365(a), or if a forward contract merchant, stockbroker, financial

shall be measured as of the earlier of--
(1) the date of such rejection; or
(2) the date or dates of such liquidation, termination, or acceleration.
(b) If there are not any commercially reasonable determinants of value as
of any date referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), damages
shall be measured as of the earliest subsequent date or dates on which there
are commercially reasonable determinants of value.
(c) For the purposes of subsection (b), if damages are not measured as of
the date or dates of rejection, liquidation, termination, or acceleration, and

(1) the trustee, in the case of an objection by a forward contract
merchant, stockbroker, financial institution, securities clearing agency,
repo participant, financial participant, master netting agreement
participant, or swap participant; or
(2) the forward contract merchant, stockbroker, financial institution,
securities clearing agency, repo participant, financial participant, master
netting agreement participant, or swap participant, in the case of an
objection by the trustee,
has the burden of proving that there were no commercially reasonable
determinants of value as of such date or dates.
