Moody’s, and
(y) a
short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “A-1” by S&P or a
long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “A+” by
S&P.
(C) A
“Collateralization
Event”
shall
occur with respect to BNY (or any applicable credit support provider)
if:
(x) its
short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced to “P-1” (and is
on watch for downgrade) or below, and its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated
debt is reduced to ”A1” (and is on watch for downgrade) or below (or, if it has
no short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating, its long term rating
is
reduced to “Aa3” (and is on watch for downgrade) or below) by Moody’s,
or
(y) its
short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is reduced below “A-1” or
its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of “A+” by
S&P.
(D) A
“Ratings
Event”
shall
occur with respect to BNY (or any applicable credit support provider)
if:
(x) its
short-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced
to
“P-2” or below by Moody’s and its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt is
reduced to “A3” or below (or, if it has no short-term unsecured and
unsubordinated debt rating, its long term rating is reduced to “A2” or below) by
Moody’s, or
(y) its
long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating is withdrawn or reduced
below
“BBB-” by S&P.
For
purposes of (C) and (D) above, such events include those occurring in connection
with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by BNY or any
applicable credit support provider, but they shall be deemed not to occur if,
within thirty (30) days (or, in the case of a Ratings Event, ten (10) Business
Days) thereafter, each of the applicable Rating Agencies has reconfirmed the
ratings of the Certificates, as applicable, which were in effect immediately
prior thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on the
Certificates could occur in the event that BNY does not post sufficient
collateral.
(ii) Actions
to be Taken Upon Occurrence of Event.
Subject, in each case set forth in (A) and (B) below, to satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Condition:
(A) Collateralization
Event.
If a
Collateralization Event occurs with respect to BNY (or any applicable credit
support provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense, within thirty (30) days
of such Collateralization Ratings Event:
(1) post
collateral under agreements and other instruments approved by the Counterparty,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, which will be sufficient to
restore the immediately prior ratings of the Certificates,
(2) assign
the Transaction to a third party, the ratings of the debt of which (or of the
guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings, on terms
substantially similar to this Confirmation, which party is approved by the
Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
(3) obtain
a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of, another person, the ratings of
the
debt of which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying
Ratings, to honor BNY’s obligations under this Agreement, provided
that
such
other person is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, or
(4) establish
any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, which will be sufficient to restore the immediately
prior
ratings of their Certificates.
(B) Ratings
Event.
If a
Ratings Event occurs with respect to BNY (or any applicable credit support
provider), then BNY shall, at its own expense, within ten (10) Business Days
of
such Ratings Event:
(1) assign
the Transaction to a third party, the ratings of the debt of which (or of the
guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings, on terms
substantially similar to this Confirmation, which party is approved by the
Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
(2) obtain
a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of, another person, the ratings of
the
debt of which (or of the guarantor of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying
Ratings, to honor BNY’s obligations under this Agreement, provided
that
such
other person is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, or
(3) establish
any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, which will be sufficient to restore the immediately
prior
ratings of the Certificates.

expense (and without any expense or liability to the Depositor, the
Sponsor, the Underwriters, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Issuing
Entity), shall take one of the following actions: (i) provide to
the
Sponsor and the Depositor: (x) if the Aggregate Significance Percentage
is
10% or more, but less than 20%, the information required under Item
1115(b)(1) of Regulation AB or (y) if the Aggregate Significance
Percentage is 20% or more, within five (5) Business Days, the information
required under Item 1115(b)(2) of Regulation AB; or (ii) assign its
rights
and delegate its obligations under the Transaction to a counterparty
with
the Approved Ratings Thresholds (or which satisfies the Rating Agency
Condition), that (x) provides the information specified in clause
(i)
above to the Depositor and Sponsor and (y) enters into documentation
substantially similar to the documentation then in place between
BNY and

so long as the Aggregate Significance Percentage is 10% or more,
BNY shall
provide any updates to the information provided pursuant to clause

after
the end of each of BNY’s fiscal quarter for any quarterly update, and in
no even more than 90 days after the end of each of BNY’s fiscal year for
any annual update).
|

(d)
|
All
information provided pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) shall be in
a form
suitable for conversion to the format required for filing by the
Depositor
with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval

accompanied by any necessary auditor’s consents or, if such information is

letter from BNY’s accountants. If permitted by Regulation AB, any such
information may be provided by reference to or incorporation by reference
from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange
Act.
