its
terms other than the following terms: party name, dates relevant
to the
effective date of such transfer, tax representations (provided that
the
representations in Part 2(a) are not modified) and any other
representations regarding the status of the substitute counterparty
of the
type included in Section (g) of this Part 5 and notice information
(in
which case, Party A shall provide written notice to S&P with respect
thereto); or
|
(c)
|
subject
to the Rating Agency Condition and subject to any interpretative
guidance
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission that determines

the requirement of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, obtain a guaranty
of Party
A’s obligations under this Agreement from an affiliate of Party A that
is
able to provide the applicable Swap Financial Disclosure satisfactory
in

Disclosure within five (5) Business
Days
|
The
Securities Administrator shall be under no obligation to monitor the
responsibilities of Party A under clause 5(r)(ii).
(iii)

a Swap
Disclosure Event is continuing, Party A shall provide any updates
to the
information provided pursuant to clause (ii) above to the Sponsor

Depositor within five (5) Business Days following availability thereof
(but in no event more than 45 days after the end of each of Party

fiscal quarter for any quarterly update, and in no even more than
90 days
after the end of each of Party A's fiscal year for any annual

|
All
information provided pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall

by the
Depositor with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and
