(v) which by its terms is due and payable within 30 days of the original billing date therefor and has not had its payment terms extended; provided that in the case of any Receivable that but for this clause (v) would constitute an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable may nonetheless constitute an Eligible Receivable if and so long as (A) by its terms such Receivable is due and payable within 60 days of the original billing date therefor and has not had its payment terms extended, and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and all other Receivables that shall constitute Eligible Receivables by reason of this proviso does not at any time exceed 6% of the Outstanding Balance of all Receivables,

(ii) the denominator of which is the Net Eligible Outstanding Balance as of such last day.
