In the event that such rate is not available on any day at such time for any reason, then the “Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be the rate at which thirty (30) day U.S. Dollar deposits of $5,000,000 are offered by the principal London office of the Agent in immediately available funds in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day; and if the Agent is for any reason unable to determine the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate in the foregoing manner or has determined in good faith that the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate determined in such manner does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring, funding or maintaining a Purchaser Interest, the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate for such day shall be the Alternative Base Rate.”

In addition to the foregoing costs, if Seller shall request any Incremental Purchase during any period of time determined by the SMBC Company (or by the SMBC Company’s agent on its behalf) in its sole discretion to result in incrementally higher Company Costs with respect to the SMBC Company applicable to such Incremental Purchase by the SMBC Company, the Capital associated with any such Incremental Purchase shall, during such period, be deemed to be funded by the SMBC Company in a special pool (which may include capital associated with other receivable purchase facilities) for purposes of determining such additional Company Costs applicable only to such special pool and charged each day during such period against such Capital. Each Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue Company Costs with respect to the SMBC Company each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by the SMBC Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. For the purposes of this paragraph (d), “Pooled Commercial Paper” means Commercial Paper notes of the SMBC Company subject to any particular pooling arrangement by the SMBC Company, but excluding Commercial Paper issued by the SMBC Company for a tenor and in an amount specifically requested by any Person in connection with any agreement effected by the SMBC Company.
