The charge exchange A/sup +/+B ..-->.. A+B/sup +/* with excitation, proceeding via the Landau-Zener pseudocrossing of the quasimolecular terms, is considered. A theory that is asymptotic with respect to a large internuclear distance is proposed for the computation of the term splitting at the pseudocrossing point. The final expression contains two factors, one of which is equal to the splitting for the process of charge exchange without excitation, A/sup +/+B ..-->.. A+B/sup +/ and can be computed from the well-known formulas of the asymptotic theory. The second factor describes a transition in the B/sup +/ ion. The results of the cross-section calculation for the process He/sup +/+Hg(6s/sup 2/) ..-->.. He+Hg/sup +/(7p) are compared with the experimental data.
