(i) Party B acknowledges that: (a) in connection with this Transaction and this Agreement, Party A has acted in the capacity of an arm’s-length contractual counterparty and not as its financial advisor or fiduciary; and (b) in exercising its rights or performing any of its duties under this Agreement, Party A will act as principal and not as a fiduciary of Party B.

In the event of a Credit Downgrade, Party A may, within ten days, at its own expense, arrange for one or more Replacement Above-Cap Liquidity Providers to enter into and deliver to Party B a Replacement Above-Cap Liquidity Facility for the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility.
