Assured Guaranty Corp., a Maryland-domiciled insurance company (“Assured Guaranty”), in consideration of the payment of the premium and on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Policy (which includes each endorsement hereto), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Insured Obligations, that portion of the Insured Amounts which shall become Due for Payment during the Term of the Policy but shall be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the endorsement attached hereto.
 
Assured Guaranty will make payment of any amount required to be paid under this Policy following receipt of notice as described in the endorsement attached hereto. Such payments of principal and interest shall be made only upon presentation of an instrument of assignment in form and substance satisfactory to Assured Guaranty, transferring to Assured Guaranty all rights under such Insured Obligations to receive the principal of and interest on the Insured Obligations, to the extent of such payments of principal and interest. Payment by Assured Guaranty to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders shall discharge the obligations of Assured Guaranty under this Policy to the extent of such payment.
 
In the event that the Trustee for the Insured Obligations has notice that any payment of principal of or interest in an Insured Obligation which has become Due for Payment and which has been made to a Holder by or on behalf of the Trustee has been deemed a preferential transfer and has been recovered from such Holder pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, such Holder will be entitled to payment from Assured Guaranty to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available (in accordance with the endorsement attached hereto).
 
This Policy is non-cancelable for any reason. The premium on this Policy is not refundable for any reason. This Policy does not insure against loss of any prepayment premium or other acceleration payment which at any time may become due in respect of any Insured Obligation, other than at the sole option of Assured Guaranty, nor against any risk other than Nonpayment, including the failure of the Trustee to remit amounts received to the Holders of Insured Obligations and any shortfalls attributable to withholding or other taxes, including interest and penalties in respect of such liability.
 
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Assured Guaranty hereby waives, in each case for the benefit of the Holders only, all rights and defenses of any kind (including, without limitation, the defense of fraud in the inducement or in fact or any other circumstance that would have the effect of discharging a surety, guarantor or any other Person in law or in equity) that may be available to Assured Guaranty to deny or avoid payment of its obligations under this Policy in accordance with the express provisions hereof.  Nothing in this paragraph will be construed (i) to waive, limit or otherwise impair, and Assured Guaranty expressly reserves, Assured Guaranty’s rights and remedies, including, without limitation: its right to assert any claim or to pursue recoveries (based on contractual rights, securities law violations, fraud or other causes of action) against any Person or entity, in each case, whether directly or acquired as a subrogee, assignee or otherwise, subsequent to making any payment to the Beneficiary in accordance with the express provisions hereof, and/or (ii) to require payment by Assured Guaranty of any amounts that have been previously paid or that are not otherwise due in accordance with the express provisions of this Policy. Assured Guaranty does not waive its rights to seek payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to the Operative Documents.
 
This Policy (which includes each endorsement hereto) sets forth in full the undertaking of Assured Guaranty with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified, altered or affected by any other agreement or instrument, including, without limitation, any modification thereto or amendment thereof.
 
This Policy shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
 
THIS POLICY IS NOT COVERED BY THE PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE SECURITY FUND SPECIFIED IN ARTICLE 76 OF THE NEW YORK INSURANCE LAW.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Assured Guaranty has caused this Policy to be affixed with its corporate seal, to be signed by its duly authorized officer and to become effective and binding upon Assured Guaranty by virtue of such signature.

SECTION 2.  Claims
 
The Beneficiary may make a claim under the Policy for the amount of any Deficiency Amount by executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to the Insurer a Notice of Claim, with appropriate insertions. Such Notice of Claim, when so completed and delivered, shall constitute proof of a claim under the Policy when Received by the Insurer.
 
In the event that any amount shall be received by the Beneficiary in respect of a Deficiency Amount forming the basis of a claim specified in a Notice of Claim submitted under the Policy, which amount had not been received when the Notice of Claim was prepared but which is received by the Beneficiary prior to the receipt of payment from the Insurer as contemplated by the Policy (any such amount, a “Recovery”), the Beneficiary immediately shall so notify the Insurer (which notice shall include the amount of any such Recovery). The fact that a Recovery has been received by the Beneficiary shall be deemed to be incorporated in the applicable Notice of Claim as of the date such Notice of Claim originally was prepared, without necessity of any action on the part of any Person, and the Insurer shall pay the amount of the claim specified in the Notice of Claim as herein provided, net of the Recovery.
 
The Insurer will pay each Insured Amount that constitutes a Deficiency Amount to the Beneficiary no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the later of (i) the Distribution Date on which such Deficiency Amount becomes Due for Payment or (ii) the second Business Day following Receipt by the Insurer on a Business Day of a Notice of Claim as specified in the second preceding paragraph.
 
The Insurer will pay each Insured Amount that constitutes a Preference Amount on the later of (i) the date on which such Preference Amount is due to be paid pursuant to an applicable Order or (ii) the fourth Business Day following Receipt by the Insurer from the Beneficiary of (a) a certified copy of such Order, (b) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Insurer that such Order is final and not subject to appeal, (c) an assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Insurer, duly executed and delivered by the Beneficiary, irrevocably assigning to the Insurer all rights and claims of the Beneficiary against the estate of the Issuer or otherwise, which rights and claims relate to or arise under or with respect to the subject Preference Amount, and (d) a Notice of Claim appropriately completed and executed by the Beneficiary. Such payment shall be disbursed to the court, receiver, conservator, administrator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order, and not to the Beneficiary directly, unless the Beneficiary has previously paid the Preference Amount over to such court, receiver, conservator, administrator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer will pay the Beneficiary subject to the delivery of (1) the items referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above to the Insurer, and (2) evidence satisfactory to the Insurer that payment has been made to such court, receiver, conservator, administrator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the related Order.  The Insurer shall not be obligated to make any payment in respect of any Preference Amount representing a payment of principal on the Notes prior to the time the Insurer would have been required to make a payment in respect of principal pursuant to the Policy.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in no event shall the Insurer be obligated to make any payment in respect of a Preference Amount prior to the date the Insured Amount related to such Preference Amount is Due for Payment. In the event that the payment of any amount in respect of any Insured Amount is accelerated or must otherwise be paid by the Issuer in advance of the scheduled Distribution Date therefor, nothing in the Policy shall be deemed to require the Insurer to make any payment under the Policy in respect of any such Insured Amount prior to the date such Insured Amount otherwise would have been Due for Payment without giving effect to such acceleration, unless the Insurer in its sole discretion elects to make any prior payment, in whole or in part, with respect to any such Insured Amount.
 
Policy No.:  D-2007-149
Page 4 of 9

No claim may be made hereunder except by the Beneficiary.
 
The Policy does not cover any shortfalls attributable to the application of the Net Rate Cap, any Net Rate Carryover, any Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, any interest shortfalls resulting from Deferred Interest or any shortfalls resulting from the application of the Relief Act or any shortfall attributable to any taxes, withholding or other charges imposed by any governmental authority (including interest and penalties in respect of such liabilities) nor does the Policy guarantee to the Holders of the Insured Obliations any particular rate of principal payment.
 
SECTION 3.  Payments
 
Payments due under the Policy in respect of Insured Amounts shall be disbursed to the Beneficiary (or in the case of a Preference Amount, to the court, receiver, conservator, administrator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order as set forth in Section 2 above or, if the Beneficiary has previously paid the Preference Amount over to such parties, to the Beneficiary) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Beneficiary specified in the applicable Notice of Claim.
 
The Insurer’s obligations under the Policy in respect of Insured Amounts shall be discharged to the extent that funds are transferred to the Beneficiary (or in the case of a Preference Amount, to the court, receiver, conservator, administrator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order as set forth in Section 2 above) as provided in the Notice of Claim, whether or not such funds are properly applied by the Beneficiary or such other party.
 
In the event the Insurer is required under law to deduct or withhold any tax or similar charge from or in respect of any amount payable under or in respect of the Policy, the Insurer will make all such deductions and withholdings and pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with law, but the Insurer will not “gross-up” or otherwise pay additional amounts in respect of such taxes, and the Insurer’s payments to the Beneficiary or the court, receiver, conservator, administrator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Order relating to a Preference Amount, as the case may be, will be amounts that are net of such deductions or withholdings.
 
SECTION 4.  Fiscal Agent
 
At any time during the Term of the Policy, the Insurer may appoint a fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”) for purposes of the Policy by written notice to the Beneficiary, specifying the name and notice address of such Fiscal Agent. From and after the date of receipt of such notice by the Beneficiary, copies of all notices and documents required to be delivered to the Insurer pursuant to the Policy shall be simultaneously delivered to the Fiscal Agent and to the Insurer. All payments required to be made by the Insurer under the Policy may be made directly by the Insurer or by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Insurer. The Fiscal Agent is the agent of the Insurer only, and the Fiscal Agent shall in no event be liable to the Beneficiary for any acts of the Fiscal Agent or any failure of the Insurer to deposit, or cause to be deposited, sufficient funds to make payments due under the Policy.
 
SECTION 5. Subrogation
 
Upon and to the extent of, and with respect to, any payment by the Insurer under the Policy, the Insurer shall be considered the holder of the portion of Insured Obligations with respect to which the Insurer made payments under the Policy, and any appurtenant coupon thereto and right to payment of principal thereof or interest thereon, as applicable, and shall be fully subrogated to the Beneficiary’s and each Holder’s right, title and interest thereunder, including the right to receive payments in respect of that portion of the Insured Obligations, subject to, in the case of a payment made by the Issuer, the priority of payments in the Agreement. By agreement to such subrogation, the Insurer does not waive its rights to seek full payment of all Reimbursement Amounts owed to it under the Agreement.  Any payment made by or on behalf of the Issuer to, and any amounts received under the Operative Documents for the benefit of, the Holders in respect of any Insured Amount forming the basis of a claim hereunder (which claim shall have been paid by the Insurer) shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Insurer and shall be paid over to the Insurer in accordance with the Agreement.  The Beneficiary and each Holder shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, and at the expense of the Insurer, with any request by the Insurer for action to preserve or enforce the Insurer’s rights and remedies in respect of the Issuer under the Insured Obligations, any related security arrangements or otherwise, including, without limitation, any request to (i) institute or participate in any suit, action or other proceeding, (ii) enforce any judgment obtained and collect from Issuer or the Beneficiary any amounts adjudged due or (iii) transfer to the Insurer, via absolute legal assignment, the Beneficiary’s or such Holder’s rights in respect of any Insured Amount which may form the basis of a claim hereunder.
 
SECTION 6.  Assignment and Amendment
 
The Policy may not be assigned by the Beneficiary without the prior written consent of the Insurer. Except with the prior written consent of the Beneficiary and the Insurer, the terms of the Policy may not be modified or altered by any other agreement.
