Party A acknowledges that for so long as there are reporting obligations with respect to this Transaction under the 1934 Act, the Depositor is required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, as amended (“Regulation AB”), to disclose certain information set forth in Regulation AB regarding Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate “significance percentage” of this Agreement (as such term is used in Regulation AB) and any other derivative contracts between Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and Party B, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.
(2)
Subject to the provisions of subsection 3) below, and so long as there are reporting obligations with respect to this Transaction under the 1934 Act, if the Depositor determines, reasonably and in good faith, in its sole discretion, that the significance percentage of this Agreement has increased to 9 percent, then the Depositor may request on such date of determination from Party A the same information set forth in Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB that would have been required if the significance percentage had in fact increased to 10 percent (such request, a “Swap Disclosure Request” and such requested information, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, is the “Swap Financial Disclosure”). Party B or the Depositor shall provide Party A with the calculations and any other information reasonably requested by Party A with respect to the Depositor’s determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request, provided that such determination of the significance percentage shall be in the Depositor’s sole discretion, exercised reasonably and in good faith.

Party B or the Depositor shall provide Party A with the calculations and any other information reasonably requested by Party A with respect to the Depositor’s determination that led to the Swap Disclosure Request, provided that such determination of the significance percentage shall be in the Depositor’s sole discretion, exercised reasonably and in good faith.
(4)
Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Request, Party A, at its own expense, shall (i) provide the Depositor with the Swap Financial Disclosure, (ii) subject to Rating Agency Confirmation, secure another entity to replace Party A as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement which entity is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure or (iii) subject to Rating Agency Confirmation, obtain a guaranty of Party A’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of Party A that is able to provide the Swap Financial Disclosure, such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable to Party A, and cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure.
