" Asset-Specific Loan Balance " shall mean the portion of any Loan allocable to each item of Eligible Collateral (converted into the Base Currency using the Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange as at the day which was one (1) Business Day prior to the relevant Funding Date of such Loan).  Such portion shall initially consist of the sum of the Loans made on account of such Eligible Collateral, advance costs and fees to the extent properly incurred by the Lenders and the Agent and the Security Trustee hereunder and borrowed by the Borrower hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this definition, whenever an Asset Value determination is required under this Agreement:

(b)
 
the Agent shall be entitled to consider any and all factors relevant to the determination of Asset Value including, without limitation, general and specific changes in the capital markets and the real estate markets, and other factors affecting any item of Eligible Collateral, the Borrower, any Collateral Obligor or the transactions contemplated hereunder.  Each communication by the Agent to the Borrower of an Asset Value determination pertaining to one or more items of Eligible Collateral shall be subject to the disclaimer provisions set forth in Clause 33.3 ( Disclaimers ).
