    1.  Introduction.  Charming
      Shoppes Receivables Corp. (“CSRC” or the “Seller”), a
      special-purpose Delaware corporation whose principal place of business is in
      Ohio and which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Charming Shoppes, Inc.
      (“Charming”), proposes to sell to Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Initial

      Certificates (the “Class A Certificates”), which shall be issued in two
      subclasses designated as the Class A-1 Certificates (the “Class A-1

      and the Class A-2 Certificates (the “Class A-2 Certificates”) in an

      (the “Class M-1 Certificates”) in an initial aggregate outstanding amount
      of $4,000,000 and the Class M-2 Certificates (the “Class M-2
      Certificates”) in an initial aggregate outstanding amount of $15,200,000,
      and (c) $30,400,000 Series 2007-1 Class B Asset Backed Certificates (the

      the Class B-2 Certificates (the “Class B-2 Certificates”) in an
      initial aggregate outstanding amount of $13,500,000 and, together with the
      Class
      A Certificates and the Class M Certificates, the “Offered
      Certificates”).  The Offered Certificates are to be issued
      pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
      dated as of November 25, 1997 (as amended as of July 22, 1999, May 8, 2001,
      August 5, 2004, March 18, 2005 and October 17, 2007, and as further amended
      from
      time to time, the “Pooling Agreement”) among the Seller, Spirit of
      America, Inc. (“SOAI”), a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned
      indirect subsidiary of Charming, as servicer (in such capacity, the
“Servicer”), and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to Wachovia
      Bank, National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
      by the Series 2007-1 Supplement to the Pooling Agreement dated as of the
      Issuance Date (as defined below) (the “Series Supplement”, and the
      Pooling Agreement, as so supplemented, the “Supplemented Pooling
      Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
      defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Supplemented
      Pooling Agreement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Each
      Offered Certificate will represent an undivided ownership interest in the
      Charming Shoppes Master Trust (the “Trust”).  In addition,
      concurrently with the issuance of the Offered Certificates, the Trust will
      issue
      $28,800,000 Series 2007-1 Class C Asset Backed Certificates (the “Class C
      Certificates”) and $30,400,000 Series 2007-1 Class D Asset Backed
      Certificates (the “Class D Certificates”), which will be issued in two
      subclasses designated as the “Class D-1 Certificates” and the “Class D-2
      Certificates”.  The Offered Certificates, the Class C Certificates
      and the Class D Certificates are referred to herein as the
“Certificates”.  The Class C Certificates will be sold pursuant
      to the Class C Certificate Purchase Agreement (the “Class C Purchase
      Agreement”) among the Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer and the purchasers
      named therein (the “Class C Purchasers”).  The Class D
      Certificates will be sold pursuant to one or more Class D Certificate Purchase
      Agreements (collectively, the “Class D Purchase Agreements”) among
      the Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer and the purchasers named therein (the
      “Class D Purchasers”).  The assets of the Trust include, among
      other things, receivables (the “Receivables”) arising under a pool of
      certain revolving credit card accounts owned by Spirit of America National
      Bank
      (“Spirit of America”) which have been conveyed to the Seller by Spirit of
      America pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of November 25,
      1997 and as amended as of September 1, 1999, November 9, 2000 and
      May 8, 2001 (the “Purchase Agreement”) and conveyed to the Trust
      pursuant to the Pooling Agreement.

     

    The
      Seller, at its own expense, has prepared an offering memorandum dated October
      10, 2007 (together with any exhibits attached thereto, the “Preliminary
      Memorandum”), describing among other things, the Offered Certificates and
      the Supplemented Pooling Agreement.  Copies of the Preliminary
      Memorandum have been delivered to you.  The Seller, at its own
      expense, shall also prepare a final offering memorandum (together with any
      exhibits attached thereto, the “Final Memorandum”), which it will deliver
      to you no later than three business days prior to the Issuance Date (as herein
      defined).  The Seller hereby confirms that it has authorized the
      Initial Purchaser to use the Preliminary Memorandum and Final Memorandum in
      connection with the offering and resale of the Offered
      Certificates  by the Initial Purchaser. The Seller will advise the
      Initial Purchaser promptly of (i) any proposal to amend or supplement the Final
      Memorandum or the Preliminary Memorandum, (ii) any amendment or supplement
      to
      the Final Memorandum or the Preliminary Memorandum, and (iii) the receipt by
      the
      Seller of any notification with respect to the suspension of qualification
      of
      the Offered Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
      threatening of any proceeding for such purposes.  The Seller will
      furnish to the Initial Purchaser copies of all amendments and supplements to
      the
      Final Memorandum and the Preliminary Memorandum, in each case as soon as
      available and in such quantities as the Initial Purchaser reasonably
      requests.  From and after the date any amendment or supplement to the
      Final Memorandum or the Preliminary Memorandum, as applicable, has been
      furnished to the Initial Purchaser, the term “Final Memorandum” or
“Preliminary Memorandum” shall mean the Final Memorandum or the
      Preliminary Memorandum, as applicable, as so amended or
      supplemented.  The Pooling Agreement, the Series Supplement and the
      Purchase Agreement shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Related
      Documents”.

     

    The
      Offered Certificates may be resold solely to (i) “qualified institutional buyers
      (“QIBs”) in reliance upon Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii)
      non-U.S. persons outside the United States, as defined in Regulation S of the
      Securities Act (“Regulation S”), in a transaction meeting the
      requirements of Regulation S.

      that:

     

    (i)  The
      Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, as of their respective dates
      and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of their respective dates,
      and in each case as of the Applicable Time and the Issuance Date (as defined
      herein), do not and will not, as of such dates and at such times, contain any
      untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
      to
      be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
      the
      circumstances under which they were made, not misleading except that the
      representations and warranties in this clause (i) do not relate to any
      statements or omissions made in reliance on and in conformity with the Initial
      Purchaser Information (as defined in Section 7(b)).

     

    (ii)  As
      of the
      Issuance Date (as defined herein), the representations and warranties of the
      Seller in the Pooling Agreement will be true and correct in all material
      respects except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly
      relate to a date other than the Issuance Date (as defined herein).

     

    (iii)  The
      Seller is duly organized and is validly existing as a Delaware corporation
      in
      good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority

      and is duly qualified (or is exempt from such requirement) as a foreign
      corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the
      laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or
      conducts any business, so as to require such qualification, other than where
      the
      failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a material adverse
      effect on the Seller and its Affiliates taken as a whole or on the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents.

     

    (iv)  The
      Certificates have been duly authorized for issuance and sale, and, when issued
      and delivered pursuant to the Supplemented Pooling Agreement, executed by the
      Seller and duly authenticated by the Trustee and paid for by the Initial
      Purchaser or the respective initial purchasers of the Class C Certificates

      Pooling Agreement; each of this Agreement and the Related Documents to which
      the
      Seller is a party has been duly authorized by the Seller, and, when executed
      and
      delivered by CSRC and the other parties thereto, each of this Agreement and
      the
      Related Documents to which the Seller is a party will constitute a valid,
      binding and enforceable agreement of the Seller; provided that with
      respect to all such documents such enforceability may be limited by applicable
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now
      or
      hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general
      and such enforceability may be limited by

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    general
      principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity) and
      subject to the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions
      indemnifying a party against liability where such indemnification is contrary
      to
      public policy; and the Offered Certificates and the Related Documents will
      conform to the descriptions thereof in the Final Memorandum in all material
      respects.

     

    (v)  No
      consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any court,
      governmental agency or body is required to be obtained or made by the Seller
      in
      connection with (i) the issuance and sale of the Certificates or (ii) the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related
      Documents, except such as have been obtained or made and remain, and will
      continue to remain, in full force and effect, such as may be required under
      state securities laws and the filing of any financing statements required to
      perfect the Trust’s and the Seller’s interest in the Receivables.

     

    (vi)  The
      Seller is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or
      in
      default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant
      or condition contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party
      or
      by which it or its properties is bound which would have a material adverse
      effect on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in the Supplemented
      Pooling Agreement and the Related Documents.  This Agreement has been

      and sale of the Certificates, the compliance with the terms and provisions
      hereof and thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
      and therein will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and
      provisions of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation
      or by-laws of the Seller or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms
      and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation
      or
      imposition of any Lien under, any statute, any rule, regulation or order of
      any
      governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having
      jurisdiction over it or any of its properties, or any agreement or instrument

      Agreement.

     

    (vii)  Other
      than as set forth or contemplated in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final

      Affiliates is or may be a party or to which any property of the Seller or its
      Affiliates is or may be the subject (x) which, if determined adversely to
      the Seller, could individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to
      have a material adverse effect on the general affairs, business, prospects,
      management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of
      the Seller and its Affiliates, taken as a whole, or that would reasonably be
      expected to materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the
      Offered Certificates, (y) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any of
      the
      Related Documents or the Offered Certificates or (z) seeking to prevent the

        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Offered
      Certificates or of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
      any
      of the Related Documents.

     

    (viii)  Any
      taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection with the execution,
      delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement, the Offered
      Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates or the other
      Related Documents shall have been paid or will be paid by or on behalf of the
      Seller at or prior to the Issuance Date (as defined herein) to the extent then
      due.

     

    (ix)  No
      Early
      Amortization Event, and no event that would become an Early Amortization Event
      after any applicable grace period has elapsed, exists with respect to any
      outstanding Series of Certificates issued by the Trust and no event has occurred
      that would constitute (after the issuance of the Certificates) an Early
      Amortization Event or would become an Early Amortization Event after any
      applicable grace period has elapsed.

     

    (x)  Except
      as
      set forth in or contemplated in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final
      Memorandum, there has been no material adverse change in the condition

    (xi)  Assuming
      that (i) the Offered Certificates are offered and sold in the manner
      contemplated in this Agreement and in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final
      Memorandum, (ii) the Initial Purchaser complies with the agreements and
      covenants contained in this Agreement, (iii) the representations
      made in this Agreement by the Initial Purchaser are true and correct and (iv)
      the representations and warranties made or deemed to be made by the purchasers

      required to be registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act in connection
      with the offer, issuance, sale and delivery thereof as contemplated by the
      Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum and this Agreement and neither
      the Seller nor any agent acting on its behalf (other than the Initial
      Purchaser), has taken or will take any action which would subject the offer,
      issuance, sale or delivery of the Offered Certificates to the provisions of
      Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration provisions of any state
      securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

     

    (xii)  Neither
      the Seller nor any of its Affiliates has directly or through any agent (it
      being

      Purchaser) engaged in any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902(c)
      under Regulation S) with respect to the Offered Certificates.  The
      Seller and its affiliates and any agent acting on their behalf (it being
      understood that the Seller makes no representation or warranty in this regard
      with respect to the Initial Purchaser or any affiliates of the Initial
      Purchaser) have complied with the “offering restrictions” (as defined in Rule
      902(g) under Regulation S) with respect to Offered Certificates sold outside
      the
      United States.  Neither the Seller, any of its Affiliates or any
      person or entity acting on its behalf (it being understood that the Seller
      makes
      no representation or warranty in this regard with respect to the Initial
      Purchaser or any affiliates of the Initial Purchaser) has entered into
      any

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    contractual
      arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Offered Certificates, except
      for this Agreement and the Related Documents.

     

    (xiii)  None
      of
      the Seller, any of its Affiliates or any person or entity acting on its or
      their
      behalf (it being understood that the Seller makes no representation or warranty
      in this regard with respect to the Initial Purchaser or any Affiliates of the
      Initial Purchaser) within the six months preceding the date of this Agreement,
      (A) has offered or sold any securities which are substantially similar to the
      Offered Certificates the result of which would cause the offer and sale of
      any
      of the Offered Certificates pursuant to this Agreement to fail to be entitled
      to
      exemption from registration under the Securities Act or (B) has offered or
      will
      offer to sell the Offered Certificates in the United States by means of any
      form
      of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
      Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.

     

    (xiv)  Neither
      the Seller nor the Trust is required (or after giving effect to the transactions
      contemplated by the Related Documents, will be required) to be registered as
      an
“investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
      1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

      business as currently conducted, and is duly qualified (or is exempt from such
      requirement) as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is
      in
      good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or
      leases properties, or conducts any business, so as to require such
      qualification, other than where the failure to be so qualified or in good
      standing would not have a material adverse effect on FSC and its Affiliates
      taken as a whole or on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
      the
      Related Documents.

     

    (iii)  Spirit

      a
      material adverse effect on Spirit of America and its Affiliates taken as a

      Documents.

     

    (iv)  This
      Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by FSC, and, when
      executed and delivered by the other parties hereto will constitute a valid,
      binding and enforceable agreement of FSC; provided that such
      enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

      Purchaser represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Seller, the Servicer
      and FSC as of the date hereof, and as of the Issuance Date, that:

     

    (a)  It
      understands that the Offered Certificates have not been and will not be
      registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption therefrom,
      or
      registered or qualified under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state in
      the United States.  It has advised Seller that it proposes to offer
      the Offered Certificates for resale upon the terms and conditions set forth

      the Offered Certificates, including any advertisement, article, notice or other
      communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or
      broadcast over television or radio, or conduct any seminar or meeting with

      a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, purchasing the Offered
      Certificates.  It has such knowledge and experience in financial and
      business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
      investment in the Offered Certificates.

     

    (d)  It
      will
      offer or sell the Offered Certificates only to (i) persons whom it reasonably
      believes to be QIBs, purchasing the Offered Certificates for their own account
      or for the account of other investors who are QIBs in transactions meeting
      the
      requirements of Rule 144A and (ii) non-U.S. persons (as defined in
      Regulation S) in offshore transactions (as defined in Regulation S) made in
      compliance with Regulation S.  It agrees that it will not offer, sell
      or deliver any of the Offered Certificates in any jurisdiction outside the
      United States (as defined in Regulation S) except under circumstances which
      will
      result in compliance with the applicable laws thereof, and that it will take
      whatever action is required to permit its offer and resale of the Offered
      Certificates in such jurisdictions.

     

    (e)  It
      will
      take reasonable steps to inform, and cause each of its affiliates to take
      reasonable steps to inform, persons acquiring Offered Certificates from it
      or
      its affiliates, as the case may be, in the United States that the Offered
      Certificates (i) have not been and will not be registered under the Securities
      Act, (ii) are being sold to them without registration under the Securities
      Act
      in reliance on Rule 144A or Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S, and (iii) may
      not
      be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except (A) in

     

    
      
         

      

      
        14

      transactions to non-U.S. Persons in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of
      Regulation S in a principal amount of not less than $100,000, or (B) to a person
      whom the seller reasonably believes is a QIB that is purchasing such Offered
      Certificates for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice
      is
      given that the offer, sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A,
      in a principal amount of not less than $100,000, for the purchaser and each
      such
      account, in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.

     

    (f)  The
      transfer restrictions and the other
      provisions set forth in the Final Memorandum under the headings “Transfer
      Restrictions” and “Plan of Distribution,” including the legend
      required thereby, shall apply to the Offered Certificates.

     

    (g)  None
      of
      it, its affiliates or any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage
      in any directed selling efforts (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities
      Act) with respect to the Offered Certificates, and it, its affiliates and any
      person acting on its behalf have complied and will comply with the offering
      restriction requirements of Regulation S.  It agrees that, at or
      before confirmation of a sale of Offered Certificates (other than a sale of
      Offered Certificates pursuant to Rule 144A) it will have sent to each
      distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other
      remuneration who purchases the Offered Certificates from or through it during
      the distribution compliance period as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S,
      a
      confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

     

    “The
      Offered Certificates covered hereby have not been registered under the United
      States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or
      sold within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of U.S.
      persons (as defined in Regulation S), except in accordance with Rule 144A under
      the Securities Act.”

     

    (h)  It
      represents and warrants that:

     

    (i)  it
      has
      only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or
      cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment
      activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets
      Act 2000 (“FSMA”)) in connection with the issue or sale of any Offered
      Certificates in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply
      to the Seller; and

     

    (ii)  it
      has
      complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect
      to anything done by it in relation to any Offered Certificates in, from or
      otherwise involving the United Kingdom, other than where the failure to so
      comply would not have a material adverse effect on the Seller and its Affiliates
      taken as a whole or on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
      the
      Related Documents; and

     

    (iii)  if
      it
      sells Offered Certificates in any other non-U.S. jurisdiction, it has complied
      with and will comply with all applicable laws of such jurisdiction with
      respect

     

    
      
         

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    to
      anything done by it in relation to the Offered Certificates in, from or
      otherwise involving such jurisdiction, other than where the failure to so comply
      would not have a material adverse effect on the Seller and its Affiliates taken
      as a whole or on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related
      Documents.

     

    (i)  It
      represents and warrants that (i) it is duly authorized and empowered to execute,
      deliver and perform this Agreement; (ii) the person signing this Agreement
      on
      its behalf has been duly authorized to do so; (iii) the execution, delivery
      and
      performance of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with, violate
      or
      constitute a default under any applicable law or regulation, its articles of
      organization or other organizational document or by-laws and (iv) this Agreement
      constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Initial Purchaser;
      provided that such enforceability may be limited by applicable
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now
      or
      hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general
      and such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether
      considered in a suit at law or in equity) and subject to the unenforceability,
      under certain circumstances, of provisions indemnifying a party against
      liability where such indemnification is contrary to public policy.

     

    (j)  If
      an
      electronic copy of the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum is
      delivered by the Initial Purchaser for any purpose, such copy shall be the
      same
      electronic file containing the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum
      (as applicable) in the identical form transmitted electronically to the Initial
      Purchaser by or on behalf of  the Seller specifically for use by the
      Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Section; for example, if the Final Memorandum
      is delivered to the Initial Purchaser by or on behalf of  the Seller
      in a single electronic file in .pdf format, then the Initial Purchaser will
      deliver the electronic copy of the Final Memorandum in the same single
      electronic file in .pdf format.

     

    (k)  The
      Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that it will deliver the Preliminary
      Memorandum to each investor to whom Offered Certificates are sold by the Initial
      Purchaser, prior to the Applicable Time or, if later, the time at which a
      contract of sale with such investor becomes effective unless, at such time,
      the
      Final Memorandum has been made available by the Seller to the Initial
      Purchaser.  In such event, the Initial Purchaser shall deliver the
      Final Memorandum to such investor to which it sells an Offered Certificate
      prior
      to the effective time of such sale.

     

    The
      Initial Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller and others will rely upon the
      truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and
      agreements.

      business or properties of the Seller, FSC, the Servicer or Spirit of America
      which, in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchaser after consultation
      with the Seller and the Servicer, materially impairs the investment quality
      of
      the Offered Certificates; (ii) any reduction in or withdrawal of the rating
      of
      the Certificates issued by the Trust or any other debt securities of the Seller,

      (vi) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United
      States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial
      national or international calamity or emergency if, in the reasonable judgment
      of the Initial Purchaser, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation,

      Certificates.

      untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Final Memorandum or
      the
      Preliminary Memorandum or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
      therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
      to
      make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
      were
      made, not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, expense
      or
      liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
      statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in
      reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information (as
      defined in subsection (b) below); provided, further, that none of
      CSRC, SOAI or FSC will be liable under the indemnity agreement in this
      subsection (a) with respect to the Preliminary Memorandum to the extent that
      any
      loss, claim, damage or liability of the Initial Purchaser (or any Person
      controlling the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act)
      results from the fact that the Initial Purchaser sold Offered Certificates
      to a
      person as to whom it is established that there was not sent or given, at or
      prior to consummation of such sale, a copy of the Final Memorandum (including
      any amendment or supplement but excluding documents incorporated by reference)
      if the Seller or the Servicer previously furnished copies of the Final
      Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement but excluding documents
      incorporated by reference) to the Initial Purchaser and the loss, claim, damage
      or liability of the Initial Purchaser (or any Person controlling the Initial
      Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act) results from an untrue
      statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum
      that is corrected in the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement to
      the
      Final Memorandum.

     

    (b)  The
      Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of CSRC, SOAI
      and
      FSC and each person, if any, who controls the CSRC, SOAI or FSC within the
      meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act,
      from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
      (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other reasonable
      expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any
      claim
      asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
      material fact contained in the Final Memorandum or the Preliminary Memorandum
      or
      caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
      required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
      therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
      misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
      statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance on or in
      conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information.  The “Initial
      Purchaser Information” includes the name of the Initial Purchaser as it
      appears on the front page of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum
      and the information in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum
      in
      the third paragraph under the heading “Plan of
      Distribution”.

     

    (c)  Promptly
      after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the
      commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
      thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or
      (b)
      above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the
      omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
      liability which it may have to

     

    
      
         

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    any
      indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above except and
      to
      the extent of any prejudice to such indemnifying party arising from such failure
      to provide such notice.  In case any such action is brought against
      any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
      thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and,
      to
      the extent that it may elect by written notice to the indemnified party, jointly
      with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
      thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who
      shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to
      the
      indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
      indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
      indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
      Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
      indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
      costs of investigation unless (i) the named parties in any such proceeding
      include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and representation
      of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
      potential differing interest between them, (ii) the indemnifying party shall
      not
      have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
      represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
      commencement of the action and assumption of the defense thereof, or (iii)
      the
      indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for
      the
      indemnified party; it is understood that the indemnifying party shall not,
      in
      connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction,
      be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition
      to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties.  No indemnifying
      party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
      any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any
      indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
      sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes
      an
      unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims
      that are the subject matter of such action and does not include a statement
      as
      to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf
      of
      any indemnified party.  No indemnifying party shall be liable under
      this section for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its
      prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     

    (d)  If
      the
      indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient
      to
      hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then
      in
      order to provide for just and equitable contribution, each indemnifying party
      shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
      a
      result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to
      in
      subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
      the relative benefits received by the CSRC, SOAI and FSC on the one hand and
      the
      Initial Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Offered Certificates,
      or
      (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
      applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
      relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault
      of
      CSR, SOAI and FSC on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other in
      connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
      claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable
      considerations.  The relative benefits received by CSRC, SOAI and FSC
      on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be

     

    
      
         

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    deemed
      to
      be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Offered
      Certificates (before deducting expenses) received by CSRC bear to the Initial
      Purchaser Fee.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference
      to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
      material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
      relates to information supplied by CSRC, SOAI or FSC, on the one hand, or
      information supplied by the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and the
      parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
      correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission with respect to the Offered
      Certificates and any other equitable consideration appropriate under the
      circumstances.  The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of
      the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to in the first
      sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any expenses
      reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
      or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection
      (d).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the
      Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess
      of
      the amount by which the Initial Purchaser Fee exceeds the amount of damages
      which the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
      such
      untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission with respect
      to the Offered Certificates.  No person guilty of fraudulent
      misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
      shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
      fraudulent misrepresentation.

     

    (e)  The
      obligations of CSRC, SOAI and FSC under this section shall be in addition to
      any
      liability which CSRC, SOAI and FSC may otherwise have and shall extend, upon
      the
      same terms and conditions, to the directors and officers of the Initial
      Purchaser and each Person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within
      the
      meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Initial Purchaser
      under this section shall be in addition to any liability which the Initial
      Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and
      conditions and to each Person, if any, who controls CSRC, SOAI or FSC within
      the
      meaning of the Securities Act.

     

    8.  Survival
      of Certain Representations and Obligations.  The respective
      indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of
      CSRC, SOAI  or FSC or their respective officers and of the Initial
      Purchaser or its officers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will
      remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement
      as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, the
      Seller, FSC or the Servicer or any of their respective representatives, officers
      or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment
      for the Offered Certificates.  If this Agreement is terminated, in
      whole or in part, or for any reason other than solely because of the occurrence
      of an event specified in clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 6(b), and the
      purchase of the Offered Certificates is not consummated, the Seller shall remain
      responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to
Section 4(f) and the obligations of the Seller, FSC and the Servicer
      pursuant to Section 7  shall remain in effect.

     

    9.  Notices.  All
      communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only upon receipt,

    13.  Benefit
      of Agreement.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
      binding upon Seller, the Servicer, FSC, the Initial Purchaser, any controlling
      persons referred to herein and their respective successors and
      assigns.  Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended
      or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal
      or
      equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any
      provision herein contained.  No purchaser of Offered Certificates from
      the Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of
      such
      purchase.

     

    Each
      of the Seller, FSC and SOAI
      acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Offered
      Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the
      offering price of the Offered Certificates and any related discounts and
      commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Seller, FSC
      and SOAI, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and
      the
      Seller, FSC and SOAI are capable of evaluating and understanding, and understand
      and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions

      by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby
      and the process leading to such transaction, the Initial Purchaser is and has
      been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the
      Seller, FSC, SOAI or their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or
      employees or any other party; (iii) the Initial Purchaser has not assumed and
      will not assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Seller,
      FSC or SOAI with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby or the process
      leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Initial Purchaser has advised
      or is
      currently advising the Seller, FSC or SOAI on other matters) or any other
      obligations to the Seller, FSC or SOAI, except the obligations expressly set
      forth in this Agreement; (iv) the Initial Purchaser and its Affiliates may
      be
      engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ
      from
      those of the Seller, FSC and SOAI, and that the Initial Purchaser has no
      obligation to disclose to the Seller, FSC or SOAI any of such interests by
      virtue of any relationship hereunder; and (v) the Initial Purchaser has not
      provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the
      offering contemplated hereby and the Seller, FSC and SOAI have consulted their
      own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed
      appropriate.

      amount equal to the amount set forth opposite its name in Schedule I hereto
      for a purchase price equal to 100% of such principal amount.

     

    (b)  Except
      as
      otherwise set forth herein, all rights of any Class C Holder with respect to
      any
      Class C Certificate shall be governed by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
      and
      the Supplement.

      shall be distributed to the Class C Holders;

      on a prior Distribution Date and not so paid;

      Account; and

     

    (vii)  an
      amount

      (i) through (vi) above shall be paid to the holder of the
      Exchangeable Seller Certificate.

     

    (c)  In
      order
      to effect the distributions required to be made under this Section 2.2,
      this Agreement hereby requires that amounts be paid pursuant to Section
      4.11(l) of Article IV under Section 8 of the Supplement, in
      each case to the extent funds are available for such payment under the terms
      of
      the Supplement, to be used to fund amounts described in Section

    SECTION
      2.4  Payments.  On
      or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Distribution Date, the
      Servicer shall deliver instructions to the Trustee regarding all payments to
      be
      made hereunder on such Distribution Date.  All payments to be made on
      behalf of the Trust hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, or
      otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior
      to 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof, to each Class C
      Holder in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
      and
      the Supplement.

     

    SECTION
      2.5  Class
      C Spread Account.  (a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the
      Class C Holders, shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and
      maintained, a spread account (the “Class C Spread Account”) for the sole
      and exclusive benefit of the Class C Holders and, after payment in full of
      the
      Class C Investor Interest, the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller
      Certificate.  The Class C Spread Account shall be established and
      maintained with the Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that
      the
      funds deposited therein are held exclusively for the benefit of the Class C
      Holders and, after payment in full of the Class C Investor Interest, the Holder
      of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate.  The Trustee shall possess all
      right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the
      Class
      C Spread Account and in all proceeds thereof for the benefit of the Class C
      Holders and upon payment in full of the Class C Investor Interest, the Holder
      of
      the Exchangeable Seller Certificate.  The Class C Spread Account shall
      be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the
      Class C Holders and upon payment in full of the Class C Investor Interest,
      the
      Holder of the Exchangeable Seller Certificate.  If, at any time, the
      Class C Spread Account ceases to be established and maintained with the Trustee,
      the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall on or before the next
      Distribution Date (or if such Distribution Date is not more than five Business
      Days from such date, the following Distribution Date) establish a new deposit
      account for the Class C Spread Account which shall be established and maintained
      with a Qualified Depository Institution and shall transfer any cash and/or
      any
      investments to such new deposit account and from the date such new account
      is
      established, it shall be the Class C Spread Account.  The Trustee at
      the written direction of the Servicer (or the Servicer on the Trustee’s behalf)
      shall make withdrawals from the Class C Spread Account from time to time for
      the
      purposes set forth in this Section 2.5.  Funds on deposit
      in the Class C Spread Account shall be invested at the written direction of
      the
      Servicer by the Trustee in Permitted Investments.  All such
      investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Class C Holders
      (and upon payment in full of the Class C Investor Interest, the Holder of the
      Exchangeable Seller Certificate); provided that on each Distribution
      Date, the Trustee shall (upon the written instruction of the Servicer and in
      accordance with the information set forth in Exhibit A) apply all
      interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses)
      as Available Interest Amounts, to the extent such interest and earnings together
      with other funds in the Class C Spread Account exceed the Required Class C
      Spread Amount, as provided in Section 2.2).  Funds on deposit
      in the Class C Spread Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments having
      maturities such that such funds will be available not later than the succeeding
      Distribution Date.

     

    (b)  If
      on any
      Distribution Date the aggregate amount available for distribution pursuant
      to
Section 2.2 on such Distribution Date is less than the aggregate
      amount required to be distributed pursuant to Sections 2.2 (b)(i) through
(v), then the Servicer shall direct the Trustee to withdraw the
      amount of
      such deficiency, up to the amount available in the Class C

     

    
      
         

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Spread
      Account, from the Class C Spread Account and apply such amount in the order
      of
      priority and in the manner set forth in Sections 2.2 (b)(i) through
(v).

     

    (c)  If
      on any
      Distribution Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from and deposits
      to
      the Class C Spread Account, including any withdrawals required under
paragraph (b) above, the amount on deposit in the Class C Spread
      Account would exceed the Required Class C Spread Amount, then such excess shall
      be distributed on such date to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller
      Certificate.  On the date on which the Class C Investor Interest has
      been reduced to zero and all other amounts owing to the Class C Holders
      hereunder and under the Supplement have been paid in full, the Servicer shall
      direct the Trustee to distribute all amounts then remaining in the Class C
      Spread Account to the Holder of the Exchangeable Seller
      Certificate.

     

    SECTION
      2.6  Nonrecourse
      and Recourse Obligations; Obligations Absolute.  Except as
      provided in Section 2.7, notwithstanding any provision in any other
      Section of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation to pay the Repayment
      Amount shall be without recourse to (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee,
      any Certificateholder, any Certificate Owner, any Receivables Purchaser or
      any
      Purchaser Representative or (ii) any affiliate, officer, director, employee
      or
      agent of any Person described in clause (i), and the obligation to pay
      such amounts hereunder shall be limited solely to the application of Available
      Amounts, as described in Section 2.2 hereof, and withdrawals from the
      Class C Spread Account as described in Section 2.5 hereof, in the Pooling
      and Servicing Agreement and the Supplement, which amounts shall be subordinated
      to the rights of other Investor Certificateholders as provided herein and in
      the
      Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Supplement.

     

    SECTION
      2.7  Indemnification.  (a)
      The Trust, acting through the Trustee (and at the direction of the Servicer),
      but only to the extent funds are available therefor under Section 2.2 and
Section 2.5, the Seller and the Servicer agree to indemnify and hold
      harmless each Class C Holder and any director, officer, employee, representative
      or agent of such Class C Holder (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”)
      from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
      expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) whatsoever (other
      than claims for payment of Class C Monthly Interest, Class C
      Deficiency Amounts and Class C Monthly Principal) which the Indemnitee may
      incur (or which may be claimed against the Indemnitee) by reason of or in
      connection with (i) the execution and delivery of payment under, this Agreement
      or the Class C Investor Interest or (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby,
      except (A) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost
      or
      expense shall be caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the
      Indemnitee in performing its obligations under this Agreement or a Class C
      Certificate, (B) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability,
      cost or expense relates to any income or franchise tax based on the net income
      of such Class C Holder or any other tax upon or measured by income, gross
      receipts, assets or capital of such Class C Holder imposed by the United States
      of America or by any state, locality or foreign jurisdiction in which such
      Class
      C Holder maintains an office or permanent establishment or is otherwise doing
      business or (C) as provided in Section 7.3 hereof.  If an
      Indemnitee has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.7
      arising from (i) any representation and warranty of the Seller or the
      Servicer made herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement being incorrect
      in any material respect when made, (ii) noncompliance by the Seller or the
      Servicer with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Pooling
      and

     

    
      
         

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Servicing
      Agreement or the Supplement or (iii) the amounts of any Class C Reduction
      Amount, to the extent such amounts represent amounts which the Seller or the
      Servicer failed to deposit in the Collection Account in accordance with the
      Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with interest thereon, such claim,
      notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.6, shall be with recourse to
      the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, but not to any successor to
      the
      Servicer.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the sole remedy
      against the Seller or the Servicer for a breach of a representation, warranty
      or
      covenant made in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be limited to the
      right to remedies provided therein and this Section 2.7 is not intended
      to create any claim against the Seller or Servicer not otherwise created by
      the
      terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     

    (b)  Promptly
      after the receipt by any Indemnitee of a notice of commencement of any action,
      such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
      Trust, the Seller or the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.7(a) (the
“Indemnifying Party”), notify such Indemnifying Party in writing of the
      commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify such Indemnifying Party
      will
      not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to
      such
      Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2.7(a) except and to the extent of any
      prejudice to such Indemnifying Party arising from such failure to provide such
      notice.  In case any such action shall be brought against any
      Indemnitee and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement
      thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and,
      to
      the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party
      similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory
      to
      such Indemnitee (who shall not, except with the consent of such Indemnitee,
      be
      counsel to the Indemnifying Party) with respect to such action, and it being
      understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one
      such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the
      same
      jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
      be
      liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm
      of
      attorneys for all such indemnified parties.  Upon receipt of notice
      from an Indemnifying Party to such Indemnitee of such Indemnifying Party’s
      election so to appoint counsel to assume the defense of such action and approval
      by such Indemnitee of such counsel, such Indemnifying Party will not be liable
      to such Indemnitee under this Section 2.7 for any legal or other expenses
      subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof
      other than reasonable costs of investigation.  No Indemnifying Party
      shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any
      settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any
      Indemnitee is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
      hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement includes an unconditional
      release of such Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject
      matter of such action.  No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under
      this section for any settlement of any claim or action effected without their
      prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
      withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case any action is
      brought against an Indemnitee in which the Seller, the Servicer or the Trust
      is
      a defendant, and such Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be legal
      defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
      available to the Seller, the Servicer or the Trust, such Indemnitee shall have
      the right to select and, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to assert
      such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense.

    SECTION
      2.8  Increased
      Cost, Reduced Return and Taxes.

     

    (a)  If
      (i)
      Regulation D or (ii) any Regulatory Change occurring after the date
      hereof:

     

    (A)  shall
      impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation,
      any reserve imposed by the Federal Reserve Board), special deposit or similar
      requirement against assets of any Funding Source, deposits or obligations with
      or for the account of any Funding Source or with or for the account of any
      affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an affiliate)
      of
      any Funding Source, or credit extended by any Funding Source under any Funding
      Agreement; or

     

    (B)  shall
      change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed
      to
      be maintained by any Funding Source; or

     

    (C)  shall
      impose any other condition affecting any Class C Certificates owned or funded
      in
      whole or in part by any Funding Source, or its obligations or rights, if any,
      to
      fund the Class C Investor Interest;

     

    and
      the
      result of any of the foregoing is or would be

     

    (x)           to
      increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D referred to above, to
      impose a cost on) a Funding Source funding the Class C Investor Interest, any
      purchases, reinvestments, or loans or other extensions of credit under the
      Liquidity Agreement or any Credit Agreement, or any commitment of such Funding
      Source with respect to any of the foregoing,

     

    (y)           to
      reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under
      the Liquidity Agreement or the Credit Agreement with respect thereto,
      or

     

    (z)           in
      the reasonable determination of such Funding Source, to reduce the rate of
      return on the capital of a Funding Source as a consequence of its obligations
      arising in connection herewith to a level below that which such Funding Source
      could otherwise have achieved but for Regulation D or such Regulatory
      Change,

     

    then
      within thirty days after demand by such Funding Source (which demand shall
      be
      accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Trust
      shall pay to the applicable Structured Holder solely from Available Amounts
      available therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(b) for the benefit
      of such Funding Source, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or to
      compensate such Funding Source for such reduction. This Section 2.8(a)
      shall not apply to Taxes.  For the avoidance of doubt, any
      interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial
      Accounting Standards Board (including Interpretation of No.
      46:  Consolidation of Variable Entities) shall constitute an adoption,
      change, request or directive subject to this Section 2.8(a).

     

    (b)  Each
      Funding Source will promptly notify the applicable Structured Holder and the
      Seller of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Funding
      Source to

     

    
      
         

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    compensation
      pursuant to this Section 2.8; provided, however, no failure
      to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights
      of any Funding Source to such compensation.

     

    (c)  In
      determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 2.8, a
      Funding Source may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods that
      it
      (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable.  Any Funding Source
      when making a claim under this Section 2.8 shall submit to the
      applicable Structured Holder and the Seller a statement as to such increased
      cost or reduced return (including calculation thereof in reasonable detail),
      which statement shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive
      and
      binding upon Seller.

     

    (d)  Each
      Structured Holder agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to take
      any action that will avoid the need to pay, or will reduce the amount of, any
      increased amounts referred to in paragraph (a) and agrees that the
      Servicer may require such Structured Holder to replace a Funding Source if
      there
      arises any obligation to make any payments to such Funding Source pursuant
      to
      this Section 2.8; provided that a Structured Holder shall not
      be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such
      Structured Holder, be disadvantageous to such Structured Holder and shall not
      be
      required to replace any Funding Source unless such replacement Funding Source
      is
      reasonably acceptable to such Structured Holder.

     

    (e)  Subject
      to Section 2.8(g), any and all payments made under this Agreement shall
      be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or
      future Taxes.  If any amount of Taxes shall be required by law to be
      deducted from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Foreign Funding
      Source that is an assignee or participant of a Structured Holder, (i) the sum
      payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
      deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
      this Section 2.8(e)), such Foreign Funding Source receives an amount
      equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
      the Trustee shall make such deductions and (iii) the Trustee shall pay the
      full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority

      2.2, Section 2.7 and Article V (in the case of Sections
      5.2 or 5.3 under Article V, excluding any documents received
      by any Successor Servicer and also excluding any documents received by Spirit,
      Inc. from the Successor Servicer), or Section 7.3 of this Agreement,
      whether arising before or after such date.

     

    SECTION
      7.3  Fees
      and Expenses.  Each party shall pay all fees and expenses incurred
      by it in connection with preparing and entering into this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Seller will reimburse each of the
      Initial Class C Holders for its out-of-pocket expenses and shall directly pay
      all reasonable legal fees and expenses and disbursements of its counsel
      (including fees, expenses and disbursements of such counsel incurred in
      connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement) in an aggregate
      amount not to exceed the Expense Cap.  The Trust through the Trustee
      (acting in accordance with instructions of the Servicer), but solely to the
      extent funds are available therefor under Section 2.2(b), and the Seller
      agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Class C Holders
      in connection with any amendment to, or any waiver requested under, this
      Agreement, and of the Class C Holders in connection with the “work-out” or
      enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any of the other documents
      delivered in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable
      fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its legal counsel with respect
      thereto.

    SECTION
      7.4  Governing
      Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
      AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO
      ITS
      CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.

     

    SECTION
      7.5  No
      Waiver.  Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of any
      party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as
      a
      waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
      other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or
      privilege.

     

    SECTION
      7.6  Severability.  In
      case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be
      invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
      enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any
      way
      be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good
      faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions
      with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible
      to
      that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

     

    SECTION
      7.7  Termination.  This
      Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the
      payment in full of the Class C Investor Interest and all other amounts payable
      to the Class C Holders hereunder and under the Supplement and (ii) the Series
      2007-1 Termination Date; provided that Sections 2.6, 2.7,
2.8, 7.10, 7.12 and 7.16 shall survive the
      termination of this Agreement.

     

    SECTION
      7.8  Transfer
      Restrictions.  (a) Each of the Initial Class C Holders
      shall deliver, on or prior to the Closing Date, to the Seller and the Trustee
      a
      purchaser representation letter substantially in the form attached hereto as
      Exhibit B for such Initial Class C Holder and for each Funding Source
      executing the Liquidity Agreement as a “Liquidity Bank” on the Closing
      Date.  Additionally, for so long as any Structured Holder is a Class C
      Holder, such Structured Holder shall require each Funding Source that executes
      a
      Credit Agreement or Liquidity Agreement pursuant to which such Funding Source
      agrees to purchase an interest in all or a portion of the Class C Investor
      Interest from time to time to deliver to the Seller and the Trustee a purchaser
      representation letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
      B for such Funding Source on or prior to the execution of such Credit
      Agreement or Liquidity Agreement.  No Class C Certificate may be
      offered, sold or otherwise transferred to any Person (other than the Seller
      or a
      State Street Related Party) unless (x) the Seller shall have been given an
      opportunity to purchase such Class C Certificate in accordance with Section
      7.8(c) and (y) if the Seller does not exercise its right to purchase
      such Class C Certificate, the Seller shall have given its prior written approval
      to such offer, sale or transfer (which approval shall not be unreasonably
      withheld).  Each Class C Holder further agrees that it will not
      make any general solicitation or general advertising for the offer or sale
      of
      its Class C Certificate and will not transfer its Class C Certificate (or any
      portion thereof) to any Person except to a Person within the United States
      which
      such Class C Holder reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional
      buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Act) that is purchasing (1) for its
      own account or (2) for the account of a “qualified institutional buyer” (as so
      defined) that is, in either case, aware that such resale, pledge or transfer
      is
      being made in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Act, and,
      in
      either case, unless such Person is a U.S. Person (as defined in
      Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and shall have delivered to such
      Class C Holder a purchaser representation letter

     

    
      
         

      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    substantially
      in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Each Class C
      Holder further agrees to provide to any Person purchasing a Class C Certificate
      (or any portion thereof) from it a notice advising such purchaser that resales
      of the Class C Certificates are restricted as stated above.

     

    (b)  Seller
      shall not execute, and (if given prior written notice by the Servicer of the
      inability of the Seller to execute any Subject Instrument by operation of this
      clause (b)) the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall not register the
      transfer of, any Class C Certificate unless (i) after giving effect to the
      execution or transfer of such Class C Certificate, there would be no more than
      5
      Private Holders of Class C Certificates and (ii) the other conditions to
      transfer set forth in Section 6.3 of the Pooling Agreement and in
Section 16 of the Series 2007-1 Supplement to the Pooling Agreement have
      been satisfied.

     

    (c)           Any
      Class C Holder that intends to offer, sell or otherwise transfer its Class
      C
      Certificate to a Person other than the Seller or any State Street Related Party
      (any such offering, sale or transfer being herein called a “Proposed
      Transfer”), such Class C Holder shall give the Seller not less than ten days
      prior written notice of the Proposed Transfer.  Such notice shall
      include the proposed date of transfer, the Person or Persons to which such
      transfer will be made, and all other material terms of the Proposed Transfer
      (other than the purchase price).  During the period of five Business
      Days following the Seller’s receipt of such notice, the Seller shall be entitled
      to notify such Class C Holder that the Seller will acquire such Class C
      Certificate on the terms set forth in such notice and at a price acceptable
      to
      such Class C Holder in its sole discretion.  Such acquisition will
      occur on or before the date specified for the Proposed Transfer in such notice,
      and each Class C Holder hereby agrees, subject to acceptance of the purchase
      price therefor, to transfer such Class C Certificate to the Seller on the terms
      set forth in any such notice sent by it.  If the Seller does not
      notify such Class C Holder of its intent to acquire such Class C Certificate
      within such five Business Day period, it will be deemed to have elected not
      to
      so acquire such Class C Certificate.

                understand that the Certificates are not being registered under the

                the
                Certificates, and we (and any account for which we are purchasing)
                are
                able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
                Certificates;

                (“ERISA”), that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” as defined
                in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or an entity deemed to

                therein) will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under,
                or

                to the

              □

              □

              □  

            	
              State
                or Local Plan.  Buyer is a plan established and maintained
                by a State, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality

                employees.

            

    

     

    
      	
              □

                the Investment Advisers Act of
                1940.

            

    

     

    The
      term
“securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are
      affiliated with Buyer, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment
      to
      or subscription by Buyer (if Buyer is a dealer), (iii) securities issued or
      guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iv) bank deposit notes
      and certificates of deposit, (v) loan participations, (vi) repurchase
      agreements, (vii) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement, and
      (viii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

     

    For
      purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested
      on a discretionary basis, Buyer used the cost of such securities to Buyer and
      did not include any of the securities referred to in the preceding
      paragraph.

     

    Further,
      in determining such aggregate amount, Buyer may have included securities owned
      by subsidiaries of Buyer, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with
      Buyer in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed
      under Buyer’s direction.  However, such securities were not included
      if Buyer is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise
      and
      Buyer is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934.

     

    [Buyer
      acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that you and
      your customers (if you act as a broker for one or more customers) are and will
      continue to rely

     

    

      

    

     

      1
        Buyer must own
        and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least $100,000,000 in securities
        of
        issuers that are not affiliated with the Buyer, unless Buyer is a dealer,
        and,
        in that case, Buyer must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least
        $10,000,000 in securities of issuers that are not affiliated with the
        Buyer.

    

    
      
         

      

      
        B-7

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    on
      the
      statements made herein because one or more sales by you for your own account
      of
      your customer’s account to Buyer may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

     

    Will
      Buyer be purchasing Rule 144A securities only for Buyer’s own
      account?______

     

                                                                                                                         Yes           No

     

    If
      the
      answer to this question is “no”, Buyer agrees that, in connection with any
      purchase of securities sold to Buyer for the account of a third party (including
      any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, Buyer will only purchase for
      the
      account of a third party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer”
within the meaning of Rule 144A.  In addition, Buyer agrees that Buyer
      will not purchase securities for a third party unless Buyer has obtained a
      current representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate
      steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently
      meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule
      144A.]2

     

    Buyer
      agrees to notify you of any changes in the information and conclusions
      herein.  Until such notice is given to you, Buyer’s purchase of
      securities from you, or through you from your customers will constitute a
      reaffirmation of the foregoing certifications and acknowledgments as of the
      date
      of such purchase.

     

    Further,
      if Buyer is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, Buyer agrees that
      it
      will furnish you with updated annual financial statements promptly after they
      become available.

              ______

            	
              Buyer
                is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate
                $_______ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred
                to
                below) as of the end of Buyer’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being
                calculated in accordance with Rule
                144A).

            

    

     

    For
      purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by Buyer or Buyer’s
      Family of Investment Companies, I used the cost of such securities.

     

    The
      term
“Family of Investment Companies” as used herein means two or more
      registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same
      investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of
      being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment
      adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).

     

    The
      term
“securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers
      that are affiliated with Buyer or are part of Buyer’s Family of Investment
      Companies, (ii) securities

     

    
      
         

      

      
        B-9

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    issued
      or
      guaranteed by the U.S. or any instrumentality thereof, (iii) bank deposit notes
      and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase
      agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and
      (vii) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

     

    [On
      behalf of Buyer, I acknowledge that Buyer is familiar with Rule 144A and
      understands that you and your customers (if you act as a broker for one or
      more
      customers) are and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because
      one or more sales to Buyer by you for your own account or your customer’s
      account will be in reliance on Rule 144A.  In addition, on behalf of
      Buyer, I agree that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold by
      or
      through you in reliance on Rule 144A, Buyer will only purchase for Buyer’s own
      account.]3

     

    Finally,
      on behalf of Buyer or Adviser (as appropriate), I also agree to notify you
      of
      any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such
      notice is given to you, Buyer’s purchase of securities from you, or through you
      from your customers, will constitute a reaffirmation of the foregoing
      certifications and acknowledgments as of the date of such purchase.
