short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced
to
“P-2” or below by Moody’s and its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt is
reduced to “A3” or below (or, if it has no short-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt rating, its long term rating is reduced to “A2” or below) by
Moody’s, or
(y) its
long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced
below
“BBB-” by S&P.
For
purposes of (C) and (D) above, such events include those occurring in connection
with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by BNY or any
applicable credit support provider, but they shall be deemed not to occur if,
within thirty (30) days (or, in the case of a Ratings Event, ten (10) Business
Days) thereafter, each of the applicable Rating Agencies has reconfirmed the
ratings of the Certificates, as applicable, which were in effect immediately
prior thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on the
Certificates could occur in the event that BNY does not post sufficient
collateral.
(ii) Actions
to be Taken Upon Occurrence of Event.
Subject, in each case set forth in (A) and (B) below, to satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Condition:
(A) Collateralization
Event.
If a
Collateralization Event occurs with respect to BNY (or any applicable credit
support provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense, within thirty (30) days
of such Collateralization Ratings Event:
(1) post
collateral under agreements and other instruments approved by the Counterparty,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, which will be sufficient to
restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates,
(2) assign
the Transaction to a third party, the ratings of the debt of which (or of the
guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings, on terms
substantially similar to this Confirmation, which party is approved by the
Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
(3) obtain
a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of, another person, the ratings of
the
debt of which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying
Ratings, to honor BNY’s obligations under this Agreement, provided
that
such
other person is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, or
(4) establish
any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, which will be sufficient to restore the immediately
prior
ratings of their Certificates.
(B) Ratings
Event.
If a
Ratings Event occurs with respect to BNY (or any applicable credit support
provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense, within ten (10) Business Days
of
such Ratings Event:
(1) assign
the Transaction to a third party, the ratings of the debt of which (or of the
guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings, on terms
substantially similar to this Confirmation, which party is approved by the
Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
(2) obtain
a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of, another person, the ratings of
the
debt of which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying
Ratings, to honor BNY’s obligations under this Agreement, provided
that
such
other person is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, or
(3) establish
any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, which will be sufficient to restore the immediately
prior
ratings of the Certificates.

Compliance
with Regulation AB.
|
(a)
|
It
shall be a swap disclosure event (“Swap
Disclosure Event”)
if, at any time after the date hereof, the Trustee (acting on behalf
of
the Depositor or the Sponsor) notifies BNY that the aggregate
“significance percentage” (calculated in accordance with the provisions of
Item 1115 of Regulation AB) of all derivative instruments provided
by BNY
and any of its affiliates to Counterparty (collectively, the “Aggregate
Significance Percentage”)
is 10% or more.
|
(b)
|
Upon
the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, BNY, at its own cost and
expense (and without any expense or liability to the Depositor, the
Sponsor, the Underwriters, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Issuing
Entity), shall take one of the following actions: (i) provide to
the
Sponsor and the Depositor: (x) if the Aggregate Significance Percentage
is
10% or more, but less than 20%, the information required under Item
1115(b)(1) of Regulation AB or (y) if the Aggregate Significance
Percentage is 20% or more, within five (5) Business Days, the information
required under Item 1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB; or (ii) assign its
rights
and delegate its obligations under the Transaction to a counterparty
with
the Approved Ratings Thresholds (or which satisfies the Rating Agency
Condition), that (x) provides the information specified in clause
(i)
above to the Depositor and Sponsor and (y) enters into documentation
substantially similar to the documentation then in place between
BNY and
the Counterparty.
|
(c)
|
For
so long as the Aggregate Significance Percentage is 10% or more,
BNY shall
provide any updates to the information provided pursuant to clause
(b)
above to the Sponsor and the Depositor within five (5) Business Days
following availability thereof (but in no event more than 45 days
after
the end of each of BNY’s fiscal quarter for any quarterly update, and in
no even more than 90 days after the end of each of BNY’s fiscal year for
any annual update).
|
(d)
|
All
information provided pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) shall be in
a form
suitable for conversion to the format required for filing by the
Depositor
with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval
System
(XXXXX). In addition, any such information, if audited, shall be
accompanied by any necessary auditor’s consents or, if such information is
unaudited, shall be accompanied by an appropriate agreed-upon procedures
letter from BNY’s accountants. If permitted by Regulation AB, any such
information may be provided by reference to or incorporation by reference
from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange
Act.

11)

Agreement, if the Counterparty has satisfied its payment obligations
under
Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, and shall, at
the time,
have no future payment or delivery obligation, whether absolute or
contingent, then unless BNY is required pursuant to appropriate
proceedings to return to the Counterparty or otherwise returns to
the
Counterparty upon demand of the Counterparty any portion of such
payment,
(a) the occurrence of an event described in Section 5(a) of the ISDA
Form
Master Agreement with respect to the Counterparty shall not constitute
an
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the
Counterparty as the Defaulting Party and (b) BNY shall be entitled
to
designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the
ISDA Form
Master Agreement only as a result of a Termination Event set forth

Agreement with respect to BNY as the Affected Party or Section 5(b)(iii)
of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to BNY as the Burdened
