Solely for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges that a Hedging Transaction entered into for speculative purposes or of a speculative nature (which shall be deemed to include any Hedging Transaction under which the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is or may become obliged to make any payment (i) in connection with the purchase by any third party of any common stock or any Indebtedness or (ii) as a result of changes in the market value of any common stock or any Indebtedness) is not a Hedging Transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks.

On each Delivery Date, the notional balance of the Hedging Arrangement shall be in an amount equal to the Required Notional Amount and, in the case of a swap, not exceeding the Net Receivables Balance (including any Receivables to be added in connection with such Funding). The form, structure and counterparty to each Hedging Arrangement shall be acceptable to the Note Insurer (and which, unless such Hedging Agreement is a cap agreement, shall be submitted to the Note Insurer for its prior review) and must be in full force and effect at all times during which the Net Receivables Balance is greater than zero (however such required amount may be reduced for the period of time between the pricing and the funding of a structured financing utilizing receivables released to the Debtor pursuant to Section 2.16 hereof by the Aggregate Outstanding Balance of such Receivables).

Hedging (a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, enter into any Interest Hedge Agreements (subject in each case to (i) satisfaction of the Rating Condition and (ii) unless the cost of such Interest Hedge Agreement is paid in full at the time it is executed, the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders). The Borrower will not amend or replace any Interest Hedge Agreement unless the Rating Condition shall have been satisfied in connection with such amendment or replacement and the Majority Lenders have provided their prior written consent thereto. The Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall promptly provide written notice of entry into, and the amendment or replacement of, any Interest Hedge Agreement to the Agents and the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall not enter into any Interest Hedge Agreement (A) unless it obtains written advice of counsel that (1) the written terms of the derivative directly relate to the Collateral Loans and (2) such derivative reduces the interest rate and/or foreign exchange risks related to the Collateral Loans and the Loans and (B) that would cause the Borrower to be considered a “commodity pool” as defined in Section 1a(10) of the Commodity Exchange Act unless (i) the Services Provider, and no other party, including but not limited to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Administrative Agent, is registered as a “commodity pool operator” as defined in Section 1(a)(11) of the Commodity Exchange Act and “commodity trading advisor” as defined in Section 1(a)(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act with the CFTC or (ii) with respect to the Borrower as the commodity pool, the Services Provider would be eligible for an exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor and all conditions for obtaining the exemption have been satisfied. The Services Provider agrees that for so long as the Borrower is a commodity pool, the Services Provider will take all actions necessary to ensure ongoing compliance with, as the case may be, either (x) the applicable exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator and/or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Borrower or (y) the applicable registration requirements as a commodity pool operator and/or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Borrower, and will in each case take any other actions required as a commodity pool operator and/or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Borrower.
(b) Each Interest Hedge Agreement shall contain appropriate limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 12.15. Each Interest Hedge Counterparty shall be required to satisfy, at the time that any Interest Hedge Agreement to which it is a party is entered into, the then-current S&P criteria for hedge counterparties with respect to any Interest Hedge Agreements shall be subject to the Priority of Payments specified in Section 9.1(a) and Section 6.4. Each Interest Hedge Agreement shall contain an acknowledgement by the Interest Hedge Counterparty that the obligations of the Borrower to the Interest Hedge Counterparty under the relevant Interest Hedge Agreement shall be payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments specified in Section 9.1(a) and Section 6.4 and the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide that it may not be terminated due to the occurrence of an Event of Default until liquidation of the Collateral has commenced.
Hedging Agreements The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Hedging Agreement, other than Hedging Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is exposed in the conduct of its business or the management of its liabilities.
Swap Agreements The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Swap Agreement, except (a) Swap Agreements entered into to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary has actual exposure (other than those in respect of Equity Interests of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), and (b) Swap Agreements entered into in order to effectively cap, collar or exchange interest rates (from fixed to floating rates, from one floating rate to another floating rate or otherwise) with respect to any interest-bearing liability or investment of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
