The Transferor may in connection with such cancellation reduce a portion of the O/C Amount and may (but shall not be required to) cancel such portion of the O/C Amount, provided that the reduction in the O/C Amount resulting from such cancellation may not result in the O/C Amount being less than the Required O/C Amount.
