledgor, if any, minus (iii) all
Independent Amounts applicable to the Secured Party, if any, minus (iv) the
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.

Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then fewer than four quotations may be
used

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

(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).
4
(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

other
rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the terms of Other
Posted Support, if any;

(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

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.
Each
party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of securities
may decline speedily in value and is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, and, accordingly, the Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice of
any
sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party, except any notice that
is
required under applicable law and cannot be waived.

Rights and Remedies.

Transactions (or Swap Transactions) where the Secured Party has paid in full
all
of its obligations that are then due under Section 6(e) of this
Agreement):
(i) the
Pledgor may exercise all rights and remedies available to a pledgor under
applicable law with respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured
Party;

Pledgor may exercise any other rights and remedies available to the Pledgor

(iv) to
the
extent that Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount is not so Transferred
pursuant to (iii) above, the Pledgor may:
(A) Set-off
any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations against
any
Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of any Posted Collateral held by
the
Secured Party (or any obligation of the Secured Party to Transfer that Posted
Collateral); and
(B) to
the
extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A) above, withhold payment
of any remaining amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations,
up to the Value of any remaining Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party,

(c) Deficiencies
and Excess Proceeds.
The
Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor any proceeds and Posted Credit
Support remaining after liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs
8(a) and 8(b) after satisfaction in full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor

for any amounts remaining unpaid after any liquidation, Set-off and/or
application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b).
(d) Final
Returns.
When no
amounts are or thereafter may become payable by the Pledgor with respect
