rates of interest for the Purchased Notes as provided herein;
or
(b) The Purchaser determines,
which determination shall be conclusive (and based on such
information as Majority Noteholders shall have given to the
Purchaser), that the relevant rate of interest referred to in the
definition of "One-Month LIBOR" in Section 1.01 of the Sale

interest for the Purchased Notes is to be determined is not
adequate to cover the cost to the Majority Noteholders of making or
maintaining Loans; or
(c) It becomes unlawful for
the Purchaser to honor its obligation to purchase Notes hereunder
or for any Noteholder to maintain its investment in Notes issued
hereunder, in each case, using One-Month LIBOR;
