The Reinsurer shall also indicate in the [***] if it believes that any asset in the Trust Account is not an Eligible Asset. The amount of security held in the Trust Account shall be adjusted on each Security Funding Date as follows: (i) So long as no FMV Triggering Event is continuing: (1) If the aggregate Statutory Book Value of the Eligible Assets held in the Trust Account as of the end of the applicable Valuation Date is less than the Adjusted Month-End Required Balance [***], as of such Security Funding Date, calculated based on the applicable Funding Report delivered pursuant to Section 5.8(a) or Section 5.8(c) [***], then the Reinsurer shall, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Security Funding Date, transfer additional Eligible Assets to the Trust Account so that the aggregate Statutory Book Value of the Eligible Assets held in the Trust Account is not less than such Adjusted Month-End Required Balance [***]; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Monthly Funding Date, the Reinsurer shall have no obligation to deposit assets into the Trust Account on any Security Funding Date pursuant to this Section 5.8(f)(i)(1) if the amount otherwise required to be deposited on such date is less than [***] (as applicable, the “Trust Adjustment Threshold”); and provided, further, however, that if by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Security Funding Date, the Reinsurer has not received amounts that are due on such date from any counterparties to the Reinsurer’s derivatives contracts covering the Reinsured Risks, the Reinsurer shall have until 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Security Funding Date to deposit the portion of the required deposit that the Reinsurer expected to be funded by such amounts.

(2) If the aggregate Statutory Book Value and the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Eligible Assets held in the Trust Account as of the end of the applicable Valuation Date exceed the Adjusted Month-End Required Balance [***], as of such Security Funding Date, calculated based on the applicable Funding Report delivered pursuant to Section 5.8(a) or 5.8(c) [***], then the Reinsurer shall have the right to withdraw excess assets on the Security Funding Date in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement upon the prior written consent of the Ceding Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, it being understood that the Ceding Company’s consent shall be deemed to have been provided if the Ceding Company has not responded to such request for consent within two and one-half hours following the delivery of such request to the Beneficiary on a Business Day.

(1) If the aggregate Statutory Book Value of the Eligible Assets held in the Trust Account as of the end of the applicable Valuation Date is less than the Adjusted Month-End Required Balance [***], as of such Security Funding Date, calculated based on the applicable Funding Report delivered pursuant to Section 5.8(a) or Section 5.8(c) [***], then the Reinsurer shall, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Security Funding Date, transfer additional Eligible Assets to the Trust Account so that the aggregate Statutory Book Value of the Eligible Assets held in the Trust Account is not less than such Adjusted Month-End Required Balance [***]; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Monthly Funding Date, the Reinsurer shall have no obligation to deposit assets into the Trust Account on any Security Funding Date pursuant to this Section 5.8(f)(i)(1) if the amount otherwise required to be deposited on such date is less than [***] (as applicable, the “Trust Adjustment Threshold”); and provided, further, however, that if by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Security Funding Date, the Reinsurer has not received amounts that are due on such date from any counterparties to the Reinsurer’s derivatives contracts covering the Reinsured Risks, the Reinsurer shall have until 6:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Security Funding Date to deposit the portion of the required deposit that the Reinsurer expected to be funded by such amounts.
