Section 6.03 of the Agreement provides that the Transferors
may from time to time direct the Trustee to authenticate one or

Pursuant

in two Classes, the first of which shall be known as the
“Class A Series 2007-6 Floating Rate Asset Backed
Certificates” and the second of which shall be known as the
“Class B Series 2007-6 Floating Rate Asset Backed
Certificates.” In addition, there is hereby created a third
Class of uncertificated interests in the Trust which shall be known
as the “Collateral Interest, Series 2007-6” and
which shall be deemed to be “Investor Certificates” for
all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement other than for
purposes of the definition of the term “Tax Opinion” in
Section 1.01 of the Agreement. The Collateral Interest shall
be considered a Class of Series 2007-6 for all purposes of the
Agreement and this Supplement, including for purposes of voting
concerning the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to
Section 9.01 of the Agreement. The Collateral Interest Holder
shall be deemed to be the Series Enhancer for all purposes
under the Agreement and this Supplement.
(b) Series 2007-6
shall be included in Group II and shall be a Principal Sharing
Series. Series 2007-6 shall be an Excess Allocation Series.
Series 2007-6 shall not be subordinated to any other

deposited in the Special Funding Account.
Section 4.02.
Determination of Monthly Interest .
(a) The
amount of monthly interest (“ Class A Monthly
Interest ”) distributable from the Collection Account
with respect to the Class A Certificates on any Distribution
Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in
the period from (and including) the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date,
the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, (ii) the Class A Certificate
Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) the outstanding principal
balance of the Class A Certificates as of close of business on
the immediately preceding Record Date.
On the
Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall determine the excess, if any (the “ Class A
Interest Shortfall ”), of (x) the Class A
Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date over (y) the
aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such
Class A Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the
Class A Interest Shortfall with respect to any
16
Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent
Distribution Date until such Class A Interest Shortfall is fully
paid, an additional amount (“ Class A Additional
Interest ”) equal to the product of (i) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the period
from (and including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date
(or in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date)
to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is 360, (ii) the sum of (x) the Class A
Certificate Rate and (y) 2.0% per annum and
(iii) such Class A Interest Shortfall (or the portion
thereof which has not been paid to the Class A
Certificateholders) shall be payable as provided herein with
respect to the Class A Certificates. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, Class A Additional Interest shall be
payable or distributed to the Class A Certificateholders only
to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(b) The
amount of monthly interest (“ Class B Monthly
Interest ”) distributable from the Collection Account
with respect to the Class B Certificates on any Distribution
Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in
the period from (and including) the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date,
the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360, (ii) the Class B Certificate
Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) the Class B Invested
Amount as of the close of business on the immediately preceding
Record Date.
On the
Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall determine the excess, if any (the “ Class B
Interest Shortfall ”), of (x) the Class B
Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date over (y) the
aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to pay such
Class B Monthly Interest on such Distribution Date. If the
Class B Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution
Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Distribution Date
until such Class B Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an
additional amount (“ Class B Additional Interest
”) equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the actual number of days in the period from (and
including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the
case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but
excluding) such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is
360, (ii) the sum of (x) the Class B Certificate
Rate and (y) 2.0% per annum and (iii) such
Class B Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has
not been paid to the Class B Certificateholders) shall be
payable as provided herein with respect to the Class B
Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Class B Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to
the Class B Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
(c) The
amount of monthly interest (“ Collateral Minimum Monthly
Interest ”) distributable from the Collection Account
with respect to the Collateral Invested Amount on any Distribution
Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (A) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in
the period from (and including) the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date,
the Closing Date) to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360 and (B) the Collateral Minimum
Interest Rate in effect with respect to the period from (and
including) the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the
case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to (but
excluding) such Distribution Date, and (ii) the Collateral
Initial Invested Amount less the aggregate amount of principal
payments distributed to the Collateral Interest Holder on all prior
Distribution Dates.
On the
Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall determine an amount (the “ Collateral Interest
Shortfall ”) equal to (x) the aggregate Collateral
Minimum Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date minus
(y) the aggregate amount of funds allocated and available to
pay such Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest on such Distribution
Date. If the Collateral Interest Shortfall with respect to any
Distribution Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent
Distribution Date until such Collateral Interest Shortfall is fully
paid, an additional amount (“ Collateral Additional
Interest ”) shall be payable as provided herein with
respect to the Collateral Invested Amount equal to the product of
(i) (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual
number of
17
days in
the period from (and including) the immediately preceding
Distribution Date to (but excluding) such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is 360 and (B) the Collateral Minimum
Interest Rate in effect during the period from (and including) the
immediately preceding Distribution Date to (but excluding) such
Distribution Date, and (ii) such Collateral Interest Shortfall
(or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Collateral
Interest Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Collateral Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to
the Collateral Interest Holder only to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
Section 4.03.
Principal Funding Account; Controlled Accumulation
Period.
(a)
(i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Series 2007-6
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, an Eligible Deposit Account (the
“ Principal Funding Account ”), bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein and
the property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the
Series 2007-6 Certificateholders. The Principal Funding
Account shall initially be established with The Bank of New
York.
(ii) At
the written direction of the Servicer, funds on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account shall be invested by the Trustee in
Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. All such Eligible
Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the
Series 2007-6 Certificateholders; provided that on each
Distribution Date all interest and other investment income (net of
losses and investment expenses) (“ Principal Funding
Account Investment Proceeds ”) on funds on deposit
therein shall be applied as set forth in paragraph
(iii) below. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account
shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that
such funds will be available at the close of business on the
Transfer Date preceding the following Distribution Date. Unless the
Servicer directs otherwise, funds deposited in the Principal
Funding Account on a Transfer Date (which immediately precedes a
Distribution Date) upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments
are not required to be invested overnight. No such Eligible
Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of
any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such
Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal,
interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible
Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer
shall deliver prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
default; and provided further that, subject to
Section 11.01 of the Agreement, the Trustee will not in any
way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Principal
Funding Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment
included therein except for losses attributable to the
Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible
Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in
accordance with their terms.
(iii) On
each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation
Period, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to
withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and deposit into the
Collection Account all Principal Funding Account Investment
Proceeds then on deposit in the Principal Funding Account and such
Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds shall be treated as a
portion of Class A Available Funds and Class B Available
Funds.
(iv) Reinvested
interest and other investment income on funds deposited in the
Principal Funding Account shall not be considered to be principal
amounts on deposit therein for purposes of this Supplement.
(b)
(i) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in
all funds and property from time to time deposited in or credited
to the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The
Principal Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2007-6
Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Principal Funding Account
ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee (or the
Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such
longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each
Rating Agency may
18
consent)
establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions
specified in paragraph (a)(i) above as an Eligible Deposit Account
and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new
Principal Funding Account.
(ii) Pursuant
to the authority granted to the Servicer in subsection 3.01(b) of
the Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power to make
withdrawals and payments or to instruct the Trustee to make
withdrawals and payments from the Principal Funding Account for the
purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or Trustee’s
duties hereunder. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Paying
Agent in Section 5.01 of this Supplement and Section 6.07
of the Agreement, the Paying Agent shall have the power to withdraw
funds from the Principal Funding Account for the purpose of making
distributions to the Series 2007-6 Certificateholders.
(c) The
Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the
close of business on the last day of the May 2009 Monthly
Period; provided, however, that if the Controlled
Accumulation Period Length (which shall be determined as described
below) is less than 12 months, the date on which the
Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be delayed
to the close of business on the last day of the month preceding the
month that is the number of months prior to the Expected Final
Payment Date at least equal to the Controlled Accumulation Period
Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the
Controlled Accumulation Period will at least equal the Controlled
Accumulation Period Length. On the Determination Date immediately
preceding the May 2009 Distribution Date, and on each Determination
Date thereafter that occurs prior to the Determination Date
occurring in the Monthly Period in which the Controlled
Accumulation Period commences, the Servicer will determine the
“ Controlled Accumulation Period Length ” which
will equal the number of months such that the sum of the Controlled
Accumulation Period Factors for each month during such period will
be equal to or greater than the Required Accumulation Factor
Number; provided, however, that the Controlled Accumulation
Period Length shall not be less than one month. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall have
been determined to be less than 12 months and, after the date
on which such determination is made, a Pay-Out Event or
Reinvestment Event (as those terms are defined in the Supplement
for such Series) shall occur with respect to any outstanding
Principal Sharing Series other than Series 2007-6, the Controlled
Accumulation Period will commence on the earlier of (i) the
first day of the Monthly Period immediately succeeding the date
that such Pay-Out Event or Reinvestment Event shall have occurred
with respect to such Series and (ii) the date on which the
Controlled Accumulation Period is then scheduled to commence.
