Contractual Dilution Reserve” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the Receivables of any Obligor, the aggregate amount of any reserves or liabilities maintained on the Seller’s books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Credit and Collection Policy for, or in anticipation of, volume rebates, flat fee rebates, performance-to-plan rebates, cost-plus-zero program rebates or similar rebates affecting or to affect the Receivables of such Obligor as reported on (i) prior to the Amortization Date, the most recently delivered Monthly Report, Weekly Report or Daily Report, as the case may be, or (ii) at any time on or after the Amortization Date, as reported on the last Monthly Report, Weekly Report or Daily Report delivered prior to the Amortization Date.

Excluded Contractual Dilution” means any amounts that would otherwise be included in clause (i)(x) of “Deemed Collections” that result from volume rebates, flat fee rebates, performance-to-plan rebates, cost-plus-zero program rebates or similar rebates affecting the Receivables of any Obligor during any period solely to the extent that such amounts do not, in the aggregate, exceed the Contractual Dilution Reserve for such Obligor and such period; provided, however, that on and after the Amortization Date, “Excluded Contractual Dilution” shall mean any amounts that would otherwise be included in clause (i)(x) of “Deemed Collections” that result from volume rebates, flat fee rebates, performance-to-plan rebates, cost-plus-zero program rebates or similar rebates affecting the Receivables of any Obligor since the Amortization Date solely to the extent that such amounts do not, in the aggregate, exceed the Contractual Dilution Reserve for such Obligor and determined pursuant to clause (ii) of “Contractual Dilution Reserve”.
