Transfer, Amendment and Assignment:
No transfer, amendment, waiver, supplement, assignment or other modification of this Transaction (other than the pledge of this Transaction to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture) shall be permitted by either party unless S&P has been provided notice of the same and confirms in writing (including by facsimile transmission) that it will not downgrade, qualify, withdraw or otherwise modify its then-current rating of the Notes; provided however that except with respect to a transfer at the direction of UBS, nothing in this provision shall impose any obligation on UBS to give notice to any Rating Agency.
