Whereas, the Auction Administrator and CSI contemporaneously herewith are entering into the Auction Swap Agreement (as defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement);
 
Whereas, the Auction Administrator, acting on behalf of the Holders of the Auction Notes, has been directed, in its capacity as Securities Administrator under the Sale and Servicing Agreement to execute and deliver the Auction Swap Agreement;
 
Whereas, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to provide for the Auction Administrator to (i) conduct a mandatory auction (the “Auction”) of the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class A-3A and Class A-3B Notes (the “Auction Notes”) five Business Days before the Payment Date in February 2012 (the Payment Date in February 2012 being referred to herein as the “Auction Payment Date”), (ii) on the Auction Payment Date, distribute to the Holders of the Auction Notes the Auction Proceeds together with the amounts, if any, due to the Auction Administrator pursuant to the Auction Swap Agreement, subject to a maximum distribution to the Holders of the Auction Notes of the Par Price and (iii) on the Auction Payment Date, distribute to the Auction Swap Counterparty (or its designee) any excess of the Auction Proceeds over the Par Price;
 
Now, Therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
Section 1
Defined Terms
 
For purposes of this Agreement, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, all capitalized terms that are used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 2
Auction Procedures
 
 
(a)
By 10:30 AM New York time on the fifth Business Day preceding the Auction Payment Date (the “Notice Date”), the Auction Administrator will deliver a notice (telephonically and by facsimile transmission) to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSS”) (which form of notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A) and at least two other entities listed on Schedule A hereto (which Schedule A may be amended by delivery of a revised Schedule A by CSS to the Auction Administrator) or any successors thereof (together with CSS, the “Dealers”) selected by CSS by the Notice Date and request that they solicit bids from third-party investors, which may include Dealers (the “Bidders”). The Auction Administrator will contact the Dealers via Exhibit A and request that they solicit Qualifying Bids (as defined below) from the Bidders for the purchase of all or a portion of the Auction Notes, and will request that the Bidders respond to the Dealers, who in turn will convey such bids to the Auction Administrator, by 11:00 AM New York time on the second Business Day prior to the Auction Payment Date (the “Bid Date”). The Auction Administrator will instruct the Dealers to instruct the Bidders that (i) the bids must be submitted on an unconditional basis, (ii) the bids should be submitted as a percentage of par (after application of all principal to be distributed, and all Realized Losses and Recoveries to be allocated on the Auction Payment Date, and (iii) the price to be paid in connection with a winning bid must be deposited into the Auction Proceeds Account (as defined in Section 3(a) of this Agreement) not later than 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Payment Date (any bid conforming to the requirements of clauses (i) - (iii) being a "Qualifying Bid"). The Auction Administrator will request from each Bidder, through the Dealers, instructions for transfer on the Auction Payment Date to the Bidder (or its designee) of the Auction Notes of each Class on which such Bidder is bidding in the event that such Bidder is the winning Bidder.
 

 
 

 
 
 
(b)
As soon as practicable after 11:00 AM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator will determine the highest Qualifying Bid for each Auction Note being auctioned, based on the Qualifying Bids received by the Auction Administrator from or through the Dealers by 11:00 AM New York time. If no Qualifying Bids for a Class of Auction Notes or for a portion of a Class of Auction Notes are received from or through any Dealers by 11:00 AM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator will so advise the Dealers (including CSS) by telephone and facsimile transmission (in the form of notice attached hereto as Exhibit B) and will extend the deadline for receipt of Qualifying Bids for such Class of Auction Notes (or portion thereof) by two hours to 1:00 PM New York time; if no Qualifying Bids are received by 1:00 PM New York time for such Class of Auction Notes (or portion thereof), the auction price for such Auction Notes for purposes of the Auction Swap Agreement will be deemed to be zero. If only one Qualifying Bid for a Class of Auction Notes (or portion thereof) being auctioned is received from or through any Dealers, then the auction price for such Auction Notes (or portion thereof) shall be the amount of such Qualifying Bid. In the event that on the Bid Date two or more Qualifying Bids of equal price (“Tie Bids”) are determined to be the highest Qualifying Bids for an aggregate amount greater than the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Auction Notes, then the Bidders of the Tie Bids will each take a pro rata share in such Auction Notes (based on the aggregate Class Note Principal Balance for such Class of Auction Notes for which each such Bidder submitted a Qualifying Bid); provided, however, that such Auction Notes shall be issued in the minimum denomination, or multiples in excess thereof, authorized by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
 

 
-2-

 
 
 
(c)
In the event that CSI defaults in its payment obligations under the Auction Swap Agreement:
 
 
(i)
if no Qualifying Bids for a Class of Auction Notes are received, then the Holders of such Auction Notes will retain such Auction Notes and their rights under the Auction Swap Agreement;
 
 
(ii)
if Qualifying Bids are received for some, but not all, Auction Notes of a Class, then each Holder of such Class of Auction Notes shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of its Auction Notes (based on the aggregate Class Principal Amount of such Class of Auction Notes held by each Holder and subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2(b) of this Agreement) and shall retain the remaining Class Principal Amount, if any, of such Class of Auction Notes held by it and its rights under the Auction Swap Agreement;
 
 
(iii)
if bids are received for all Auction Notes of a Class, then each Holder of such Class of Auction Notes shall be deemed to have sold all its Auction Notes (subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2(b) of this Agreement) and shall retain its rights under the Auction Swap Agreement;
 
 
(iv)
if Auction Proceeds for the Auction Notes of a Class are in excess of the Par Price for such Auction Notes, then, on the Auction Payment Date, the Auction Administrator will distribute to the Auction Swap Counterparty or its designee the amount of such excess; and
 
 
(v)
if, after the Holders of all Classes of Auction Notes have received the Par Price for the relevant Auction Notes, there are any remaining proceeds from the early termination of the Swap Agreement, the Auction Administrator will distribute to CSI (or to its designee) the amount of such remaining proceeds.
 
In any case described in (i)-(v) above, the Auction Administrator shall have no further responsibility with respect to the auction of such Auction Notes.
 
 
(d)
By 3:00 PM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator will notify the winning Bidder(s) with respect to the applicable auctioned Auction Notes that (i) its Qualifying Bid was the highest Qualifying Bid and shall give it wiring instructions for payment of the purchase price for such Auction Notes into the Auction Proceeds Account and (ii) unless such purchase price is received by 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Payment Date, such Bidder’s Qualifying Bid will be rejected and the Qualifying Bid of the next highest Bidder(s) shall be accepted in accordance with clause (f) below.
 
 
(e)
By 3:30 PM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator shall also notify CSI of the winning Qualifying Bid (or, if applicable, that no Qualifying Bids have been received) for each Auction Note. To the extent that the winning Qualifying Bid for an Auction Note is less than the Class Principal Amount of such class of Auction Notes on the Auction Payment Date, after application of all principal to be distributed, and all Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries to be allocated, to such class of Auction Notes on the Auction Payment Date, in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “Par Price”) on the Auction Payment Date, or if no Qualifying Bids have been received for a Note, the Auction Administrator will notify the Auction Swap Counterparty of the amount to be paid by the Auction Swap Counterparty to the Auction Administrator under the Auction Swap Agreement, which amount shall be paid by the Auction Swap Counterparty to the Auction Administrator by 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Payment Date. To the extent that the winning Qualifying Bid for an Auction Note is greater than the Par Price for such Auction Note, the Auction Administrator will notify the Auction Swap Counterparty of the amount to be paid on the Auction Payment Date from Auction Proceeds by the Auction Administrator to the Auction Swap Counterparty, or its designee, under the Auction Swap Agreement.

(f)
If a winning Bidder for a Note fails to wire the purchase price for such Note so it is received by the Auction Administrator by 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Payment Date, the Auction Administrator will notify such Bidder as soon as practicable after 11:00 AM New York time and not later than 12:00 noon New York time that its Qualifying Bid has been rejected and will notify the next highest Bidder(s) for such Note, with a copy to the Auction Swap Counterparty, that its Qualifying Bid has been accepted and shall give it wiring instructions for payment of the purchase price for such Note into the Auction Proceeds Account by 1:00 PM New York time on such Auction Payment Date. If no other Qualifying Bids are available to be accepted pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Auction Proceeds for such Note for purposes of the Auction Swap Agreement will be deemed to be zero. If either such event occurs, the Auction Administrator shall also notify the Auction Swap Counterparty of the amount to be paid by the Auction Swap Counterparty or to the Auction Swap Counterparty (or its designee), as applicable, under the Auction Swap Agreement in accordance with Section 2(e) hereof.
 
 
(g)
On the Auction Payment Date, the Auction Administrator will (i) (subject to the surrender of the Note by the Holder thereof to the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 5 hereof in the event that the Note is not then held in book-entry form) distribute to the Holder of each Note an amount (to be withdrawn from the Auction Proceeds Account and, if necessary, the Swap Proceeds Account) equal to the sum of (A) the Auction Proceeds, subject to a maximum payment of the Par Price for such Note, and (B) the amount, if any, received from the Auction Swap Counterparty under the Auction Swap Agreement with respect to such Note, and (ii) pay (from funds in the Auction Proceeds Account) to the Auction Swap Counterparty, or if CSS or an affiliate has participated in the Auction as a Bidder and the Auction Swap Counterparty is CSI, to an unaffiliated designee of CSI, the amount, if any, to be paid to the Auction Swap Counterparty or its designee under the Auction Swap Agreement. Such amounts will be distributed to the Holders of such Auction Notes as a payment for the sale of such Auction Notes in the same manner as such Holders would ordinarily receive distributions on the Auction Notes. For purposes of this Agreement, “Auction Proceeds” shall mean the portion of the proceeds of the Auction of a Class allocable to a Note of such Class.
 
 
(h)
No Holder of a Note or any party hereto will be responsible for the payment of any fees of, or costs incurred by, the Dealers in connection with the Auction.

Section 3
Establishment of Accounts
 
 
(a)
The Auction Administrator shall cause to be established and maintained two separate accounts for purposes of receiving and holding uninvested (i) any Auction Proceeds and (ii) the amounts, if any, received from the Auction Swap Counterparty under the Auction Swap Agreement (the “Auction Proceeds Account” and “Swap Proceeds Account,” respectively).
 
Section 4
Notice of Auction
 
On the Payment Date in the month prior to the Auction Payment Date, the Auction Administrator shall give written notice by letter to the Holder of each Note (which form of notice is attached hereto as Exhibit C) that will be subject to the Auction, with a copy to CSI, specifying (i) that such Note shall be auctioned in accordance with this Agreement on the Auction Payment Date and that the Par Price for such Note shall (upon the Auction Administrator’s receipt thereof in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement) be payable to such Holder, subject to the surrender of the Note by the Holder thereof to the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 5 hereof in the event that the Note is not then held in book-entry form, (ii) the Auction Payment Date, (iii) the method of calculating the Par Price payable to such Holder (in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement) and (iv) in the event such Note is not then held in book-entry form, that such Note should be surrendered to the Note Registrar for registration of transfer to the winning Bidder.
 
Section 5
Transfer of Auction Notes
 
Not later than 1:30 PM New York time on the Auction Payment Date, the Auction Administrator shall (subject to its receipt of the purchase price for the Auction Note from the winning Bidder pursuant to Section 2(d) or 2(f) hereof, as applicable, or if no Qualifying Bid was received for the Auction Note, the amount required to be paid by the Auction Swap Counterparty under the Auction Swap Agreement with respect to the Auction Note) instruct the applicable clearing agency in writing, with a copy to the Auction Swap Counterparty, to transfer the beneficial ownership interest in each Auction Note subject to the Auction to the winning Bidder (or with respect to an Auction Note for which no Qualifying Bid was received, if the Auction Swap Counterparty is CSI, to the CSS Designee). In the event such Auction Note is not then held in book-entry form, the Holder of such Auction Note shall surrender such Auction Note to the Note Registrar for registration of transfer on the Auction Payment Date to the winning Bidder (or with respect to an Auction Note for which no Qualifying Bid was received, if the Auction Swap Counterparty is CSI, to the CSS Designee). If the Holder of an Auction Note not then held in book-entry form fails to deliver such Auction Note to the Note Registrar, then (i) the Auction Administrator shall notify the Note Registrar of such failure and request that the Note Registrar deem such Auction Note cancelled and issue a new Auction Note to the winning Bidder (or with respect to an Auction Note for which no bid was received, if the Auction Swap Counterparty is CSI, to the CSS Designee), and (ii) the Par Price due to the Holder of such Auction Note will be paid only upon surrender of such Auction Note, without any accrued interest on the Par Price from the Auction Payment Date. For purposes of this Section 5, the “CSS Designee” is an entity that (i) is exempt from Federal income taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the corresponding provision of any future United States internal revenue law and (ii) CSS has confirmed meets the requirements of clause (i) and has identified in a notice delivered to the Auction Administrator on the fifth Business Day preceding the Auction Payment Date as the intended transferee of any Note for which no Qualifying Bid is received.
