received from any Reference Market-maker, even if only one
quotation is provided, with which Party B is able, using its best
efforts, to enter into a Replacement Transaction even if Party B
reasonably believes such Market Quotation would not produce a
commercially reasonable result, and Party B hereby agrees to pay
to Party A such amounts as are received by Party B in connection
with it entering into a Replacement Transaction, less the amount,
if any, by which any Unpaid Amounts owed by Party A to Party B
exceed any Unpaid Amounts owed by Party B to Party A.

consequence of an Event of Default with respect to Party A, Party
A shall calculate such amount.
(iii) If Party A elects to assign as described above in clause
