                  extends the termination date of a purchaser’s participation in the facility by 180 days in the event liquidity support providers providing less than 50% of the liquidity commitments for such purchaser’s participation (“minority liquidity providers”) decline to renew their liquidity support commitments, and provides that such purchaser’s participation in the facility will not terminate by reason of such non-renewal if, prior to the end of such 180-day period, the non-renewing minority liquidity providers are replaced or have no amounts outstanding under their liquidity commitments; and

 

                  changes the length of time specified in the definition of “Legal Final Maturity Date” from one year to two years.
