The quotation shall (i) take into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of the Non-Defaulting Party but (ii) disregard any losses, costs (or gains) in respect of any payment required to have been made and not made or non-compliance with clauses 4 or 5 on or before the Early Termination Date; and
