“Weighted Average Class 3 Advance Rate” means, as of any date of determination with respect to all Class 3 Loans included in the Aggregate Class 3 Net Collateral Balance, the number obtained by (a) summing the products obtained by multiplying (i) the Advance Rate of each Class 3 Loan by (ii) such Class 3 Loan’s contribution to the Aggregate Class 3 Net Collateral Balance and dividing (b) such sum by the Aggregate Class 3 Net Collateral Balance.
“Weighted Average Life” means, as of any date of determination with respect to all Eligible Collateral Loans, the number of years following such date obtained by:
(a)summing the products of (i) the Average Life at such time of each Eligible Collateral Loan multiplied by (ii)(A) the Principal Balance plus (B) the Unfunded Amount of such Collateral Loan; and
(b)dividing such sum by the sum of the Aggregate Principal Balance plus the Unfunded Amount of all Eligible Collateral Loans as of such date.
For purposes of the foregoing, the “Average Life” is, on any date of determination with respect to any Eligible Collateral Loan, the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the products of (A) the number of years (rounded to the nearest one hundredth thereof) from such date of determination to the respective dates of each successive Scheduled Distribution of principal of such Collateral Loan and (B) the respective amounts of principal of such Scheduled Distributions by (ii) the sum of all successive Scheduled Distributions of principal on such Collateral Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Weighted Average Life of a Revolving Collateral Loan shall 
(a)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any costs, reductions, penalties or interest incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to any increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 1.03    Inability to Determine Rates.  If, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Applicable Index for the applicable Advances or that deposits in the applicable currency are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the applicable tenor, or the Applicable Index does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent has made a similar determination with respect to similarly situated borrowers in similar facilities. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based upon the Applicable Index shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice; provided that new Dollar Advances may be made at, and existing Dollar Advances would be maintained and converted to bear interest at, the Base Rate.

Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
Section 1.06    Payments Generally.    All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be paid by the Borrower to the applicable recipient in the applicable Available Currency, in immediately available funds, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment.  Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent.

Prepayments to be made pursuant to Section 2.06 for which the Collateral Agent has received a Notice of Prepayment two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of prepayment shall be wired by the Collateral Agent by 2:00 p.m. on such date.  All other payments by the Borrower must be received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day (the Collateral Agent shall then wire such funds to the Lenders by 5:00 p.m. on such Business Day); provided that, payments received by the Collateral Agent after 3:00 p.m. or payments received by the Lenders after 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day.  For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 6.01, amounts paid by the Borrower shall be deemed received upon payment by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent.  At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.
i.payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
ii.For any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(b)    If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may 

determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
