respect of Guaranteed Distributions, including any acceleration payment, whether
or not any notice and certificate shall have been Received by Financial Security
as provided  above,  provided,  however,  that by  acceptance of this Policy the

in its sole  discretion,  at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part,
at an earlier  Distribution  Date than provided in the definition of "Guaranteed

basis,  accruing  from after the date of such  payment of  principal.  Financial
Security's obligations hereunder in respect of Guaranteed Distributions shall be

receivership or similar law,  Financial Security will pay such amount out of the
funds of  Financial  Security  on the  later of (a) the date when due to be paid
pursuant  to the  Order  referred  to below or (b) the first to occur of (i) the
fourth Business Day following Receipt by Financial  Security from the Trustee of
(A) a certified copy of the order of the court or other  governmental body which
exercised  jurisdiction  to the  effect  that the Holder is  required  to return
principal or interest  distributed with respect to the  Certificates  during the
Term of this Policy  because such  distributions  were  avoidable as  preference
payments under applicable bankruptcy law (the "Order"), (B) a certificate of the
Holder that the Order has been entered and is not subject to any stay and (C) an
assignment  duly  executed  and  delivered  by the  Holder,  in such  form as is
reasonably  required  by  Financial  Security  and  provided  to the  Holder  by
Financial Security,  irrevocably  assigning to Financial Security all rights and
claims of the Holder relating to or arising under the  Certificates  against the
debtor  which made such  preference  payment or  otherwise  with respect to such
preference  payment or (ii) the date of Receipt by Financial  Security  from the
Trustee of the items  referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above if, at least
four Business Days prior to such date of Receipt,  Financial Security shall have
Received written notice from the Trustee that such items were to be delivered on
such date and such date was  specified  in such notice.  Such  payment  shall be
disbursed  to the  receiver,  conservator,  debtor-in-possession  or  trustee in
bankruptcy  named in the Order and not to the  Trustee  or any  Holder  directly
(unless a Holder has previously  paid such amount to the receiver,  conservator,
debtor-in-possession  or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order, in which case
such payment shall be disbursed to the Trustee for  distribution  to such Holder
upon proof of such payment reasonably  satisfactory to Financial  Security).  In
connection with the foregoing, Financial Security shall have the rights provided
pursuant to Sections 4.05 and 4.06 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     and on behalf of each Holder,  hereby delegates and assigns, to the fullest
     extent  permitted  by law, the rights of the Trustee and each Holder in the
