3. Consents, Waivers and Renewals.

will be the arithmetic mean of the Determinations, without regard to the Determinations having the highest and lowest values.

If exactly two Determinations are provided, the Determination will be the arithmetic mean of the Determinations. If fewer that two Determinations are provided, the Determination by the Valuation Agent (if any) shall prevail.

The costs of any Reference Market-maker called upon to make such Determination will be borne equally by the parties (other than Collateral Trustee), unless there is no Valuation Agent, in which case such costs will be borne by Grantor.

(b) “Reference Market-maker” means a leading dealer in the interest rate cap market that is independent of either party, selected by the party in good faith from among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer to make an extension of credit and, to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city.
