Section 2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Financial Security. Financial Security represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(a) Organization, Etc. Financial Security is a stock insurance company duly organized, validly existing and authorized to transact financial guaranty insurance business under the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Authorization, Etc. The Notes Policy and the Financial Security Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Financial Security.

(c) Validity, Etc. The Notes Policy and the Financial Security Agreements constitute valid and binding obligations of Financial Security, enforceable against Financial Security in accordance with their terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally applicable in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Financial Security and to the application of general principles of equity and subject, in the case of this Agreement, to principles of public policy limiting the right to enforce the indemnification provisions contained herein.

(d) Exemption From Registration. The Notes Policy is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

(e) No Conflicts. Neither the execution or delivery by Financial Security of the Notes Policy or the Financial Security Agreements, nor the performance by Financial Security of its obligations thereunder, will conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of Financial Security nor result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or other instrument to which Financial Security is a party or by which any of its property is bound nor violate any judgment, order or decree applicable to Financial Security of any governmental or regulatory body, administrative agency, court or arbitrator having jurisdiction over Financial Security (except that, in the published opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, insofar as they relate to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, are against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and are therefore unenforceable).

(f) Financial Information. The consolidated balance sheets of Financial Security as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, and the interim consolidated balance sheets of Financial Security as of March 31, 2008 (and March 31, 2007) (unaudited), and the related statements of income, changes in shareholder equity and cash flows for the interim period then ended, which are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Financial Security as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end adjustments) and since the date of the most current interim consolidated balance sheet referred to above there has been no change in the financial condition of Financial Security which would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under the Notes Policy.

(g) Financial Security Information. The information in the Prospectus Supplement set forth or incorporated by reference under the caption “The Insurer” (as revised from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof, the “Financial Security Information”) is limited and does not purport to provide the scope of disclosure required to be included in a prospectus with respect to a registrant in connection with the offer and sale of securities of such registrant registered under the Securities Act. Within such limited scope of disclosure, however, with respect to (i) the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, as of the Time of Sale, and (ii) the Final Prospectus Supplement, as of its date and the Closing Date, the Financial Security Information did not and does not, as applicable, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) Additional Information. Financial Security will furnish to the Underwriters or the Seller, upon request of the Underwriters or the Seller, as the case may be, copies of Financial Security’s most recent financial statements (annual or interim, as the case may be) which fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Financial Security as of the dates and for the periods indicated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied except as noted therein (subject, as to interim statements, to normal year-end adjustments). In addition, if the delivery of a Prospectus relating to the Securities is required at any time prior to the expiration of nine months after the time of issue of the Prospectus in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities, the Seller or the Underwriters will notify Financial Security of such requirement to deliver a Prospectus and Financial Security will promptly provide the Underwriters and the Seller with any revisions to the Financial Security Information that are in the judgment of Financial Security necessary to prepare an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus.

(i) Opinion of Counsel. Financial Security will furnish to the Underwriters and the Seller on the closing date for the sale of the Securities an opinion of its Assistant General Counsel, Associate General Counsel or General Counsel to the effect set forth in

Exhibit A attached hereto, dated such closing date and addressed to the Seller and the Underwriters.

(j) Consents and Reports of Independent Accountants. Financial Security will furnish to the Underwriters and the Seller, upon request, as comfort from its independent accountants in respect of its financial condition, (i) at the expense of the Person specified in the Insurance Agreement, a copy of the Prospectus, including either a manually signed consent or a manually signed report of Financial Security’s independent accountants and (ii) the quarterly review letter by Financial Security’s independent accountants in respect of the most recent interim financial statements of Financial Security.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a representation or warranty by Financial Security concerning the rating of its insurance financial strength by Fitch, Inc., Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. or any other rating assigned by a rating agency (collectively, the “Rating Agencies”). The Rating Agencies, in assigning such ratings, take into account facts and assumptions not described in the Prospectus and the facts and assumptions which are considered by the Rating Agencies, and the ratings issued thereby, are subject to change over time.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Underwriters. Each of the Underwriters represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(a) Compliance With Laws. Such Underwriter will comply in all material respects with all legal requirements in connection with offers and sales of the Securities and make such offers and sales in the manner provided in the Prospectus Supplement.

(b) Offering Document. Such Underwriter will not use, or distribute to other broker-dealers for use, any Offering Document in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities unless such Offering Document includes such information as has been furnished by Financial Security for inclusion therein and the information therein concerning Financial Security has been approved by Financial Security in writing (other than any such written communication that consists solely of postings that are initially made by such Underwriter on the Bloomberg system or otherwise via e-mail and that contains only identifying information regarding the Trust and the Notes, the expected closing date and first payment date for the Notes, the expected principal amount, expected weighted average life, expected ratings, expected periods for payments of principal, expected final payment date, expected legal final payment date and expected interest rate index for each class of Notes; preliminary guidance as to the interest rate and/or yield for each class of Notes (but not final interest rate or yield information); information regarding the principal amount of the Notes being offered by each Underwriter; other similar or related information such as expected pricing parameters, status of subscriptions and Underwriter’s retentions and ERISA eligibility; and/or any legends regarding the contents of such written communication). Financial Security hereby consents to the information in respect of Financial Security included in the Prospectus. Each Offering Document that describes the Notes Policy will include the following statement:

“The Notes Policy is not covered by the Property/Casualty Insurance Security Fund specified in Article 76 of the New York Insurance Law”.

Each Offering Document including financial statements with respect to Financial Security prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but excluding any Offering Document in which such financial statements are incorporated by reference) will include the following statement immediately preceding such financial statements:

“The New York State Insurance Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, for determining its solvency under the New York Insurance Law, and for determining whether its financial condition warrants the payment of a dividend to its stockholders. No consideration is given by the New York State Insurance Department to financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in making such determinations.”

(c) Underwriter Information. All material provided by the Underwriters for inclusion in the Prospectus (as revised from time to time, the “Underwriter Information”), insofar as such information relates to the Underwriters, is true and correct in all material respects, with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, as of the Time of Sale, and with respect to the Prospectus Supplement, as of its date and the Closing Date. The Underwriter Information is limited to the information set forth (i) on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement the information in the table under the headings entitled “Price to Public”, “Underwriting Discounts” and “Proceeds to Seller”; (ii) in the body and within the “Underwriting” section of the Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, the paragraph immediately following the Class A-4 Notes Underwriter commitment table; and (iii) in the body and within the “Underwriting” section of the Final Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, (a) except for statements therein relating to the issuing entity, the fourth and fifth paragraphs under the sub-heading “European Economic Area” and (b) the second sentence in the fourth-to-last paragraph and the last paragraph of the “Underwriting” section.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a) Financial Security agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided herein, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller Party and each Underwriter Party against (i) any and all Losses incurred by them with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities and resulting from Financial Security’s breach of any of its representations, warranties or agreements set forth in Section 2 hereof and (ii) any and all Losses to which any Seller Party or Underwriter Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or result from an untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Offering Document or the omission to state

therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in the Financial Security Information included therein in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) Each of the Underwriters, agrees, severally but not jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided herein, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Financial Security Party against (i) any and all Losses incurred by them with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities and resulting from the Underwriters’ breach of any of its representations, warranties or agreements set forth in Section 3 hereof and (ii) any and all Losses to which any Financial Security Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or result from an untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Offering Document or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in the Underwriter Information of the Underwriter included therein.

(c) Upon the incurrence of any Losses for which a party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly upon establishment by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party of the Losses incurred.

Section 5. Indemnification Procedures. Except as provided below in Section 6 with respect to contribution, the indemnification provided herein by an Indemnifying Party shall be the exclusive remedy of any and all Indemnified Parties for the breach of a representation, warranty or agreement hereunder by an Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue any other remedy at law or in equity for any such breach so long as the damages sought to be recovered shall not exceed the Losses incurred thereby resulting from such breach. In the event that any action or regulatory proceeding shall be commenced or claim asserted which may entitle an Indemnified Party to be indemnified under this Agreement, such party shall give the Indemnifying Party written or telegraphic notice of such action or claim reasonably promptly after receipt of written notice thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, upon notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such action or claim in reasonable cooperation with, and with the reasonable cooperation of, the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action in addition to the counsel of the Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party at its expense has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (b) the Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, or (c) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnified Parties shall have been advised by counsel that (A) there may be one or more legal defenses available to them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and (B) the representation of the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate or

contrary to prudent practice (in which case, if such Indemnified Parties notify the Indemnifying Party in writing that they elect to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Parties, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Seller Parties, one such firm for all Underwriter Parties and one such firm for all Financial Security Parties, as the case may be, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Seller in respect of the Seller Parties, by the Underwriters in respect of the Underwriter Parties and by Financial Security in respect of the Financial Security Parties), in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and all such fees and expenses will be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented thereto or be in default in its obligations hereunder. Any failure by an Indemnified Party to comply with the provisions of this Section shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability only if such failure is prejudicial to the position of the Indemnifying Party and then only to the extent of such prejudice.

Section 6. Contribution.

(a) To provide for just and equitable contribution if the indemnification provided by any Indemnifying Party is determined to be unavailable or insufficient for any Indemnified Party (other than due to application of this Section), each Indemnifying Party (severally and not jointly in the case of the Underwriters) shall contribute to the Losses arising from any breach of any of its representations, warranties or agreements contained in this Agreement on the basis of the relative fault of each of the parties as set forth in Section 6(b) below; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall in no event be required to contribute to all Indemnified Parties an aggregate amount in excess of the Losses incurred by such Indemnified Parties resulting from the breach of representations, warranties or agreements contained in this Agreement.

(b) The relative fault of each Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of each Indemnified Party, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the breach of, or alleged breach of, any representations, warranties or agreements contained in this Agreement relates to information supplied by, or action within the control of, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such breach.

(c) The parties agree that Financial Security shall be solely responsible for the Financial Security Information and the Underwriters shall be solely responsible for the Underwriter Information and that the balance of each Offering Document shall be the responsibility of the Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute an amount in excess of the amount by which the total

price of the Securities underwritten by the Underwriters exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriters have otherwise been required to pay in respect of such untrue statement or omission.

(e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) Upon the incurrence of any Losses entitled to contribution hereunder, the contributor shall reimburse the party entitled to contribution promptly upon establishment by the party entitled to contribution to the contributor of the Losses incurred.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

EXHIBIT A

OPINION OF COUNSEL

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. Financial Security is a stock insurance company duly organized, validly existing, and authorized to transact financial guaranty insurance business under the laws of the State of New York.

2. The Notes Policy and the Agreements have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Financial Security.

3. The Notes Policy and the Agreements constitute valid and binding obligations of Financial Security, enforceable against Financial Security in accordance with their terms, subject, as to the enforcement of remedies, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally applicable in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Financial Security and to the application of general principles of equity and subject, in the case of the Indemnification Agreement, to principles of public policy limiting the right to enforce the indemnification provisions contained therein insofar as such provisions relate to indemnification for liabilities arising under applicable securities laws.

4. The Notes Policy is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

5. Neither the execution or delivery by Financial Security of the Notes Policy or the Agreements, nor the performance by Financial Security of its obligations thereunder, will conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of Financial Security or violate any law or regulation, which violation would impair the binding effect or enforceability of the Notes Policy or the Agreements or, to the best of my knowledge, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or other instrument to which Financial Security is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or, to the best of my knowledge, violate any judgment, order, or decree applicable to Financial Security of any governmental or regulatory body, administrative agency, court, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over Financial Security (except that in the published opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission the indemnification provisions of the Indemnification Agreement, insofar as they relate to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act, are against public policy as expressed in the Act and are therefore unenforceable).

In addition, please be advised that I have reviewed the description of Financial Security under the caption “The Insurer” in (i) the preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated May 19, 2008

A-1

(the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and (ii) the final Prospectus Supplement dated May 20, 2008 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the “Disclosure Documents”) of the Seller with respect to the Securities. The information provided in the Disclosure Documents with respect to Financial Security is limited and does not purport to provide the scope of disclosure required to be included in a prospectus with respect to a registrant under the Act in connection with the public offer and sale of securities of such registrant. Within such limited scope of disclosure, however, there has not come to my attention any information that would cause me to believe that the description of Financial Security referred to above, with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, as of 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on May 20, 2008, and with respect to the Final Prospectus Supplement, as of its date or as of the date of this opinion, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that I express no opinion with respect to any financial statements or other financial information contained or referred to therein).
