THE COLLATERAL AGENT




	 
       Section 4.01.      Appointment and Powers.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Issuer Secured Parties hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Collateral Agent with respect to the Spread Account Agreement Collateral, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as Collateral Agent with respect to the Spread Account Agreement Collateral, for the Issuer Secured Parties, to maintain custody and possession of such Spread Account Agreement Collateral (except as otherwise provided hereunder) and to perform the other duties of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Each Issuer Secured Party hereby
authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf, and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, as the Controlling Party may direct and as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions, rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Collateral Agent shall act (and shall be completely protected in so acting) upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party delivered pursuant to this Agreement promptly following receipt of such written instructions; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not act in accordance with any instructions (i) which are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this
Agreement, (ii) which are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) for which the Collateral Agent has not received reasonable indemnity.  Receipt of such instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its express duties hereunder, except where this Agreement provides that the Collateral Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance with such instructions.




	 
       Section 4.02.      Performance of Duties.  The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party or as directed by the Controlling Party in accordance with this Agreement.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder except at the written direction and with indemnification satisfactory to it from the Controlling Party.




	 
       Section 4.03.      Limitation on Liability.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith, except that the Collateral Agent shall be liable for its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of this Agreement or any of the Spread Account Agreement Collateral (or any part thereof).  Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer or the Issuer Secured
Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent in connection with the Spread Account Agreement Collateral, except for the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, and, further, shall incur no liability to the Issuer Secured Parties except for negligence or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties to the Issuer Secured Parties.  Subject to Section 4.04, the Collateral Agent shall be completely protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory,
and (absent actual knowledge to the contrary) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto.  The Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Basic Documents.  The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel selected by it with due care, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written advice of such counsel.  The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the remedial rights or
powers vested in it by this Agreement or to follow any direction from the Controlling Party unless it shall have received reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it.

       Section 4.04.      Reliance upon Documents.  In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall have no liability in acting, or omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in reasonable reliance upon any statement or opinion contained in any such document or instrument.




	 
       Section 4.05.      Successor Collateral Agent.




	 	 	
     (a)     Any Person into which the Collateral Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust business and assets as a whole, or substantially as a whole, or any Person resulting from any such conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer to which the Collateral Agent is a party, shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Collateral Agent hereunder and is acceptable to the Insurer) be and become a successor Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all of the title to and interest in the Spread Account Agreement Collateral and all of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was
its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any, that any such action is necessary to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the security interest of the Issuer Secured Parties in the Spread Account Agreement Collateral.




	 	 	
     (b)     The Collateral Agent and any successor Collateral Agent may resign only (i) upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would result in a material adverse effect on the Collateral Agent as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Insurer, and the Controlling Party does not elect to waive the Collateral Agent's obligation to perform those duties which render it legally unable to act or elect to delegate those duties to another Person, or (ii) with the prior written consent of the Controlling Party.  The Collateral Agent shall
give not less than 60 days' prior written notice of any such permitted resignation by registered or certified mail to the other Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer; provided, that such resignation shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of (A) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent acceptable to the Insurer (provided that an Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing) and the acceptance in writing by such successor Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, (B) delivery of the Collateral to such successor to be held in accordance with the procedures specified in Article Two, and (C) receipt by the Controlling Party of an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 5.05.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if by the contemplated date of resignation specified in the written notice of resignation delivered as described above no successor Collateral Agent or temporary successor Collateral Agent has been appointed Collateral Agent or becomes the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.05(d), the resigning Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York for the appointment of a successor acceptable to the Insurer (provided that an Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and Collateral Agent are the same party and the Trustee or the Trust
Collateral Agent resigns under the Indenture, the Collateral Agent may resign in accordance with the procedures for resignation of the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent under the Indenture.

     (c)     The Collateral Agent may be removed by the Controlling Party at any time, with or without cause, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent, the other Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer.  A temporary successor may be removed at any time to allow a successor Collateral Agent to be appointed pursuant to Section 4.05(d).  Any removal pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (c) shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of (i) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent acceptable to the Insurer (provided that an Insurer Default has not occurred and is continuing) and the acceptance in writing by such
successor Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii) delivery of the Spread Account Agreement Collateral to such successor to be held in accordance with the procedures specified in Article Two and (iii) receipt by the Controlling Party of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 5.05.




	 	 	
     (d)     The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to appoint each successor Collateral Agent.  Every temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to each Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Spread Account Agreement Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent to be held in accordance with the procedures specified in Article Two, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor.  Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of either Issuer Secured Party or the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder.  In the event that any instrument in writing from the Issuer or a Issuer Secured Party is reasonably required by a successor Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral
Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer.  The designation of any successor Collateral Agent and the instrument or instruments removing any Collateral Agent and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained with the records relating to the Spread Account Agreement Collateral and, to the extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the transfer of the Spread Account Agreement Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent or to protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder.

removal of the Collateral Agent or the Servicer.

       Section 4.09.      Waiver of Setoffs.

       Section 6.03.      Rights of Issuer Secured Parties.  With respect to the Notes and the related Spread Account Agreement Collateral, the Non-Controlling Party at any time expressly agrees that it shall not assert any rights that it may otherwise have, as an Issuer Secured Party with respect to the Spread Account Agreement Collateral, to direct the maintenance, sale or other disposition of the Spread Account Agreement Collateral or any portion thereof, notwithstanding the occurrence and continuance of any Default or any non-performance by the Issuer of any obligation owed to such Issuer Secured Party hereunder or under any other Basic Document, and each party hereto agrees that the Collateral
Agent, at the direction of the Controlling Party shall be the only Person entitled to assert and exercise such rights.




	 
       Section 6.04.      Degree of Care.




	 	 	
     (a)     Controlling Party.  Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer for any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent in connection with the Spread Account Agreement Collateral, except for any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent and, further, shall incur no liability to the Non-Controlling Party except for the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent in carrying out its duties, if any, to the Non-Controlling Party.  The Collateral Agent shall be completely protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the accuracy,
acting in reliance upon the contents and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent manifest error or actual knowledge to the contrary) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto.  The Collateral Agent shall, at all times, be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction the existence or nonexistence, as the case may be, of any fact the existence or nonexistence of which shall be a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.




	 	 	
     (b)     The Non-Controlling Party.  The Non-Controlling Party shall not be liable to the Issuer for any action or failure to act by the Controlling Party or the Collateral Agent in exercising, or failing to exercise, any rights or remedies hereunder.

ARTICLE VII     

REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT




	 
       Section 7.01.      Remedies upon a Default.  If a Default has occurred, the Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction of the Controlling Party, take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable in the judgment of the Controlling Party to collect and satisfy all Issuer Secured Obligations, including, but not limited to, foreclosure upon the Spread Account Agreement Collateral and all other rights available to secured parties under applicable law or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant under any of the Basic Documents.




	 
       Section 7.02.      Waiver of Default.  The Controlling Party shall have the sole right, to be exercised in its complete discretion, to waive any Default by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of such waiver signed by the Controlling Party and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the other Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer.  Any such waiver shall be binding upon the Non-Controlling Party and the Collateral Agent.  Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such
waiver.




	 
       Section 7.03.      Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Collateral Agent has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and each of the Issuer Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer Secured Parties shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.




	 
       Section 7.04.      No Remedy Exclusive.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent, the Controlling Party or either of the Issuer Secured Parties is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise (but, in each case, shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement limiting such remedies), and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such
order as may be deemed expedient by the Controlling Party, and the exercise of or the beginning of the exercise of any right or power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.

MISCELLANEOUS




	 
       Section 8.01.      Further Assurances.  Each party hereto shall take such action and deliver such instruments to any other party hereto, in addition to the actions and instruments specifically provided for herein, as may be reasonably requested or required to effectuate the purpose or provisions of this Agreement or to confirm or perfect any transaction described or contemplated herein.




	 
       Section 8.02.      Waiver.  Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and stop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given.  The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any
such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.




	 
       Section 8.03.      Amendments; Waivers.  No amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall have been made or consented to in writing by each of the parties hereto and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Insurer shall be the Controlling Party, any amendments, modifications, waivers or supplements hereto, or to the Spread Account Agreement Collateral or Spread Account or to any requirement hereunder to deposit or retain any amounts in such Spread Account or to distribute any amounts therein as
provided in Section 3.03 shall be effective if made or consented to in writing by the Insurer, the Issuer and the Collateral Agent (the consent of which shall not be withheld or delayed with respect to any amendment that does not adversely affect the Collateral Agent) but shall in no circumstances require the consent of the Trustee or the Noteholders.




	 
       Section 8.04.      Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Agreement shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.  The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Collateral Agent, or any of the Issuer Secured Parties, hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Collateral Agent or any of the Issuer Secured Parties to pursue any other remedy available to it or them (subject, however, to the provisions of this Agreement limiting such remedies).

Each party hereto may, by notice given in accordance herewith to each of the other parties hereto, designate any further or different address to which subsequent notices shall be sent.

	
       Section 8.07.      Term of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall take effect on the Closing Date and shall continue in effect until the Distribution Date occurring immediately following the Final Termination Date.  On the Distribution Date occurring immediately following the Final Termination Date and after giving effect to any withdrawals pursuant to Section 3.03, this Agreement shall terminate, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease and terminate and the Spread Account Agreement Collateral, if any, held hereunder and not to be used or applied in discharge of any obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Issuer Secured Obligations or otherwise under this Agreement, shall be
released to and in favor of the Issuer; provided that the provisions of Sections 4.06, 4.07 and 8.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the release of any Spread Account Agreement Collateral upon such termination.




	
       Section 8.08.      Assignments; Third-Party Rights; Reinsurance.




		 	
     (a)     This Agreement shall be a continuing obligation of the parties hereto and shall (i) be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns, and (ii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Issuer Secured Party and the Collateral Agent, and by their respective successors, transferees and assigns.  The Issuer may not assign this Agreement, or delegate any of its duties hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Controlling Party.




		 	
     (b)     The Insurer shall have the right to give participations in its rights under this Agreement and to enter into contracts of reinsurance with respect to the Note Policy issued in connection with the Notes, upon such terms and conditions as the Insurer in its discretion determines, and each such participant or reinsurer shall be entitled to the benefit of any representation, warranty, covenant and obligation of each party (other than the Insurer) hereunder as if such participant or reinsurer was a party hereto and, subject only to such agreement regarding such reinsurance or participation, shall have the right to enforce the obligations of each such other party directly hereunder; provided, however, that
no such reinsurance or participation agreement or arrangement shall relieve the Insurer of its obligations hereunder, under the Basic Documents to which it is a party or under the Note Policy.  In addition, nothing contained herein shall restrict the Insurer from assigning to any Person pursuant to any liquidity facility or credit facility any rights of the Insurer under this Agreement or with respect to any real or personal property or other interests pledged to the Insurer, or in which the Insurer has a security interest, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereby waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or the
subject matter hereof or thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.  The Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and designates JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as its true and lawful attorney and duly authorized agent for acceptance of service of legal process relating hereto.

OTHER BASIC DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, BY AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS WAIVER.
