(b) If there exists a Deficiency Amount which is an Insured Amount with respect to a Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Policy and submit such claim for such Insured Amount to the Series Enhancer in accordance with the terms of the Policy. Any payment made by the Series Enhancer under the Policy shall be applied solely to the payment of principal or interest (other than Default Fees) on the Series 2006-1 Notes subject to the terms of the Policy.

The Issuer hereby agrees for the benefit of the Series Enhancer (and each Series 2006-1 Noteholder, by acceptance of its Series 2006-1 Notes, will be deemed to have agreed) that, without limiting any other rights of the Series Enhancer, to the extent the Series Enhancer pays, or causes to be paid, Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by paying through distribution to the Indenture Trustee), to the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, the Series Enhancer will be entitled to receive the related Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 302 hereof in lieu of the Noteholders and will be subrogated to their payment rights thereunder.

Supplement. All amounts received under the Policy shall be used solely for the payment when due to the Series 2006-1 Noteholders of the Insured Amount.
(e) If a Corporate Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee at any time has actual knowledge that a Deficiency Amount will exist on the applicable Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall immediately notify the Series Enhancer and each Interest Rate Hedge Provider of the amount of such deficiency.
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to the principal of or interest on the Series 2006-1 Notes which is made with monies received pursuant to the terms of the Policy shall not be considered payment by the Issuer of the Series 2006-1 Notes, shall not discharge the Issuer in respect of its obligation to make such payment, and shall not result in the payment of, or the provision for the payment of, the principal of or interest on, the Series 2006-1 Notes for purposes of Section 203 hereof or of the Indenture. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge that, without the need for any further action on the part of the Series Enhancer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, (i) to the extent the Series Enhancer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of, or interest on, the Series 2006-1 Notes to the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, the Series Enhancer will be fully subrogated to the rights of such Series 2006-1 Noteholders to receive such principal and interest from the Issuer, and (ii) the Series Enhancer shall be paid such principal and interest in its capacity as partial subrogee of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein for the payment of such principal and interest.

The Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Series Enhancer, at its written request, the requested records it holds in its possession evidencing the payments of principal of
and interest on the Series 2006-1 Notes, if any, which have been made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, and the dates on which such payments were made.
Without limiting any rights of the Series Enhancer under the Policy or any other Series 2006-1 Transaction Document, and without modifying or otherwise affecting any terms or conditions of the Policy, each Series 2006-1 Noteholder, by its purchase of the Series 2006-1 Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that, the Series Enhancer (so long as no Series Enhancer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any Proceeding relating to a Preference Amount direct all matters relating to such Preference Amount, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any Preference Amount and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersede as, or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, the Series Enhancer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and each such Series 2006-1 Noteholder, in the conduct of any such Preference Amount, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any order issued in connection with any such Preference Amount. Insured Payments paid by the Series Enhancer to the Indenture Trustee shall be received by the Indenture Trustee, as agent to the Series 2006-1 Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, as agent to the Series 2006-1 Noteholders, hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders to any monies paid or payable in respect of the Series 2006-1 Notes shall be fully subrogated to the Series Enhancer to the extent of any payment made by the Series Enhancer pursuant to the terms of the Policy, and any interest due thereon.
(j) By acceptance of a Series 2006-1 Note, each Series 2006-1 Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Policy, including, without limitation, the method and timing of payment and the Series Enhancer’s right of subrogation.
(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that payments on the Series 2006-1 Notes are accelerated, such accelerated payments will not be covered by the Series Enhancer under the Policy, unless the Series Enhancer shall elect to make such accelerated payments in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Policy.
(l) The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of the Series 2006-1 Noteholders the obligations of the Series Enhancer under the Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplement or any Series 2006-1 Transaction Document, the Series 2006-1 Noteholders are not entitled to make any claims under the Policy or institute Proceedings directly against the Series Enhancer.
