  6. Dexia maintains that (i) the assumptions made in its business plan, before simulation of an increase of […] or […] basis points, are already inherently stressed as they reflect the funding conditions in July 2009, which were admittedly better than those at the end of 2008 or the beginning of 2009, but do not reflect the positive trend in the second half of 2009; (ii) an assumption of no change in the funding mix would not reflect the behaviour of a market operator in such circumstances. The Commission confirms that the projected assumptions of the cost of funding before stress simulation are conservative in view of Dexia’s experience in 2009.

  9. Inertial Equipment for Azimuth, Heading, or North Pointing having any of the following characteristics, and specially designed components therefor: 1. Designed to have an Azimuth, Heading, or North Pointing accuracy equal to, or less (better) than 6 arc minutes RMS at 45 degrees latitude; or 2. Designed to have a non-operating shock level of 900 g or greater at a duration of 1 msec, or greater. Note 1: The parameters of 7A003.a. and 7A003.b. are applicable with any of the following environmental conditions: 1. Input random vibration with an overall magnitude of 7,7 g rms in the first half hour and a total test duration of one and one half hour per axis in each of the three perpendicular axes, when the random vibration meets the following: a. A constant power spectral density (PSD) value of 0,04 g2/Hz over a frequency interval of 15 to 1000 Hz; and b. The PSD attenuates with frequency from 0,04 g2/Hz to 0,01 g2/Hz over a frequency interval from 1000 to 2000 Hz; 2. A roll and yaw rate of equal to or more than +2,62 radian/s (150 deg/s); or 3.
