(y)
obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of, another person, the ratings of the debt of which (or the ratings of the debt of the credit support provider of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings, to honor ABN AMRO’s obligations under this Agreement, provided that such other person is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, or

(b)
Ratings Event. If a Ratings Event occurs with respect to ABN AMRO (or any applicable credit support provider), then ABN AMRO shall, at its own expense, within ten (10) Business Days of such Ratings Event:

 
(x)
assign this Transaction to a third party, the ratings of the debt of which (or the ratings of the debt of the credit support provider of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings, on terms substantially the same as this Confirmation, which party is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, or

 
(y)
obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of, another person, the ratings of the debt of which (or the ratings of the debt of the credit support provider of which) meet or exceed the Qualifying Ratings, to honor ABN AMRO’s obligations under this Agreement, provided that such other person is approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, or

 
(z)
establish any other arrangement approved by the Counterparty, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and satisfactory to Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, which will be sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of their Certificates.

10)
