since this Annex was executed or (ii) at least 30 Local Business Days have

(iii)
“Valuation Time” means the close of business in the city in which the Valuation

“Notification Time” means 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a Local Business Day.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
(v)

(or, to the extent applicable, its Credit Support Provider) does not have a
long-term unsubordinated and unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB+” from S&P,
the Valuation Agent shall (A) calculate the Secured Party’s Exposure and the S&P
Value of Posted Credit Support on each Valuation Date based on internal marks
and (B) verify such calculations with external marks monthly by obtaining on the
last Local Business Day of each calendar month two external marks for each
Transaction to which this Annex relates and for all Posted Credit Support; such
verification of the Secured Party’s Exposure shall be based on the higher of the
two external marks. Each external mark in respect of a Transaction shall be
obtained from an independent Reference Market-maker that would be eligible and
willing to enter into such Transaction in the absence of the current derivative
provider, provided that an external mark may not be obtained from the same
Reference Market-maker more than four times in any 12-month period. The
Valuation Agent shall obtain these external marks directly or through an
independent third party, in either case at no cost to Party B. The Valuation
Agent shall calculate on each Valuation Date (for purposes of this paragraph,
the last Local Business Day in each calendar month referred to above shall be
considered a Valuation Date) the Secured Party’s Exposure based on the greater
of the Valuation Agent’s internal marks and the external marks received. If the
S&P Value on any such Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support then held by
the Secured Party is less than the S&P Credit Support Amount on such Valuation
Date (in each case as determined pursuant to this paragraph), Party A shall,
within three Local Business Days of such Valuation Date, Transfer to the Secured
Party Eligible Credit Support having an S&P Value as of the date of Transfer at
least equal to such deficiency.

 
(vi)
Notice to S&P. At any time at which Party A (or, to the extent applicable, its
Credit Support Provider) does not have a long-term unsubordinated and unsecured
debt rating of at least “BBB+” from S&P, the Valuation Agent shall provide to
S&P not later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following
each Valuation Date its calculations of the Secured Party’s Exposure and the S&P
Value of any Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support for that Valuation
Date. The Valuation Agent shall also provide to S&P any external marks received
pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

Time, or if unavailable, as quoted to the Valuation Agent as of the Resolution
Time by a dealer in that Posted Credit Support of recognized standing selected
in good faith by the Valuation Agent, which calculation shall include any unpaid
interest on that Posted Credit Support to the extent it is the established
practice in the relevant market.
