For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included.

(ii)

the Counterparty and, if request is made in writing within two Local Business Days after the day on which the Early Termination Date is designated, BNY, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain one or more Market Quotations before the date determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Settlement Amount”.

(iii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(e)(i)(3) or Part 5(g), if the Settlement Amount is a negative number, the Unpaid Amounts of BNY and the Counterparty shall be subject to netting in accordance with Section 2(c).

(f)

“Termination Currency” means United States Dollars.

(g)

“Additional Termination Event” will apply.  The following shall constitute Additional Termination Events, and the party specified shall be the Affected Party with respect thereto:—

Termination of Trust Fund.  The Trust, Supplemental Interest Trust or Trust Fund shall be terminated pursuant to any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, by exercise of the option to purchase and giving of notice under Sections 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).  The Early Termination Date with respect to such Additional Termination Event shall be the Distribution Date upon which the Trust and the Supplemental Interest Trust or Trust Fund is terminated and final payment is made in respect of the Certificates.  Each of BNY and the Counterparty may designate an Early Termination Date in respect of this Additional Termination Event.  The Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party.

(ii)

Collateralization or Ratings Event.  A Collateralization Event or Ratings Event (as defined in Paragraph 4(8)(a) has occurred and is continuing and BNY fails to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 4(8)(b) within the time periods set out therein, and, with respect to a Ratings Event, at least one substitute counterparty has made an offer which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance to be the Transferee of an assignment, transfer or replacement in accordance with Paragraph 4(8)(b)(2)(A)).  BNY shall be the sole Affected Party.

(iii)

Regulation AB.  BNY shall fail to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 4(9) within the time provided for therein.  BNY shall be the sole Affected Party.

(ii)

(A)

(iii)

Events of Default.  Paragraph 7 shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following paragraph:

“For the purposes of Section 5(a)(i) of this Agreement, an Event of Default will exist with respect to a party if that party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any Transfer of Eligible Credit Support, Posted Credit Support or the Interest Amount, as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure continues for two Local Business Day after the notice of that failure is given to that party; provided, that, with respect to a failure to Transfer Eligible Credit Support, at least (x) 30 Local Business Days have elapsed after a Ratings Event has occurred, and (y) 10 Business Days have elapsed after an S&P Ratings Event,  and such failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to Party A”.

(iv)

Return of Fungible Securities.  In lieu of returning to the Pledgor pursuant to Paragraphs 3(b), 4(d), 5 and 8(d) any Posted Collateral comprising securities the Secured Party may return Equivalent Collateral.

(v)

No Counterclaim.  A party's rights to demand and receive the Transfer of Eligible Collateral as provided hereunder and its rights as Secured Party against the Posted Collateral or otherwise shall be absolute and subject to no counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense in favor of the Pledgor except as contemplated in Sections 2 and 6 of the Agreement and Paragraph 8 of this Annex.

(vi)

Holding Collateral. The Secured Party shall cause any Custodian appointed hereunder to open and maintain a segregated account (the “Swap Collateral Account”) and to hold, record and identify all the Posted Collateral therein and, subject to Paragraphs 6(c) and 8(a), such Posted Collateral shall at all times be and remain the property of the Pledgor and shall at no time constitute the property of, or be commingled with the property of, the Secured Party or the Custodian.

(vii)

Investment of Cash Posted Collateral.  Cash Posted Collateral shall be invested in Permitted Investments as directed by Party A, with gains and losses incurred in respect of such investments to be for the account of Party A, subject to the following parameters: the Cash Posted Collateral shall be invested in such overnight (or redeemable within two Local Business Days of demand) investments rated at least A-1+ by S&P and Prime -1 by Moody’s or AAAm or AAAmG by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s as directed by Party A (provided, that such investment shall be held uninvested or invested at the direction of Party B if an Event of Default or an Additional Termination Event has occurred with respect to which Party A is the defaulting or sole Affected Party and Party B has designated an Early Termination Date with respect thereto). Such instructions may be delivered as standing instructions.

(viii)

Return of Posted Collateral.  If a Collateralization Event occurs and thereafter ceases to be continuing (and provided that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists with respect to Party A) or Party A has made a Permitted Transfer under this Agreement, then Party A’s obligations to transfer Eligible Collateral under this Annex will immediately cease with respect to that Collateralization Event, and Party B will, upon demand by Party A, return to Party A, or cause its Custodian to return, all Posted Collateral held under this Annex. The Secured Party is authorized to liquidate any Posted Collateral pursuant to written instructions from Party A.

(ix)

External Verification of Mark-to-Market Valuations.  If the long term senior unsecured debt of Party A is rated BBB or lower by S&P, once every month after an S&P Ratings Event occurs and during its continuance, Party A will at its own expense verify its determination of Exposure of the Transaction on the next Valuation Date by seeking quotations from two (2) Reference Market-makers (provided, that a Reference Market-maker may not be used more than four times within each 12 month period) for their determination of Exposure of the Transaction on such Valuation Date and the Valuation Agent will use the greater of either (a) its own determination or (b) the high quotation for a Reference Market-maker, if applicable for the next Valuation Date.  Party A shall provide the quotations of such Reference Market-makers to S&P.

(x)

Expenses.  Notwithstanding Paragraph 10, the Pledgor will be responsible for, and will reimburse the Secured Party for, all transfer and other taxes and other costs involved in the transfer of Eligible Collateral.

(xi)

Limit on Secured Party’s Liability.  The Secured Party will not be liable for any losses or damages that the Pledgor may suffer as a result of any failure by the Secured Party to perform, or any delay by it in performing, any of its obligations under this Annex if the failure or delay results from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Secured Party or its Custodian, such as interruption or loss of computer or communication services, labor disturbance, natural disaster or local or national emergency.
