in
the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in
it under

| (viii) |
External
Marks.
|
At
such
time as the long-term senior debt rating of Party A’s Credit Support Provider is
BBB or lower from S&P, Party A in its capacity as Valuation Agent shall get
external verification of its calculation of Exposure on a monthly basis. This
verification shall be at Party A’s expense and may not be verified by the same
entity more than four (4) times in any twelve (12)-month period. The external
xxxx should reflect the higher of two (2) bids from counterparties that would
be
willing and eligible to provide the swap in the absence of the current provider.
Such bids and any external marks received by the Valuation Agent shall be
provided to S&P. The calculation of Exposure should be based on the greater
of the internal and external marks.
| (ix) |
Expenses.
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Paragraph 10, the Pledgor will be responsible for,
and will reimburse the Secured Party for, all transfer and other taxes and
other
costs involved in any Transfer of Eligible Collateral.
