(a) the first of which shall be deemed to occur on the date on which such Disposition or realization occurs and which shall be in an amount equal the actual proceeds of such Disposition or realization; and
(b) the second of which shall be deemed to occur in the Due Period immediately following the Due Period in which such Disposition or realization occurred and which shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the related Deficient Amount;
