(vi)    On the Facility Sale Settlement Date in relation to any Collateralized Portfolio Investment, concurrently with (i) the delivery of the Collateralized Portfolio Investment to the Applicable Purchaser (or its Designated Assignee) and (ii) satisfaction of the payment obligations of the Applicable Purchaser (including through its Designated Assignee) in relation thereto, the Financing Provider shall Transfer to the Applicable Purchaser (or its Designated Assignee) the Cash Collateral amount previously Transferred by the Pledgor in relation to such Collateralized Portfolio Investment, provided that if so elected by the Applicable Purchaser (or its Designated Assignee) such Transfer may be netted or set-off against payment of the Purchase Price for such Collateralized Portfolio Investment by the Applicable Purchaser (or its Designated Assignee).
