                              2002 MASTER AGREEMENT

                     dated as of      November 1, 2006
                                  -------------------------

         BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,                     ABFC 2006-0PT3 TRUST,
                                      and

                                            a common law trust organized and

                                            "Trustee", andnot in its individual
                                            capacity

              ("Party A")                               ("Party B")

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this 2002 Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties or otherwise
effective for the purpose of confirming or evidencing those Transactions. This
2002 Master Agreement and the Schedule are together referred to as this "Master
Agreement".

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:-

1.    Interpretation

(a)   Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and elsewhere in this Master
Agreement will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this
Master Agreement.

(b)   Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement, such Confirmation will prevail for the
purpose of the relevant Transaction.

(c)   Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the
fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement
between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the
parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2.    Obligations

(a)   General Conditions.

      (i)   Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
      Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
      Agreement.

      (ii)  Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
      on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
      Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
      transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
      required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by
      payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the
      manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in
      the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

      (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
      (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
      Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing,
      (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of
      the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and
      (3) each other condition specified in this Agreement to be a condition
      precedent for the purpose of this Section 2(a)(iii).

(b)   Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the Scheduled Settlement Date for the payment or delivery
to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a
reasonable objection to such change.

(c)   Netting of Payments. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:-

      (i)   in the same currency; and

      (ii)  in respect of the same Transaction,

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by which the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
and payment obligation will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on
the same date in the same currency in respect of those Transactions, regardless
of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The
election may be made in the Schedule or any Confirmation by specifying that
"Multiple Transaction Payment Netting" applies to the Transactions identified as
being subject to the election (in which case clause (ii) above will not apply to
such Transactions). If Multiple Transaction Payment Netting is applicable to
Transactions, it will apply to those Transactions with effect from the starting
date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, or, if a starting date is
not specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, the starting date otherwise
agreed by the parties in writing. This election may be made separately for
different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of
Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.

(d)   Deduction or Withholding for Tax.

      (i)   Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
      deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
      deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by
      the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in
      effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party
      ("X") will:-

            (1)   promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;

            (2)   pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
            deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
            deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under
            this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that
            such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that
            such amount has been assessed against Y;

            (3)   promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified
            copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing
            such payment to such authorities; and

            (4)   if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to
            the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
            such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
            actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes,
            whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would
            have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
            However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to
            the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:-

                  (A)   the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
                  contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

                  (B)   the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
                  Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would
                  not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing
                  authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction,
                  after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether
                  such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to
                  this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

      (ii)  Liability. If:-

            (1)   X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the
            practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
            deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required
            to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);

            (2)   X does not so deduct or withhold; and

            (3)   a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly
            against X,

      then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability
      resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such
      liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any
      related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or
      perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

3.    Representations

Each party makes the representations contained in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c),
3(d), 3(e) and 3(f) and, if specified in the Schedule as applying, 3(g) to the

            possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress,
            execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied,
            enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets
            and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is
            not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within
            15 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with
            respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction,
            has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses
            (1) to (7) above (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance
            of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in,
            any of the foregoing acts; or

      (viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider
      of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
      transfers all or substantially all its assets to, or reorganises,
      reincorporates or reconstitutes into or as, another entity and, at the
      time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer,
      reorganisation, reincorporation or reconstitution:-

            (1)   the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume
            all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider
            under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or
            its predecessor was a party; or

            (2)   the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
            (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such
            resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under
            this Agreement.

(b)   Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any event specified below constitutes (subject to Section 5(c))
an Illegality if the event is specified in clause (i) below, a Force Majeure
Event if the event is specified in clause (ii) below, a Tax Event if the event
is specified in clause (iii) below, a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is
specified in clause (iv) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit
Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to clause (v) below or an
Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to clause (vi)
below:-

      (i)   Illegality. After giving effect to any applicable provision,
      disruption fallback or remedy specified in, or pursuant to, the relevant
      Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement, due to an event or
      circumstance (other than any action taken by a party or, if applicable,
      any Credit Support Provider of such party) occurring after a Transaction
      is entered into, it becomes unlawful under any applicable law (including
      without limitation the laws of any country in which payment, delivery or
      compliance is required by either party or any Credit Support Provider, as
      the case may be), on any day, or it would be unlawful if the relevant
      payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day (in each case,
      other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)):-

            (1)   for the Office through which such party (which will be the
            Affected Party) makes and receives payments or deliveries with
            respect to such Transaction to perform any absolute or contingent
            obligation to make a payment or delivery in respect of such
            Transaction, to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such
            Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this
            Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

            (2)   for such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party
            (which will be the Affected Party) to perform any absolute or
            contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery which such party
            or Credit Support Provider has under any Credit Support Document
            relating to such Transaction, to receive a payment or delivery under
            such Credit Support Document or to comply with any other material
            provision of such Credit Support Document;

      (ii)  Force Majeure Event. After giving effect to any applicable
      provision, disruption fallback or remedy specified in, or pursuant to, the
      relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement, by reason of force
      majeure or act of state occurring after a Transaction is entered into, on
      any day:-

            (1)   the Office through which such party (which will be the
            Affected Party) makes and receives payments or deliveries with
            respect to such Transaction is prevented from performing any
            absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery in
            respect of such Transaction, from receiving a payment or delivery in
            respect of such Transaction or from complying with any other
            material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction
            (or would be so prevented if such payment, delivery or compliance
            were required on that day), or it becomes impossible or
            impracticable for such Office so to perform, receive or comply (or
            it would be impossible or impracticable for such Office so to
            perform, receive or comply if such payment, delivery or compliance
            were required on that day); or

            (2)   such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party (which
            will be the Affected Party) is prevented from performing any
            absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery
            which such party or Credit Support Provider has under any Credit
            Support Document relating to such Transaction, from receiving a
            payment or delivery under such Credit Support Document or from
            complying with any other material provision of such Credit Support
            Document (or would be so prevented if such payment, delivery or
            compliance were required on that day), or it becomes impossible or
            impracticable for such party or Credit Support Provider so to
            perform, receive or comply (or it would be impossible or
            impracticable for such party or Credit Support Provider so to
            perform, receive or comply if such payment, delivery or compliance
            were required on that day),

      so long as the force majeure or act of state is beyond the control of such
      Office, such party or such Credit Support Provider, as appropriate, and
      such Office, party or Credit Support Provider could not, after using all
      reasonable efforts (which will not require such party or Credit Support
      Provider to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses),
      overcome such prevention, impossibility or impracticability;

      (iii) Tax Event. Due to (1) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
      brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, after a Transaction is
      entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with
      respect to a party to this Agreement) or (2) a Change in Tax Law, the
      party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial
      likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Settlement Date
      (A) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect
      of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of
      interest under Section 9(h)) or (B) receive a payment from which an amount
      is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except
      in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) and no additional amount is
      required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other
      than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

      (iv)  Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next
      succeeding Scheduled Settlement Date will either (1) be required to pay an
      additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
      2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 9(h)) or (2)
      receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for
      or on account of any Tax in respect of which the other party is not
      required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section
      2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating
      or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or
      substantially all its assets (or any substantial part of the assets
      comprising the business conducted by it as of the date of this Master
      Agreement) to, or reorganising, reincorporating or reconstituting into or
      as, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action
      does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption;

      (v)   Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
      in the Schedule as applying to the party, a Designated Event (as defined
      below) occurs with respect to such party, any Credit Support Provider of
      such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (in each case,
      "X") and such Designated Event does not constitute a Merger Without
      Assumption, and the creditworthiness of X or, if applicable, the
      successor, surviving or transferee entity of X, after taking into account
      any applicable Credit Support Document, is materially weaker immediately
      after the occurrence of such Designated Event than that of X immediately
      prior to the occurrence of such Designated Event (and, in any such event,
      such party or its successor, surviving or transferee entity, as
      appropriate, will be the Affected Party). A "Designated Event" with
      respect to X means that:-

            (1)   X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
            transfers all or substantially all its assets (or any substantial
            part of the assets comprising the business conducted by X as of the
            date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganises, reincorporates or
            reconstitutes into or as, another entity;

            (2)   any person, related group of persons or entity acquires
            directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of (A) equity
            securities having the power to elect a majority of the board of
            directors (or its equivalent) of X or (B) any other ownership
            interest enabling it to exercise control of X; or

            (3)   X effects any substantial change in its capital structure by
            means of the issuance, incurrence or guarantee of debt or the
            issuance of (A) preferred stock or other securities convertible into
            or exchangeable for debt or preferred stock or (B) in the case of
            entities other than corporations, any other form of ownership
            interest; or

      (vi)  Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event"
      is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the
      occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or
      Affected Parties will be as specified for such Additional Termination
      Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c)   Hierarchy of Events.

      (i)   An event or circumstance that constitutes or gives rise to an
      Illegality or a Force Majeure Event will not, for so long as that is the
      case, also constitute or give rise to an Event of Default under Section
      5(a)(i), 5(a)(ii)(1) or 5(a)(iii)(1) insofar as such event or circumstance
      relates to the failure to make any payment or delivery or a failure to
      comply with any other material provision of this Agreement or a Credit
      Support Document, as the case may be.

      (ii)  Except in circumstances contemplated by clause (i) above, if an
      event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an
      Illegality or a Force Majeure Event also constitutes an Event of Default
      or any other Termination Event, it will be treated as an Event of Default
      or such other Termination Event, as the case may be, and will not
      constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event.

      (iii) If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give
      rise to a Force Majeure Event also constitutes an Illegality, it will be
      treated as an Illegality, except as described in clause (ii) above, and
      not a Force Majeure Event.

(d)   Deferral of Payments and Deliveries During Waiting Period. If an
Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has occurred and is continuing with respect
to a Transaction, each payment or delivery which would otherwise be required to
be made under that Transaction will be deferred to, and will not be due until:-

      (i)   the first Local Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, the
      first Local Delivery Day (or the first day that would have been a Local
      Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as appropriate, but for the occurrence
      of the event or circumstance constituting or giving rise to that
      Illegality or Force Majeure Event) following the end of any applicable
      Waiting Period in respect of that Illegality or Force Majeure Event, as
      the case may be; or

      (ii)  if earlier, the date on which the event or circumstance constituting
      or giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event ceases to exist
      or, if such date is not a Local Business Day or, in the case of a
      delivery, a Local Delivery Day, the first following day that is a Local
      Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as appropriate.

(e)   Inability of Head or Home Office to Perform Obligations of Branch. If (i)
an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event occurs under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or
5(b)(ii)(1) and the relevant Office is not the Affected Party's head or home
office, (ii) Section 10(a) applies, (iii) the other party seeks performance of
the relevant obligation or compliance with the relevant provision by the
Affected Party's head or home office and (iv) the Affected Party's head or home
office fails so to perform or comply due to the occurrence of an event or
circumstance which would, if that head or home office were the Office through
which the Affected Party makes and receives payments and deliveries with respect
to the relevant Transaction, constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force
Majeure Event, and such failure would otherwise constitute an Event of Default
under Section 5(a)(i)or 5(a)(iii)(1) with respect to such party, then, for so
long as the relevant event or circumstance continues to exist with respect to
both the Office referred to in Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1), as the case
may be, and the Affected Party's head or home office, such failure will not
constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1).

6.    Early Termination; Close-Out Netting

(a)   Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is
then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more
than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however,
"Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions
will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the
institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant
petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

(b)   Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.

      (i)   Notice. If a Termination Event other than a Force Majeure Event
      occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify
      the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each
      Affected Transaction, and will also give the other party such other
      information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably
      require. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, each party will, promptly upon
      becoming aware of it, use all reasonable efforts to notify the other
      party, specifying the nature of that Force Majeure Event, and will also
      give the other party such other information about that Force Majeure Event
      as the other party may reasonably require.

      (ii)  Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If a Tax Event occurs and there
      is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the
      Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a
      condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under
      Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such
      party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses) to
      transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all
      its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected
      Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such
      Termination Event ceases to exist.

      If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
      notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
      whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after
      the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

      Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject
      to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party,
      which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in
      effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the
      transferee on the terms proposed.

      (iii) Two Affected Parties. If a Tax Event occurs and there are two
      Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach
      agreement within 30 days after notice of such occurrence is given under
      Section 6(b)(i) to avoid that Termination Event.

      (iv)  Right to Terminate.

            (1)   If:-

                  (A)   a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under
                  Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected
                  with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after
                  an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

                  (B)   a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination
                  Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the
                  Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,

            the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any
            Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional
            Termination Event if there are two Affected Parties, or the
            Non-affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an
            Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party
            may, if the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, by not
            more than 20 days notice to the other party, designate a day not
            earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early
            Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.

            (2)   If at any time an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has
            occurred and is then continuing and any applicable Waiting Period
            has expired:-

                  (A)   Subject to clause (B) below, either party may, by not
                  more than 20 days notice to the other party, designate (I) a
                  day not earlier than the day on which such notice becomes
                  effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all
                  Affected Transactions or (II) by specifying in that notice the
                  Affected Transactions in respect of which it is designating
                  the relevant day as an Early Termination Date, a day not
                  earlier than two Local Business Days following the day on
                  which such notice becomes effective as an Early Termination
                  Date in respect of less than all Affected Transactions. Upon
                  receipt of a notice designating an Early Termination Date in
                  respect of less than all Affected Transactions, the other
                  party may, by notice to the designating party, if such notice
                  is effective on or before the day so designated, designate
                  that same day as an Early Termination Date in respect of any
                  or all other Affected Transactions.

                  (B)   An Affected Party (if the Illegality or Force Majeure
                  Event relates to performance by such party or any Credit
                  Support Provider of such party of an obligation to make any
                  payment or delivery under, or to compliance with any other
                  material provision of, the relevant Credit Support Document)
                  will only have the right to designate an Early Termination
                  Date under Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A) as a result of an Illegality
                  under Section 5(b)(i)(2) or a Force Majeure Event under
                  Section 5(b)(ii)(2) following the prior designation by the
                  other party of an Early Termination Date, pursuant to Section
                  6(b)(iv)(2)(A), in respect of less than all Affected
                  Transactions.

(c)   Effect of Designation.

      (i)   If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under
      Section 6(a) or 6(b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
      designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination
      Event is then continuing.

      (ii)  Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
      Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 9(h)(i)
      in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but
      without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount,
      if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date will be determined
      pursuant to Sections 6(e) and 9(h)(ii).

(d)   Calculations; Payment Date.

      (i)   Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
      occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
      calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
      provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
      such calculations (including any quotations, market data or information
      from internal sources used in making such calculations), (2) specifying
      (except where there are two Affected Parties) any Early Termination Amount
      payable and (3) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount
      payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from
      the source of a quotation or market data obtained in determining a
      Close-out Amount, the records of the party obtaining such quotation or
      market data will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of
      such quotation or market data.

      (ii)  Payment Date. An Early Termination Amount due in respect of any
      Early Termination Date will, together with any amount of interest payable
      pursuant to Section 9(h)(ii)(2), be payable (1) on the day on which notice
      of the amount payable is effective in the case of an Early Termination
      Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default and
      (2) on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which
      notice of the amount payable is effective (or, if there are two Affected
      Parties, after the day on which the statement provided pursuant to clause
      (i) above by the second party to provide such a statement is effective) in
      the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a
      Termination Event.

(e)   Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
amount, if any, payable in respect of that Early Termination Date (the "Early
Termination Amount") will be determined pursuant to this Section 6(e) and will
be subject to Section 6(f).

      (i)   Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an
      Event of Default, the Early Termination Amount will be an amount equal to
      (1) the sum of (A) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Close-out
      Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative) determined by
      the Non-defaulting Party for each Terminated Transaction or group of
      Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and (B) the Termination
      Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting
      Party less (2) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts
      owing to the Defaulting Party. If the Early Termination Amount is a
      positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting
      Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the
      absolute value of the Early Termination Amount to the Defaulting Party.

      (ii)  Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a
      Termination Event:-

            (1)   One Affected Party. Subject to clause (3) below, if there is
            one Affected Party, the Early Termination Amount will be determined
            in accordance with Section 6(e)(i), except that references to the
            Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to
            be references to the Affected Party and to the Non-affected Party,
            respectively.

            (2)   Two Affected Parties. Subject to clause (3) below, if there
            are two Affected Parties, each party will determine an amount equal
            to the Termination Currency Equivalent of the sum of the Close-out
            Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative) for each
            Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the
            case may be, and the Early Termination Amount will be an amount
            equal to (A) the sum of (I) one-half of the difference between the
            higher amount so determined (by party "X") and the lower amount so
            determined (by party "Y") and (II) the Termination Currency
            Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (B) the Termination
            Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y. If the Early
            Termination Amount is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it
            is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of the Early
            Termination Amount to Y.

            (3)   Mid-Market Events. If that Termination Event is an Illegality
            or a Force Majeure Event, then the Early Termination Amount will be
            determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) above, as
            appropriate, except that, for the purpose of determining a Close-out
            Amount or Close-out Amounts, the Determining Party will:-

                  (A)   if obtaining quotations from one or more third parties
                  (or from any of the Determining Party's Affiliates), ask each
                  third party or Affiliate (I) not to take account of the
                  current creditworthiness of the Determining Party or any
                  existing Credit Support Document and (II) to provide
                  mid-market quotations; and

                  (B)   in any other case, use mid-market values without regard
                  to the creditworthiness of the Determining Party.

      (iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early
      Termination Date occurs because Automatic Early Termination applies in
      respect of a party, the Early Termination Amount will be subject to such
      adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by applicable law to reflect
      any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this
      Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the
      relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under
      Section 6(d)(ii).

      (iv)  Adjustment for Illegality or Force Majeure Event. The failure by a
      party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to pay, when due, any
      Early Termination Amount will not constitute an Event of Default under
      Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1) if such failure is due to the occurrence
      of an event or circumstance which would, if it occurred with respect to
      payment, delivery or compliance related to a Transaction, constitute or
      give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event. Such amount will (1)
      accrue interest and otherwise be treated as an Unpaid Amount owing to the
      other party if subsequently an Early Termination Date results from an
      Event of Default, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination
      Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are Affected
      Transactions and (2) otherwise accrue interest in accordance with Section
      9(h)(ii)(2).

      (v)   Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that an amount recoverable under
      this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty.
      Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection
      against future risks, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
      neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a
      consequence of the termination of the Terminated Transactions.

(f)   Set-Off. Any Early Termination Amount payable to one party (the "Payee")
by the other party (the "Payer"), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting
Party or where there is one Affected Party in the case where either a Credit
Event Upon Merger has occurred or any other Termination Event in respect of
which all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions has occurred, will,
at the option of the Non-defaulting Party or the Non-affected Party, as the case
may be ("X") (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected
Party, as the case may be), be reduced by its set-off against any other amounts
("Other Amounts") payable by the Payee to the Payer (whether or not arising
under this Agreement, matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency,
place of payment or place of booking of the obligation). To the extent that any
Other Amounts are so set off, those Other Amounts will be discharged promptly
and in all respects. X will give notice to the other party of any set-off
effected under this Section 6(f).

For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Amounts (or
the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in
which the other is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would
be able, in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures, to purchase
the relevant amount of such currency.

If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation
and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting
to the other when the obligation is ascertained.

Nothing in this Section 6(f) will be effective to create a charge or other
security interest. This Section 6(f) will be without prejudice and in addition
to any right of set-off, offset, combination of accounts, lien, right of
retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which any party is
at any time otherwise entitled or subject (whether by operation of law, contract
or otherwise).

7.    Transfer

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii) and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement
may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party
without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:-

(a)   a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

(b)   a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
Early Termination Amount payable to it by a Defaulting Party, together with any
amounts payable on or with respect to that interest and any other rights
associated with that interest pursuant to Sections 8, 9(h) and 11.

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 7 will be
void.

8.    Contractual Currency

(a)   Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement
will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that
payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law,
any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency
will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the
Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual
receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in good faith and using
commercially reasonable procedures in converting the currency so tendered into
the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all
amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in
the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the
Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to
make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately
pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to
compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual
Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in
respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly
the amount of such excess.

(b)   Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purpose of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures in converting the
currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual
Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually
received by such party.

(c)   Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
indemnities in this Section 8 constitute separate and independent obligations
from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate
and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence
granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by
judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable
in respect of this Agreement.

(d)   Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.

9.    Miscellaneous

(a)   Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. Each of the
parties acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement it has not relied on
any oral or written representation, warranty or other assurance (except as
provided for or referred to in this Agreement) and waives all rights and
remedies which might otherwise be available to it in respect thereof, except
that nothing in this Agreement will limit or exclude any liability of a party
for fraud.

(b)   Amendments. An amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will only be effective if in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic
messaging system.

(c)   Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.

(d)   Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

(e)   Counterparts and Confirmations.

      (i)   This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in
      respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
      facsimile transmission and by electronic messaging system), each of which
      will be deemed an original.

      (ii)  The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
      Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or
      otherwise). A Confirmation will be entered into as soon as practicable and
      may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile
      transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes, by an exchange of
      electronic messages on an electronic messaging system or by an exchange of
      e-mails, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to
      evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify
      therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart,
      telex, electronic message or e-mail constitutes a Confirmation.

(f)   No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will
not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(g)   Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

(h)   Interest and Compensation.

      (i)   Prior to Early Termination. Prior to the occurrence or effective
      designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant
      Transaction:-

            (1)   Interest on Defaulted Payments. If a party defaults in the
            performance of any payment obligation, it will, to the extent
            permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c), pay
            interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to
            the other party on demand in the same currency as the overdue
            amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date
            for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment (and
            excluding any period in respect of which interest or compensation in
            respect of the overdue amount is due pursuant to clause (3)(B) or
            (C) below), at the Default Rate.

            (2)   Compensation for Defaulted Deliveries. If a party defaults in
            the performance of any obligation required to be settled by
            delivery, it will on demand (A) compensate the other party to the
            extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in
            this Agreement and (B) unless otherwise provided in the relevant
            Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent permitted
            by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c), pay to the other
            party interest (before as well as after judgment) on an amount equal
            to the fair market value of that which was required to be delivered
            in the same currency as that amount, for the period from (and
            including) the originally scheduled date for delivery to (but
            excluding) the date of actual delivery (and excluding any period in
            respect of which interest or compensation in respect of that amount
            is due pursuant to clause (4) below), at the Default Rate. The fair
            market value of any obligation referred to above will be determined
            as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in good faith and
            using commercially reasonable procedures, by the party that was
            entitled to take delivery.

            (3)   Interest on Deferred Payments. If:-

                  (A)   a party does not pay any amount that, but for Section
                  2(a)(iii), would have been payable, it will, to the extent
                  permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c) and
                  clauses (B) and (C) below, pay interest (before as well as
                  after judgment) on that amount to the other party on demand
                  (after such amount becomes payable) in the same currency as
                  that amount, for the period from (and including) the date the
                  amount would, but for Section 2(a)(iii), have been payable to
                  (but excluding) the date the amount actually becomes payable,
                  at the Applicable Deferral Rate;

                  (B)   a payment is deferred pursuant to Section 5(d), the
                  party which would otherwise have been required to make that
                  payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
                  subject to Section 6(c) and for so long as no Event of Default
                  or Potential Event of Default with respect to that party has
                  occurred and is continuing, pay interest (before as well as
                  after judgment) on the amount of the deferred payment to the
                  other party on demand (after such amount becomes payable) in
                  the same currency as the deferred payment, for the period from
                  (and including) the date the amount would, but for Section
                  5(d), have been payable to (but excluding) the earlier of the
                  date the payment is no longer deferred pursuant to Section
                  5(d) and the date during the deferral period upon which an
                  Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to
                  that party occurs, at the Applicable Deferral Rate; or

                  (C)   a party fails to make any payment due to the occurrence
                  of an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event (after giving effect
                  to any deferral period contemplated by clause (B) above), it
                  will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subject to
                  Section 6(c) and for so long as the event or circumstance
                  giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event
                  continues and no Event of Default or Potential Event of
                  Default with respect to that party has occurred and is
                  continuing, pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on
                  the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same
                  currency as the overdue amount, for the period from (and
                  including) the date the party fails to make the payment due to
                  the occurrence of the relevant Illegality or Force Majeure
                  Event (or, if later, the date the payment is no longer
                  deferred pursuant to Section 5(d)) to (but excluding) the
                  earlier of the date the event or circumstance giving rise to
                  that Illegality or Force Majeure Event ceases to exist and the
                  date during the period upon which an Event of Default or
                  Potential Event of Default with respect to that party occurs
                  (and excluding any period in respect of which interest or
                  compensation in respect of the overdue amount is due pursuant
                  to clause (B) above), at the Applicable Deferral Rate.

            (4)   Compensation for Deferred Deliveries. If:-

                  (A)   a party does not perform any obligation that, but for
                  Section 2(a)(iii), would have been required to be settled by
                  delivery;

                  (B)   a delivery is deferred pursuant to Section 5(d); or

                  (C)   a party fails to make a delivery due to the occurrence
                  of an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event at a time when any
                  applicable Waiting Period has expired,

            the party required (or that would otherwise have been required) to
            make the delivery will, to the extent permitted by applicable law
            and subject to Section 6(c), compensate and pay interest to the
            other party on demand (after, in the case of clauses (A) and (B)
            above, such delivery is required) if and to the extent provided for
            in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

      (ii)  Early Termination. Upon the occurrence or effective designation of
      an Early Termination Date in respect of a Transaction:-

            (1)   Unpaid Amounts. For the purpose of determining an Unpaid
            Amount in respect of the relevant Transaction, and to the extent
            permitted by applicable law, interest will accrue on the amount of
            any payment obligation or the amount equal to the fair market value
            of any obligation required to be settled by delivery included in
            such determination in the same currency as that amount, for the
            period from (and including) the date the relevant obligation was (or
            would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii) or 5(d)) required to have
            been performed to (but excluding) the relevant Early Termination
            Date, at the Applicable Close-out Rate.

            (2)   Interest on Early Termination Amounts. If an Early Termination
            Amount is due in respect of such Early Termination Date, that amount
            will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be paid together
            with interest (before as well as after judgment) on that amount in
            the Termination Currency, for the period from (and including) such
            Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date the amount is
            paid, at the Applicable Close-out Rate.

      (iii) Interest Calculation. Any interest pursuant to this Section 9(h)
      will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number
      of days elapsed.

10.   Offices; Multibranch Parties

(a)   If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to and agrees with the other party that, notwithstanding the place of
booking or its jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation, its obligations
are the same in terms of recourse against it as if it had entered into the
Transaction through its head or home office, except that a party will not have
recourse to the head or home office of the other party in respect of any payment
or delivery deferred pursuant to Section 5(d) for so long as the payment or
delivery is so deferred. This representation and agreement will be deemed to be
repeated by each party on each date on which the parties enter into a
Transaction.

(b)   If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such party
may, subject to clause (c) below, enter into a Transaction through, book a
Transaction in and make and receive payments and deliveries with respect to a
Transaction through any Office listed in respect of that party in the Schedule
(but not any other Office unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing).

(c)   The Office through which a party enters into a Transaction will be the
Office specified for that party in the relevant Confirmation or as otherwise
agreed by the parties in writing, and, if an Office for that party is not
specified in the Confirmation or otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, its
head or home office. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the Office
through which a party enters into a Transaction will also be the Office in which
it books the Transaction and the Office through which it makes and receives
payments and deliveries with respect to the Transaction. Subject to Section
6(b)(ii), neither party may change the Office in which it books the Transaction
or the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with
respect to a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.

11.   Expenses

A Defaulting Party will on demand indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees,
execution fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the
enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the
early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of
collection.

12.   Notices

(a)   Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this
Agreement may be given in any manner described below (except that a notice or
other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by electronic
messaging system or e-mail) to the address or number or in accordance with the

      that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be
      met by a transmission report generated by the sender's facsimile machine);

      (iv)  if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or
      the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date it is delivered or

      or

      (vi)  if sent by e-mail, on the date it is delivered,

unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as
applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or
attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local
Business Day, in which case that communication will be deemed given and
effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.

(b)   Change of Details. Either party may by notice to the other change the

other relevant market data in the relevant market; or

internal sources (including any of the Determining Party's Affiliates) if that
information is of the same type used by the Determining Party in the regular
course of its business for the valuation of similar transactions.

The Determining Party will consider, taking into account the standards and
procedures described in this definition, quotations pursuant to clause (i) above
or relevant market data pursuant to clause (ii) above unless the Determining
Party reasonably believes in good faith that such quotations or relevant market
data are not readily available or would produce a result that would not satisfy
those standards. When considering information described in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, the Determining Party may include costs of funding, to the extent
costs of funding are not and would not be a component of the other information
being utilised. Third parties supplying quotations pursuant to clause (i) above
or market data pursuant to clause (ii) above may include, without limitation,
dealers in the relevant markets, end-users of the relevant product, information
vendors, brokers and other sources of market information.

Without duplication of amounts calculated based on information described in
clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, or other relevant information, and when it is
commercially reasonable to do so, the Determining Party may in addition consider
in calculating a Close-out Amount any loss or cost incurred in connection with

Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions (or any gain
resulting from any of them).

Commercially reasonable procedures used in determining a Close-out Amount may
include the following:-

(1)   application to relevant market data from third parties pursuant to clause
(ii) above or information from internal sources pursuant to clause (iii) above
of pricing or other valuation models that are, at the time of the determination
of the Close-out Amount, used by the Determining Party in the regular course of
its business in pricing or valuing transactions between the Determining Party
and unrelated third parties that are similar to the Terminated Transaction or
group of Terminated Transactions; and

groups of Terminated Transactions depending on the type, complexity, size or

            an optional termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to the PSA. For
            purposes of Section 6 of this Agreement, Party B shall be the sole
            Affected Party.

      (ii)  An amendment and/or supplement to the PSA is made without the prior
            written consent of Party A (such consent not to be unreasonably
            withheld), where consent of Party A is required under the PSA. For
            purposes of Section 6 of this Agreement, Party B shall be the sole
            Affected Party.

      (iii) Failure by Party A (following the expiration of all notice, grace
            and/or cure periods) to comply with its Regulation AB (as defined
            herein) requirements as set forth in Part 5(u) hereof. For purposes
            of Section 6 of this Agreement, Party A shall be the sole Affected
            Party.

(h)   Downgrade of Party A. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) shall occur
      and be continuing with respect to Party A, then Party A shall (A) within 5
      General Business Days of such Ratings Event, give notice to Party B of the
      occurrence of such Ratings Event, and (B) use reasonable efforts to
      transfer (at its own cost) Party A's rights and obligations under this
      Agreement and all Confirmations to another party, subject to satisfaction
      of the Rating Agency Condition (as defined below). Unless such a transfer
      by Party A has occurred within 20 General Business Days after the
      occurrence of a Ratings Event, Party A shall, after the occurrence of a
      Ratings Event, post Eligible Collateral (as designated in an approved
      Credit Support Annex), to secure Party B's exposure or potential exposure
      to Party A, and such Eligible Collateral shall be provided in accordance
      with a Credit Support Annex to be attached hereto and made a part hereof
      within 20 General Business Days after the occurrence of a Ratings Event.
      The Eligible Collateral to be posted and the Credit Support Annex to be
      executed and delivered shall be subject to the Rating Agency Condition.
      Notwithstanding the addition of the Credit Support Annex and the posting
      of Eligible Collateral, Party A shall continue to use reasonable efforts
      to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
      acceptable third party; provided, however, that Party A's obligations to
      find a transferee and to post Eligible Collateral under such Credit
      Support Annex shall remain in effect only for so long as a Ratings Event
      is continuing with respect to Party A. For the purpose of this Part 1(h),
      a "Ratings Event" shall occur with respect to Party A if the long-term and
      short-term senior unsecured deposit ratings of Party A cease to be at
      least A1 and P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor
      thereto ("Moody's") or at least A and F1 by Fitch, Inc. or any successor
      thereto ("Fitch"), to the extent such obligations are rated by Moody's or
      Fitch. "Rating Agency Condition" means, with respect to any action taken
      or to be taken, a condition that is satisfied when Moody's and Fitch have
      confirmed in writing that such action would not result in the downgrade,
      qualification (if applicable) or withdrawal of the rating then assigned by
      such Rating Agency to the applicable class of Certificates.

      In addition, if the long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of
      Party A by Moody's is rated A3 or below, or the short-term senior
      unsecured debt rating of Party A by Moody's is rated P-2 or below, then
      Party A shall (at its own cost) (A) within 10 General Business Days of
      such event use reasonable efforts to transfer Party A's rights and
      obligations under this Agreement to another party, subject to satisfaction
      of the Rating Agency Condition or (B) obtain a guaranty or contingent
      agreement of another person, which has the ratings set forth in the
      definition of "Ratings Event" to honor Party A's obligations under this
      Agreement, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

      The failure by Party A to post Eligible Collateral in accordance herewith
      or to transfer its rights and obligations hereunder shall constitute an
      Additional Termination Event for which Party A shall be the sole Affected
      Party.

      (the "Code"), or any person who is acting on behalf of such an employee
      benefit plan or plan (collectively, a "Plan") in connection with any
      Transaction under this Agreement or (y) any Plan that purchases a
      certificate issued by Party B while this Agreement is in effect (i) shall

(o)   Transfer. Party A may assign its rights and obligations under this
      Agreement to any entity so long as the Rating Agency Condition is
      satisfied.

(p)   Non-Petition. Party A hereby agrees that it will not, prior to the date

      defined in the PSA) issued by Party B pursuant to the PSA have been paid
      in full, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause Party B to
      invoke the process of any court or governmental authority for the purpose
      of commencing or sustaining a case against Party B under any federal or
      state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or for the purpose of
      appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
      sequestrator or other similar official for Party B or any substantial part
      of the property of Party B, or for the purpose of ordering the winding up
      or liquidation of the affairs of Party B. Nothing herein shall prevent
      Party A from participating in any such proceeding once commenced.

      limited recourse obligations of Party B, payable solely from the Trust
      Fund (as such term is defined in the PSA), subject to and in accordance
      with the terms of the PSA, and, following realization of the Trust Fund,
      any claims of Party A against Party B shall be extinguished. It is

      priority of payments set forth in the PSA) or (ii) constitute a waiver,
      release or discharge of any obligation of Party B arising under this
      Agreement until the proceeds of the Trust Fund have been realized and the

      obligation of Party B under this Agreement shall be extinguished.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing (or anything to the contrary in this
      Agreement), Party B shall be liable for its own fraud, negligence, willful
      misconduct and/or bad faith.

      delivered by it not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee under
      (and as defined in) the PSA referred to in this Agreement, in the exercise
      of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it thereunder, and
      pursuant to instructions set forth therein (ii) each of the
      representations, undertakings and other agreements herein made on behalf
      of Party B is made and intended not as a personal representation,
      undertaking or agreement of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., but is made and

      no circumstances shall Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity,
      be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses or be

      representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made or undertaken
      by it on behalf of Party B under this Agreement or any Confirmation
      hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing (or anything to the contrary in
      this Agreement), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. shall be liable for its own fraud,
      negligence, willful misconduct and/or bad faith.

represents that this Agreement is a derivative instrument as described in Item

depending on the applicable "significance percentage" of this Agreement, as
calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB (as
discussed in the PSA). Party A has been advised by the Sponsor (as defined in
the PSA) that the applicable "significance percentage" of this Agreement is less
than 10% as of the date of initial issuance of the Certificates and accordingly,
no financial information regarding Party A need be disclosed in accordance with
Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

(c) If required, Party A shall provide to the Trustee the applicable financial
information described under Item 1115(b)(1) or (b)(2), as applicable, of

certified public accountants with respect thereto (if necessary) (the "Reg AB
Information") within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a written request for
such Reg AB Information by the Trustee or the Depositor (the "Response Period"),
so long as the Sponsor has reasonably determined, in good faith, that such
information is required under Regulation AB; provided, however, that if Party A
is unable to provide the Reg AB Information within the Response Period, then
Party A shall, at its option, either (i) cause a Reg AB Approved Entity (as
defined below) to replace Party A as party to this Agreement on terms
substantially similar to this Agreement and provide the required Reg AB
Information (along with indemnity to the Depositor covering such required Reg AB
Information) prior to the expiration of the Response Period or (ii) subject to
the Rating Agency Condition, obtain a guarantee from an affiliate that is a Reg
AB Approved Entity and cause such affiliate to provide the required Reg AB
Information prior to the expiration of the Response Period.

(d) "Reg AB Approved Entity" means any entity that (i) has the ability to
provide the Reg AB Information and (ii) meets or exceeds the Approved Rating
Thresholds (as defined below). If Party B requests (in writing) the Reg AB
Information from Party A, then Party B shall promptly (and in any event within
two (2) Business Days of the date of the request for the Reg AB Information)
provide Party A with a written explanation of how the significance percentage
was calculated.

(e) "Approved Rating Thresholds" means an entity that has a long-term and
short-term senior unsecured deposit rating of at least AA- and F1 by Fitch, to

                              SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT

        AGREEMENT made this _____ day of __________, 200__ between SLM Holdings,

                WHEREAS,  SLM  owns  and  operates  its  proprietary   "Broker's
E-Vantage" sales lead management  system and related software and  documentation
accessible by its customers via the Internet (the "System");

                WHEREAS,  Subscriber  desires  to  contract  with  SLM,  and SLM
desires to provide  Subscriber with the use of and access to the System upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein;

                NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

        1.      SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein,  SLM agrees to provide  Subscriber  with a  non-exclusive  limited
license  to use and  access  the  System.  The  System  presently  provides  the
functions described on Schedule "A" annexed hereto and may be modified from time
to time by SLM, at SLM's sole and exclusive discretion.

        2.      CHARGES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. In consideration of the use of and
access to the System,  Subscriber agrees to pay SLM the license fees and charges
as set forth on Schedule B annexed  hereto.  In  addition,  Subscriber  shall be
responsible  for payment of all Federal,  state,  and local taxes, if any, other
than  taxes  assessed  against  SLM's  income,  and  for  telecommunication  and
connectivity  charges relating to Subscriber's use and access of the System, and
related equipment at Subscriber's premises. Invoices for Subscriber's use of and
access to the  System  shall be  calculated  in  accordance  with the  scheduled
charges and shall be rendered monthly.  Payment by Subscriber of applicable fees
and charges will be due upon  issuance of the invoice for such fees and charges.
Additional  fees,  charges  and other  terms may  apply in  connection  with the
provision  of new products or services  offered by SLM,  which shall be mutually
agreed upon by the parties hereto.

        3.      SUBSCRIBER  DATA. In  connection  with  Subscriber's  use of the
System,  the parties  acknowledge that SLM will collect from Subscriber  certain
data and  information  and  maintain  that data on its  database  (the  "Data").
SUBJECT  TO  SECTION  11(D)  BELOW,  ALL DATA AND  RIGHTS  THEREIN  SHALL BE THE
EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF SUBSCRIBER.

        4.      ACCOUNT NUMBERS, USER I.D. CODES AND PASSWORDS.  Subscriber will
be assigned an account number to be used for billing purposes. User ID codes and
associated   passwords  will  be  assigned  to  Subscriber  and/or  Subscriber's
employees who  Subscriber  notifies SLM in writing are  authorized to access the
System.  Subscriber  and its  employees  may gain  on-line  access,  via  secure
point-to-point  connections,  to the System by utilizing their User ID codes and
passwords.  If an  authorized  user  ("User")

User's employment or for any other reason,  Subscriber shall (i) promptly notify
SLM of such  termination;  and (ii) terminate such  employee's  User ID code and
password.  SLM shall not be  responsible  for access to and/or  reports  ordered

passwords may be changed in the sole discretion of SLM at any time.

        5.      CERTIFICATION  BY SUBSCRIBER.  Subscriber  expressly  agrees and
acknowledges the following:

                (a)     In using  any  data,  information,  content  or  reports

expressly assumes all risks, known and unknown, relating thereto.

                (b)     Subscriber will utilize all data,  information,  content
and  reports  provided by SLM  hereunder  solely in  connection  with its lawful
operations (including, without limitation, e-mail usage) and will not request or
use such  information for any purpose which may be prohibited by applicable law,
rule or  regulation.  All such  information  shall be utilized and maintained by
Subscriber  in such  manner as may be  required  by  applicable  laws,  rules or
regulations.

other  equipment  used to access the System will be operated  only by authorized
employees of  Subscriber  who have received  sufficient  training in the use and
operation  thereof  and who are aware of the  limitations  and other  provisions
contained  in this  Agreement.  Subscriber  agrees  to (i) take  all  reasonable
measures to prevent unauthorized use of such terminal(s) or equipment and access
to the System by any person other than authorized and designated operators,  and
(ii) to establish,  and enforce  policies whereby its employees are forbidden to
access the System except as provided for herein.

                (D)     SLM SHALL, IN ITS FULLEST  CAPACITY  PROTECT ANY AND ALL
PROPRIETARY  DATA TO BE "HOUSED" ON THE SYSTEM BY THE SUBSCRIBER.  SLM SHALL NOT

DATABASE BE  EFFECTED OR  COMPROMISED  DURING ANY OF THESE  REQUIRED  PLANNED OR
UNPLANNED MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES.

                (e)     The System and all proprietary  rights and  intellectual
property  rights  relating to the System are the sole and exclusive  property of
SLM, and Subscriber shall have no claim relating thereto.  Subscriber  expressly
acknowledges  and agrees that SLM is and shall remain the exclusive owner of the

secrets  therein and  associated  therewith,  and as may be associated  with any
other  business owned or operated by SLM or its  principals  (collectively,  the
"SLM Intellectual Property").

regulation.

                (b)     Subscriber  shall make no claim nor assert any  interest
or right in the SLM Intellectual Property.

        8.      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                (a)     Each  party  undertakes  to  retain  in  confidence  the
non-public  terms of this  Agreement and all other  non-public  information  and
know-how  disclosed  pursuant to this  Agreement  which is either  designated as
proprietary  and/or  confidential or by nature of the circumstances  surrounding
disclosure,   ought  in  good  faith  to  be  treated  as   proprietary   and/or
confidential,  and all copies thereof and notes relating thereto  ("Confidential
Information");  provided, however, that each party hereto may disclose the terms
and  conditions  of  this  Agreement  to  its  immediate   legal  and  financial
consultants.   The  term   "Confidential   Information"  does  not  include  any
information  which (i) at the time of  disclosure  or  thereafter  is  generally
available  to the public  (other  than as a result of a  disclosure  directly or
indirectly by a party or its  representatives  in violation of this  Agreement),
(ii) is or  becomes  available  to a party on a  non-confidential  basis  from a
source other than the other party or its representatives,  provided that, to the
receiving party's knowledge, such source was not prohibited from disclosing such
information  to such  receiving  party  by a  legal,  contractual  or  fiduciary
obligation  owed to the  other  party,  (iii)  was in a  party's  possession  or
knowledge prior to its being furnished by or on behalf of the party,  prohibited
from  disclosing  such  information  to such  party by a legal,  contractual  or
fiduciary obligation owed to the other party, (iv) is developed by the receiving
party  independently of any disclosure of such  Confidential  Information by the
disclosing party; or (v) whose disclosure is required by applicable law, rule or
regulation.  Each party  agrees not to disclose the other  party's  Confidential
Information  to any  third  party  without  the  prior  written  consent  of the
disclosing party. A party's  disclosure of Confidential  Information as required
by government or judicial  order is not prohibited by this  Agreement,  provided
that the disclosing  party gives the other party prompt notice of such order and
assists in the  procurement  of  appropriate  protective  order (or  equivalent)
imposed on such disclosure. Nothing contained herein limits either party's right
to  develop  products  independently  without  the  use  of  the  other  party's
Confidential  Information.  Except  as  may  otherwise  be  specified  in a duly
countersigned  rider or amendment  hereto,  to the extent not inconsistent  with
this  Section  8, the  terms of any  non-disclosure  agreement(s)  entered  into
between the parties prior to this Agreement  expressly  survive the execution of
this Agreement and are deemed incorporated herein by reference.

                (b)     Each  party  agrees  that money  damages  would not be a
sufficient  remedy for any breach or  threatened  breach of this Section 8 by it
and that the other party shall be entitled to  equitable  relief,  including  an
injunction  and  specific  performance,  in the  event  of any  such  breach  or
threatened  breach,  in addition to all other  remedies  available  at law or in
equity  without the  necessity of posting any bond or other  security or proving
that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy.  Such remedies shall not be
deemed to be the exclusive  remedies for a breach of this Agreement but shall be
in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

successors and assigns, from and against any and all actions,  causes of action,
claims, demands, costs,  liabilities,  expenses and damages (including,  without

("Indemnified   Party"),   it  will  give   notice  to  the  party   from  which
indemnification is requested  ("Indemnifying  Party") promptly after the receipt
of any claim that may be  identifiable  hereunder  and  afford the  Indemnifying
Party the  opportunity  to control  the  defense  and  approve  any  compromise,
settlement,  litigation or other  resolution or other  disposition of such claim
except  that the  Indemnifying  Party will have  reasonable  approval  as to any
settlement,  and if the  Indemnifying  Party  unreasonably  fails to approve any
settlement, it will be responsible for any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
costs and expenses  (including without limitation  reasonable outside attorneys'

and shall provide the  Indemnifying  Party with such reasonable  cooperation and
assistance as may be required in the defense of any such claim.
