1. On or prior to the Determination Date preceding each
Payment Date, the Servicer shall notify the Purchaser and the Seller of the
Yield Supplement Amount for such Payment Date.

prior to the relevant Payment Date.
4. Our agreements set forth in this Yield Supplement
Agreement are our primary obligations and such obligations are irrevocable,
absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim,
setoff or defense and shall remain in full force and effect without regard

circumstances or condition whatsoever.
5. Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Purchaser will sell, transfer, assign and convey its interest in this Yield

hereby acknowledges and consents to such pledge. The Seller hereby agrees,
for the benefit of the Trust, that following such sale, transfer,
assignment, conveyance and pledge, this Yield Supplement Agreement shall
not be amended, modified or terminated without the consent of Wilmington
