                                                          As  specified  in  the
                                                          endorsement   attached
                                                          hereto.

Ambac  Assurance  Corporation  (Ambac) A Wisconsin  Stock  Insurance  Company in
consideration  of the  payment of the  premium  and subject to the terms of this
Policy, hereby agrees  unconditionally and irrevocably to pay to the Trustee for
the  benefit of the  Holders of the  Insured  Obligations,  that  portion of the
Insured Amounts which shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid by reason
of Nonpayment.

Ambac will make such  payments to the Trustee from its own funds on the later of
(a) one (1) Business Day  following  notification  to Ambac of Nonpayment or (b)
the Business Day on which the Insured Amounts are Due for Payment. Such payments
of principal or interest shall be made only upon  presentation  of an instrument
of assignment in form and substance satisfactory to Ambac, transferring to Ambac
all rights  under such  Insured  Obligations  to receive  the  principal  of and
interest  on the  Insured  Obligation.  Ambac  shall  be  subrogated  to all the
Holders'  rights to  payment  on the  Insured  Obligations  to the extent of the
insurance  disbursements so made. Once payments of the Insured Amounts have been
made to the Trustee, Ambac shall have no further obligation hereunder in respect
of such Insured Amounts.

In the event the Trustee for the Insured Obligations has notice that any payment
of  principal  or  interest  on an Insured  Obligation  which has become Due for
Payment  and which is made to a Holder by or on behalf of the  Trustee  has been
deemed a  preferential  transfer  and  theretofore  recovered  from  its  Holder
pursuant  to the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Code in  accordance  with a final,
nonappealable  order of a court of competent  jurisdiction,  such Holder will be
entitled  to payment  from Ambac to the extent of such  recovery  if  sufficient
funds are not otherwise available.

This  Policy is  noncancelable  by Ambac for any  reason,  including  failure to
receive payment of any premium due hereunder.  The premium on this Policy is not
refundable  for any  reason.  This Policy  does not insure  against  loss of any
prepayment  or other  acceleration  payment  which at any time may become due in
respect of any Insured  Obligation,  other than at the sole option of Ambac, nor
against any risk other than Nonpayment, including failure of the Trustee to make
any payment due Holders of Insured Amounts.

To the fullest  extent  permitted by  applicable  law,  Ambac hereby  waives and
agrees not to assert any and all rights and defenses,  to the extent such rights
and  defenses may be available  to Ambac,  to avoid  payment of its  obligations
under this Policy in accordance with the express provisions hereof.

Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms
in the endorsement attached hereto or in the Agreement.

In  witness  whereof,  Ambac  has  caused  this  Policy to be  affixed  with its
corporate seal and to be signed by its duly authorized  officers in facsimile to
become  effective as their original  signatures and binding upon Ambac by virtue
of the countersignature of its duly authorized representative.
