(d)           Timing of Payments by Party B upon Early Termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii), to the extent that all or a portion (in either case, the “Unfunded Amount”) of any amount that is calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) from Party B to Party A will be paid by Party B from amounts other than any upfront payment paid to Party B by an Eligible Replacement that has entered into a Replacement Transaction with Party B, then such Unfunded Amount shall be due on the next subsequent Distribution Date following the date on which the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii), and on any subsequent Distribution Dates until paid in full (or if such Early Termination Date is the final Distribution Date, on such final Distribution Date); provided, however, that if the date on which the payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii) is a Distribution Date, such payment will be payable on such Distribution Date.

(a)          Care of Posted Collateral.  Without limiting the Secured Party’s rights under Paragraph 6(c), the Secured Party will exercise reasonable care to assure the safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the extent required by applicable  law,  and  in  any  event  the  Secured  Party  will  be  deemed  to  have  exercised  reasonable care if it exercises at  least  the same  degree of care  as it would exercise with respect to its own property.  Except as specified  in the preceding sentence, the Secured  Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral, including, without limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce or preserve any rights pertaining thereto.

(i)            General.  Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in Paragraph 13 for holding Posted Collateral,  the Secured Party will be entitled to hold Posted Collateral or to appoint an agent (a “Custodian”) to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party.  Upon notice by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of the appointment of a Custodian, the Pledgor’s obligations to make any Transfer will be discharged  by making  the Transfer to  that  Custodian.  The holding of Posted Collateral by a Custodian will  be deemed  to be the  holding of  that Posted  Collateral by the Secured Party for which the Custodian is acting.

 

(ii)           Failure to Satisfy Conditions.   If  the Secured Party or its Custodian fails to satisfy any conditions for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a demand made by the Pledgor, the Secured Party will, not later than five Local Business Days after the demand, Transfer or cause its Custodian to Transfer all Posted Collateral  held by  it to a Custodian  that satisfies those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those conditions.

(c)          Use of Posted Collateral.   Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and without limiting the rights and obligations of the parties under Paragraphs  3,  4(d)(ii),  5,  6(d) and 8, if the Secured Party is not a Defaulting Party or an Affected Party with respect to a Specified Condition and no Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then the Secured  Party will,  notwithstanding  Section  9-207 of  the New York  Uniform Commercial  Code, have the right to:

 

(i)            sell,  pledge,  rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise use in  its business any  Posted Collateral  it holds,  free from any  claim or  right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption by the Pledgor; and

 

(ii)           register any Posted Collateral in the name of the Secured Party, its Custodian or a nominee for either.

(d)          Distributions and Interest Amount.

 

(i)            Distributions.  Subject to Paragraph 4(a), if the Secured Party receives or is deemed to receive Distributions on a Local Business Day, it will Transfer to the Pledgor not later than the following Local Business Day any Distributions it receives or is deemed to receive to the extent that a Delivery Amount would  not be  created or increased  by  that Transfer, as calculated by  the Valuation Agent  (and the date of calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).

(ii)           Interest Amount.  Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and subject to Paragraph 4(a), in lieu of any interest, dividends or other amounts paid or deemed to have been paid with respect to Posted Collateral  in the  form of Cash (all of  which may be  retained by the Secured Party), the Secured Party will  Transfer to  the Pledgor at the times  specified in  Paragraph 13 the Interest Amount to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that Transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).  The Interest Amount  or portion thereof  not Transferred pursuant  to  this Paragraph  will constitute  Posted Collateral in the form of Cash and will be subject to the security interest granted under Paragraph 2.

 

Paragraph 7.  Events of Default

 

For  purposes  of  Section 5(a)(iii)(1)  of  this  Agreement,  an  Event  of  Default will exist with respect to a party if:

 

(i)            that party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any Transfer of Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount, as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure continues for two Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that party;

Each party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of securities may decline speedily in value and  is of  a type customarily sold on  a  recognized  market,  and, accordingly, the Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice  of  any  sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party, except any notice that is required under applicable law and cannot be waived.

(B)           to the extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A) above, withhold payment of any remaining amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations, up to the Value of any remaining  Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party, until that Posted Collateral is Transferred to the Pledgor.

 

(c)          Deficiencies and Excess Proceeds.  The Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor any proceeds and Posted Credit Support remaining after liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) after satisfaction in full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations; the Pledgor in all events will remain liable for any amounts remaining unpaid after any liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b).
