ASSIGNMENT; RIGHTS IN FURTHERANCE OF SUBROGATION

(a) In consideration for the issuance of each Insurance Policy, each of Triple-A, Merrill and the Liquidity Agent, on behalf of the Liquidity Banks (collectively, the “Insured Parties” and each an “Insured Party”) hereby agrees that if a payment is made to such Insured Party under an Insurance Policy, such Insured Party shall, on the Payout Date for such Insured Party, respectively, transfer, assign, and convey to MBIA all of its respective right, title and interest in the following:
(i) the Receivables Purchase Agreement;
(ii) the Purchased Assets and all other rights and interests in property created in favor of such Insured Party pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement;
(iii) all UCC Financing Statements filed against the Seller and the Originator in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement;
(iv) all other Facility Documents; and
(v) all other documents, instruments, agreements and property relating to the foregoing;
6
and, in addition, the Liquidity Agent, on behalf of the Liquidity Banks, shall, on the Payout Date for the Liquidity Agent, assign to MBIA all right, title and interest in and to the Advances made under and as defined in the Liquidity Agreement (collectively, all of the foregoing property and interests in property being, the “Assigned Assets”) (the obligations of the Insured Parties to transfer, assign, and convey the Assigned Assets are herein collectively referred to as the “Assignment Obligation”). Each Insured Party agrees that the transfer, assignment and conveyance of its interest in the Assigned Assets shall become effective automatically on the applicable Payout Date, without any further act by MBIA or such Insured Party or the Managing Agents; provided, however, that MBIA may request any Insured Party to execute and deliver to MBIA, on or after the applicable Payout Date, an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto. The Insured Parties further agree that any payments made by MBIA under the Insurance Policies or under Section 3.02 hereof will not be deemed to discharge the Seller of its obligation to pay such amounts and will therefore not be deemed to reduce the Capital, Yield or any other amount payable by the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 3.02 Option to Purchase.
(a) Each Insured Party hereby grants to MBIA an option (each, an “Option”), in lieu of making a payment to such Insured Party under the applicable Insurance Policy, to purchase, at any time after the presentation of a Notice for Payment by or on behalf of such Insured Party, all of such Insured Party’s respective right and title to, and interest in the Assigned Assets, at the applicable Option Price owed to such Insured Party. Payments made by MBIA of the Option Price shall be made in immediately available funds to the applicable Insured Party by 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the second day next succeeding the date of receipt of a Notice for Payment, and all calculations of amounts of the Capital, Yield, and all other amounts then accrued and unpaid or otherwise outstanding under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be made as of such day. Each of the Options is irrevocable by any Insured Party for so long as MBIA has any liability under any Insurance Policy. MBIA may exercise any of the Options by telephonic notice confirmed in writing by MBIA to the applicable Insured Party immediately thereafter.
(b) Any purchase pursuant to the exercise of any of the Options hereunder will be without recourse to any Insured Party other than for a breach by such Insured Party of a representation that all its right, title, and interest in and to such Assigned Assets have passed to MBIA free and clear of any Adverse Claim created by or arising as a result of actions by such Insured Party.
(c) Simultaneously with the payment of the Option Price, the applicable Insured Party will deliver an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto to MBIA as evidence of the Assigned Assets sold pursuant to such Option.

(a) In accordance with Section 6.11(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, MBIA shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Seller for any payment made under any Insurance Policy or for any payment made under Section 3.02 hereof, which reimbursement shall be payable to MBIA on the date that any amount is to be paid pursuant to a Notice for Payment. Such reimbursement shall be made in an amount (the “Repayment Amount”) equal to (i) the sum of the amount paid or to be paid under any Insurance Policy or under Section 3.02 hereof and all such amounts previously paid by MBIA that remain unreimbursed plus (ii) interest on any and all amounts remaining unreimbursed (to the extent permitted by law, if in respect of any unpaid amounts representing interest) from the date such amounts became due until paid in full (after as well as before judgment), at a rate of interest equal to the Base Rate plus two percent (2.0%). Such reimbursement shall be subject to the priority of payments set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement as set forth therein.
(b) The interests, rights, and remedies of MBIA described in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03(a) and 5.01 and of this Insurance Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, MBIA’s equitable rights of subrogation, and MBIA reserves all of such rights. Each of the Insured Parties and the Collateral Agent agrees to take, or cause to be taken, all actions deemed desirable by MBIA to preserve, enforce, perfect, or maintain the perfection in MBIA’s favor of such interests, rights, and remedies and such equitable rights of subrogation. Each of the Insured Parties and the Collateral Agent agrees to promptly and duly take, execute, acknowledge, and deliver such further acts, documents, instruments and assurances as MBIA may from time to time reasonably request to more effectively evidence any assignments under Section 3.01 or 3.02, respectively, and to perfect all of MBIA’s other rights as against the Seller.
SECTION 3.04 No Recourse. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Insurance Agreement against any shareholder, employee, officer, director, or incorporator of any Insured Party except for any claim arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such shareholder, employee, officer, director, or incorporator of such Insured Party.

execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, termination, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Insurance Agreement, each of the other Facility Documents to which it is a party, and any other agreement related to the foregoing (including, without limitation, any initial and ongoing audit expenses of MBIA incurred in connection with this transaction), and each Agent agrees to pay over to MBIA any amounts received by it under the Receivables Purchase Agreement in respect of any such demand for payment by MBIA. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Seller agrees that in the event that MBIA seeks to enforce any of its rights under the Facility Documents against the Seller, and Triple-A agrees that in the event that MBIA seeks to enforce any of its rights hereunder against Triple-A, then, in either such event, the Seller or Triple-A, as applicable, shall remit to MBIA, after written demand therefor, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and disbursements, including attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by MBIA in connection with the enforcement of such rights. The reimbursement provisions of this Section 5.04 will survive the termination of this Insurance Agreement.
SECTION 5.05 No Proceedings. Each of MBIA, the Seller, the Insured Parties and each Agent hereby agrees (which agreement shall, pursuant to the terms of this Insurance Agreement, be binding upon its successors and assigns) that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Triple-A any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after payment in full of the latest maturing Commercial Paper Notes or other rated indebtedness issued by it (whether or not issued to fund Receivables Purchases or the maintenance of Capital under the Receivables Purchase Agreement).
SECTION 5.06 Litigation. Each Insured Party and each Agent (but without duplication) shall (i) provide written notice to the Controlling Beneficiary immediately upon obtaining actual knowledge of the commencement of any judicial proceeding (including, without limitation, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, and other such proceedings) which relates to, or arises in connection with, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Purchased Assets or the Transferred Assets (each, a “Relevant Proceeding”); (ii) consult with the Controlling Beneficiary with respect to, and permit the Controlling Beneficiary to participate in, any discussions and decisions relating to any such Relevant Proceeding with a view towards minimizing the potentially adverse effect that such Relevant Proceeding may have on the Controlling Beneficiary’s interest in the Transferred Assets, the Purchased Assets or the Receivables Purchase Agreement and (iii) not agree to any settlement of any such Relevant Proceeding without the Controlling Beneficiary’s prior written consent. The Controlling Beneficiary may elect at any time after receipt of the notice described in the first sentence of this Section 5.06, to assume responsibility for and control over the Relevant Proceeding. Such election shall be made by delivery to the Insured Parties and the Collateral Agent of a written notice thereof, signed by the Controlling Beneficiary, which notice shall contain the Controlling Beneficiary’s agreement to assume responsibility for, and not seek reimbursement from any Insured Party or Agent for, any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses accrued only after the date the Controlling Beneficiary assumed control over such Relevant Proceeding) that may be incurred by the Controlling Beneficiary in connection with such Relevant Proceeding.
SECTION 5.07 Indemnification. In addition to any and all rights of reimbursement, subrogation or any other rights pursuant hereto or under law or equity, and without limiting any reimbursement, subrogation or indemnification right of MBIA under any other Facility
14
Document, the Seller hereby agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold MBIA and its affiliates and the officers, directors, employees of MBIA or any such affiliates (each an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all out-of-pocket liabilities (including penalties), obligations, losses, damages, actions, suits, demands, claims, judgments, taxes, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that arise out of or in any way relate to or result from or out of (a) the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents or (b) any investigation or defense of, or participation in, any legal proceeding relating to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of the Facility Documents (whether or not such Indemnitee is a party thereto) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee. Any payments required to be made by the Seller under this section shall be due upon demand. The indemnity provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Insurance Agreement.
SECTION 6.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of this Insurance Agreement, or any consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless in writing and signed by each of MBIA, Triple-A, Merrill, the Collateral Agent and the Liquidity Agent; provided that, (i) any amendment, waiver or modification of Sections 4.01, 4.02, 5.04 or 5.07, insofar as such Sections impose no duties nor confer any rights on the Liquidity Agent or the Liquidity Banks nor any rights or obligations of any other party with respect thereto, or any consent to any departure therefrom, may be effective without the consent of the Liquidity Agent; (ii) any amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of Section 3.03(a) or of Sections 5.04, 5.05, 5.07 or of this Article VI insofar as such sections affect the Seller shall require the prior written consent of the Seller; and (iii) in any event, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver. No amendment to this Insurance Agreement or the Triple-A Insurance Policy or the Liquidity Insurance Policy shall in any event be effective until S&P and Moody’s confirm that such amendment would not cause the then current rating assigned to the Commercial Paper Notes to be reduced or withdrawn.
SECTION 6.02 Notices. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests, and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (and if sent by mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested) or facsimile transmission and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or three business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of facsimile transmission, when sent, addressed as follows:

SECTION 6.03 Payments. All payments to MBIA hereunder shall be made in lawful currency of the United States and in immediately available funds and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date such payment is due by wire transfer to such office or account as MBIA may direct from time to time. Payments received by MBIA after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment.
16
Whenever any payment under this Insurance Agreement shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment.
SECTION 6.04 No Waiver: Remedies and Severability. No failure on the part of MBIA or the Controlling Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided elsewhere or by law. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the parties hereto and hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable will not affect in any way the ability of such parties to pursue any other remedy available to them. In the event any provision of this Insurance Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any other provisions of this Insurance Agreement.
SECTION 6.05 Assignment, Etc. This Insurance Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto (including the Liquidity Agent on behalf of the Liquidity Banks) and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Purchaser or Managing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall sell, assign or transfer to any Person (other than to MBIA pursuant to the terms of this Insurance Agreement, or the assignment by Triple-A contemplated pursuant to the terms of the Liquidity Security Agreement), or otherwise dispose of, at any time, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the Facility Documents, or any of its interests herein or therein, unless the assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Insurance Agreement and such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition otherwise complies with the requirements and restrictions set forth therefor in the applicable Facility Documents and any restrictions under applicable law.
SECTION 6.06 Participations, Etc. (a) MBIA shall have the right to grant participations in its rights under this Agreement and to enter into contracts of reinsurance with respect to the Insurance Policies upon such terms and conditions as MBIA may in its discretion determine; provided, however, that no such participation or reinsurance agreement or arrangement shall relieve MBIA of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Insurance Policies and no such reinsurer or participant may have any direct rights against the other parties hereto and that no Insured Party will have any obligation to communicate or have any relationship whatsoever with any reinsurer or participant in order to enforce the obligations of MBIA under the Insurance Policies.
(b) In addition, MBIA shall be entitled to assign or pledge to any bank or other lender providing liquidity or credit with respect to the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the obligations of MBIA in connection therewith, any rights of MBIA under the Facility Documents, any real or personal property or other interests pledged to MBIA, or in which MBIA has a security interest, in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(c) Except as provided herein with respect to participants and reinsurers and in Section 6.05 with respect to assignees, nothing in this
17
Agreement shall confer any right, remedy or claim, express or implied, upon any Person, other than the parties hereto, and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto.
SECTION 6.07 Termination of this Insurance Agreement and the Insurance Policies; Continuing Obligations. This Insurance Agreement shall create and constitute continuing obligations of the Seller and the other parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and such obligations will terminate on the date which occurs after the termination of the Insurance Policies when MBIA has recovered all of the payments it has made, if any, under the Insurance Policies or pursuant to Section 3.02. Any termination of this Insurance Agreement will be effective only upon the delivery to MBIA of the Insurance Policies, whereupon the Insurance Policies will be cancelled and MBIA’s liability thereunder will cease except as specified therein with respect to Preference Amounts.
SECTION 6.08 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INSURANCE AGREEMENT IS TO BE CONSTRUED, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER ARE TO BE DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 6.09 No Recourse. Anything contained in this Insurance Agreement or any other Facility Document to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments to be made by Triple-A under this Insurance Agreement shall be made by Triple-A solely from available cash, which shall be limited to the (a) proceeds of collections and other amounts payable by or on behalf of the Seller to Triple-A in connection with any of the Facility Documents and (b) drawings made by Triple-A under the Triple-A Insurance Policy (collectively “Available Funds”). No recourse shall be had against Triple-A personally or against any incorporator, shareholder, officer, director or employee of Triple-A with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, representations or warranties of Triple-A contained in this Insurance Agreement, or any other Facility Document, it being understood that such covenants, representations or warranties are enforceable only against Available Funds. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Insurance Agreement. The parties to this Insurance Agreement hereby acknowledge that, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Insurance Agreement and the other Facility Documents, Triple-A is or may be required, from time to time, to make certain payments to such parties, either as compensation for services rendered, reimbursement for out of pocket expenses, indemnification, or otherwise, as set forth herein and therein. Such parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of any Facility Document, (i) Triple-A shall not make any such payment to any such party, (ii) Triple-A shall have no duty, liability or obligation to make any such payment to any such party, (iii) no such payment shall be due from Triple-A and (iv) no such party shall have any right to enforce any claim against Triple-A in respect of any such payment, in each case at any time that any Commercial Paper Note is outstanding and no Insolvency Event (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, and in each case unless and except to the extent that (x) the making of such payment by Triple-A would not render Triple-A insolvent and (y) Triple-A has received Available Funds with respect to such obligations which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to pay Commercial Paper Notes when due; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit a drawing on the Liquidity Insurance Policy by the Liquidity Agent. As used in this Section the term “Insolvency Event” shall mean the entry against Triple-A of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
18
appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against Triple-A, either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days or an order for relief as described below has been entered, or the consent by Triple-A to or the entry of an order for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, order of relief, marshalling of assets and liabilities of or relating to Triple-A or the filing by Triple-A of a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute.
SECTION 6.10 Counterparts. This Insurance Agreement may be executed in counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart will be considered an original and all such counterparts will constitute one and the same instrument.
SECTION 6.11 Section Headings, Etc. The headings of sections, paragraphs and clauses contained in this Insurance Agreement are provided for convenience only. They form no part of this Insurance Agreement and do not and will not affect its construction or interpretation.
SECTION 6.12 Reference to and Effect upon Prior Insurance Agreement.
(a) From and after the Effective Date, (i) the terms and provisions of this Insurance Agreement shall amend and supersede the terms and provisions of the Prior Insurance Agreement and (ii) all references in any other Facility Documents to the Insurance Agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Insurance Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the execution and delivery of this Insurance Agreement is not intended to be, and shall not be construed as, a novation of the Prior Insurance Agreement. Each of the parties hereto (other ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) ratifies the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made in the Prior Insurance Agreement, and each of the parties hereto agrees that such agreement is, as of the date hereof, in full force and effect except to the extent expressly modified hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that CapMAC shall retain all rights of reimbursement, subrogation and indemnification under the Prior Insurance Agreement and each Swap Bond until such Swap Bond shall be terminated by the issuance by MBIA of a swap insurance policy in replacement thereof.
(b) Each of Triple-A and the Liquidity Agent on behalf of the Liquidity Banks hereby agrees that, upon receipt by such Person of the Triple-A Insurance Policy and the Liquidity Insurance Policy, respectively, (i) the Surety Bond issued by CapMAC under the Prior Insurance Agreement for the benefit of such Person and all obligations of CapMAC thereunder will be immediately terminated without further action on the part of such Person or of CapMAC and (ii) such Person shall promptly return all originals of such Surety Bond to CapMAC or to MBIA.
19
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Insurance Agreement, all as of the day and year first above mentioned.
