Support Document as provided in II(A) or I(A) above and the Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied, then, for so long as such Third Party Credit

satisfied, then, (i) Barclays shall have no further obligations in respect of


 


8

















 


this Part 5(10)(II) and, (ii) if Barclays was delivering Eligible
Collateral to Counterparty in accordance with the terms of an Approved Credit Support
Document pursuant to the provisions of Part 5(10)(I) hereof, Barclays shall
