crease in the Senior Class Investor Amount is to

Balance in whole to the related Bank Investors and
if so requested under subsection 2.2(b), accept such

Class Facility Limits; provided that if one or more
(but not all) Senior Class Facility Limits have been

vestor Amounts hereunder by such Senior Class(es)
shall be made ratably among them in accordance with
their respective Senior Class Facility Limits. Each
acquisition of an Additional Investor Amount hereun-
der by the Bank Investors of a Senior Class (in the
aggregate) shall be made ratably in accordance with
the respective Commitments of such Bank Investors.
