(v)
Xxxx-to-market Procedures. This Agreement shall be marked-to-market no less than once per week and additional collateral should be posted if necessary. For as long as the Xxxxxx'x rating is A-2/BBB+ or higher, the xxxx-to-market valuations can be based upon internal marks. If Xxxxxx'x rating is BBB or lower, Xxxxxx shall get an external verification of its xxxx on a monthly basis. The verification of the xxxx can be obtained by an independent third party (i.e. trustee, administrator, manager), and cannot be verified by the same entity more than four times in any 12-month period. In addition, the external xxxx-to-market valuations should reflect the higher of two bids from counterparties that would be eligible and willing to provide the swap in the absence of the current provider. The collateral requirement should be based on the greater of the internal and external marks, and any deficiencies in collateral value must be cured within three days. Xxxxxx shall submit to Standard & Poor's the internal xxxx-to-market calculations. Once Xxxxxx has verified the xxxx-to-market valuation, it shall submit to Standard & Poor's the two bids provided by external parties.
