The Facility Agent shall provide written notice of the revised Discount Factor to the Borrower and the Servicer.

Any Discount Factor determined by the Approved Valuation Firm selected by the Servicer pursuant to this clause (c) shall be re-determined every six (6) months by such Approved Valuation Firm, which re- determined Discount Factor shall take effect upon the Facility Agent’s receipt of written notice thereof; provided that, if no such re-determined Discount Factor is provided with respect to any six-month period, the Discount Factor of such Disputable Collateral Obligation shall thereafter be the Discount Factor determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Discount Factor of any Disputable Collateral Obligation already subject to dispute pursuant to this clause (c) shall be determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion if such Collateral Obligation at any time (i) becomes subject to a second Revaluation Event or (ii) has a then-current Leverage Multiple more than 2.50x higher than the Original Leverage Multiple thereof. Subject to the foregoing, there shall be no limit on the number of Disputable Collateral Obligations that may be disputed pursuant to this clause (c). Section 2.8 Increase of Committed Facility Amount. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (which consent may be conditioned on one or more conditions precedent in its sole discretion), (i) increase the Commitment of the existing Lender Groups (pro rata) with the consent of all such Lender Groups, (ii) add additional Lender Groups and/or (iii) increase the Commitment of any Lender Group with the consent of such Lender Group, in each case, which shall increase the Committed Facility Amount by the amount of the increase of the Commitment of each such existing Lender Group and/or the amount of the Commitment of each additional Lender Group, as applicable; provided that, in no event shall the aggregate Commitments exceed $1,000,000,000.
