Aggregate Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the Reduction Amount; (b) the Aggregate 364-Day Commitment
shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the product of (i) the Reduction Amount multiplied by (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Aggregate 364-Day Commitment then in effect (but without giving affect to
such Asset Sale) and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Commitment then in effect (but without giving
affect to such Asset Sale); (c) the Overnight Funding Commitment shall be automatically reduced by an amount

Amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Funded Facility Commitment then in effect

Proceeds received on account of such Asset Sale. To the extent that after the consummation of an Asset Sale,
Borrower and/or FLF receive any cash payments on account of any Non-Cash Proceeds, Borrower shall promptly remit
such payments to the Collateral Agent, and such payments shall thereupon be considered to be a portion of the
Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale. Each such payment of Cash Proceeds to the Collateral Agent (other than cash
payments periodically received by Borrower and/or FLF on account of any Non-Cash Proceeds) shall be accompanied
by a report to the Collateral Agent certified to by Borrower's Chief Financial Officer or duly elected Treasurer

Asset Sale. The Collateral Agent shall distribute the Remitted Proceeds to the Syndication Parties and to the
Chase Group Agent as required under the Proceeds Sharing Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall be construed
as a waiver of any of the prohibitions, restrictions, or other provisions of Section 12.4 hereof.
